STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY, by cerulean on Oct 24, 2014 3:12:08 GMT 1,
I decided to start a new thread rather than add to the recent one debating the practice of flipping in the hopes of shifting the focus away from the negativity and towards celebrating and strengthening our bonds as a community.
Recently, I was very much hoping to purchase the Faile NYC wood sleeved book until I learned of the drop time. I had an appointment that I couldnโt cancel and mentioned on a thread the hope for a PB (or in this case a BB). I figured it was highly unlikely given Iโm a relatively new member and the few Iโve met would likely be trying to purchase the piece themselves.
Later that evening, I received a message from a member who had purchased one with the sole intention of helping out another member. I was the fortunate recipient of that act of generosity. It absolutely made my day.
We can bemoan the flippers or we can focus our energy on the spirit of community. Iโm sure there are many established members who have been helping each other out hence the term PB was born. Iโm writing this more in the hopes of inspiring newer members and perhaps those who have sat on the sidelines. The best way to thwart the practice of flipping is by taking care of each other.
Each time we help another member out during a release, thatโs one less print that gets flipped!

The forum has a bunch of really great members. It is unfortunate that this is sometimes overshadowed by threads that thrive on the negative.

Congrats on the act of kindness!!

STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY, by sgolby on Oct 24, 2014 4:43:44 GMT 1, Hear hear!!! Great idea for a thread cerulean. The community is what we make it. We can either allow those who want to feed off negativity to run the joint or we can be better than them. It saddens me that so many lingstanding members have been turned off by this new crop of profiteers... Let's show them there is also a new crop of musketeers... I know that was corny... But hey so it goes!

I say bullshit.
It's a place we choose to chat about art. This whole reselling shit/or charity shit is annoying.
Oh yeah, and Banksy Fuck You!

I've not been on the forum long and doubt anyone knows me well enough to want to help me, but I've never sold any art let alone flipped anything. That said not sure how a helpful forumer could validate that

STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY, by fairplay1974 on Oct 24, 2014 9:17:30 GMT 1, Can we not just get over the whole 'flippers' thing.... It happens, it will always happen, b*tching about it on and on and throwing little tantrums every time you see the print you missed out on release get sold for a profit isn't going to make it go away!
I collect art, I've met some great members on here face to face, dealt with many buying, selling and trading. Most of the art I buy has been secondary, far exceeding the release price at current 'market rate'. I've sold pieces duriong my time at a loss, at price I paid and made profit. I've been lucky enough to get a couple of pieces on release, but literally a couple.... Recently I decided to sale one of those failry quickly after release (for my own reasons) and actually took the decision to make a profit on it, because do you know what, I have bills to pay, a life to lead and I'm yet to win the Euro Millions! Rather than coming on here and selling to a forum member to avoid the inevitable fall out I just took it to eBay, I didn't price it extortionately and after fees/shipping actually made a very small profit... It actually sold to a decent member on here anyway funnily enough, who was happy with the price and the fact that I had decided to sale something I own quickly after release for a profit whilst being reasonable.
I feel I've also contributed to the forum.... I've helped members out on releases before and trades, given some freebies away as well and done my bit for charity. Forum members cannot be simply packaged, people cannot be simply packaged., but I agree with one thing whole heartedly that this thread looks to accomplish. Focus on the positive, it's your choice how you react to any given situation and negging out over it is annoying you far more than anyone you're aiming the negativity at!

So would advise people not to be so desperate for pieces and create the feeding frenzy Yes you will miss pieces but there will be more...save up buy an original much better long term Plus no framing costs!!

We love to meet up and talk about "those 4 star and under scum" while sipping fine champagne and wiping our asses with unsigned prints. There's no talk of "flipping" amongst 5 members.
Then there's the 6 star class. They wipe their asses with signed prints and only speak of OG's, or so I hear
7 Star? Gold only knows. It's like a secret society.
You'll be there someday, and when you do, you'll never have to hear the word "flipper" again
Anyway to block members by star class? Just wipe out the 1-4 members so I can ignore them?

Not sure that this post is really in the spirit of the thread. if it's supposed to refer to my comments on originals how wrong you are. You can buy an original for lots less than a flipped print. Yes a different artist but at least your money is spent on an original and not given to a flipper and a framer. Just seems a pointless waste to me when lots of good originals available on here direct from the artist....and there are plenty of them.
Ps I have shed loads of prints so was just trying to pass advice on to save people wasting their money new collectors tend to waste more I know I did. Sorry if I upset you but also note zi am not talking down nor have I ever talked down unsigned prints etc or people's ability to afford pieces.
odd that you make this post ......

We love to meet up and talk about "those 4 star and under scum" while sipping fine champagne and wiping our asses with unsigned prints. There's no talk of "flipping" amongst 5 members. Then there's the 6 star class. They wipe their asses with signed prints and only speak of OG's, or so I hear 7 Star? Gold only knows. It's like a secret society. You'll be there someday, and when you do, you'll never have to hear the word "flipper" again Anyway to block members by star class?ย Just wipe out the 1-4 members so I can ignore them? Not sure that this post is really in the spirit of the thread. if it's supposed to refer to my comments on originals how wrong you are. You can buy an original for lots less than a flipped print. Yes a different artist but at least your money is spent on an original and not given to a flipper and a framer. Just seems a pointless waste to me when lots of good originals available on here direct from the artist....and there are plenty of them.ย Ps I have shed loads of prints so was just trying to pass advice on to save people wasting their money new collectors tend to waste more I know I did. Sorry if I upset you but also note zi am not talking down nor have I ever talked down unsigned prints etc or people's ability to afford pieces. odd that you make this post ......
Fed kicking off again?! Tut tut!! ;-)

STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITY, by bonesy on Oct 24, 2014 13:25:49 GMT 1, Strengthen the community? I think the answer is easy. If you own even one Mondo Movie Poster go back home to Expressobeans. Done.
