That about says it (props to Yoshito for reminding me about that line in another thread). I recently lost out on a pseudo-wishlist Armitage cel a few weeks ago, only to see this one show up. It's one of those cels that I wished I had bid on years ago, back in my early days of collecting and never thought I'd see on the market again.
Long story short (and not that it necessarily amounts to anything), I call dibs.

I know there's another collector or two out there who may also have their eye on this cel, and I've e-mailed one of them about it, but this may still turn into an all-out slap-fest.
So... get out the popcorn, boys and girls. This may be fun to watch.

Best of luck, it's a very pretty cel.

I can understand your passion for it, I have my own cels that I've missed and if I ever saw on the market again I'd go all out for.

Will certainly be interesting to watch. ^_^

Thanks, Nene.
I certainly do hope I have a shot at it.
Of course it comes at a very bad time as far as finances are concerned. But then again, don't all the really nice cels show up when your money is committed elsewhere?
As Zero would say, that's what credit cards are for.

Awesome cel. And it's the END cel too! Good luck, hope you get it.

That's a gorgeous cel!! It really is and I hope you win it!! Shame I don't have the funds to keep adding to my own Armitage collection, but I sure know a beaut when I see it!

I'd also recommend you to head down to AnimeLink...for a gander...wow!

Good luck!

Yeah. They do have some nice shots over there, but nothing that really "matches" the two Armitage cels I currently have. Know what I mean? Just one of those little hang-ups I've got when it comes to my collection.

Thanks for the luck, redwolf, Ronin!

Definately. I've been overloaded with cel goodness starting from the end of August and it hasn't stopped. >.< I'm hoping I don't find anything else I want for the sake of my bank account and sanity. I nearly went crazy when I almost couldn't buy my Bean cel. And I need to put some money aside for non-cel emergencies afterall.

Agreed. Albeit mine has a small credit limit that's been used up already. ^_^;

Allow me to echo Red's comments. With the END clearly visible it just heightens the excitment. Fetish4Minx is the one you have to look out for, she's the Armitage queen and the friend I sold my whole Armitage3 collection to

I'm glad this leaves me out of the competition!
Best of luck with this one 4D, we're rooting for ya! However now you've declared your intentions, if you loose we get to slap you.

Actually, there's another one out there whom I fear even more.

I've got a good hunch this is going to be a difficult auction for me to win. But I certainly don't want to get slapped around by everyone here at Beta.

It's only money, right?

Besides me? Mwuahahahahaha... *gets all his hack programs ready for bidding*

Nah, just teasing, not into Armitage so you're safe.

I say we all get to slap you if you loose. That way you'll want to win it at all cost.

Good luck, 4d!! Awesome cel!

Good luck, sweetie!

But I'll be slappin ya with everyone else if you lose.. j/k!

Whoo hoo! She's mine!

The cel gods are smiling upon me again today.
Which means that no one gets to slap me around, though. (sorry, Yoshito) I must admit it was a bit of a motivating factor.

Truthfully, though, I chalk the win up to all the good vibes you guy sent my way.
