So a low 20's offer wasn't enough? A 30% profit?? 🤣🤣

“It’s still warm”. Hurry up and flip it before the credit card payment request knocks at your door in less than a month!

Lol

Here to see how this flip goes. Given the current down market, it's a good opportunity to see how this canary does in the coalmine.
As you were, and you're welcome for the free bump.

Only a 210% markup like a week after release. Try harder.

[LJCal]

Not the market for this type of shenanigans, don't be surprised if the offers you've had soon evaporate. Assuming they're genuine, I'm sure they didn't anticipate they'd end up being used in an online auction. Had this happen to me a few times lately and a massive turn off.

I'm still a Rebel without a KAWS......

Got a free book from Phaidon by accident last week though.....



Never mind. Carry on.

[Acme Thunderer]

Sorry to say, but you were mugged off at the release price.

This 10” piece (which looks like it’s knob snapped off) was overpriced at $14k in the current market.

These were sitting in Shreeji News London for anyone to walk in buy a couple of weeks ago.

Never thought the day would arrive that you could walk in a buy a wooden Kaws limited edition off the shelf but here we are. Sign of where his market has fallen to these days.

Combine the above with fact this is easily his least desirable wooden edition to date means that there is very little meat left on the bone for a quick flip.

Good luck and here’s a free bump - you will need it.

I offer $20. It’s Made in China at the end of the day…

I knew the Kaws police would be out in full force but you all have really outdone yourself here! I do appreciate the experts taking time out of their day for their expert opinions.

Regarding the ‘auction,’ the previous offers were made proactively prior to me posting this. I replied saying I wouldn’t accept that price and gave my min price - no auction games.

Also I’ve bought and sold probably close to 20 or so items on here over the last few years. Everyone has gone seamlessly and would not indulge in ‘auction’ games.

Sure but then why disclose them, other than to get a higher bid? Sounds like an auction. Personally I think you should have taken them.

If they ever actually existed..

Not in the market. But am curious since you have it in hand. What is the fella holding? A hotdog?

Small lie one...

[Londown 01]

More general question, maybe some of you can help out: Is there a specific thread dedicated to flipping, or is there some academic paper or something on it? I'm not a friend, but I find the phenomenon fascinating.


And 30k for this is quite entertaining. Oh well

This thread about flipping was started 16 years ago and not a lot has changed.

Virtually everyone on the forum will buy and sell, but it’s how you go about it…

The problem with this person is that they bought something really expensive with the sole intention of immediately reselling for a stupid price. They were open about it on UAA (another mistake) without realising that it will be really difficult to sell for as much profit (if any) as they expected.

As no one really wanted this piece in the first place, I expect people are not that fussed, but the unwritten rule on UAA is that blatant flippers will get called out as we have all lost out on buying something we wanted to people who only want to flip.

Yeah I thought it was either a cock, cigar, or crack pipe but hey I'm a deviant. To be honest I'd prefer it it was either of those.

Except for that small lie piece - the fella never had a nose. Least he could do is to have a broken half still on his face.
So what does it mean?
He’s a fraud and he “nose” it?

[rbt]

Would’ve made more sense if it was a KAWS Pinocchio holding his nose.

[┏( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)┛ EnS]

I thought it was a carrot?
