PEZ ๐ซ๐ท Pierre-Yves Riveau โข New Release โข Art For Sale, by Flashback on Nov 10, 2017 18:35:49 GMT 1, Unfortunately this is now typical, and seems to be acceptable by the wealth of flippers operating on here. Came across the following link earlier when looking for a miss universe print online; thesilverforum.com/topic/9037-flipping-art-easy-money/Even quotes these forums on it and recommends people to grab the Invader release. So frustrating! Fortunately his Roamcouch flip won't be worth anything as much of a fan as I am of his work the secondary demand seems limited. If it's just about the investment for him, it doesn't make much sense to tell more people about buying a limited item therefore decreasing his chances.

Heโs massively overpriced those Miss Universe prints. I had the gold and struggled to sell it. Got less than a third of what he reckons. Iโve still got a silver and there is no way itโs worth 3k

I have bought quite a few prints and sold some for a profit most of which was then spent on other prints. Really dont care if that upsets you or not. Currently have a small house and the room I have to display framed pieces is utilised, other prints are currently stored in a portfolio for when I get a larger house. The miss universe is also hanging proudly in my living room and I have no intention of selling as everyone comments its the spitting image of my daughter. @oxfordwelshchap ill cry myself to sleep tonight at the lack of your future interaction I am sure you will cry yourself to sleep. A bit pathetic if you ask me, having to explain your flipping ways having been found commenting on us on the forum to your money grabbing friends elsewhere. Others will no doubt take note.
By the way you need to quote me if you want me to see your hilarious responses... its such a shame the mods have no guts to ban you though.

If you think something is too expensive dont buy it, its that simple. In a free market demand dictates price and I have paid over release price for several pieces but dont whine about it. lol such a funny little chap. I wouldn't buy from a flipper like you. You ll get abuse as long as you leech from others. Your the epitome of everything that is now wrong with this art forum. As I said earlier its such a shame the moderators can't get rid of you.

If you don't care why do you keep responding. If your so worried maybe shut up? You were dragged in as you were exposed as trying to take advantage of members of this forum, talking to your buddies about abusing and taking advantage of us by buying art meant for collectors and putting the markj and co premium on it. I will always take people like you to task. I couldn't care less what you say or think, true collectors are fed up of you...

I think it has something to do with transparency. You say some things on the silver forum that have rubbed people up the wrong way.
You just got called out on your true intentions for being here. If the other sellers were identified, they'd probably get the same treatment.

I mean, flipping the new Banksy print? Meh, I still hate it, but I could see the merit in filling in your email addy and finding out, a few weeks later, that you just bought a 10k print for $500, from an established artist that presumably doesn't need the money anymore. I own a few Banksy's and as much as I like the images, they are partly investment. I like my Nick Walker - Love Vandal way way way more than all my my Banksy prints combined.
But this? A print from an upcoming artist? Which people actually love and enjoy for what he is and what he creates? Fuck off flipping that shit within a week and leave it to the people actually loving the art.

I believe in property rights, so in a theoretical way I'm fine with people using opportunities to create value for themselves.
But morally, I mean come on. There's a fine line somewhere and I strongly believe that flipping prints from emerging artists where people actually have a strong desire to frame and hang the print is over that line.

A print from an upcoming artist? Which people actually love and enjoy for what he is and what he creates? f**koff flipping thats**t within a week and leave it to the people actually loving the art. Is it just me, or does that sound a bit hypocritical? I think that if you're gonna take the anti-flipping stance, wouldn't it make sense to be against all flipping? Or is the problem that their profit margin isn't large enough? To me it's a pretty hard question as I'm pretty much a right wing capitalist kinda guy myself. I believe in property rights, so in a theoretical way I'm fine with people using opportunities to create value for themselves. But morally, I mean come on. There's a fine line somewhere and I strongly believe that flipping prints from emerging artists where people actually have a strong desire to frame and hang the print is over that line.

PEZ ๐ซ๐ท Pierre-Yves Riveau โข New Release โข Art For Sale, by chevyav53 on Nov 11, 2017 3:27:27 GMT 1, Is this guy even flipping it for more? I thought he said at cost? Offer him cost and mark this as sold.
I too have lost out to prints I wanted. But Iโve also sold some to pay for new ones, sometimes right away as these damn releases come fast these days, so cant hate. But if the secondary market had patience it could get pieces essentially at cost as there are a lot of people trying to flip that are not able to hold onto the art too long. In summary canโt hate someone for trying to make money because if they knocked on your door asking for food because they were hungry youโd probably say F&(#( off or get a job.
