Stores to go to for cels

I was about to post a thread regarding about this subject. Guess I dont need to now ^^

I buy from ebay mainly.
Anime museum is proberly the best place to go to with its ultimate sales.

Anime-link..unfortunately they have such great collections but for extremely high price.
I just placed a order there & they charge me postage $30 even though i have them setting my value as $20 whilst the order value was $250. The insurance price determines by item value too, they should had only charged me max $18.
When i sell on ebay i only charge $10 on postage.

Asylum anime is very reliable with the 5layers post & packaging. But at present time im still dealing with a issue. They sent me the wrong miyu cel. But they will get back to me next week after return from Tokyo. Hope everything works out fine.

Yes AL is like the exotic cars sales dealer lots of flash but damn expensive and they don't budge on pricing. As for the shipping issue well, you do know they charge for labor too. If you think your shipping was incorrect I hope you mentioned it politely in an email to them.

Hehe believe me I had done so before.
They reply by ''shipping rate is not negociable''

But I ended up buying 3 cels of there sales 2 days ago. I still feel its over priced though.

If werent for my seiya cel I wouldnt had bought from there. Aiy.. I so want that $500 pai cel though..will be on my wishlist FOREVER unless YJ ever has it!

I've always wondered where people get their beautiful cels, when I'm always checking Y!J and several stores for certain series and have never seen what they upload before. I'm afraid to ask them, though. I don't want to annoy anyone or seem desperate (which I can be, depending on cel ^^;;).

Anyone who is new, you really need to do some serious research. Make the effort if you really want to buy cels. Generally people will not tell you their secret dealers, websites for buying cels, especially if you are looking to buy the same series! Come on, I am not trying to be crass about this, but this is commonsense. You are competition, who is going to help their competition find a cel they themselves are hunting for?

However, in the spirit of helpfulness one place to begin looking is the RS cels shop. Check the others section too. There use to be a section (I can't find it anymore) that had ideas on where to go to buy cels from specific series, but I don't think people shared much information so it got axed.

Additionally, read all of E's suggestions and investigate the links under the Resources > Anime Cel and Production Art Links. Good luck kids.
