I sold my soul... (Thu Nov 1 15:17:28 2001 )
Pale(nli) [View profile ]


didn't get much for it, really. I think I bought 
a YAT cel with it.
*grin*
  Seriously..I have an aggravating job, where I 
get yelled at all the time..in fact being yelled 
at is in the job description. 

*must be able to handle (pantloads of) stress in 
a calm and collected manner, and deal with our 
internal customers on a day-to-day basis, in a 
manner consistant with company policy.*

So I picked an equally aggravating hobby, where, 
if you want a cel and you HAVE the money you 
either 
(A) will be the last one to the update. 
or
(B) NO ONE will update a series you collect. 
Because they JUST updated two days ago, and you 
were the last one to it.

**giggle**

As far as I can tell there are three types of cel 
collectors

Cel Grasshoppers:

Those who diversify and buy from many different 
series, so that there is BOUND to be SOMETHING 
they like updated at a decent price in their 
range. They dont tend to save much for cels 
because they live update to update.

Cel Ants:

Those who seriously narrow their collections to 
one specific character or series, that update so 
infrequently, that those collectors have the time 
to put away the huge amounts of cash needed to 
buy the single cel.


Cel Anthoppers:

They collect several really expensive series or 
characters. Run themselves into debt on the 
credit cards, lose interest in the hobby and end 
up selling it all on ebay so that the nice guy  
named Vito in the shiny suit doesn't come by and 
crack their shins.

*Smile*

I think I really want to be an Anthopper, and 
this is why I will never have a credit card.
Sure you have to walk away from a nice cel now 
and then, but at the same time you can sleep at 
night.
