Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 10, 2017 2:02:07 GMT 1, Not even to somebody that wasn't privy to your own circle? So at what point does a flip stop becoming a flip? What is the timescale? Just interested to know. Cheers As you are asking - Nothing to do with what anyone else thinks. I don't think it's right to profit from someone else's creative endeavour, at the expense of others who may not be able to afford an inflated price. I think that if a member is going to flip, they shouldn't do so here - take it to eBay.
I'll take your banksys at cost. Thanks!

Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by Amber Halo on Aug 10, 2017 6:32:02 GMT 1, I think everyone would. Whether they admit it or not.
I would not. And I would admit it if I would. That's not to say the temptation isn't there or real. I just wouldn't do it.

Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by Coach on Aug 10, 2017 8:55:22 GMT 1, I remember once selling an Eelus ATR on here for about cost, only for the buyer to then flip it here a couple of months later for many multiples over what he paid. At the time, I knew I could have sold it for more but wanted to offer it to the guy at a decent price. Now I'm mostly once bitten, twice shy, although I have since sold on here at way below market value, after I suss out that they are genuine collectors, and not out there to take advantage of my generosity ๐ In answer to the question, yes, of course. For those that have answered "No", would they really sell their prized Banksy prints at original cost to avoid the flipper stigma. I think not.
You and I must have a very different view as to what amounts to flipping, which is fine.

But.......
If you sell it at an inflated price it would be to someone who could afford it. Not at the expense of someone who couldn't.
In general there is a differene of selling a Banksy for 20K that you bought 15 years ago for 350
or offering a Conor for 600 that you bought yesterday for 220 and didn't even receive yet.
So "sell me your Banksy at cost" is not an argument. Also not very wise, since one could have bought it for 18K last year, which would be the cost then. If you were serious about following through anyway....
Personally I ask artists before I buy their work if they are cool with me reselling. Usually they are.
And most of the time my profit goes right back into buying more of their art. So there is a mutual benefit.

Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by rhianna on Aug 10, 2017 10:47:54 GMT 1, Every piece of art I have bought I have bought because I want to enjoy it. I couldn't flip even if I wanted to. I grow to attached. I once had the chance to trade some of my favourite Adam Neate street pieces for a Banksy VLH- everything was in place but I had to pull out as I just couldn't part with them. Don't get me wrong I would have loved the Banksy as well but couldn't part with my colourful Neates that bring me joy every day. They are worth next to nothing now. I was lucky enough to buy a couple of Banksys back then with my student loan because I liked them not because of what they might be worth one day. Is it all about financial gain? Why buy if you don't truly want? Perhaps tastes change over time but to buy something to sell a few weeks later.... I just don't get it.

Thank you for the kind words, my friend. Likewise.
I think I may not have been clear. When I said a flipper sells at an inflated price at the expense of others, I was referring to people who could have afforded the release price, but not the flipper's price. I'm sure there are many that could have afforded the recent Invader at release price, but not the x4 flipper price. Same with the recent Harrington.

At the end of the day my goal is to have everything on my walls (Art and Framing) paid for by sales, whether it was a flip or long term hold and sell on an uptick (recently Invader).
Is that bad?
Yes.

But, only if I didn't like the artist - I'd feel a lot of guilt if it was an artist I liked and I knew I took another fans art.
Not sure if that makes any sense.

Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by gbr1 on Aug 11, 2017 23:24:00 GMT 1, I agree with coach flipping artists creative work for profit whether for financial gain or to fund another piece of art is immoral. I wonder if the reason for some artists,banksy and dolk spring to mind not producing any more prints for real collectors enjoyment is partially due to their material being bought by greedy flippers creating a market for their work that is totally fuelled by financial gain as opposed to the pleasure of owning one of their pieces. Just a thought.

one year? anyone calling you a flipper is an arse.
one month? depends on the piece/reason.
one week? take your flippin' butt to the bay.
flipping is capitalism so i don't get incredibly irked by it - of course it sucks, but it is more or less inevitable so why get annoyed by the inevitable - but what does bother me a lot is (1) price manipulation by people on this forum using multiple accounts, (2) people asking ridiculously high prices/unwilling to negotiate for pieces they are clearly trying to sell and have no interest keeping, and (3) any flipper whose UAA account is less than six months old.

Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by Yeah Yeah Yeah Round2 on Aug 12, 2017 16:16:26 GMT 1, If it meant greatly reducing the cost of a major purchase, then yes. If was to make 100-200 profit, it's not worth the hassle.
I've got caught up in the hype a few too many times to only realise it was a bit meh when it arrived. These days, I have to see the goods in person before I buy.

the term flipping is more commonly used with real estate where people buy a house, usually renovate it, and then sell it quickly for a profit. "Flipping" is the sole purpose of buying something with the intent on reselling it for a profit:
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flip
": to buy and usually renovate (real estate) so as to quickly resell at a higher price He's flipped three houses for a substantial profit."
Buying something and selling it at a later time, for whatever the reason, is not "flipping," it's just reselling something. Buying a house, living in it for two years and deciding to sell it, for more than you paid, is not flipping.
Sometimes it would be flipping without the initial intent to buy and resell for a profit... say you bought a painting and someone else offered you double the amount a week later because they really wanted it. You didn't buy with the intent to resell but sometimes an offer is too good to pass up.
At the end of the day, if you bought something and have it in your possession then you can do whatever you want with it. You own it and you can frame it, sell it, burn it, etc.

flipping is immediate selling for a profit. If you buy a house with the intent on renovating it and then selling it a month or two later then that's flipping... buying a house and living in it for ten years before selling it is not flipping.
You buy something and quickly "FLIP" it over to another person for a profit.
Flippers buy and sell for quick short term profits. They aren't buying for long term investments.

Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by andyroo0312 on Aug 16, 2017 23:15:03 GMT 1, flipping is immediate selling for a profit. If you buy a house with the intent on renovating it and then selling it a month or two later then that's flipping... buying a house and living in it for ten years before selling it is not flipping. You buy something and quickly "FLIP" it over to another person for a profit. Flippers buy and sell for quick short term profits. They aren't buying for long term investments.

We have a few shows on the tele down here that are all about people buying a house doing it up as quick as possible for as little money as possible and then selling it as quick as possible for the most possible money. Do people see a difference between that and selling art at a profit that they have only had for a couple weeks??? just curious. |

Sure but it's completely different. Those people put labor into the houses. Don't see people updating the art!

I know this because its what my brother has been doing for 15yrs. You should see his hands they are lovely and soft. It takes patients and timing to snag prints not counting the research to find out when and where but most importantly all of the above can lead to index finger syndrome which is very painful and hard to treat unless you have a box of oxy,s and a bottle of Makers Mark Black... |

Would you flip for your all time wanted?, by wisky on Aug 17, 2017 12:15:16 GMT 1, I have never bought a piece of art that I didn't like, although I have been caught up in the hype of a release, received it and realised that I have allowed myself to be led down a dark ally......
The prints that I have bought and are in demand and increased in value are keepers! They are not for sale!
The ones that I realise that I have made a mistake, do not want and try to sell - nobody else seems to want!!!
Is flipping right? Of course it is'nt, I would of loved the recent Pejac or Invader release and they would of been on my wall right now.
I think that the artists actively encourage flipping to increase values and profitability for themselves.
The losers are you and I, the end users of art.
