I would rather put that money into a savings account. Then again, the buyer may be in a different income bracket then I am. If I could spend $875 to pay for a poster and shipping and still pay all my bills and be able to save a little, then maybe, but currently, no way!
I am 99 percent sure that was bid up by the guy selling it(or his friends but either way) no sane person would spend that much on that poster. Not a legit price.

I thought that too. He/she could bump up the price potentially to themselves.

It's definitely possible/likely it was bid up but lots of people that have been following this band since the early 90's are now at the age/means to spend the money for what they always wanted. $800, $1000 or $2000 is not that much for "artwork" you're going to put up in your new home/apartment.

I like how you guys just make shit up out of no where. "99 percent sure", "have no doubts", can you toss up some sort of proof other than i just got a feeling that there is shill bidding? also, can you prove that all of your "flippers" aren't donating all the money they make to charities and helping people? imo, most of you haters are living with a glass half empty attitude. i'm gonna go with a glass half full attitude and say that all your "flippers" are dropping their profits on cocaine and titty bars and aren't rigging their auctions, but i just like to think positively.
if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.
Well everyone knows im an open book! I hate sneaky caniving people, yet I bid $700 on this poster
You know the rest of the story... I like to think positive too, some peoples comments and influences here carry more wait. Unfortunately, even among our brotherhood, thinking with the glass half full is still in the minority... I can attest to that as i too have been burned.

is anyone else sickened over the amount of flipping recently? I know its always been there. but Wrigley shot this to an entirely new level. Conversely id say we've reached an all time low. so much for the 6 mnth rule. and I know we are talking about ebay in this thread, but its all over the forum too. people are offering up their first born for CRAP! at the end of the day its just CRAP, and you cant take it with you...
it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
Look at the number of bids they put in on certain items: 24, 24, 11, 19, 11 all within the past week, and a very low rating?...Also a bid retraction. :fp: :nono:
"Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit."
Even the more rare PJ posters pale in comparison of most other movie posters out there. It's scary how fast some of those artists' prints just skyrocket. For someone who really wants that print, I can see them shelling out a little more than what the market will demand. There's so many damn people that make a lot more money than I do :fp: . One day...

I may be in the minority or alone on an island but doesn't flipping product for profit exist in a free market/capitalist society? It occurs all around us, in every commodity and product of which we purchase everyday. Costs are simply driven by supply and demand. An object is only worth what another is willing to pay for it. For example, if PJ fans are willing to dish out large sums of money for merch then they are the ones in fact driving up the prices, not the seller. If no one was to bid on these items at these price levels than the seller would need to drop their asking price. To me, the people who buy at these insane levels are more guilty than the seller, no one is forcing your hand to buy anything.
Don't most people become a "flipper" at some price level? If someone was to offer you $1,000.00 for your Shuss Cracker, would you sell it? My guess is the majority of people would and therefore you are contributing to the inflated price levels of this item. I personally collect PJ merch and have never sold anything but I must admit, if I was offered ridiculous money for something I just may sell it.
Unless we want to conform to a communist society where the government intervenes by controlling goods and resources while determining prices, flippers will exist.
Free-market capitalism
Free-market capitalism refers to an economic system where prices for goods and services are set freely by the forces of supply and demand and are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without intervention by government policy. It typically entails support for highly competitive markets, private ownership of productive enterprises.
I don't want to ramble on if I already haven't, but I guess flipping doesn't bother me as it does some of you and the reason being is because I don't get involved in it, meaning I'm not willing to pay for something beyond my perception of it's value.
