What is your best DEAL ever on a cel or sketch?

Post by glorff »

I was cleaning up my gallery and started thinking about this.

My best "DEAL" ever is this $5.00 cel from AKON a few years ago.

Check out the scan in the sketch area to see what it looks like on white, which is how I found it. :wink:

I got this cel for free due to a seller's mistake.

I have some other cheap cels and freebies, but that has got to be the best deal I've ever gotten due to the original price. It also happened to be from a sequence I wanted a cel from, which sweetened the deal so much more! :)

It was about $5 (I think it was only for shipping.... :) )

I was really thinking about something that was purchased, not free. :wink:

I consider all of my Ayashi no Ceres cels (minus Aki with the gun) to be great deals due to the drastic price drop this summer.

My Sharon Apple was a steal too - it had been labeled as Sailor Moon, until someone informed the dealer. I just confirmed the series and purchased. :P

My best deal has to be my Sano and Sayo pan cel from Rurouni Kenshin;

http://onihime.rubberslug.com/gallery/i ... emID=68766

I didn't even know I was bidding on it. 8O In the Mandarake auction description was some very rough layout sketches of Sano and some seagull sketches. That cel wasn't even in the auction pictures. I was the only bidder and got the entire set for 3000 JPY plus shipping. Yeah I'd say that was a bargain. :D

My best deal was winning a Mahoujin Guru Guru cel lot of 68 cels for around $90.00. That was approx. $1.50 for each cel!

This one was my best cel deal:

Grove in Spirit Form

It ended up costing me 9 cents. 8O

For me it was this cel
http://dbzgt.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv ... mID=129480
It came with like 4 other cels and had a BIN price of something like $120. I sold the others for more than $120 and kept that one. So its like i got it for free plus couple of bucks :D Ive seen couple from the same sequence sell for $400+ So it was kickass.

Probably this entire gallery:
http://starphoenix.rubberslug.com/galle ... esID=17424
It was about $1.75 for each cel + sketch. This group came with entire sequences and oversized cels. They are one of my favorite cels in my collection too. :)

A whopping $40 bucks :wink:
And a wishlist item for me too! Can't compain! :D
Apparently when it was listed it went under the radars-- it had a BIN the same price
as the opening bid and was mislabeled.
