Oh yeah, the other thing is the page has not sold.  Like many of the attempted flips listed here.

I once bought a page for $10 and I consigned it to CLINK and it went for $500+

Actually, it did sell. It was relisted at $75 (higher) and somebody bought it. Congrats to the flipper for making a huge % gain and my condolences to the new owner.

My name is Lee, and I'm a flipper. 

I bought this Jungle Action page from Billy Graham's family, via Jason Schachter (the Marvel UK credits Jason Schachter) for $800 in April 2018, and sold it to Rich Donnelly for $850 in April 2019.  That's how I roll, and I make no apologies. 

But really, I'm just posting to celebrate the "flip thread" topping 100K views.  It seems to be a thread people love to hate, or a guilty pleasure, but I think it provides at least a limited service to inexperienced collectors who may be confronted with silly asking prices from time to time. 

Thanks to Steve K. for (im)moral support, and to all the posters.  And look out Commission Collecting thread, we're coming for you!

Any idea what they were trying to get for it?

Ha ha ha...ask them. Not only will you get a price on this but a list of everything Billy Graham and everything Black Panther and everything that...well, whatever else they think you might be dumb enough to buy.

Anybody want to start a thread where we just post those e-mail "quotes" verbatim? That would be fun ;)  Especially when we see overlap quotes with vastly different prices from the same time-frame!

Lee I’m sure there’s a 12 step program for flippers out there. Be strong!

You know flipping is ok, I’ve move pages around to upgrade myself but usually in a manner that I wouldn’t classified as flip.
 

IF you intend to quick flip, don’t come to the person holding your target page and commence in friendly getting to know you banter and butter em up, telling them that artist x is your favorite artist and would love to add that page to your collection.... ONLY to list it in the next available auction.
 

INSTEAD just ask if they would sell you the page and for how much. Sure you can be nice BUT drop the pretense that you need it for your collection. 
 

People are funny, they like honesty, and as slick as you think you are the hobby is a lot smaller than you think, and we REALLY like to talk...  just sayin!

Yes exactly. If you’re that collector saying one thing but doing the other it catches up to you.
