How are AP flippers not getting blacklisted?

It was a dealer that owns the boutique. I had this arrangement right when the 15500 came out. The 15202 wasn't as crazy as it is today.

All it takes is persistence. I'm shooting for a 15407 now. Once I get that, I'll sell my 15202 most likely.

Grey market and flippers are the reason AP is able to increase their prices as fast as they have. It is free advertising for them. Used to be auctions that determined value but now its in real time and all for public consumption. Its a rigged game and we are all “victims”.

Indeed.

Die hard collectors are the victims here.

Sure, my first AP was a 15202ST as hard as that may sound. But we are more the exception to the rule.
