Worst Flipper Purchase , by Wearology on Feb 14, 2009 17:02:19 GMT 1, We all love art on this forum, and most of us buy it because we want to hang it on our walls, but there is a small group of individuals that buy art with the sole intention that it will sell out fast and than they can FLIP it in a short period of time for a quick profit. I have fallen prey to this temptation myself and I am currently 0 for 3 in making money on speculative purchases. Below is a list of items that in my opinion have been a FLIPPERS worst nightmare, please feel free to add to the list.
D'Face - Street Improvements 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5
Faile - Vanity
First Great Weston - All Versions
Vhils - Nothing Last Forever

Worst Flipper Purchase , by veralynn on Feb 14, 2009 20:17:20 GMT 1, I didn't intentionally buy to turn anything but I did go to to TLSG and bought 'Eject and Survive' and I'd been on the lash all day and was very, very drunk. Even by my own standards I was pissed.
I bought it, then kept it for a couple of years in the vain hope that I might be able to break even whilst accepting that I'd never 'gain'.
I recently sold it for a tenner.....

Worst Flipper Purchase , by veralynn on Feb 14, 2009 21:51:11 GMT 1, And here's the best bit - when it sold for a tenner I was, understandably, pissed off (a bit).
So I contacted the buyer who equally understandably wouldn't let me wriggle out of the deal but my real motovation was that I couldn't be arsed to get down the post office as it was freezing cold and drizzling at that time!.....

not a very smart flipper then. If you were going to do it, sometimes patience is a good thing, don't follow the sheep and do it all at the same time.
I've noticed they went up with the recent NW release and will go higher upon his US show as the pound is so shit.
FYI

Think about it, the people bought it for about ยฃ300-450 something like that and it ended up selling on ebay for about ยฃ2500 smakaroonees, a lot of profit but you definately wont get me spending that kind of money on a print unless i can make a good grand later on. Now its going for much less than ยฃ2000.
