v for vandal, by DYL4N on Apr 17, 2008 18:31:38 GMT 1, can i point out a different theory on collecting high value prints? While most of us buy because we first and foremost like the images, isn't a factor that drives crazy demand the fact that they're worth more than what we paid for them? I think the influence of this factor varies from person to person, but, isn't knowing that something you bought that originally costs $50 is now worth $2k part of the allure as well? Especially as you can "trade in" that bit of paper for a mortgage payment, down payment for a house, and even original...
Anyone that says any different has to be lying

just pointing out the obvious i know, but my point is that there is so much hate for flippers and resellers here...aren't we a big part of the equation?

I generally agree with what you are saying Ninja but...
Two things that make flippers different from the rest of us:
1. Flippers don't give a toss about the art, only the money
2. Flippers resell immediately

v for vandal, by Deleted on Apr 17, 2008 18:50:35 GMT 1, spirit, oh i completely agree. I'm just saying that at the end of the day it's the collectors that are creating the demand for flippers to come in and do what they do...a true symbiotic relationship

I agree that it is the collectors that create the demand but I would say it was more of a host/parasite relationship! Symbiotic relationships are beneficial to both parties.

v for vandal, by rosstierney on Apr 17, 2008 19:00:33 GMT 1, why? this flipper topic is boring & infinite. every f**king release. don't any of you get sick of reading/writing the same s**t? you're all like:
collecting art is an expensive pastime. i don't know how well off you all are but what if you were young & had an annual salary of say £12k. would you accept you can't afford to buy the more expensive pieces you like & stick to the £50 thread or would you do whatever it takes to afford & refine your collection? at the end of the day, people who buy off the flipper are either rich & can afford to, they flip something themselves to fund that purchase or they put themselves into serious debt (which is just silly). some of you need to get your feet firmly back on the ground!
