Where to buy Animation Cels & Collectors Items

Hey guys, I'm looking at purchasing an Astroboy Animation Cel, but it seems there's not a lot available through ebay and the english sites I've found.
Can anyone suggest any good websites that would post to Australia? I'd be interested in other collector items as well if cels turn out to be too difficult to locate. Any help much appreciated!

Try going to anime conventions, big ones that cater to over 2000 convention goers such as Sakura Con (Washington's main convention), there you will be most likely to find vendors that sell animation cels. The one I am familiar with does NOT have a website and instead sell only through conventions, and they do have Astro Boy cels from the 60s production and 80s. But I'm telling you, they are expensive, the 60s cels selling around $2000 each, and the 80s cels selling around $500 to $1500 each.
I'm sure that if you can find a large convention in Australia you might get lucky in finding venders, maybe not the same ones that I am familiar with, but someone else.
Ebay, sad to say, might be the current best bet for finding these collectibles.
Wish I could have given you a direct website for this.
