    Yes, the seller was caught behaving badly on the cel thread here on MW, very bizarre behavior.  In short, his accounts were all permanently banned.

    As for the cel, you can buy whatever you want, but know that he is also a cel scalper.  That cel, like the rest of his listings, most likely was bought straight from Yahoo Japan Auctions for 1/4 or less the current asking price on eBay.  You can probably go back and read up on his antics in this very thread.  SO buying the cel is basically just fueling his scalping of more cels, unless he gave up on his cel scalping scheme.

    oof, thanks for the info! i figured the price was stupid high and was going to make a "reasonable" offer, but thanks for the warning. we'll keep an eye out for similar pieces on YJ. Who is a good US proxy service nowadays?

  2. My gf got curious about my framed Minmay I picked up in 2008 which you can find in my post history, which led to a conversation about cel collection and checking out a few auctions. She loves the art in this current eBay auction and she thinks it would look great with the rest of the art we have on display in our home. It's obviously just background characters, but I'm not saying no to girlfriend approval for more Macross on the walls. 

    My only concern is separating the cel from the paper backing for framing and display. I know it's theoretically possible, but I've never attempted it and the cel is quite old. How risky would it be to try to separate as a first-timer? Would it even be worthwhile to separate the cel from the backing? Also, do we know if the seller is a member here?

    P.S. -
