flipper alert

Post by byrnexxx »

this amuses me. This person bought a Savage Giant 2 print this week for $68 and now has the SAME print listed for 2x the price starting bid with BIN for 4x the starting price. $225 for Savage Giant 2 - seriously?

Item number: 330075064998

also note the negative feedback!

This is the seller:

http://myworld.ebay.com/bostonlongstroke/

Looks like he lowered his prices, though.

Why are you so concerned with my intentions? I don't need ebay to see if I know somebody. My mind is a steel trap. Carry on.

Is this the seller's cute attempt to mask keyword spamming?


"This an OBEY print. This print was not produced by any other artist. The artists that did not produce this print can not be listed here. Atleast, not in the form of a "keyword list". Banksy produces similar work, but not this piece. D*FACE also produces similar work, but it was not fabricated by that artist either. Although both great artists that create stunning work, this is not 1 of theirs. Kinsey, now there's someone who's work is very similar. Actually, they had worked together in the past. But, have since parted ways to have individual art studios. This piece was not done by him, either. This was created after the period in which they worked together. It's not a Faile print either. Faile is a collective of artists with a distinct theme. Nor is it a Micallef. His prints, for the most part, are more black&white(greyscale). But it is, however, an OBEY original."

Its kind of like that show Dinosaurs from back in the day. I can hear that show being pitched to the network: "So, we are going to have a sitcom about a black family, only we are going to make em' dinosaurs so we can be as racist as we want!".

"bostonlongstroke". Dude got 1 negative. Never seen anything like it before.

"good communication but no payment!! Seller: mak600 ( 340 [Feedback score is 100 to 499] ) Dec-18-07 12:30
-- (#220163162579)"
