Flippers Suck Donkey Balls

I'm not sure how much this has been covered of late, but I would personally like to take a stand against all of the people out there flipping prints. Yesterday's Kill Bill drop on Mondo, followed by the dozens and dozens of prints on ebay this morning has pushed me over the edge. I will personally never buy another print from anyone on ebay. Please feel free to join in my protest, although I'm sure it's all for not because are still people out there that will gladly spend $1000 the day after a print drops for $50 from someone that isn't even going to have the print in hand for 3-4 weeks. Come on flippers at least wait till you actually have the print before you start price gouging the actual fans of the artist.

Just had to vent. I f**king hate flippers with a passion and would love to figure out some way to rid this earth of all of them.

It's crazy but I think this is the first time this has been talked about.

I would propose that instead of directing your hate at flippers you petition your favorite artists to only offer open editions & timed releases.

I'm not buying it, you have been been a member for 4 or 5 years, I think you are just bored and wanted to entertain yourself, nope not falling for it, but good try to start up some personal entertainment for yourself, A+.

you know what else is bad? littering. and child abuse. and religion. and a whole bunch of other things that would ideally disappear tomorrow. But it's never going to happen regardless of how few prints you buy on ebay or how careful you are to pick up your trash or protect your kids or not believe in silly fantasies.

I commend you for taking a stand, just don't expect it to change anything or make one iota of difference in the grand scheme of things.

I sold a PS3 for $1200 when they first came out. My mother in-law made the comment that it should be illegal to do that. I thought it was funny.

Yeah, the bitterness goes away in a couple of weeks.
