Dface "Suck Face" Kiss Print from LA Show Scars and Stripes, by iamzero on Sept 29, 2014 20:32:45 GMT 1, I wouldn't pay too much attention to the price of petrol in the states. I recently drove for about 3 hours in an SUV from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe and it cost $41... That about ยฃ24 in real money. I nearly fell over at the pump, I thought it was busted.

P.S just saw that EB has 8 on sale all for $800+, yet there are no net release of people who wants to actually keep them? (I am not one of them, would rather a Pop or Going Nowhere Fast)...

Yeah, I think there is a misunderstanding that 'mongoloid' means something along the lines of 'caveman' as an abstract term, when really it's a racial slur for members of certain parts of Asia.

It wasn't intended to be a racial slur just to be clear, I am actually Asian myself so that would be stupid to say, it can also be a derogatory term for someone who isn't so bright. My bad if it had caused anyone concerns or offended anybody.
Besides, Asians wouldn't buy anything at a $300+ mark up.

Like 'caveman' or 'troglodyte'
Let's all take a breath.

Dface "Suck Face" Kiss Print from LA Show Scars and Stripes, by bigboss on Sept 30, 2014 1:21:01 GMT 1, I think there are varying degrees of flippers. Group 1 - buy the print with no desire for the image, no real care for the artist; simply meant to immediately list on ebay for profit. Group 2 - buy the print because they know the artist, think it might go up in value or be worth more so they feel out the hype and buy based on that. sometimes end up keeping the print. Group 3 - likes the image, but isn't obsessed; buys the print both knowing that they're glad keeping the print since they like it, but also would be extremely willing to sell the print for $200 or so more since it isn't that great to them. Group 1 is the group that I have a problem with. The other two I don't necessarily agree with (Group 3 is mostly harmless), but I think Group 1 would be better off not existing in the print buying game.
Not that it matters but I'm definitely in Group 3... After this show ill have 6 pieces from Dface and have no intenssion to sell any of them. The simple truth is I was feeling good after a few drinks and woke up thinking "damn...I kinda over did it last night".. and here we are.
Sorry to offend guys... first time selling a piece I own. I've purchased from many flippers and was stoked to get the piece I wanted even if I over paid for it. Guess I'm the only one that's ever done that...

I just think it gives people the idea that you were trying to flip, not that no one ever buys from flippers but most people don't expect to pay a $300+ premium on pretty much the same day of release. I'd set it lower or just keep it and see how it flows, it looks alright in my opinion but definitely not one that a lot of people will be throwing 800 bucks at straight up. |

But what you're really not getting is the plain and simple; don't start a thread to sell a print that you don't even have yet! That's it. Now just give your a head a nod in agreement, apologize for causing a ruckus, and I'm sure everyone will go back to being happy |

You seem more like Group 2, based on everything you've said. Maybe Group 1, since a lot of the things you're saying sound very hard to believe; I think a person who spends years buying art and then suddenly happens upon a print they don't want would sell it to a fellow fan for cost (or cost plus $20 for hassle), especially if they love that artist and are buying what can only be originals from his show. You'd think someone that into the artist wouldn't want to apathetically profit off a fellow fan, even if he has been a flip-victim himself before.
I personally don't even know what you're doing buying prints in the first place if you're going to shows and picking up multiple originals, but that's a whole 'nother story.
This really isn't even worth talking about. Yes, we all occasionally buy from flippers and we abhor them for it, because they are literal parasites. This doesn't merit becoming a parasite yourself. We understand that flippers are profiteers out solely to make money, but when a flipper tries to pretend that he actually cares about the artist and fans? That is annoying as hell.

