wait until they develop homeless super flippers, who need neither cardboard box nor instructions to score top flippable merch.

Or zombie living dead flippers - you can't stop them, they keep on coming

Or Hyrda flippers, tear off a limb, and two more shall take its place


Seriously, nice post - I wonder why people like Mori sell to people who are so obviously flippers tho? Or would that break some etiquette rule, or something?

I thought there was gonna be some ass kicking at WCC. They did break the line up once in front of the RH booth but there was some serious hovering going on.

Dont read so much into it. The dealers really dont give a shit who they sell to, they just want to sell what they brought. Pretty simple.

I don't think I'd start something with the Yakuza over a toy sale. I'd just be happy they we're paying for it instead of. . .

Agreed in principle. But Mori isn't just a dealer, he's the creator. In the pics I see he is out there at the table selling his stuff...so, naively maybe, I assume he would want it to go to collectors not bottom feeders insta-flipping it.
