A Costly Flip: Water Dyno #640 Changes Hands One recent sale has highlighted an important lesson for anyone looking to sell a Dyno. Water Dyno #640 was purchased on May 28 for 0.1400 ETH. Yesterday, it was sold for just 0.0817 ETH which is a loss of: 0.0583 ETH Approximately $138 USD (based on ETH prices at the time of each transaction) The buyer was a flip bot, which has already relisted the Dyno at 0.1395 ETH—just below the current floor. If the bot sells at its asking price, it stands to make: 0.0578 ETH profit (before marketplace fees) Roughly $100–$101 USD at yesterday’s ETH price That profit comes from purchasing a Dyno significantly below what many collectors may have been willing to pay for a specific Dyno. The Pink Cycling Glasses (17 exist) and the Pins (only 5 exist) traits for example are legendary which makes this Dyno appealing to collectors of the rarest traits. A Reminder for the Community If you ever need to sell a Dyno quickly, consider asking around first. The Lounge and Holders Corner on Discord are filled with collectors who genuinely want to expand their collections. In many cases, community members may be willing to pay more than an automated floor-sniping bot, especially for interesting Dynos or when a listing is well below market value. Selling to another holder means: More value stays with community members. Non-holders could make the leap and buy their first Dyno because they got a deal on it. Existing collectors have a chance to buy before automated flippers. Flip bots uninvolved with the community have fewer opportunities to profit from distressed sales. The collection floor is less likely to be temporarily pulled downward by bargain listings. Of course, everyone is free to buy and sell however they choose, and sometimes a fast sale is the priority. But if time allows, a quick message in the Lounge or Holders Corner on Discord could result in a better offer on @opensea while keeping more value within the @AngryDynomites community. Sometimes, a five-minute conversation can be worth up to 0.0583 ETH. 🦖
