Swamped you ate one if those t**ts! And no I have never bought a print that I didn't like to flip and make money... I have bought a print like Aft1ca and changed my mind but sold it on this forum for the original sale price... It's what an art lover and real collector does .
Try it sometime you may get a better feeling than making £100

You must be kidding right? If you have never sold a print for a profit than you probably have a rather small collection and are new to this, otherwise it just makes sense sometimes when you have a chance to make extra money to get more art. Or are you a trust fund baby and money is not a concern? Get a few hundred prints under your belt and then get on your soap box, doing someone a favor and letting a hot print go for cost is all well and good, but again sometimes you need to crreate captiol to work with, its business, supply and demand, and just simply reality my friend..

As if you scored a new Banksy print then had something in life come up, you would let it go at original.cost and not 5 times that amount? Take a hard look in the mirror before you awnser that, you might have a change of opinion if you are being honest with yourself there..

I'm guessing Einstien is differentiating buying a print with the intention of holding onto it vs the intention of buying purposely to sell it on for a profit.

Being forced to sell something later due to necessity is different from flipping.

Yes but its still tomato,tamato it is really the same in the end. I hate it when I don't get a print I really would like and then see people flipping then an hour later on eb ay just as much as anyone dose, but I also understand it and don't hold it against them for doing it. Can you really fault somebody for putting up the money, getting lucky enough to get one and then making a few days or even a weeks worth of wages in a few hours? Yes it sucks and pisses us all off but again can't blame people for doing it to get ahead..just my opinion, we all know this is an expensive habit we all have!

So you endorse ticket touting too then swamped?

[payney]

wow your all a bunch of whining idiots, go get yourself's laid or something.

[swamped]

Ticket touting? If that is the same as ticket scalping again of course I don't endorse any of this but its just the way it is. The fact that so many people on hear get upset with flippers is crazy, I don't love em or hate em its just life. If you can take $100 and turn it into $200 in a few minutes then I say more power to you as long as no one got hurt along the way. And some one paying more than cost for something is not hurting anyone, they are making the choice to pay the premium to satisfy there own personal wants, honestly there is no art anyone has to have, its a choice, or a ticket for that matter..the emotion people have over this topic is just baffeling.

Wow, you're all a bunch of whining idiots, go get yourselves laid or something.

I loathe poor grammar. 

Ironic how the biggest flippers are the most vocal that their behavior is morally justified......

What he said +1

[Icesay]

I like this thread.....some varied opinions and it does make me consider a lot of different opinions. I think we should have a sold at cost thread or maybe the prints for sale heading should be amended. Personally think we should have a swaps thread....I have this and I want that....no money involved. Money seems to f##I up the whole equation. Am enjoying the mass debate. Freedom of speech is very enjoyable isn't it!?

[Icesay]

Does it? @ Ling.....so how do we move past it then? Any suggestions? I think print lotteries are the only way...I've won some and lost some.

[ghoost]

Ok, looks like I'm going to get refunded. So should I just go for this or wait it out? I'm lost....

When is he going to let us know if we are in good hands or not...

[ghoost]

Could someone chime in on whether all the refunds have been done and over with? Otherwise, I'm going to jump on that..

Haha, that makes it sound like I got more excited about a print arriving than perhaps I should ;-)

Bit of a boring '' its valentines day lets rinse em out'' kind of feeling to this one, its so weak its un true.

[Snakes]

[sohohoho]

Lovely paper but Nick needs to find a new printer. Image quality is poor. Looks more like a giclee.
