Long story short, I'm in hyperdrive trying to raise some money. I had this thread up at the Sega board, but upon realization that there's a lot of people here that don't go there, I decided to post it here as well. I'm trying to raise at least $100 in 3 days, and if I can raise more, it'll just make my odds that much better. Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read through this, and even more thanks to anyone that can buy.
Prices aren't initially set, because even though I have an idea of what I'd like for them, I also fear my desperation would cause me to gouge. If there's something that catches your eye, either PM or IM me and we can kick things around. Thanks again.

Pok?mon guide
img386.imageshack.us/img386/3772/pokeguidewk4.jpg
Iiiiiii can't really explain owning this book. I think it was during a yard sale last summer when I got a crapload of game guides. Anyway, the only Pok?mon game I've ever played is Pok?mon Snap, so I hardly need this one. Anyone out there a guide-whoring nerd like me and want it just because it's pretty?
Sonic X cards
img337.imageshack.us/img337/1129/sonicxcardsvq2.jpg
I have two of every card that is shown here. I got a "starter deck" from this series of cards a while ago, but for some reason the starter had 5 sets of the same 20-ish cards. I felt kind of ripped off, frankly. In any case, I really don't need multiple sets. I should point out that the bottom right card that's slightly separated is a promo card that came along with something else, so if people start buying these cards, copies of that card will cost slightly more.

DBZ Japanese cards
img160.imageshack.us/img160/4171/dbzjapaneseuw6.jpg
I can't remember off the top of my head how many cards are in each of these sets. I wrapped them up ages ago to sell them on eBay, but they never sold. If someone's interested in them, I'll open them back up and get you the numbers.
Pokecards
img76.imageshack.us/img76/8155/pokecardswf6.jpg
These cards I actually rescued from work, because if I hadn't brought them home they would've been thrown away :\ and that just seems wasteful. They're all foily cards, so uh... *shrug* they're shiney?

FMA poster
img385.imageshack.us/img385/8453/fmaposterkr8.jpg
Not sure I can actually call that last one a "poster", because it's not huge, but it IS bigger than the fliers. It's just a little small for what I'd normally call a poster is all.
Brawl ads
img175.imageshack.us/img175/6431/brawladspq9.jpg
I snatched a handful of these things from a Best Buy before the game came out because I thought they looked spiffy and could look nice on the wall. I forget exactly how many of these I have, but I think it's around half a dozen.
Game posters
img385.imageshack.us/img385/7488/gamepostersyf5.jpg
I know several of you probably have these, but some others may not, so it's worth offering. Currently, NiGHTS and Mario are not up for sale. I'll turn to them if I get really desperate, I guess.
Saint Tail poster
img124.imageshack.us/img124/8882/sainttailww7.jpg
Another item I can't explain the origins of. I THINK I got it from a hobby store owner back when I still lived in Battle Creek. I don't know a damn thing about this series, and I'd like to unload it to someone who does.

img337.imageshack.us/img337/866/yugiohad1bl5.jpg
YGO poster 2
img515.imageshack.us/img515/746/yugiohad2vz8.jpg
These I know came from the hobby store guy back at home. He'd been about to toss them (which is why they're folded, sadly), but kept them around at the last minute to see if I wanted them. I DO kinda like them, but they just get overruled by my other wallhangings, so as of yet they've still never actually been on the wall.
Pikachu doll
img206.imageshack.us/img206/9139/pikadollvc0.jpg
I would've liked this doll more if not for the big stand it's on. It was given to me by a guy at work that ended up with a double; apparently there's some version of the Pok?mon CCG that has like... game pieces, or something. I dunno, I never actually played that game.
Togepi and Ekans dolls
img411.imageshack.us/my.php?image=Pok? Doll s2jc3.jpg
Just a couple of dolls I accumulated from wherever. The togepi doll is a little beaten up, as it was once a keychain, but it's still in reasonable shape.
Sasuke doll
img124.imageshack.us/img124/3978/sasukedollan3.jpg
Not actually a bad little figure, just I have a different one of Sasuke that I like more, so this one's expendable. It was given to me by a person I don't really consider to be a friend anymore, anyway.
LotR sword
img504.imageshack.us/img504/3695/lotrswordph0.jpg
Anyone that knows what a LotR tard I am will probably find this shocking. This sword really isn't bad, I just really like my Sting sword more. This sword is a replica of Arwen's sword, but not the same size; it's closer to the size of Sting. Since I pretty much never use it at the ren faire, I don't see much use in keeping it around.
Mario Kart 64 game, manual, and guide
img141.imageshack.us/img141/6886/mario64wm8.jpg
Something else I got at a garage sale last summer. I dunno, I just never really got very into this game, so parting with it really doesn't feel difficult for me. Anyone out there still play their N64?
Mario can
img504.imageshack.us/img504/5264/mariocanyv2.jpg
I know several of you have had this drink before. Let me state from the start that this is an empty can (and the drink inside was quite tastey), but I dunno, I just think it's a neat little collectible to have around. As I have an extra of these, it's worth at least seeing if anyone might want it.
Blink 182 shirt
img373.imageshack.us/img373/3149/blink182shirtfq5.jpg
Size M, hasn't been worn more than a couple times. I just don't like the way it feels in the shoulders.
M&M thing
img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mmjj7.jpg
I... can't really explain this. My mom got it for me on Valentine's day as a goof gift because it's so WTF. XD His beanie is also a mild spin game, btw. There's different sections on there for the arrow to point to. His hat comes off, and originally candy was inside, but I suppose now you could put whatever you want in it.
Butterfly hairstick
img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hairstickuk4.jpg
I actually still really like this, but as my hair is rarely long enough to use it, I figure I may as well offer it up to a better home. It's made of real metal, and is very durable. I got this from an Asian gifts store, so for all I know it could be imported instead of made-here-to-look-like-it-came-from-there.
Dragon box
img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dragonboxbq0.jpg
To be honest, I don't -really- want to sell this, but the thing is I don't really ever use it. It just sorta... sits around and looks pretty and gathers dust. And lately, I've had an Eevee doll standing on it, so it's REALLY not being appreciated. I want to warn anyone that buys this, however, that it's very heavy, so the shipping definitely wouldn't be cheap.
Animation Cels/Sketches
By recommendation that I explain first, a "cel" is what is (or rather, was) used to create animation. First the scene is layed out in sketch form, and then the final draft of the image is traced onto a sheet of acetate plastic. The colour is added by painting it from behind. Photograph all of the cels in sequence, and you have an animated image. Cels (and sketches, especially now that cels are no longer used) make neat collectibles because you actually OWN a piece of the show.

There's a couple of small bends on this cel, but they're not too noticible. At least, didn't seem so to me.

This sketch also has its time sheet, which I've always heard is a good bonus.
