"I still think it sucks to pay that kind of money 
when the image you are getting is not worth it."

Shawnna,
Take a step back and read that statement again.  
Now apply it to every collector in the world.  Do 
you see the problem?  ;-)

I also have to chuckle about how dismissive you 
are about these little sheets of "plastic with a 
painted image on it that's, oh, about 5 inches 
high and 1 inch across".  Shawnna, they're ALL 
just little sheets of plastic.  And many 
non-collectors wouldn't see the difference at all 
between having an image thats 5 inches tall or 10. 
 Eyes open or closed.  Heh, heh.  But when you 
can't have the grapes, it's best to assume they 
were all sour anyway.....

I'm not trying to be a jerk.  I just wanted to 
inject a bit of reality.  I hope that we can 
maintain a sense of community and still trade/sell 
cels between us at reasonable prices.  But we 
can't ignore the fact that the unwashed masses out 
there are clamboring for cels, too.

For the record, I've NEVER bought anything at Taro 
 (mainly because nothing has caught my eye 
yet).....sweetie.
