quick question, by killerkellah on Feb 27, 2008 16:51:36 GMT 1, why do some people on here criticize so called 'flippers' and people who buy to sell, when the forum actively encourages Ebay sales with the link to Ebay acutions and now even links to Bonhams etc?
strikes me as odd thats all.

To own a piece of Art you first need to buy it From Gallery or Ebay, the forums here to help.
Why do people knock flippers? could be they don't like competition

quick question, by killerkellah on Feb 27, 2008 17:06:12 GMT 1, I agree Silky, I dont know why people knock them. Art is a commodity like any other. Im all for the forum promoting items of interest, whether it be other artists or ebay items.

quick question, by manty on Feb 27, 2008 17:10:39 GMT 1, From my side side I buy a print or an original because I want to frame it, put it on my wall, and enjoy it.
Flippers generally view the item similar to a ticket tout who want to buy that same print or an original, and sell it to me at a vastly inflated price.
I dont particularly enjoy that kind of competition
If I want to see a band play i'd much rather pay face value than pay a tout their prices
Anyhow, I dont know why i bothered to reply, it is what it is, basic supply and demand :-)
Enjoy

quick question, by killerkellah on Feb 27, 2008 17:15:07 GMT 1, nicely put Manty and Im with you. Unfortunately the way the market it, people will always buy to sell and with ebay an easily available art market is only a few button taps away.

Yep! it aint ideal, but its just the way the world is People buy houses as investments, and when you get Banksy pieces going for more than the price of a house its bound to get some peoples attention.

I think the best prints are those that are on really thick paper so you can make giant paper planes out of them and try to hanglide out the bathroom window.

How about this, we get all our prints drymounted on some nice thick card and play a game of giant snap.
