Not someone buys it from a dealer then a year and a half later trades/sells it to another dealer and it is available for slightly more do to the market???

I feel like this thread is now just a couple of sour people ranting at clouds over art they don't (and will probably never) own. I am reluctant to play "flip thread police", but I think that cloud cloddie's recent offering probably falls under the heading of "provenance info" (hey, the New Mutants page has bounced around a bit over the past year+) rather than a "flip" of which potential buyers should be aware. I think today's offering from Sean- is more in the spirit of the thread. Some folks have expressed an idea in the past that "dealers" can't really be "flippers" because the dealer business model is to buy or acquire art for a lower price to sell for a higher price. I can go either way on that point, depending on the circumstances, including the amount of time that has expired between listings and the price mark-up. When I started this thread in 2017, I tagged it with the words "wishful thinking" and "homework". The post from Sean- shows us that a dealer won a piece on eBay a month ago and is offering it for 4X what he paid (wishful thinking?). The post from Sean- also shows us, if we weren't aware already, that Scott Hampton has been listing a lot of nifty art on eBay that has been going for fairly reasonable prices. That's the homework aspect of this thread that perhaps will help newer collectors realize that some original art asking prices are not totally reasonable, and that they should expand their horizons when trying to add pieces to their collections.

I will totally agree my last post was mostly provenance info. Not a classic flip, but I feel tangential to the overall conversation of quickly recycled art.

Popular Post Sean I Posted September 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thanks for starting this thread, Lee. There is a huge wealth of knowledge on this board, and so many entertaining and educational threads. As someone who’s only been collecting OA for less than 2 years, this Flip of the Day thread, Alex’s Pricing thread, and RBerman’s Morlock thread have been the cornerstones of my OA education journey.
