What's the most $$ you spent on a cel?

Right now, my highest is $310 on a Gundam cel.

collecting for 23 years now and the most was my belladandy from ah! my goddess for $189 from yj just last month. before that it was minmay from the dyrl movie for 179. but then i'm strange since my spending is inverted from most people. most wouldn't spend more than $70 for a fan cel i've spent about 500 for my vance hu deedlit and the other big and huge cels from hu run between 300 to 400. thank goodness that all in the past now. the 1990's was a bad and good year for me. currently spending about 100 a month which is reasonable.

Definitely $400 with shipping included for my Shuichi pan cel from Gravitation.

It made me so angry too because I bought it for a friend who really wanted it. He was going to pay me back but then said he didnt want it just after the seller shipped it.

My next most expensive one I just bought for $350 (35000yen). Its a framed close-up of Kenshin.
Ive also just got a $300 Saber Marionette J cel, a $300 Wolfwood, and a $280 Duo cel from Gundam Wing.

Those are the top five.

crap double post! Sorry!! >_<

When I started collecting, my first cel cost $80. I thought that was a lot of money for the cel but I wanted it. True sign of an early addict!

I have now graduated into complete and utter madness for collecting. My most expensive cel is $1000 followed by my second most expensive which is $1000.