Dface "Suck Face" Kiss Print from LA Show Scars and Stripes, by Deleted on Sept 30, 2014 6:07:52 GMT 1, You seem more like Group 2, based on everything you've said. Maybe Group 1, since a lot of the things you're saying sound very hard to believe; I think a person who spends years buying art and then suddenly happens upon a print they don't want would sell it to a fellow fan for cost (or cost plus $20 for hassle), especially if they love that artist and are buying what can only be originals from his show. You'd think someone that into the artist wouldn't want to apathetically profit off a fellow fan, even if he has been a flip-victim himself before. I personally don't even know what you're doing buying prints in the first place if you're going to shows and picking up multiple originals, but that's a whole 'nother story. This really isn't even worth talking about. Yes, we all occasionally buy from flippers and we abhor them for it, because they are literal parasites. This doesn't merit becoming a parasite yourself. We understand that flippers are profiteers out solely to make money, but when a flipper tries to pretend that he actually cares about the artist and fans? That is annoying as hell. Don't know what to tell ya man. It's really pretty simple... Am I asking for a good amount more than I spent? Yes! But with that said... This is the price I want to separate with it... Not worth the hassle for $20... Or $100. Haven't always been able to buy originals... But now that I can it doesn't mean I'm not interested in prints. This one I'm interested in at around what I paid for it but if someone wanted to give be a few hundred dollors extra I would let it go. I'm not sure what this entitled fan attitude is all about I'm getting from everyone but it's pretty ugly. I'm pretty sure I'll have payment for this in the morning and then everyone can take a deep breath. Sorry I pissed some of you off.
That is what I believe is reflected in this thread.
This isn't me trying to be a fanboy yelling at you - I'm honestly not even a D*face fanboy at all; I like maybe 3-4 of his prints - rather this is more me pointing out logical inconsistencies in your statements.
If you have the money to afford originals, I find it hard to believe that you would make this sort of issue over a hundred dollars or so; usually, when one is in a position of great wealth (defined by the ability to go to a D*face show and purchase multiple originals), they would not care much about something like selling a print like this for cost versus selling it for maybe $200 extra. If anything, a profit like $200-300 would seem stupid and not even worth the thought of flipping, especially if it involved an artist you appreciate enough to purchase original artwork.
Basically, it is hard to not view your behavior - at least exhibited in this thread - as that of a profiteer. For all I know, you are someone who goes to an art show and spends around $10,000 on originals, and then also goes out of his way to purchase a print and attempt to resell it for a few hundred extra. That just doesn't seem like normal behavior, hence the reception to your postings.

Dface "Suck Face" Kiss Print from LA Show Scars and Stripes, by skorcher on Sept 30, 2014 9:29:52 GMT 1, I agree with dss111, if you can afford $30,000 on D*face originals, you wouldn't be wasting your time for a chum change, you said you purchased 3 items at the show and one being the print you're trying to flip, there was only 2 prints, book and a box set that was being offered, unless you paid for 2 originals, roughly $60K plus tax. Which I strongly doubt, if you're trying to hustle merely $2-300. If you are selling prints the next day after a drop for profit, you are considered a flipper.

Dface "Suck Face" Kiss Print from LA Show Scars and Stripes, by Ponyboy Curtis on Sept 30, 2014 10:05:46 GMT 1, Its the OP's print. He bought it and can do what he likes with it. Sell it for cost, sell it for a loss, sell for a profit...he can skin up with it if he wants...its his. The bitching and whining on here is pathetic not to mention against forum rules. We've all missed drops...its part of the game. Deal with it.
Good luck with the sale OP.

Yes, it's his and can do whatever he please, you do understand many members here despises flipping activities, maybe if he would have went to EB, he would have had more gentle response

Dface "Suck Face" Kiss Print from LA Show Scars and Stripes, by Ponyboy Curtis on Sept 30, 2014 10:33:14 GMT 1, He deserves no response at all. It's a for sales thread. Opinions are not allowed. When does a "flip" become a re sale on the secondary market? Or are you only allowed to resell stuff that doesn't appreciate? You're all a bunch of massive hypocrites. This and the post count snobbery on here...you're all mad.

Dface "Suck Face" Kiss Print from LA Show Scars and Stripes, by Nick on Sept 30, 2014 12:50:49 GMT 1, I picked up 3 things at the show... only one of them being a print. This actually the first time I've ever tried to sell any piece of art I own. Not that it matters but I'm definitely in Group 3... After this show ill have 6 pieces from Dface and have no intenssion to sell any of them. The simple truth is I was feeling good after a few drinks and woke up thinking "damn...I kinda over did it ] I personally don't even know what you're doing buying prints in the first place if you're going to shows and picking up multiple originals, but that's a whole 'nother story. This really isn't even worth talking about. Yes, we all occasionally buy from flippers and we abhor them for it, because they are literal parasites. This doesn't merit becoming a parasite yourself. ย We understand that flippers are profiteers out solely to make money, but when a flipper tries to pretend that he actually cares about the artist and fans? That is annoying as hell. Fu*k me dss how are you acting so entitled! Like you own this place and can literally tear into someone again and again. I made a comment saying take this action to eBay. Leave it be at that. Making lists of what types of flippers exist. It's laughable. Labelling flippers 'literall parasites' I for one have not forgotten your own antics straight after the borondo identity release. A print I was desperate for and one you asked for ยฃ500 before you had in hand on a ยฃ200 release!!!! Pot calling the kettle black!!!
