DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by truetiger on Dec 18, 2010 14:01:35 GMT 1, Well not been on the forum for long and this was going to be my first deal with a forum member.
I agreed to buy 5 pieces, All framed.
Mysterious Al x3
Dface x2
Agreed a price, Agreed to meet and pay on wednesday.
Met with the chap on wednesday down at his work (battersea power station)
Seemed like a genuine art lover, had the pieces wrapped up in white paper, tor the centre bit to show me one of the als and tbh i took him at face value and thought no need to check over anything.
Before meeting him i confirmed with him everything was A1 CONDITION and framed professionally and his response was YES.
Paid him out the money in cash and insisted he counted to make sure i was genuine and off we went.
Came home all giddy only to find when i opened the pieces that 2 of the mysterious al frames were damaged/scracthed/marked, the rear of the frames have been taped down with brown elastic tape (which he said when i called him was to keep out the moisture, looks more like a cowboy job) and the dface servo was framed in something cheap and cheerful which i dont think ikea would even sell and the print is longsided (army bob said it just slipped and needs to be repositioned.
When i rang him up to voice my concern he just blamed it all on me that the dface must have slipped whilst in the van and the mysterious als must have marked whilst in the van too.
I admit i had them standing up against each other but the only place they could havemarked would have been the top as they were resting on each other and not the sides of the frame.
Since this very annoying phone call and chosen words voiced to him he has not responded to any further calls on thursday/friday or texts on thursday or friday or pm's thursday or friday even tho he has logged in 3-4 times a day.
He has F*KED me good and proper and for someone so innocent to not return phone calls, texts, or pm's shouts GUILTY to me.
Ive given him a number of opportunities to contact me but he has not hence why ive done this.
It dont finish there, he promised me he would contact stolen space in regards to getting COA for the canis servo regina but guess what im guessing he has not and wont cos he is not responding to me.
Im having now to get the mysterious al frames repaired and the canis servo regina reframed if i decide to keep it or sell it to help fund payment for the repair job on the al frames.
He says his name is BOB which is a lie, as he goes by the names of;
Steve
Steven
Stephen
Ste (his wife/girlfriend) calls him this
Mr. price
He blocked out his address on the ARTREPUBLIC form which is the COA for what have i become (DFACE)But i didnt take much notice of this till i had a problem but now i know why, so i cant find him or turn up in his house.
Under the terms and conditions of the forum i have details on this guy which i dont know if im allowed to post;
I have found out the address on ART REPUBLIC invoice.
x3 Mobile phone numbers.
Who he works for.
A company in which he goes under by.
His date of birth.
Where he's from originally.
But to sum it up;
*FALSE NAME
*BLANKED OUT ADDRESS ON ART REPUBLIC INVOICE
*NOT GOT ME COA ON DFACE canis servo regina
*WONT REPLY TO PM'S (ONE HE'S READ AND OTHER HE HAS IGNORED EVEN THO HES BEEN ONLINE
*IGNORE PHOEN CALLS
*IGNORE TEXTS

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by Prescription Art on Dec 18, 2010 14:58:40 GMT 1, What did you think you were buying? Did you see pictures of the pieces framed? Did you pay a lot extra for the prints because of the frames? It sounds like the prints are in perfect condition but there's a few scratches on the frames? And why are people so hung up on COAs - are there a lot of fake Mysterious Al prints in circulation? Do you think the prints you've bought are fakes?
Anyway - it sounds like you're over-reacting just a little.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by truetiger on Dec 18, 2010 15:08:16 GMT 1, I was buying x3 sulks, and 2 dface pieces
All were meant to be PROFESSIONALLY FRAMED
The dface, what have i become is simp,y amazing
the sulks, 2 of the frames are marked/scracthed and the back is lines with brown salotape
the dface canis servo regina was in some cheap skinny frame.
people are so hung up on coas just make sure they are genuine, the pieces are genuine but its a record of where the piece was bought and from who, from a gallery you should be aware that history with a print is very good.
Over-reacting, do you know this guy?
Ive done my bit, turned up and paid how he wanted, he gives me a false name and covers him address.
he said to me the prints and frames were in a1 condition and framed professionally-i beg to differ from looking at the back of the sulks.
he's been far from honest.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by truetiger on Dec 18, 2010 15:23:58 GMT 1, The prints are A1
The frames were described as being A1 and ready to hang which they are not.
Im hoping the 2 mysterious al frames can be repaired or they will all have to be reframed.
Im going to have to sell the Dface canis servo regina to fund this - when i get soem sort of confirmation from stolen space.
But the DFACE "WHAT HAVE I BECOME" IS SUBLIME- AMAZING- PERFECTLY FRAMED AND IMAGE
The thing that is annoying me is his lies, he said to me every piece/frame was a1 but with him giving me a MADE UP NAME and document with his address covered up he knew what he was doing and didnt want any come backs.
No matter how people look at this he has done the following.
*FALSE NAME
*BLANKED OUT ADDRESS ON ART REPUBLIC INVOICE
*NOT GOT ME COA ON DFACE canis servo regina
*WONT REPLY TO PM'S (ONE HE'S READ AND OTHER HE HAS IGNORED EVEN THO HES BEEN ONLINE
*IGNORE PHOEN CALLS
*IGNORE TEXTS
He didnt keep his side of the deal, Now its going to cost me extra in repairing frames and paying for coa from stolen space. More money from my pocket and not his. ITEMS WERE NOT AS DESCRIBED!

