Have eBay sellers lost their minds?!

Fake?? no.. not fake.. stolen! =)

There seem to be more on the market lately. Maybe they sold a few file cabinets to someone. They're into selling out... not sure why cels should be the one thing that *doesn't* get sold.

But prior to a few years ago, I was under the impression most were stolen. Heck, I personally met a guy who took Karekano cels out of the studio during a tour. I'm not one to pass judgement or make generalizations, but I don't think cel collectors typically ask where stuff comes from as long as they know it's genuine. There's a good chance you might not want to know.

Black market animation! They're HOT CELS! XD

There is a rumor floating that 1 seller on Yahoo Japan with the ID God_hand777 is a high up at Gainax. Most of the primo cels from Gainax that are put up for auction on Yj are from this seller. I got my Rei cel as well as my Mahoromatic cel from this person.

YEAH! I know that seller, he sell evangelion and movie cels sheap(altough the prices increase due to bidding wars). Hell, he's selling a nice Rei cel now.
