Flipping level has gotten ridiculous, by Francis on Dec 13, 2007 9:28:49 GMT 1, Just look at how many of the Kelsey Brookes SGs are currently on eBay:
search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=kelsey+brookes
Keep in mind that NONE of these people (cept the Jungle Prarie listings) have their item yet and none of them purchased with the intention of keeping their print.
This is just ludicrous...do they think they'll get rich by buying up prints and reselling them right away when there are that many up there?

What you never hear about are those who have sold on ebay and then had to refund buyer due to pow cancelling orders!

Only the first couple of sellers will make money...the rest are going to be left holding the bag until they go cost or under.

Flipping level has gotten ridiculous, by Francis on Dec 13, 2007 10:26:28 GMT 1, What's going to be a real headache is that most of these flippers are going to be sending them straight to the buyer without opening the tube...what happens when the buyer opens it and there's a damaged print inside? What a logistical and communications pain in the anus.

In a perfect world we'd leave the prints we didnt like and only purchase what we did. If this was the case we'd all get what we wanted (most of the time)
Queue 100's of Banksy's on ebay to pay off that christmas debt (debt from flipping prints that didnt sell)

Flipping level has gotten ridiculous, by goodbyekitty on Dec 13, 2007 11:26:57 GMT 1, There are so many people flipping prints now that it surely isn't that logical anymore. Like all you guys have mentioned there are loads of each print up, ebay fees etc take away a lot of the 'profit'.....
What's the point?
These people are panic buying anything they see in hoping to make a few squid..... hopefully anyone who still hasn't got a print will get a bargain from these guys and grab their choice for around or under cost!

Flipping level has gotten ridiculous, by morrissey1 on Dec 13, 2007 21:11:54 GMT 1, if anyone is even considering by any of the SG prints that have so far been released, obviously ebay is not a good idea for several reasons, one being that if you stick to it, and F5 enough on the SG pages, you will see some of the prints still pop up available. Today I've seen both Gee Vauchers, one of the Aiko's, and one of the Bast Mickey's pop up....so all is not lost....avoid the bay!

Unless some go below cost on ebay. A distinct possibility for the Vaucher's and Kelsey Brooke's....

Flipping level has gotten ridiculous, by reados on Dec 16, 2007 22:49:08 GMT 1, the other thing that i find is i sometimes get sucked into thinking because they sold out sg they're are a great print and my own judgment gets clouded. You then see them on ebay going for almost cost or with a bit of luck less, its still not a bargain or a good buy if your did not want it in the first place- does that make sense??

This spells trouble for the flippers, but is great news for those of us that actually buy the art to keep

Let them lose money on the bay then ban them from any future sales. If they release a big run of Banksys do you not think the hundreds of flippers will lower the value of the flip??? hmmmmmmmm
