Is Flipping more Moral than Collecting?

[KingOfRulers]

So is the cocaine business...

 

It sure is!

 

With regard to cocaine, I bet it is tougher to seperate one's personal collection from the portion that was intended to be flipped. I'm not sure what the equivalent of "pressing" is in the cocaine business.

 

Depends on how strict the analogy must be.

 

You can cut the yayo, increasing your profits with the same initial product. Similar to pressing, you can increase the profit using the same initial book.

 

BUT....pressing neither adds or takes away anything. So, using that definition, it is not analogous (sp?) to cutting.

 

And there, folks, is your "street lesson" for the day.

 

The issues from pyscho boardies and how to maximize "flippage" keep rolling in:

 

"Maybe aroma therapy is the next step to further enhance a book? Can the addition of sweet and attractive scents do for comics, what the addition of nutmeg, Mrs. Dash and Adobe did for the cocaine industry? A 9.8 issue of Sin City that smells like Jessica Alba is certainly going to be more desirable than one that doesn't. It's just common sense."

Drugs, like rare truffles, are consumables.

 

But the memories can last a lifetime.

...Cut them, store them, package them, frame them, slab them, all our comics will be dust in 200 years, spiderman will be an interesting afterthought.. I will enjoy them while I can..

NO, the good ones usually don't..

Wasn't there a Ren & Stimpy scratch-and-sniff comic?

Why does KoR get all the sweet PM's?

 

Mine only come from greggy.

 

KoR dates all the hot chicks, too.

can the degree of morality be assertained based on the percentage of gain garnered in the flip? And can it be influenced or altered based on the length of time a book is held before the event of the flip? ie..collecting in terms of hours or minutes before the flip should in some term or venue be readily accountable to the degree of gained morality at the expense of the collecting.

 

As Heisenburg once said the more you know about the morality of a flip, the less you can know about the value of the collection.

 

What is the time value of money?

 

What is the time value of a permanent collection, never meant to know deaccession?

 

What is the time value of a comic book acquired with the flip in mind?

 

What is the relative measure of morality when comparing these valuations of time?

 

What would Madame Blavatsky & Bertrand Russell say to each other on this topic while hand in hand on promenade along the quay?

 

exactely my point. How can any of this be removed from time? Any valuation of a commodity be it food or a pressed flat peice of wood pulp with non random color splotches on it has to take in to account time of possesion. In every football game, over 80% of the games are won on time possesion alone. Using that analogy, holding a book for a given length of time moves the property that is the "collection" in question away from a moral compass if you will and into the truer sense of a collectible. Surely we can't imagine a virgin printing to be a collectible fresh of the press? We have to move it away from the morality of a flippable commodity by purchasing it using any form of property exchange we can garner (credit card, our children's lunch money) and into a collection.

 

I don't know about anyone else, but time is money, valuation would come from the inherent amount of property backing the loan in question.

 

Seriously, are you putting forth the notion of a "permanent" collection? No such animal exists. Paper degrades, breaks apart and turns to dust; entropy man. Nothing is permanent.

 

Time value with flip in mind? Perhaps we need another thread to talk about the back ground affects of when purchasing a "property" whether the person is knowingly thinking of selling in the near term or long term. And always, what i they have their fingers crossed while doing so? Is the intention to flip or not to flip with the outcome ultimately resulting in a flip any different? New thread I say.

if I interpret this to read: "energy cannot be created or destroyed" then I agree. Everything is ultimately consumed, altered and re-created in some manner. Some are just more fun to change.

Here we go with the old 2nd Law of Thermodynamics carp again. I suppose you'll be reducing the Theory of Evolution to pulp dust next with this bothersome drivel.

Collecting is fine unless it becomes an obsession. Like drinking or gambling it can be fun and relaxing but for some people it can be destructive.

Well, does it affect the bottom line? And we all know what the bottom line is: "can this book get a 9.8?" Put that in your "Manifesto von Tupenny Goyim".
