Re: My Survival guide to cel collecting...part 2 (Sun Nov 4 08:43:23 2001 )
[View profile ]


Ok, the rest of my post... This has helped me 
somewhat. Well, I've started to really think over 
what I really want in my cels for one. If I look 
at a cel and well, my first thought is, "Would I 
resell it if I HAD to-if that came down to it? 
(not for profit, say a dream cel popped up and I 
sold some of my cels to make up for it sorta 
case:) if I say to myself "NEVER...will it be 
sold!" then will go after it with all my heart. I 
want to collect only those cels that are dear to 
my heart and never will be sold in a haste of 
needing money-something I've done a lot in the 
past and somewhat now, but trying to change my 
habits to help myself. It does help a lot, well 
for me to think that way and get into some type 
of mind set and system. "Do I really need this?" 
I've been weaving out my collection like that 
selling the cels that are not glued to my butt, 
that I don't adore and just going after the ones 
I fall in love at first sight, those cels that 
make you scream and cry at the same time. If I 
don't have a reaction, then well...won't usualy 
buy it, or if it's not that cel in my wishlist 
gallery, won't go for it. I TRY...it's hard, but 
well, it's a struggle to sometimes let things 
pass to others who might desire it, and make them 
happy when you still have the money and a dream 
cel might pop up if you do! I tend to take my 
time and think about it a lot before buying if I 
can, and it helps on my funds, patience, my poor 
heart, my nerves and well, other emotions that 
come with this hobby. Saving up a kitty on the 
side away from other funds helps too. A fund that 
only goes towards cels and nothing else and 
taking the rest of a paycheck and well, monies 
and mulla management. It can be hard when a dream 
cel pops up and you need money, but if you have a 
kitty aside with funds, it makes life a lot 
easier and your poor heart can rest. I plan ahead 
of time with funds before anything shows up in 
case it does and 90% of the time, it does. This 
has changed my life GREATLYT and well, I am less 
nervous in this hobby in that part of collecting. 
So that I don't overspend and go deeper in debt 
than I already am. -_-;; That debt was made a few 
years BEFORE collecting...scarry... I got into a 
system after buying cels, I build that kitty 
right back up and so far, it works for me! Just 
bought cels, and I've never spent that much money 
since my last dream cel. I could have bought a 
hnaken cel or two for the money I spent this last 
month, but oh well. The good thing I had money 
off to the side already set for bills. As for 
everything else that comes with cel collecting, I 
have set up other plans so I can have an easy cel 
collecting hobby. If anyone wants to hear other 
things I've done to make it easier, might post a 
link to the helpful hints. Heh. As for time and 
staying up late, checking every few minutes, god, 
I'm an insomniac and abit obsessive with that at 
times, and don't go to bed till 5-am to get the 
updates, but well, I can hardly sleep anyway and 
wish I did...but think that will never change. 
^_^ Peace fellow cel people!
