Twanj Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 How does that work if he's charging less than he bought em for? Volume? Sean I and cloud cloddie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did buy, did he pay cash or burn up some inflated house credit from sales in years past? Not everything is 1:1, though HA is likely fine with that perception being widespread 😉 Sean I, grapeape and marktom 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Balls Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 On 4/16/2024 at 10:23 AM, Sean I said: He's even got a couple of reverse flips in here! Looks like the wax discoloration in the paste-ups were more accurately shown in his CAF listing. I'd have been severely bent out of shape if I had bought a piece of art and the seller had Photoshopped it to make the discoloration not look as apparent in the listing as it is in-hand. Maybe that's the reason for the reverse flip? There's a big difference between "Toned" and "Toasty". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Balls Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Is anyone keeping track on whether these huge flips are actually selling? Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapeape Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I think it would be funny if someone has the cojones to out themselves on a piece they bought and immediately listed for a flip. I'd call a truce and offer immunity and I think LeeB would sanction that. If you have the receipts it would make it funnier. What made me think of this a memebr here about 4 years back bought a piece and instantly regretted it. He offered it lower to get rid of it. How about a piece you immediately disliked but were too stuborn to just get your money back so you put it up for sale but at a higher price out of anger (and perhaps a bit of hubris.) Or for example: You bought a page (bargain) at what you knew was a huge discount with lots of meat left and couldn't resist. Or whatever.

Xatari Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Oh man, I have definitely been tempted on a few pieces recently. I bought and was immediately offered double on two particular pieces. Each case was VERY tempting. There was a third piece that was purchased and immediately traded as a friend collected that particular genre and had something that fit my wheelhouse. In the end, it worked out for both parties. grapeape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyNameIsLegion Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 HA winner trying to recoup half their investment on a 2 page lot. I can't begrudge that, and it's not much of a premium, though it is the weaker page by far. grapeape and cloud cloddie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two pieces listed on auction for that express purpose, but instead of a flip, it may end up being more like a face plant. Terry E.

grapeape Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 This just sold on Wednesday for $4080 with juice. Now it can be yours at Comicartlive for a mere $7500.

The black at the bottom is covering a personalization from Romita Sr to me! You answered a great mystery for me. Crazy to me people worry about art personalized to someone else. I have a piece of art personalized to "Dwayne". When I bought the piece, the guy that sold it to me recommended I erase Dwayne's name if it bothered me 😂 I just take these as a part of the history of a piece.
