Yeah, but this actually showed sold at $1500. I realize that you don’t see best offer accepted.
When you see a completed BIN listing on eBay now, a green number does not necessarily mean the actual sale price. A (purposefully deceptive?) change they made a while ago. You have to use off-site tools to see what it actually sold for.
If anyone cares, Brad sent an email asking for the extra $50, which I happily sent.
Have you received shipping notice from BK yet? I'm still waiting.
No, I didn’t get an acknowledgment of the additional payment either.
Same!
Holy fuck. One of these sold for $1500 on eBay. So glad I got one from BK or I’d never be able to afford to get it on the secondary market.
On facebook, go to the "PJBay" or "Poster Parade Breakfast" groups and you'll see who's flipping the Klausen Pittsburgh APs and selling them for around $800+. Some members who have multiple copies of the AP somehow.

Well, they are private groups on FB, so if you're in the group, you're part of the flipping community of PJ fans, so probably don't care.

I can sadly say that I bought one of the Pittsburgh N1 AP from ebay after striking out direct from the artist himself. The person I got it from did have 2 available and I was able to get it for less than his asking price. Still cost me $800+ after shipping and tax. Which was less than the one went for in the PJBAY group which was almost $900 with shipping.

Quite a few of these have sold for $750+ on Ebay. Most are in the $800+ range so far. That $650 was the only auction style offering that I have seen as well. Most have sold through the BIN options.

Bought a cheap 10x30 picture frame off Amazon to put this print in. Would have loved the skateboard but this feels almost more exclusive. My lighting makes it look more yellow than it is... It would be awesome if all the skateboard artists offered a print option!

Very nice! Agreed with the print option idea I'd love to have a Baltimore print amongst a few others.

These groups will be invisible to the artists.
They may be private but not necessarily exclusive. They have to maintain a pool of willing buyers and the bigger the pool the better for sellers. The bar to get in to some isn’t high.

I agree. Certainly not exclusive. PJBay has over 18k members. Poster Parade Breakfast has over 3k members. They aren't hard to join.
If the artists aren't in the private groups, though, they won't see their stuff being flipped. And if a fan is anti-flipping, they're probably not in those groups also, for the most part.
Do you consider selling any item above retail to be flipping? To me it’s buying with the intent to immediately resell. I have no issue with people selling older items for current value on the open market. I’m in the PJBay group but hate flipping. Then again, I’ve never once sold anything on there but I’ve bought a bunch of things that went for way less than I was able to find on eBay.

I would only sell something below market value and/or at cost to someone I knew personally. If it's someone random from here, Facebook, resale sites, etc. what's stopping them from just reselling it at market rates themselves? I had that happen once and was like ok lesson learned.
To your point, though, the thing that chaps everyone's ass is if something is bought today and immediately or within a few days it's being resold at a healthy markup. That's flipping.
A related scenario is when I occasionally see a great deal posted on Lost Dogs and there's a quick "PM sent" reply from one of several notorious "collectors" and I'm like ugggggghhhh shoulda just taken that to the Bay buddy

True. The artist probably isn't going to care.
