Quote from: RockinPrettyBeats on September 14, 2012, 04:17:05 AMThe only time I would get annoyed at flipping, is if someone joined a swap for the pure intention of making money on it. So that would mean they skimped on their side of the swap. That's the only thing that I would think would be kind of low. Of course, if they just sold off their side of the swap cause they ended up not wanting it that's another story. Other than that scenario (which I don't think has ever happened - At least, I've never seen a thread about it)This has happened, actually. There was someone who was selling customs they recieved in swaps when they had never sent their side and stopped communicating with the host. I think it happened several times with this person, but because the swaps all started within a similar timeframe, there was no way for the swap hosts to know that this person was super shady because they hadn't gotten feedback on it yet. It was a disaster.

I would never sell a custom I was given, but I wouldn't have a problem with someone selling one of mine if they were having to raise money for something important and asked me about it. I think someone flipping a custom they bought from me doesn't bother me. It's not a personal thing I gave them and it's kind of flattering to think of 2 people wanting a custom I did . I wouldn't flip someone else's though.
I suppose a lot of what I have to say has been said before- but I agree that selling a gift or a swap is a little tacky- that said a friend of mine recently put a bunch of stuff for sale- including some gifts I had given to her and made for her- I felt a little bad but she is has been laid off for a while now and has a new baby- how on earth can I begrudge her trying to earn a few very needed dollars? She needs diapers more than dolls alas- so I got over it.
