Martin Whatson Butterfly Print, by rick523 on Oct 4, 2017 14:59:02 GMT 1, I bought my Whatson Butterfly (Purple) on ebay for $450 USD the other day. The initial price was $350 at the pop-up gallery in Santa Monica, CA and some were release about 10:00 PM EST online. I believe there are 4 different colors/variants, each an edition of 35. Glad I got one at $100 over cost.

Martin Whatson Butterfly Print, by jbelleit on Oct 4, 2017 18:40:26 GMT 1, Which...btw...if any of you were willing to spend $600, you can get the same print on the bay for about $250 less than this joker was offering.
And no...the bay listing is not me. I bought a green one and intend to put it on my wall when it is delivered and framed.

That seems like a great deal. I believe in Mexico's future and I think it will be a great exchange for the both of us. So it's a deal?? Great...just mail me the print and I'll put 850 pesos in an envelope for you!!

The issue is not the flipping. Why do you then pretend the old “ Art police “ story. At least stick to your guns

Exactly. Art police!!! It's an inoffensive, wall friendly butterfly. Most of the art police go buck nutty for this kind of thing.

It just reminds me of the most common tattoo on a women’s backside...the friendly tramp stamp.

I own a few MW and this doesn’t seem like a double your money print to flip ...behind the wall is better imo and almost same price point if you patient on the bay ...butterfly’s reminds me more of the MW love/peace/riot numbered 35 editions he did awhile back and flippers didn’t have ton luck with those either ..and for that I’m thankful ...I’ll wait out the butterfly tramp stamp till they come down

Martin Whatson Butterfly Print, by Deleted on Oct 5, 2017 17:17:07 GMT 1, Honest question: what’s the time period after release where something is no longer a flip if sold for more then cost? Tough one to answer. I think a lot depends on the buyers intent. If someone buys a print with no intention of ever hanging it and enjoying it then it's a flip to me whether it's sold in two days or two years.
On the other hand if someone buys a print, hangs it and enjoys it everyday for 2 years before selling it for whatever reason then I'd be hard pushed to label them a 'flipper'
My 2 cents
