I quite agree with you on the subject that FY 
cels have gotten out of hand. However at the 
same, a great deal of new collectors have shown 
up in just the past few months, thus making it 
very difficult for everyone trying to get the 
nice cels. Unfortunately lately there just hasn't 
been as many cels available as there used to be, 
thus the prices are getting very high.

I really miss the way it used to be. ;_; but I am 
just trudging along and picking up what I can. I 
can understand the high prices at Leighs, her 
cels are absolutely stunning and in some cases 
very rare. I am only trying for one cel, and so 
far I am holding the highest offer, but it'll 
make me poor for a long, long while. However in 
this case it's worth it to me, as I never though 
I would -ever- have a chance at this cel before.

I'm sorry you lost out on Keisuke. ;_; I had made 
a small offer on him in the beginning, but never 
heard back about him, so I figure my offer was 
too small. It is a really good scene though, and 
a nice TV cel of him.

I remember when a collector said that about 
buying an expensive cel, and I agree with them. 
But I also think a time comes when you can look 
at a cel and think, "Yes, I paid out the nose for 
it, but it was worth every single penny to make a 
dream come true", which in this case for me, it 
would be if everything turns out right.

Just a few thoughts of my own,
