Interesting comments, you must be an Escaflowne 
fan. :)

For the most part, I would tend to agree, but then 
since I wouldn't pay $900 for that Serena cel 
doesn't mean someone else won't. 

I think sometimes dealers forget who their buyers 
are. Judging the people on this Forum and others I 
know, I would say most are in high school, college 
or have just graduated. I know when I was in 
college a few years ago, I didn't have $1000 to 
spend on a cel, I don't think things have changed. 

Take a look at some sites where cels sit for 
months with no one buying them. It seems like bad 
business sense to price cels so high no one can 
afford to buy them.

Hmm....well, I would say that since I know of some 
people buying them at those prices, is the price 
reasonable? Well, to the buyer it is. 

Heck, Taro had a few cels from the Esca movie a 
few months back of Hitomi and Van with wings 
flying together at $970 a pop. They were gone 
within seconds of the update. I was lucky enough 
to snatch one. Was it worth it to me? Absolutely. 
Do I regret buying it? No way.

Just my opinion.
