Who else here has a mammoth bog or velvet star crusher they would sell me for less than he would? Cause so far what I've been offered is close to what he is charging so I don't really care where they come from or if I'm supporting a "flipper" or not. He has what I want and if he makes some money on the side well thats not my business. I just want the toys I want and that's that.

Sorry bud I don't know what communist state you think your living in where people can't make a profit off of something . Its called supply and demand. No one ever got anything or anywhere by sitting on their ass. Its called work. He obviously put in time and energy and money to get those. Now if your one of the people who sold him your toys for less and he's selling them for more, I understand your frustration. Its definitely warranted, But if not, get over it. The artists got what they wanted out of the original releases. Its not like someone worked on an album put time and money into it and he took it without permission and gave it away. He bought them and he can sell them to whoever as he owns them. No one else on here has offered me those two bogs for less than 180 which is close to what he lists them as. I'm not gonna call anyone out but I did get a lot of high offers on those two specifically. So this board isn't doing much better when it comes to morals and ethics..

What, you thought you would get low offers after putting up the sludge dx for $600? :roll:

I actually got some pretty good offers for it on eBay and on here, but again. I traded it for a bog zeroth to a boardie on here like I asked for in my original trade request. So your argument is dumb. I could have easily sold it on eBay and used all the money to buy all the bogs from opplol but I didnt. So yeah. I've attoned for my mistake. And more than made up for it. Regardless of that you still seem to wanna I FART A LOT about it. This is going overboard. Seriously grow up and quit complaining about shit that doesn't matter. Lets get back to the toys and quit all this childish arguing

Personally, if I was an artist who made this shit and someone bought it at what I felt it was worth and then someone else wanted it more they'd pay more for it. Id be flattered that my work is worth more than I thought it was..

But you aren't an artist, and many have spoken their opinion about how they don't like flippers. You're basically saying buy my toy, not because you like it, but because you see the inherent value in it. You're using the artist for their talent and hard work, not because you're a fan, but because you see a profit.

Please leave Skinners toy alone and let the true fans appreciate it and continue meaningful toy related talks.

Um your statement would be true except I didn't flip anything I TRADED for something i really wanted and asked for, I dont know how many times I have to repeat this. So no offense but seriously quit with the flipping bullshit and me making a profit off of anything. And ill continue to support the artists that I like regardless of what anyone thinks. But thank you for your opinion.

I never said you were a flipper in the post above. I was commenting on what you said about an artist being flattered about having their toys being flipped.

We get that you traded the DX, no need to be repetitive.

At this point. It's pretty sad and pathetic.

David was actually the one person on this board, mind you, who I felt supported you or at least initially understood you and basically said that we all make mistakes.

You basically tried to flip a toy instantly, regretted it and apologized and said you'd make it right, then relisted out of some weird spite because you wanted a steak dinner.

Yeah you flipped something.The smart thing to do is to stop backpeddling TAKE A BREAK from posting for awhile like multiple people said and let the storm run it's course.

Look dude I'm done arguing this point. I've backed off of rich's pieces forever as a personal decision but I'm not going to back off of other artists threads that i really do care about and personally am working on collecting. Especially because of other peoples problems. So how bout you guys all just drop it so we can move on. And also for the record instead of steak, I made manicotti and lobster on my own dime not from flipping toys. And I was damn good. Lol.

The only thing that would lighten the mood is if you just stopped posting

Put in the time and effort to paint a run of toys and see how flattering it is to find some assjack trying to insta-flip your work.

Better yet, just go away.

Personal decision ? More like banned...

Its like the guy that gets fired, then says he quit.

I rather quit making toys than have collectors like you.

And please stop collecting my friends toys as well, I'm pretty sure they don't like it much also. Your giveing the Bog a dragging through the mud now as well and that sucks.

And don't PM me agin, I'm not gonna reply.

The epitome of the gimme-gimme-now-now collectors.

Today a Bog, tomorrow MVH. Before you know it, little johnny here is trying to sell NNNs with two hour eye work on them at thousands, just to fund his own fight for the cure and a steak or two.

Ding Ding!

No interest in the history, community, craft or even the 'thrill-of-the-chase' . . . instant gratification and a fast turnaround seems to be the mantra of the new 'collectors'.

Oddly enough (or maybe not that oddly) mostly fuelled by American Idols.

Fortunately most don't stick around for very long!
