I took this on as part of a big trade but after making some new purchases for my collection i need to let this go.

Faile 'Surfer Horse' Pink Color way Edition of 8

This is personally one of my favorite Faile images and this particular one does not disappoint, loads of hand finishing, thick acrylic which i have tried to photo and enough coffee stains and paint splats to last you a lifetime.

+ To top it off it has been floated in a lovely Mr-Frame man white box frame.

Needing the cash asap i am now willing to let this go FRAMED for 1k cash on collection which is a bloody bargain, this deal lasts till sunday before i put it on ebay.

Its ready to hang and ready to go.

I don't really follow faile in great detail but that seems like a very good price for a low edition when compared to more recent prints. Like that image.

[volvic]

i am not too fussed on getting top money for this print i just want what i am owed for the trade. hopefully this will find a good home - i think the frame was £300 alone!

Beautiful.

[Zippy]

my favourite Faile image.
Love it.

[volvic]

Thanks guy's - Any takers?

[volvic]

bump!

[volvic]

Bump - offers accepted on this.

[Ryan Lazy]

If I had money to spare this close to xmas I would make you an offer... really nice !!!

[volvic]

Bump for a classic Faile.

I will take £1350 for this before the weekend which i believe to be a bargain, if not ebay beckons. I know there is a lot of faile to choose from on here at the moment but i firmly believe you cannot spend your money any better, this is a classic!

Have you seen the proliferation of comments made by members to sale threads that say, "If I had a million, I'd be all over your piece in a rash and buy 20 of those, but in reality, I don't have a pot to piss in!"

Unfortunately I spent all my money on a pot to piss in leaving me with nothing to buy the stuff I want

[volvic]

Price slashed to 1k for quick sale - its bargain time on the banksy forum.

[jimbo73]

Shame it is float mounted. Good price though.

[volvic]

why is that a shame jimbo? its done with acid free strips by mr frame man, absolutely no damage to the print whatsoever.

How easy are they to remove if you chose to do so ? Doe's it cost ?

Just I remember seeing a scuba horse on eBay that had previously been float mounted and then removed from the frame. It looked like the back of it had sustained a terrible shaving accident with all these bits of paper stuck to the back.

[Harveyn]

As long as it has been hinged with something like Japanese mulberry paper the process is 100% reversible with no effect to the print and costs nothing to have done.

I would much rather buy a properly float mounted print than one that has been mounted properly behind mount card.

The reason being that no matter what protective glass you use some fade will occur over years and for prints that are behind mount card that will not be even. For prints that are float mounted behind UV protective glass or plexi then even though any fade may be absolutely minimal and may take many years it will be virtually unnoticeable because it will be even.

IMO.

[edcase]

1k?!! Are you INSANE!

Tempted myself at that price, just have nowhere to put it right now!!! Stop tempting me!

[edcase]

What's the full size, framed?

Which is a great example of extremely poor framing, its a bit silly to assume everything is framed that way, mr frame mans framing is second to none which is why most of the people on this forum use him on a regular basis.

Forum members really need to respect others selling threads, as its comments like this that are totally unfounded could ruin the sale of this print. I'm sure you never intended to do so, or intended to buy the piece. most artwork I have bought either secondary market or from galleries has come framed and I have never had a problem. Any decent framer would make sure the materials used for float mounting was completely safe and 100% reversible.

Good luck with the sale mate, this has to one of the best bargains that i have seen for sometime.

[volvic]

Thanks Ronhill - as i said i just want back what i owe the trade, i remember people going crazy over the 1k price of the surfer horse from UA a few months back which got snapped up. Unframed + it was not as nice as this one

lets hope somebody wakes up and smells the coffee stains and grabs this before sunday.

[volvic]

Final Bump before ebay tonight.

[volvic]

BUMP - 1k Cash here or 3k for an unframed one @ butchers hook? you decide!

They've really bumped up there prices. I got a butterfly girl off of them for less. But I have to say they didn't send it as securely as I would of expected.

[volvic]

Sub £1000 for a classic faile hand finished? i have got to be mad, i wil take £950 for this now surely making it the bargain of the month?

need the cash this weekend so someone take this off me.

Cheers

[Scraffer]

Sorry, off topic: why do they always write "1986" on every print?

[neale]

1986 is the year the Challenger space thing was launched

[neale]

Any trades plus cash considered Volvic?

[volvic]

Trades considered but only for classic unsigned banksys (after a soup can U/S) or a Very Little Helps / Doughnut / Stop Search / (i would add cash my side for this)

Thanks

[Ryan Lazy]

would you consider monthly installments? ;D
