There are a few dealers here in the USA that are trustworthy that carry Akira cels.
Rick at Anime link

and Dave at Nichibei

I have done a lot of business with both and can recomend them.

ah yes, i purchased a douga from anime-link before. the only problem is i'm international post. costs $30. bit much i'm afraid! they have some wonderful stuff though. and Nichibi too! i think that where i originally saw Akira cels and decided to start collecting.

ah well, some guy's after contacting me with 9 cels for sale. should keep me sorted for the next while :)

The same thing happened to me - I saw a Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust cel that I missed at an earlier originalanimearts ebay auction - it was relisted. So I bid, won it, paid, but the cel didn't arrive. I emailed an enquiry, no reply, emailed again 6 weeks later and got a short reply saying "I seem to remember sending this out..." and "I'll look into it". He claimed not to have received my earlier email.`

Now it's 1 year later, still no cel and no reply to subsequent emails. After reading other people's experiences I'd say it's a scam.
