$685...wow. Lee, are you involved in some kind of illegal activity? Where do you keep getting all this money from? lol Anyway, it's a very lovely cel. Actually, probably one of the nicest I've ever seen. You make sure you treasure and preserve that Kikyo cel as best you can!  |

Hopefully you won't ever reach that point in your life. ^_^;
Actually, I'm kind of surprised at the value of cels nowadays. I don't know if it's because the traditional cel technique was abandoned thus making them more valuable, but it does seem like cel prices and climbing higher with each passing year. I mean, a CCS could set you back anywhere between $30-$80 about 10 years ago. Now it seems a person is highly unlikely to find a cel for under $100. I mean, just a random cel of Sakura smiling is super expensive. :/

@lauren, really is that true? well that's wired, and I thought for sure cel prices are dropping especially with this crappy econ all over the world. guess that's not the case and theres always hardcore people out there. still I see future cel collection being moved more to sketches since people would have no idea about all those old cel chars anymore, unless there are a bunch of old geezers that are still interested in anime art lol well I know for certain that some of my favor anime cel's cel prices dropped compared to 2-3 or 4 years ago and I believe every cel's price will go down eventually when people gets tired of collecting from that series.
@gabriel, ah haha, good to see your comment here ;D true I guess, but until now I still don't like dollfies That Much lol otherwise with all the money I spent on my resin kits I'd be able to get a bunch..tho in the long run dollfies would be more valuable since they have a set price tag and with resin it all depends on who did the construction and paint job..

I just ran over to eBay real quick to check a few prices on the CCS cels. It seems the quality cels are ranging from $150-200. And the cels of side characters no one ever wants (har har) are starting around $35-40. And I think cels can only go up in value. At least the ones from high quality series like CCS and Escaflowne. I don't think anyone's going to want a cel from a show like Gokudo or Maze in 10 years. Though I am guilty of owning a few Maze cels. ^_^;. I mean, as a collector, what would you rather have: a boring old genga or a nice vibrant production cel? Prices should be going up thanks to that kind of logic~ Rilezu cels on the other hand.... ;D With that sort of money you could have bought... A MINI DOLLFIE DREAM! XD Don't give him any ideas. ^^;; |

eh, yeah, I'd much rather a cel over sketches, but I wouldn't say old about all genga, since for all the new animes there are only genga and douga and no cel. therefore sketches are the only option. and I don't like rilezu either, it just doesn't have value since its not used in the anime. and I guess all the best animes will stay popular for years and years to come while those other animes of same age gradually decrease in value over time.
and well, I don't mind the dollfie eyes in fact I think there very beautiful, but I just can't stand ball joints..and the word "doll" doesn't register in my mind as collectible to a manly(discriminating against girly collectibles) collector like me lol

Trust me, the ball joints (in fact, they're not even balls - they're ball shaped hinge-joints XD) become part of their uniqueness, and part of their features.
If you were to adopt one, you'd understand lol I mean look at me - only a few months ago I shared your opinion, and even created a topic asking about them! And then here I am now with four (soon to be five!) lovely daughters ^^ (You can call them daughters and not 'doll'fies if you prefer XD).
They're just like bigger, beautiful action figures with endless customisable options!
And I ask you, who doesn't like customisation? WHO I ASK? WHOOO!??!!?!? *shakes lee by the shoulders* :3

I see what's going on here so clearly. Gabriel has obviously lost his mind. I don't like rilezu either, it just doesn't have value since its not used in the anime. and I guess all the best animes will stay popular for years and years to come while those other animes of same age gradually decrease in value over time. This I very much agree with. However, the fact that Rilezu prices hit $200-$300 a piece seems like backwards logic to me. Especially since, like you said, they aren't actual cels used in the making of a show. Do you know if they're mass produced? I read somewhere that some rilezu come with the original douga, so I don't know if that makes them one of a kind. |

lol you guys XD
yeah, for some reason rilezu companies usually charges around this amount for producing a piece of cel, and around double of it for oversize pan, I'm not exactly sure how it works but carious if you can just sent them a screen cap and they'll make that piece for you, that would be pretty amazing, too bad many series are not licensed out to those rilezu companies..otherwise I'd get a piece of school days chicks going yandere at eachother and frame right over my bad so I can wake up with a big smile every morning lol and I also wonder how much does it cost for them to produce a rilezu. anyways, at the very least some companies only make every screen shot once, so if its sold out then its gone forever, unlike those mass produced hanken, now those are truly outrages!
I heard something about some companies have a mix of original douga and reproduced sketches for the rilezus they make, since they don't have every single piece of douga that made the anime. I suppose in that case the ones that comes with the original douga would be worth a lot more, especially those epic scenes.
