When I first started looking at cels and reading
this forum about a year ago, I only had one cel
I wanted to purchase:  a nice shot of Eve from
the first MegaZone 23 OVA.  For the past year,
I've checked just about every cel update from 
every dealer on Keep-Track searching for that 
elusive Eve cel.  I've also rifled through every
cel book of every cel dealer at the conventions
I've been to with no success.  In the process,
I started buying other cels, and amassed a fairly
solid (if small) collection.  At one point, I was
willing to trade every cel I own for just one Eve
cel, but I didn't get anywhere with that, either.
In the end, I just gave up on ever finding one 
another collector hadn't decided to take to their
grave.

Anyway, to make a long story short, tonight I was
killing some time by surfing the web when I came
across a cel dealer known as "Robert's Corner
Anime Store".  I'd been to the site before, but
stopped visiting it because he didn't seem to
update very often.  Sure enough, there was the
Eve cel I had been looking for.  Sold, of course,
for $125.  -_-

If the person who bought this cel would like to
sell it for a tidy profit, please contact me. 
For that matter, if anyone has a lead on a Part 1
(must be Part 1) Eve cel, I'd *really* appreciate
it if they could contact me.  

I've done this cel beg on this forum before, so
I don't really expect anything to come of this
post.  I just needed to post this rant to ease
my disappointment a bit.

Eve is my all-time favorite anime character, but
it really is beginning to seem like I'm cursed 
never to find a cel of her someone's willing to
part with.
