Seems like the general consensus on here is that a flipper can do as they please. A lot of times I list stuff on here to move. For example I just sold a Type 1 Ruth on here for $450. I paid $250. Its worth $750. I made my money and who cares lol meat on the bone all around. Would you not buy that ruth photo if the person who bought it from me was asking $700 because he paid $450 and you missed out?

Imagine
 

Imagine a stock broker, who doesn't give a damn about the stock he is selling, and only focuses on his commission.:eek:

Imagine an attorney, who doesn't give a damn about the verdict, and only works for his contingency or retainer.:eek:

Imagine a politician, who cares less about his constituents than re-election and selling influence.:eek::eek:

Imagine a fast food chain, that gladly complies with doubling the minimum wage and then has to resort to cutting its workforce using robots in order to remain solvent.:p

Then

Imagine a baseball card collector with a passion for his collection, who uses the hobby as an escape from all of the above, who buys wisely and ultimately can sell fairly to another younger collector, breaking even or even realizing a small profit.:)

There are more than a few of us in this category on the forum. There are others who are not.

I'm not dissing all brokers, attorneys, politicians, hamburger flippers and card flippers, but to suggest that the true card collector and the quick flipper are in the same category is a fallacy in my opinion.

I do reserve the right to be called a tortoise flipper though as I upgrade my collection.;)

I rest my case, your honor.

Agreed....on Ebay at least, the card flipper pays more. Like someone else said, Mike Denero has been one of my biggest customers for a while. Same with Dean Hawley.

I am trying Frank, but can not seem to imagine any of those things

The days of Carter and Barker exchanging mimeographed lists and trading cards by mail is long since gone. Cards are collectibles but they are also commodities, and it's only the profits in buying and selling them that results in their being widely available. Sell to whoever you like, but calling here for a list of flippers I find obnoxious. And I am not even a flipper as such.

It might be better to start a list of known "collectors" who definitely are not buying a card to flip.

Verifying that list might be a bit difficult :-)

Surprised it took this long .................... :p

................ I really have nothing intelligent to add (like normal ;))

Trust me, I was thinking it from the beginning. :D

Once you start following auctions, eBay, message boards etc you will not need a list of flippers - it becomes quite clear who buys items with the intent to resell.

Also, if they pay my price, I don't care what they do with the card. if they do the legwork to find a buyer who will pay a higher price than I ask, more power to them.

Chris, agree 100%
