Who cares about any of this? At least you guys are pretty good writers, thats the only thing that held my interest.
This holier than thou attitude is a real downer. give Dirtyd a break, at least he is man enough to own up. complete lack of integrity? give me a break.
I have an Obama paster I'm willing to sell. Anyone want to fork over some cash? no low ball offers as i am only willing to take the highest of the high amounts. And don't worry, i won't be contributing any of the money to his already wasteful and overly wealthy campaign.
I'm only half kidding.

"This holier than thou attitude is a real downer." It's not about being holier than thou. It's about all the complaining about the honesty of e-bay sellers and then being a lying seller yourself. If my not lying on e-bay makes me holier than thou than thats your call not mine. My point was the absurdity of it all not the actual deceit.
You say, "This holier than thou attitude is a real downer." I say, the hypocrisy and lying on e-bay is a real downer. I guess our priorities are different.
honesty is great. integrity is great. its a personal thing though. you can not control any one else. he has announced his poor decision making publicly, which he did not have to do, and obviously based on the chastising he is receiving would have been better off not doing.
While i do not agree with his original decision, i applaud him for having the balls to admit it publicly on a forum that is so hell bent on what is or is not appropriate actions that can or can not be taken with Shepard's work.
All i am saying is that before we judge dirtyd for what he admits was a dishonest decision we should look within ourselves.
BTW, please don't attempt to defend yourself (mostly because i'm not attacking you) by giving me a spiel about how you're an honest business owner with integrity...blah blah blah. I assume that from your posts on the board and how you have publicly dealt with customers although i have never done business with you.
Jerry, I'm not sure who you are addressing. Me or C. Morrison. I confess to ot following this thread word for word. Morrison's post made sense to me and I agreed.
I purposely stayed out of this thread until now. I viewed this as a silly thread that was meant to be humorous, but strayed too close to the stupid flipper topic which I have had my fill of and am now content to sit back and watch the reruns.
Want to know how I feel about this topic? Read what fribhey has to say on page 1 of this thread. That sums it up for me. Of course I laughed my asss off at APM's confession on page 2.

I just want to say. I dont care about flippers, floppers or anything like that.
All i want is that people be honest. Sell prints you have in hand only. Dont tell me it is mint or NM when it has an FING coffee stain on the back (yes, did happen to me).

Perhaps it was owned by one of the Patricks or Swoon and you have a splatted piece there.
The guy was completely unsympathetic and said... it's on the back, why do I care, it will look fine framed.

amen. in the end your name (the proverbial you) is worth more than any print.

You can if you're in The Church of the Subgenius.
I'm an ordained Subgenius minister, and can marry you to a print, for any length of time you desire.
I never heard of The Church of Subgenius before, so I decided to look it up.
From their website:
"The SubGenius material has only recently been made public. This is YOUR chance to get in on the ground floor of a huge, lucrative cult -- NOW, while rates are low. You will then be eligible for all the $$$, weird sex, and SHEER POWER OVER OTHERS that go with high-ranking membership in the Church. And yes, YOU CAN PERFORM LEGAL WEDDINGS!"
LOL!
"We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth."
The Church of the Subgenius (Praise Bob!) used to be pretty active here in Dallas (well, as active as the Church of the Subgenius (Praise Bob!) can get), putting on video shows and the like (it was through them I first encountered AdBusters and culture jamming back in the early 90's). But then the Church of the Subgenius (Praise Bob!) was "founded" here, so it makes sense.

I think CotSG is active in Portland OR too. Figures.
whats the difference between buying a print and flipping, or keeping it then selling it? The "real fans" thing is BULLSH!T. Yeah, you missed out on a print and someone else got it, so what! Get over flipping, do you really want to get mad over somebody else selling a screenprint which they got by legitimate means?
