Re: FLIPPING ON THIS BOARD.

ROACHSHACK138 Tue Oct 23, 2012 1:20 am

I wanted to ask, since flipping is a touchy topic, if you get a new toy to trade for an old one is it flipping?

I, personally, am not planning on doing this but I noticed someone was asking about trading the Halloween playge doc for the retail one and wanted to know where does the line blur?

Thats a trade, I get something and hold it as bait for something else. There is no monetary gain, and It might be the case that a collector might prefer the item I have than the one they have. I dont see a problem there.

Flipping is gaining monetary advantage alone.

Yeah, I was wondering cause Ive seen other people very critical about the trading and I was curious how its perceived here.

i think the sensitivity for some might be around a small drop where someone gets multiplies for potential trades

It's all about giving someone else a chance as well, as long as you keep in mind how you would feel if someone snagged the last 9 Doc's away in front of you

Well, that's my opinion at least

Does this forum have a list of great sayings? If it does this needs to make it.

I almost bought it without thinking about the fact that I can't afford it at the moment. Is $300 a good price for it? Or will I find it cheaper?

wait till you find something on the board. iirc they retailed for 125, so 300 is a little asinine..

Yeah it's really fucked up to see this when this awesome piece should've gone to a real collector who really appreciates the art of these toys and the guys behind it.

I didn't see it there, how much was he selling for?

blindboxx2334 Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:06 pm

35 bucks starting bid. check the jeremy cat thread. i guess he tried flipping the infected mfc too..

Wow, flippers suck. I want a second one to go with my GID collection (the one I bought will nest with the other LMFCs), but that is too much for me. Sad somebody lost out to a flipper.
