I also doubt the reason es for these marvel exclusives have been higher and higher is because of flippers. The flipped pieces make up MAYBE 10% of the total buys and that is a BIG maybe. The es goes up because SSC is a business and they like money and want to make money. They honestly don't care too much about flipping because they want their initial cost. IF flippers are gonna buy it then SSC will sell it to them, if they cancel well in most cases SSC can sell the ex anyways and they usually do.

Well from my tiresome and lenghtly research, there are 3 kinds of flippers, the Chain Flippers, the patient Lurker Flippers and the Hobo Flippers.
The Lurkers are the kind who will hold on to 5 unopened "Hulk vs Spidey" diorama's for 4-5 years, then try to space them out and sell them on ebilvay.
The Chain Flippers order exclusives (or even regs) en mass and try to flip them asap. Then they may decide to cancel before the product ships if the flippage isn't doing well.
The Hobbyist Flipper (or Hobo Flipper) does some on the side flippage while ordering every possible exclusive and tries to flips it. He then has the option of cancelling b4 it comes if it does not sell or getting it then trying to sell it down the line.
Each kind of Flipper is in competition with the next in the whole ecological Flipper eat Flipper world. So this forms the Collectible Pyramid of Ecology with the desparate Collectors (victims) at the bottom rung and the elite flippers (predators) on top.
For further information read "Flipping for Dummies" or "How a became a Flipping Millionaire". Lastly, you may want to get the hard to get treasured handbook for all serious flippers.... "The Flipper Handbook: Know your right, survive the system" also known but it's German name "How to live in the grey area and absolve myself from guilt, Achtung Baby!". There are a few exclusive editions of this handbook with limited ES available for a premium on Ebay right now.
PS: If you buy any of those handbooks on Ebay, then you already failed and should go back to your day (or real) job.
The result of the flipper revolution caused flipper inflation which is an increase of ES size which started near 100 and now have skyrocketed to 750 and 800 for exclusive collectibles. As a result, many flippers have been frustrated by their greedy counterparts, but don't fret, if all else fails you can commit Harakiri on the knife of your replica katana sword. (Pls note that replicas used in Harakiri may result in an unusually painful death.)
Thanks you and carry on Flipping!
