He says "nearest to cost", meaning somewhere below but as close to.

If anybody wants to know the real reason, it was a spur of the momment purchase and i could use the money for something i really want. The other reason is that i thought it would be an instant sell out and would regret it if i didn't purchase it, especially if the values went up later on, still regret it, if that makes sense !

What you mean is it was a case of "when flipping goes bad", since it didn't sell out instantly, meaning you're stuck with it and won't be able to flog it on for a tidy proft as hoped. Oops!

FS: EVOL: There Goes The Neighbourhood, by love on Dec 2, 2011 18:12:59 GMT 1, Hehe, we all started this way... These are the costs of a young flipper.
One advice,... only flip the big artists like Banksy, Invader, Kaws. Start with this 3, everything they produce, will sell out in seconds and will be worth more than you invested
After that you'll need a good story, my favorites are credit card, girlfriend, house movement, full wall or full sleeves... if you're in a hurry just call yourself insane, but at all costs REGRET it, to your favorite print go. Repeat that 2 times, people love to hear that.
If you came that far, wait... the buyers are out there, at least drop it on eBay. Every day sees a new idiot.
Use this help and you can build up a unbelievable bankroll to flip more art.
But never, i'll repeat never buy Newcomers!
Fare thee well

May not be the best road to go down as they may blackball you from future purchases (doubtful) but you never know.
Good luck on the next one

Thanks for that. What's funny is - i am in the middle of a house move, credit card bill from buying art, even on the wife's card! definantly no wall space, everything either in rolls or flat stored, and... i am INSANE!
I guess it boils down to experience, its steep learning curve and i appriciate and learn more about art alonng the way. Im pretty much happy with most things i've bought, i admire art, i dont just buy to flip, i have never sold anything from my collection so far as i have not been desperate for the money and have managed to not get in debt from buying art. I suppose the time will come where i will want to sell off everything but 3 or 4 pieces i really love and want to get framed and hung, and maybe put the money from the sales towards 1 new piece.
I see why the more experienced members are staying well clear of some releases.
Thanks for the advice, i really do appriciate it -

FS: EVOL: There Goes The Neighbourhood, by Neate Michael on Dec 6, 2011 13:27:56 GMT 1, I'm sorry but IF there is a scene, this chap James, is everything that is wrong about it. He bought a piece of art he does not even like, hoping to make a quick buck when it sold out instantly.
And he would like to buy Invader (fliappable) and Frames book release cover (flippable if by the right artist).
Unbelievable.
The best advice I ever got was from Paul at Elms Lester. He said, don't buy art because you want to make money, but it because you like it and it want it on your walls.
Good advice.
Now, does anybody want to buy my Tilt? Only ยฃ700 ; )

I thitnk the fact that you are openly stating that you are or were intending to Flip work , which generally is seen as bad practice as it stops someone from getting this print on there wall for cost, Not to say your the only one doing it. It happens everyday, and this "scene" is certainly influenced by hype and greed, which is a shame,
I can honestly say i have never flipped a print, I only buy what i like and eventually i will hopefully frame all the pieces i have up, If i eventually stop buying pieces and put money towards framing,
Where there is money to be made there will be flipping fact, its a way of life, Its how much you let it worry you that is the issue
Arts a Luxury in my eyes so what ever you have Id be happy with and wouldnt worry about keeping up with the Jones's with the latest must have New Flip/Art

Hi James,
I was not aiming my post at you on anyone in particular, Its just the way i see it, I also like the idea of owning art that you can see a rise in price, its good to know that you could potentially sell on for a bit of a profit if you need to that is.. Rather buy art than put it in the bank thats for sure. Id certainly sell art for a profit if that was its current value, as i think most would,

Honestly James, I admire your honesty, but clearly you are on here to make a quick buck.... And what I find unbelievable is your naked honesty. You already have your eye on your next flip.
I know my view is niaive, it is probably my age, but I just find it wrong that people buy anything such as art or concert tickets, with the intention of selling it on to genuine fans, and making a profit from them.
But it is the way of the world, and nothing I could say would change it...
