No he jacked it up. It was at like $795.00 I think initially. so much for just a split second shot but a cool ass cel. Sucks that it's not from TV.

Thanks! It's funny I just mentioned that there are never any SDF cels and this one popped up, just sucks that it's not a TV cel.

Does anyone know where this is from?

Aaahhh I see. I was looking at that episode and skip through that part to fast just recently. Thank you so much for pointing that out !

Exactly that’s what I noticed but I’m not sure where it’s from though.

That one was massive...

I don’t think this one is from Macross 7z it also not from DYRL it Tv.

That doesn't seem to be from Macross 7.

Very nice but asides from this I haven't seen any floating around anywhere.. I think I saw this one a while back.

That is cool, I noticed the Seiko and Kina/Iyo but didn't think of it like that. Thanks for pointing it out! The Max cel didn't have the background and seemed to be wavy and have a slight vinegar smell from what I saw. I think it would be fair to pay around $800.00 for that or maybe a little less. Valk cels I notice are becoming pretty rare. I still want to see some SDF-1 cels..

Actually it's from EP 18 no background though just the cel. Also, I wonder why there aren't any really insane cels and backgrounds for sale.. There must be MANY I mean there are thousands and thousands of backgrounds even from 36 episodes.. I haven't seen any SDF-1 cels ever either!

It's matching. I wonder on the Max valkryie if the background matches.

Sorry, that's what I meant. YJA. But still, you can easily verify that these are legit and the sellers too on YJA.. This one just went for like around 100 pretty nice cel with background!! https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-q291068841

I wonder why for example, a simple cel or sketch that would sell on Rinkya for like $200.00 would sell on Mandarake for $800.00?

Hey thanks for the info. I really think that once you submit a bid before a high one that they see that and they will bid to jack the price up. Not every time but I think that it' something that they do to make a higher commission. Who knows though. The sketches are AWESOME!

So for example. Lets say a DBZ cel is worth no more than $100.00. I happen to REALLY like it and just for the hell of it I place a bit a few days before the auction ends for $1,500.00. When the auction ends it sells for $1,500.00 the end price is the same on Rinkya and YJ. You don't think that Rinkya has someone bid to raise the price to get higher fees or money for the seller somehow? Because Rinkya saw my ridiculously high bid.. I feel something odd is going on here though. I have seen some junk-mediocre Macross cels sell for a VERY high price MUCH more than what they are worth on Rinkya and Mandaraki. For example a simple Hikaru cel on ebay asking for $300.00 would probably sell for like $800.00 on Rinkya/Mandarake.. It doesn't make sense.. I don't think someone would overpay so high like that for nothing when they can purchase some cels on ebay much cheaper.. Thoughts? Thanks

That is exactly what I was thinking. However, when I saw the ending price on YJ it was the same as Rinkay...

What are better bidding websites like proxy there is I think white rabbit or something like that. For example a cel that was worth $300.00 no more than that I bid $1,300.00 on and the bid went to $1,290.00 just A LITTLE SKETCHY eh? I was bidding on Rinkya and I placed the bid 6 days before the auction ended. Something FISHY is going on and it ain't sushi. This has happened in the past. When I wait for the last min to bid and bid in lower increments it will sell for MUCH less even a better cel. I think they are looking for higher pre-bids and then when it comes time towards the end they bid or have others bid to meet the high price. For example if there is a book that is only worth about 100 yen and I bid 500,000 yen days before the auction ends somehow someone will bid up to 499,000 yen... Something deff not kosher going on.

I think there may be some foul play with Rinkya. I bid 6 days before the auction ending a very high price on some cels that previously sold. They weren't worth but a few hundred dollars. They ended up selling for 1-1.5k I think that Rinkya knew the amounts and had some type of internal bidding to jack the price up somehow to earn higher commissions/fees. Thoughts?
