I bought 2 of the pinocchio prints, one to keep for myself and probably going to flip the other. Does anyone know how easy/hard it is to resell later on?
The key is to only sell via auction with a starting bid of $1 and ALWAYS misspell the title. Also set the auction to end on a major holiday like Christmas Eve at 2am.

But if you really want to kill it, set your shipping cost to something insane like $100.

My advice for post sale is NFTs as many as you can buy.

As you said the marionette is the best item, already triple in price, and just gonna climb. Im too broke for anything and need to hold a couple hundred for one of the surprise holiday releases you know is coming. The print is beautiful and the raised title in bright red looks so much better on the giclee. Looks washed out on the litho. I'll have to live in regret on this one. Gonna take a stab and say 1100 edition.

just do what everyone else does. tuck the print away. never open it. then in the future, go to the james jean facebook group and go

'hey anyone know how much this is worth? never opened so clearly its mint. id like the highest dollar amount for it thanks'

at least you're honest. most people flip and seems like the facebook route is where it works best for some reason, that and the stupid raffles. Actually saw a post from this one dumb flipper group that boasted that raffles should garner 20-30% ABOVE market rate for prints. I don't know what market they're using but seems like its the tinfoil hat one.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

I ended up cancelling my 2 orders, realized its more of a poster than anything, details are amazing though. Sounds kind of illiquid if im trying to sell it via facebook market if im just talking about JJ pieces, might regret it though. Always thought it was a no brainer to buy them as they always go up in price, basically free money but if that was the case I think people wouldn't be so hesitant to spend money in this thread or it would sell out faster for limited prints by scapling bots. Maybe I'm too early before its going to happen or it's still a niche market so they are alot harder to sell otherwise everyone would be jumping on this. Am i wrong?
