Trying to find some focus
last modified: Thursday, July 07, 2005 (9:50:44 AM)
We're trying to narrow our gallery focus to a few less Series. I think it will be impossible for us to ever narrow it dow to one or two series but, we're opting to make a definite cut back in the things we are collecting. We're going to try & focus on mostly CLAMP series & a few personal favorites.

For example we've decided to sell our Tenshi Ni narumon collection (except for our gorgeous Miruru), our VPM collection (except Moru) & our Bakeretsu Hunters collection. (although try to sell may have been a better phrase as the auctions had little interest)

We just can't afford to pay our mortgage and collect so many series. At least not in the quality we're currently demanding our average cel price as of late is about $250 which is more than the "disposable" income we're ending up with per month. And since we don't really want to give up collecting, it's probably best if we just sell all the series we aren't seriously collecting. Which isn't to say of course that we won't collecting from some of the series we're getting rid of we just won't be collecting anything that isn't absolutely postively completely gorgeous. Well in theory anyway.

There are some problems with this current theory though which are:
1. We're going to miss our pretty cels

2. We're going to end up collecting more from the series eventually anyway and I know it

& 3. Selling them is proving difficult.

I seem to constantly have awful timing with sales though so, I'll chalk up to that. Well that and the cel market is pretty much dead for everything that isn't Inuyasha, anyway. Blah.

In more plesant news though I 'll be doing an update today. We've been sitting on quite a few items that have come to us through trades & what not that I was trying to wait to update until we got a few cels we're paying a pyaments on off but, since we haven't been able to finish off the pyaments just yet, we're going to go ahead and share our new pretties. So look forward to it this afternoon. ^_^

Thanks for the note on my gallery! I was very very sad to see that your KITE update today was NOT the A1End cel of her hair flowing out. I was SURE you would win that! (I even didn''t bid in hopes you would! LOL). However, that Sawa you got is lovely :)

CONGRATS! And keep up the good finds!

You always end up missing your pretties. Hopefully you''ll have better luck with your cels! Ganbatte!
