More Thoughts on Acetate Addiction

Well you two, I've always kept an eye on your two...since I have to attribute so much to you! I found Anime-beta because of you...and you actually re-kindled my interested in cels (thanks for the HUGE boost in my collection!)

Rather interesting...because I feel I am paralelling you in so much! We still have our site (still empty! LOL)...and we are constantly trying to par down our collection due to overspending.

I don't know...you guys are so friendly and nice. Thank you for the Mezzo cels you sold me last month! (still not on my site, though).

I don't know...this pattern of buying...buying bigger...selling...selling more...seems to be a norm for cel collecting.

How many other people are going through this cycle??

Awww... We feel oh so important now. I''m always glad to recruit another addict er... I mean collector of fine art.

We aren''t overspending currently so much as we aren''t spending at all becasue we can''t.(of course I have to sneak in an occassional wishlist purchase) Darn real life getting in the way of our hard core cel collecting. I hate selling to buy though it just always seemed so wrong, it just makes you wonder why in the world you bought something if you''re just going to sell it a week later. I suppose though, it all boils down to what you have, what you want and how much money you have to spend to make what you want into what you have.

Let''s just hope we both eventuallly get everything where we want it to be. :) and pick up some gorgeous cels along the way.

I have wondered that too (why buy a cel one days if I''m going to sell it the next?)

But then, I''ve found with some cels...that once you get them, the art or overall punch isn''t what you expected. I''ve bought a few off of bad pictures and been very dissapointed in the line fading/damage/etc.

I''m quite surprised at how much artwork I''ve bought over the last 10 months. I''d like to sell 1/3-1/2 of it...but I seem to have the same problem you do---Either no one wants it...or the market is bad/low! LOL!

At least in that respect you have your everydayanime.com! :)

Gotta go..
