You know, I feel the same way about the FY cel 
market.  Why do you think Im quitting?  Cant get 
a cel of anyone now for under 400$.  Just since 
the second half of last year has it gotten this 
bad.  I realize I paid a lot for cels, but I had 
to.  I had to compete too, Riven, we all do.  
You're not the only one who cant afford it now.  
Why do you think Im stopping?  As for Leigh's 
cels......she has cels that everyone wants....I 
stress the everyone part.  There's a lot of FY 
collectors out there who've got endless pockets, 
and dont post on the forum, or have galleries.  
It's hard for everyone, dont think you're alone.  
Nuriko is a popular character.  Im sorry you're 
having so much trouble getting one.  I had 
trouble too, I dont even want to start telling 
people how much money I've had to offer to get 
the ones I have.  It's really crazy.  But, he's 
my favorite character, and I know how many other 
people are after him too.  Just like evil 
Tamahome....  Look at how sought after he is!  I 
have heard the prices myself for those guys, and 
they make Nuriko money look like chump change. 
And how about Hotohori??  Now there's a chara for 
you....cant get a single nice face shot from the 
TV series for less than 500$ now. Im sorry you're 
having a hard time....but we're all in the same 
boat.  

I hate to say this......but...in the end, it's up 
to the collector to offer thier own money to what 
they choose.  Whether or not it hurts you or me, 
we cant do anything about it.  I dont like it 
either....but what can you do?  This wont change 
anyone's mind.  I've heard some of the offers 
being thrown around myself....and I cannot 
beleive what I see.  Leigh is a lucky gal!  
Hahah, but dont worry....  Maybe it'll get 
better.  Sorry again, but unfortunately, this is 
what has also driven me out of collecting.  Id 
only like a few more cels before I call it a 
day.  Good luck to everybody!  The Apocalypse has 
begun!!!
