jackholexxxx Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 And who the fuck buys records for art pieces and a physical... Download codes. I would rather purchase a record with a download code vs a CD. Due to my work schedule most of the listening I do is at work via digital files. It sucks, but I still enjoy collecting and listening at home when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackholexxxx Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 You must be the richest man on VC! Doubtful, but I am middle aged with an excellent job that allows for a lot of disposable income. I spent a shit ton on my turntable and accessories that I rarely get to use. Someday I will be retired and breaking some seals. edit: Older pic here: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/97567-post-your-record-storage-area/?p=2045152 edit 2: You can see what I am flipping here: http://www.discogs.com/seller/jackholexxxx/profile Collection here: http://www.discogs.com/user/jackholexxxx/collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickelnine59 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I always love these threads turn into "these type of flippers suck" but "these people who sell stuff for lots of money are ok," aka the what I do is ok but what others do that prevent me from getting something I want is shitty. I think the people who buy records they think are going to be valuable and keep them sealed nicely sitting on a shelf are just as bad as the person who buys it and puts it right up in ebay. Really what is the point of keeping a record sealed other to maintain value to sell later or to keep as a trophy. At least with a short term flipper someone might buy it to actually listen to it and enjoy it. I agree. This also applies to toys, amiibos, actions figures, pop funko figures, etc, they have their own ebay flipping and collector pricing.

You're so much better than everyone, aren't you? Let people do what makes them happy. It's their lives and possessions, not yours. There are way worse people than the kind of person I described in this world - put your anger towards them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 No I understood but what I posted wasn't a reply to what you posted just a general observation of record collectors and people who complain about flipping. I didn't say anything prior to my response to you, but I see what you're saying now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyFrosted Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 One time I got really drunk and put up an /20 Saint Pepsi tape up for $1999.99 thinking 'hey, someone JUST might be stupid enough to do it!' When I got a message asking if it was a joke or if I really expected that amount I didn't even respond I just took it down ashamed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It's funny how people call it flipping when they want it. If you went to goodwill, found some jazz albums, came home and realized one was worth alot and sold it...everyone would tell you what an amazing score and sell it was nickelnine59, kjkenney and mmhmm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I made a comment similar in the Daft Punk thread, but some people seem to confused as to the definition of what flipping is.Flipping is buying and then reselling something in the short term. People reselling those Red House Painter boxes before the individual reissues hit, that's flipping.Selling a record that's been OOP for a few years isn't. Assuming you are selling where the market is, that's just selling. Maybe you can call it gouging, but it's not flipping. I only bring up the semantics because it would resolve a bit of the debate in the thread about what is considered flipping and whats not. themightychew and Hairy Potter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
