Nah, and that dude ain't a buyer. He got it for free. If he sells it for $50, that's $50 free dollerds.

"Double update! The price wars continue. $500 is as low as I'll go, and I'll throw in a free Fat Bird sketch and free shipping"

Listing it for 800 then lowering it to 500 is good fun? I think the real fun is seeing the purchases come rolling in from the actual fans out there that you are cashing in on. You can sell it for whatever you want and I know most of the people here would rather pay the artist flipper prices, but dont use it as an excuse to sell for silly prices.

ps- be careful, if you drop the price again you will sound like an instaflipper we all know and (dont) love.

I would say drymounting with some loser that got a print for free and then tried to sell it for a grand is good fun.

If you want to reduce flipping and it was given as a gift, then personalize each one. But if the guy got it legit, well can't he do what he wants with it?

Mike has too much time on his hands. And so do the rest of you.

The real question I have is: MM, if someone buys, will you actually sell and do the doodle? Or will you refund them and tell them it was just a gag?

I agree but trying to sell that for a grand is still a special kind of douchey

What? His whole business and livelihood is HIMSELF. He is generating visits to his own site INSTEAD of eBay and bumping his thread up here on EB with new conversation.
