Flipper!! Attack!!

Nice prints!!

Nice framing on the Stik

Please feel free to explain a little further Yoyosh- two of these were bought in the last year- Blek last month I know!
Have moved house recently and underestimated the cost of a few things I've wanted to do so need to sell some bits (Most of it at cost to me).
Apologies if this thread offends anyone as they think I'm 'flipping'- just trying to raise some money for flooring and plasterers- see the background to most of the pics! If I wanted to flip something I'd be on eBay though.
Thanks for sharing your opinion Yoyosh- wouldn't normally bite back- but, well, just felt like it.

Chill yoyosh... the man ain't flippin'

[iamzero]

Love the colour way on the Tasty P.

[yoyosh]

ryanoh1 sell away amigo, these are great pieces at fair prices.
sgolby This for Art For sale forum has becomes synonymous with people calling "flipper" anytime someone sells a recent piece for above cost (like your Blek for example).
I think all sellers should be welcomed here, but I seem to be in the minority of those supporting free markets and supply/demand.

I thought I heard a hint of sarcasm there... in the initial post yoyosh...

I think you are correct... all should be welcome... However, I also feel that when we as a community feel like there is something underhanded or not kosher with a sale, that we should feel free to say so without a second thought.  I think flipper's suck, and say so, you don't, and say so... we are even, yes? both within our right, yes?

My only issue is with shmuck's that tout their flips about in a way that only brings negativity to the forum. 

Peace

Absolutely S, were on the same page. but why aren't the negative Nancy's of the board angry that someone is selling the Blek for more than double it's source price so close after release? Because The Blek post didn't have as much response as the invader post? My point is...sell away...we aren't the free market police, and if someone has something to sell and another wants to buy everyone should be thrilled. If you don't want to buy, leave well enough alone!

My guess is because it is sandwiched in between a whole lot of VERY fair prices, as well as good photos, and that he/she is in possession of the print.

Probably most of all, it is because those who wanted the Blek prints were able to get them, and those that weren't didn't care all that much...

...  The volume of the mob against flippers is only ever as loud as the volume of the mob cheering the print in the first place...  Further, most of the anger aimed at flippers is for 1 of the following:

1 - Poster is a p***s who rubs peoples faces in the fact that he bought solely for profit

2 - Poster has only 1 post and it is to sell something

3 - Poster has several posts and they are only for sale posts

4 - Poster is trying to sell a print not yet in their posession

This guy is obviously not in any of the above categories...

I'm confused??? I don't buy and sell much on the forum although I do occasionally. I do however really enjoy the posts, threads and sales but I have to admit that some of the comments confuse me. Maybe I need a forum edicatte lesson. It sounds like it's NOT ok to sell a Blek for double or more shortly after its release. How about a BANKSY? I've never seen one sold here for less than 10-100 times the amount of the original sale but I don't think I've ever seen negative comments about that. How about FAILE or Nick Walker or 100 other IN DEMAND artists?? I'm all for a place that promotes selling for what is originally paid for a print, etc., but this doesn't seem to be that place 99% of the time. Just a thought

Look around, you'll see all sorts of negative comments on all sorts of sale threads... it is not flippers that people take issue with.

In my opinion it is the idea that there are people on here just to make a profit. Whereas the members who treat this forum as a community are here to learn and appreciate... sure if we end up making some scratch in the future, then it's a bonus. The anger comes from people using the community purely for financial gain.

Thanks S

[yoyosh]

Exactly. A banksy sells for 100x cost. Who cares!? If you want to buy it, go for it!

Ps I'm a forum member with a wife who will NOT let me hang the art alliance DFace print. she hates it. After standing in that damn lime for 2 hours no way I'm selling it at cost though!

Make that scratch yoyosh... no one is going to flip on you for that, I hope...

[rodgro]

Thanks for clarifying yoyosh. It's as clear as mud now as it sounds like flippers suck but they don't suck if they stand in line for two hours and "who cares if Banksy sells for 100x more" but it's not cool to sell a Blek for double. What??? I think my take away from this is that I shouldn't have asked.

[ryanoh1]

Hey Yoyosh- thanks for clearing that up. Sorry - totally missed the sarcasm- appreciate the reply though.
