It basically boils down that by investing a $100, they're making back $40. A 40% ROI is nothing to scoff at. Good luck getting a rate like that letting the money sit in your savings account. Now I'm not arguing that flipping is a good thing (I bought mine to frame for the record), but for something like this, Celsius is right: it takes little to no effort to make a 40% profit. Not too shabby for about 4 min of work.

This without considering that the print has to make its way to the new owner in excellent condition. A lot of risk involved IMO and not as simple as the 4 minute investment

Is that why you're trying to sell it?

I don't think there's too much risk involved here. When's the last time you received a print from Mondo in bad condition? Unless you take it out of the tube and drymount around with it, if you're straight flipping the thing there's no more risk than buying it from Mondo to hang on your wall.
