Invader RVE Repetition Variation Evolution Print, by ullke🍾 on Jul 19, 2017 14:21:21 GMT 1, In Norway a frame like that with UVAR glass and double mat will cost you 4-5000 NOK. I guess Norway is more expensive than most other countries, as we usually are.

Invader RVE Repetition Variation Evolution Print, by newgreg on Jul 19, 2017 17:09:53 GMT 1, I did mine similar only white frame and a bit thicker on the black mat. Opted out of glass due to the size and my fear of breaking it... figured it's black and white so UV plexi shouldn't be too bad.
Framer had 2-3 others already in queue, glad to see these going on walls and not on eBay!

Invader RVE Repetition Variation Evolution Print, by spirit on Jul 20, 2017 13:46:58 GMT 1, I think whether the justification is stupid or otherwise is hard to quantify without knowing all the details. Out of respect to the artist and the board, I felt the need to justify my decision to sell. However, I would like to add the caveat that no-one needs to buy this print. It's not essential to life. Anyone who will consider buying it is in a very fortunate position, for which they, and I, am no doubt grateful.
However, if you want to respect the artist and the board, the best place to flip the print is eBay.
There is nothing legally or morally wrong with flipping. Everyone needs to make a buck. But flippers deprive collectors from scoring prints at cost price. This makes collectors negatively disposed towards flippers and therefore an art collectors forum is not a good place to flip prints and trying to do so shows an inherent lack of respect to the board and its members.

The flip side (no pun intended) is that people who are lucky enough to score drops can offer lower prices to forum members than they might pay on eBay. You're never going to get rid of people trying to buy these things merely for their potential profit margin, so isn't it better to get them at lower cost than having to outbid someone on eBay? Just food for thought. Not speaking about this thread in particular, but more about flipping in general.
I'll also add that there must be some calculus toward what is considered flipping and what's not. It has to do with the initial cost of the print, the popularity of the print/artist, the asking price and the time since the drop. It is fancy math, as everything I've bought from other UAA members is essentially a flip but has met one of the aforementioned criteria and was thus not considered flipping.
Just my naive two cents.

I don't blame you frankly. It's the suckers out there who created the demand. Yeah, go ahead. Rip them off dry...

Get over yourself, dude. If you play this game, you know that a certain amount of the people going for the prints are going to flip - especially if the print is commanding 5x the original price after release. If I knew I could double my life savings by getting a print off the drop, I would fork over every penny. It's fair game and if anything, it gives people on here a shot to grab before going to the masses on eBay. Best of luck with the sale, OP. Fair game. |

Agree to disagree. Besides, saving eBay fees works for the buyer as well, perhaps not in this case, but in general.
One other potential benefit for the community is that many people here sell in order to further their collections in some other way. In that case, the money spent on the forum is more likely to stay within the forum community. Money spent on eBay is more likely to go to people who are professional flippers and buy them better internet speed or more computers for the next release.
I also think there's a false divide between when something is being flipped and something is being sold because of life expenses or a desire to change the prints in one's flat file or on one's walls. Where that line sits is very arbitrary and up to individual interpretation, much like one's taste in art (Bast is lame! Bast is awesome!)
When does reselling become not flipping? Three months? Six months? A year?

Haven't got a horse in this race but just on this point: it becomes 'flipping' when it was bought with the sole intention of turning a profit, with no desire to hang it on the wall, in my opinion.
Timeframe therefore doesn't factor into determining whether someone is a flipper, but a short timeframe (from purchase to sale) will certainly leave a bad taste in some people's mouths.
Best of luck with the sale, regardless of the reason for it.
And yes, I prefer this to 'my friend doesn't know how to register an account for a forum, but has bot-like agility in navigating a Shopify checkout'. 🙄

But you also need to understand that this is a collectors forum for people who are into the actual art and don't just see releases as a quick way to multiply their money. By profiting from other peoples love of art, flippers parasitic behaviour harms collectors by making art more expensive, so don't be surprised if you get a negative reaction from them. The idea that flippers are doing collectors a favour by offering stuff here first is pure hogwash. They are just trying to avoid the ebay fees. Agree to disagree. Besides, saving eBay fees works for the buyer as well, perhaps not in this case, but in general. One other potential benefit for the community is that many people here sell in order to further their collections in some other way. In that case, the money spent on the forum is more likely to stay within the forum community. Money spent on eBay is more likely to go to people who are professional flippers and buy them better internet speed or more computers for the next release. I also think there's a false divide between when something is being flipped and something is being sold because of life expenses or a desire to change the prints in one's flat file or on one's walls. Where that line sits is very arbitrary and up to individual interpretation, much like one's taste in art (Bast is lame! Bast is awesome!) When does reselling become not flipping? Three months? Six months? A year? And you dont think that this place doesnt have professional flippers ! Mibbe not been here long enough if this has been your only username. |

Of course I'm not that naive. Just think money spent on the forum is more likely to stay in the forum than money spent on eBay. And both buyer and seller avoid fees.
And if the definition is stuff that you had no intention of putting on the wall, I've been fortunate enough to buy plenty of stuff on this forum that was "never framed, stored flat for years. Not sure what the intention there was, but I'll do the same with some of my stuff because I like to collect and enjoy flipping through my book. It's not because I'm a flipper.

Today he supposedly "can't afford" not to sell it. I think the evidence speaks for itself.
