I can understand and sympathize with you.

I went to school at a private university that 
gave me an academic scholarship that covered my 
tuition. My family worked very hard to be able to 
afford room and board as the school was out of 
state.  However, there were a lot of people there 
who could afford $30,000 a year in cash for 
tuition, people who drove cars that cost more 
than our house. Was I jealous of them? Heck 
yeah!  While I’m sitting in the laundry room 
watching my clothes dry, they have a maid service 
that comes and does all their pressing and 
cleaning. Did I want to vent my frustration, heck 
yeah!  Did I seek out friends to do so? Of course.

So, as a friend on the board, I would like to say 
I understand and can sympathize. Can I afford the 
$3,000 Trunks cel I love? No.  If you can, kudos 
for you.  I just hope you love the cel as much as 
the rest of us  =)

My answer has been making my own of the more 
expensive series that I just can’t afford  
(please, no flames for this). It’s not real, but 
when you frame it and put it on the wall (which I 
try to do for all of my cels) it looks almost the 
same. Besides, if it’s a fan cel, you can get 
away with less expensive frames and matting!

If you'd like to see the fancels, please go to:

Keep looking, though. From the sounds of it, 
there are times when you can still get beautiful 
cels for a reasonable price!
