I'm a little pissed I didn't watch more closely and flip what the idiots couldn't afford to keep - done that on a couple MBW's

Sometimes more money in banging the preflipperss than purchasing and flipping.

^^ agreed $90 profit would even cover the sales tax if you live in CA. So in fact I could have bought one cheaper off ebay than from MBW.

I missed out on getting one of these, so I had to buy one off the bay, glad I got in for $1250.

Keep in mind that the sale price was $1250. When you factor in fees and the free shipping the seller was offering they only came out with about $90. Still cheaper to buy from MBW.

Right? I bet people make deals, hang on to people's money for days or weeks and then if they see the market increasing, they claim the print was damaged and reflip it. Bastards!

Happened to me with a Cluster print, although I got no reason, just a refund 30 days later.

Understood- but its an easy way to exceed the 1 per limit and I don't mind spending "more" when there is a great chance of another 500 bucks to follow.

I paid a couple dim wits a small premium when I bought up 5 copies of liberty- which will pay off huge in the very near future.

Those pre-flipper antics can be reversed....if the print goes down after purchase just claim it was damaged in transit..... 2 can play that game

And if you really want to torch them - notify the artist the number so it can't be returned.... :hanging: :lol:

Yeah but that's what insurance is for...so that would still work out for the seller.
