and a whole three weeks old. Flipperoony Haha cheers dungle. To be perfectly honest, I completely steer clear of the whole subject, I have no opinion (that I'm prepared to discuss, as it leads to too much angst). Otherwise it just eats away at you. If you like a print and someone is selling it, buy it :-) |

I agree wholeheartedly, it does get a bit dull here though with new arrivals posting purely what they bought a month ago when they had no intention of ever keeping it. That's what ebay is for. If you want to sell on the forum at least try and have a bit of input into the forum not just see it as an ebay without fees!

Constantly moaning about "FLIPPERS" isn't input you wally...it's simply annoying and makes you laugh look jealous and like you enjoy blocking deals!
I've been collecting for 15 yours and never once sold a single piece I've bought but it does get to a point where you either buy something and never get round to framing it or simply don't like it once you've lived with it! For me, I've simply grown out of prints and only collect original works but as I've been in the game so long I still keep my ear to the ground with available work and get offered a great deal of stuff all of the time!
Now I have kids I too wish to sell bits I just have lying around...be it old work or a print that is a week old!
And yes, where possible I would like to make a turn on my original investment! What's wrong with that?
Am I now expected to sell an old banksy print I bought for ยฃ50, back in the day, for the same price now? No!
If the work is worth having and you like it and others like it then it will always demand a premium, simple!
This thread clearly states FOR SALE therefore if you aren't intetested in purchasing anything then why do you feel the need to ruin someone else's sale? There are plenty of other threads to talk on and moan all you like!
Having more than 1 star next to your name doesn't give you the right to run around policing the art world!

I think the point you are both ignoring is that with very popular prints a lot of people who want to buy at source are unable to do so because of flippers. I assume you attended the Whatson show to purchase the print and if you queued like everybody else to secure a print I accept it is yours to do what you want with. Online releases like the recent POW Invader release are being hijacked by people who really have no interest in the art and only see it as away to make a quick buck. This forum does not welcome these people.

I've missed out on more prints than I can count but in my experience usually the people who are, as you say, "flippers" are doing so to fund another piece that would otherwise be unaffordable.
I take your general point onboard but as you said someone has queued for this print and is then entitled to make money selling it purely because of the time taken in obtaining it BUT still there are star members feeling the need to join this thread and call out the person who is selling!
If they have a problem with buying and selling art then surely they are in the wrong game!!

I would have to agree with your last comment regarding buying and selling art. Trouble is on the forum you are immediately called a flipper if you try to sell straight after release. If you leave it for a couple of months or so and then sell you fly pretty much undetected. Right or wrong?

Have you actually read what I just wrote or have you just skimmed it picked out the points that support your jealous idealism?
Clearly I am trying to sell stuff now AFTER 15 YEARS OF COLLECTING AND NOW HAVING KIDS!

What's wrong with that? Am I now expected to sell an old banksy print I bought for ยฃ50, back in the day, for the same price now? No! If the work is worth having and you like it and others like it then it will always demand a premium, simple! This thread clearly states FOR SALE therefore if you aren't intetested in purchasing anything then why do you feel the need to ruin someone else's sale? There are plenty of other threads to talk on and moan all you like! Having more than 1 star next to your name doesn't give you the right to run around policing the art world! You say you have never sold any art work yet you have for sale threads on the forum? ? Have you actually read what I just wrote or have you just skimmed it picked out the points that support your jealous idealism? Clearly I am trying to sell stuff now AFTER 15 YEARS OF COLLECTING AND NOW HAVING KIDS! |

No one cares why you're selling. The fact is, if you only come here to sell and never add anything of value to the forum, you can expect that people won't be pleased. This isn't an auction house, it's a forum that has a art for sale section - there's a big difference.

That's what ebay is for. If you want to sell on the forum at least try and have a bit of input into the forum not just see it as an ebay without fees! Constantly moaning about "FLIPPERS" isn't input you wally...it's simply annoying and makes you laugh look jealous and like you enjoy blocking deals! I've been collecting for 15 yours and never once sold a single piece I've bought but it does get to a point where you either buy something and never get round to framing it or simply don't like it once you've lived with it! For me, I've simply grown out of prints and only collect original works but as I've been in the game so long I still keep my ear to the ground with available work and get offered a great deal of stuff all of the time! Now I have kids I too wish to sell bits I just have lying around...be it old work or a print that is a week old!

Martin Whatson "Climber" Limited Edition Hand-Painted Screen, by Deleted on Nov 21, 2014 5:04:17 GMT 1, i was originally directed here by a reputable auction house to sell a fairly significant original. my first post was in the for sale thread. It was not a new painting therefore not a flip, and since, Ive been overwhelmed with the support this board brings one another. its really a great place, but the outside reputation does lean towards buyers of art.
ps - dont flip in the same year the piece has released in unless its an emergency. ebay is a better source that way

Haha, I totally agree!
The fact is...buyers, sellers, geeks or simple admirers are all here for one simple reason...we all love art!!!
Anyone "flipping" is doing so to fund a piece they really want! Yes, this is frustrating to the guy who wants the "flipped" piece but jeez, sh*t happens!! It's the internet age...therefore get savy and find a new way to get the prints you want! Queue in person, open several web pages, buy originals, get involved with the house producing the work, help out at a show, befriend the artist...ANYTHING!! All these are options...and most I have done myself!
Just plz stop moaning and trying ruin other people sale!
It just looks bitter.
We're all here for the same reason!!

I tend to agree with almost everything you say, with one exception.
I do think that when someone posts a fs thread within days of a sold out release, selling a piece at a hugely inflated price, often before the print is in hand, obviously out to turn a quick profit, when others missed out, they will and (in my opinion) should come in for some appropriate level of disdain. Those people should take their wares to eBay. It has always been thus on this forum and should continue to be so. This is, of course, just the way I personally feel about this. If I am wrong, so be it.
Your suggestions as to how to increase ones chances of securing a print are first rate. Long ago I stopped buying prints in favour of originals, with the odd exception now and then.
