Lifeguard Not On Duty 14 Fairey Release Discussion 08/12/14

[summoner]

Flipping 1 is fine, flipping 4-5 is a dick move.

Really curious where flipping 2-3 falls into play?

Ill let you know.

Oh look its my other favorite...mr obey himself

I think I'm having a heart attack

Call 911, brother. You don't sound so good.

I'm good. I got my copy. Maybe there are some folks that see it the same way as I do. In the minority for sure but doesn't change how I see it and making an effort to make new collectors aware. Plus I live a drama free life so I guess the forum drama fills that void.

Nah, stuckeyc, you're pretty much in the silent majority. Most on EB feel that peeps buying multiples are drymounting douchebags of the highest order. No questions, no qualms... it just is what it is. As far as stocks, I have yet to see a share that's limited to one by the Corp. but when that day arrives, I'll buy 1 and see what happens. To all that scored multiples, a big drymount you from Shep and the rest of the collectors

So its not ok to buy up posters on the aftermarket? I guess I don't see anything different than buying up a few copies of movie posters, right?

Sometimes we get lucky and score a second copy, which I keep or ONLY trade for other Faireys. Maybe I'm an exception but I love anything Fairey produces honestly.

There shouldn't be any butthurt.

If someone can score multiples, props to them.

If you can't score any, maybe you should change your strategy.

If its worth it to you to pay the premium on the secondary market buy a hundred for all I care. Buying multiple copies on the initial release so you can make more per print than the artist with zero energy put into it is shitty and keeps it from people who genuinely want it. The whole philosophy of obey is to provide cheap art that everyone can afford. Of course most people reading this know sheps take on flipping, they just put their own greed above it

[gonzo303]

Flipping 1 copy or flipping 4 copies, there isn't much difference. I also see plenty of Obey prints from recent in your trades....Pot meet Kettle?

[alittle]

At zero energy, I'd say the flippers are putting in just as much as Shep is.

You can buy up as many prints on the secondary as you want. I honestly don't care and, long-term, it's a great play. That said, peeps that are setting up multiple PP accounts and scoring multiples from source can suck a big fat dick, plain & simple...