If you met this guy face to face and bought them for cash, why the hell didnt you check each and everyone of them ?? Did you hand over a lot of cash ??
Sounds like you got off lightly to me me if your walking around with your eyes shut handing ou cash....
Dirty move on the false info mind

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by gingerella on Dec 18, 2010 15:47:28 GMT 1, If something has been advertised as a certain quality then that is what you should expect to receive. Yep fair enough he should have checked out all the frames, but he didn't... and probably really regrets it, but with all the excitement and the fact that he met this guy face to face.. truetiger was probably a bit off guard. I think it's a bit rude to say he is over reacting, I also work for a gallery and know how important COA's are to buyers... whether you are personally fussed about them or not doesn't matter, someone is spending their hard earned money on a picture... a COA helps them feel secure about the purchase. Makes me a bit cautious of some galleries, if that's their beliefs.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by truetiger on Dec 18, 2010 15:55:01 GMT 1, Artsmybag, I met this guy at his work, i spoke with him and seemed like a good guy so i didnt think i needed to check how wrong was i, As above never take anyones word and yes its a lesson learnt. I just feel sorry for any future deals on this forum as i will be asking for ID and checking over the print for ages.
I wouldnt say im walking around with my eyes closed but its merely a case of you just cant trust no one in this day in age, there is always someone trying to screw you for a few pound.
With what was exchanged in terms of money yes it was a fair bit of money but you live and learn.
Thank you gingerella fro seeing my point of view in regards to what was told to me and the coa history.
Fingers crossed the mysterious al are repairable.

The address i have, Is the address which was on the art republic invoice. Is he still based there i dont know. From my research the address which is on the art republic invoice, Armybob, steve, ste, steven, stephen, mr price he does not own, so merely renting it. He's from nottingham and working down at Battersea!

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by manty on Dec 18, 2010 16:17:50 GMT 1, Its really down to you.
Its like buying a car described as immaculate, and you get there and can find a fault on it, it may be immaculate in the sellers eyes, but the buyer does not agree.
I think if I was to have a close inspection of all my frames I could find fault with every one, though look great at around 100 metres away :-)
Still gutted for you though, i know the excitement of getting new pieces and the anticlimax when they are not as you expected.
If you have time It would be good to see some these marks, as maybe your over reacting and it'll be fine when its on the wall ?

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by truetiger on Dec 18, 2010 16:28:03 GMT 1, Manty, I'll take some snaps and figure out how to put them up. Liek you say they are ok if you are standing away from them but i always know the marks are there but i will take pics and get your feedback.
But my problem is they were sold on the basis of being A1 not near perfect. When buying a car i would have an independent check with the AA or RAC.
They were nto sold as seen they were sold as being professionalyl framed and A1 condition!
You not going to wish me happy birthday manty

Perhaps he genuinely believes they were in good nick when they left him and you are trying it on. Anyway, keep trying to contact him and keep it ammicable as possible (i know its frustrating) you will probably find a solution which you both accept.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by truetiger on Dec 18, 2010 16:46:45 GMT 1, Theres two sides to every story correct.
Possibly im trying it on? Was i the one who has done the following;
*GAVE A FALSE NAME
*BLANKED OUT ADDRESS ON ART REPUBLIC INVOICE
*NOT GOT ME COA ON DFACE canis servo regina
*WONT REPLY TO PM'S (ONE HE'S READ AND OTHER HE HAS IGNORED EVEN THO HES BEEN ONLINE
*IGNORE PHOEN CALLS
*IGNORE TEXTS
I think the points above paint a picture by itself.
Why would i be trying it on, i agreed a price i was happy to pay, why would i be complaining?
Im not contacting him anymore, He's a C*nt as well as a pathetic self centered con man.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by Harveyn on Dec 18, 2010 16:49:16 GMT 1, Hate to bring this up. Generally frames always seem to have a bit of damage. It happens and obviously the art condition is the critical element. My concern would be if they are cheap frames and taped up unprofessionally along the back, how have the prints been handled with respect to use of conservation materials. 100% reversible Japanese Mulberry paper or mylar corners? Given your descriptions I doubt it.
I would suggest having that checked pretty quickly.
I am not blaming either party but these things should be discussed prior to any deal taking place. IMO
I am sure all will be fine, so enjoy the rest of your birthday.
Hate to bring this up. Generally frames always seem to have a bit of damage. It happens and obviously the art condition is the critical element. My concern would be if they are cheap frames and taped up unprofessionally along the back, how have the prints been handled with respect to use of conservation materials. 100% reversible Japanese Mulberry paper or mylar corners? Given your descriptions I doubt it.
I would suggest having that checked pretty quickly.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by stanley on Dec 18, 2010 16:57:26 GMT 1, *IGNORE PHOEN CALLS *IGNORE TEXTS Im not contacting him anymore, He's a C*nt as well as a pathetic self centered con man.
If you are saying things like this then not surprised hes ignoring you. Im not saying you are trying it on but people do even after price is agreed. Hopefully, after he sees this he will be in touch. Good luck.

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by armybob on Dec 18, 2010 16:57:29 GMT 1, Hi Tiger, please tell the truth. and talk through proper lines.
You payed ยฃ700 cash for two real nice dface prints and 3 m/als Thats 5 prints framed for ยฃ700. my name on here is armybob no fake names just the internet, my name is steve as the receipts say.
you haggled the price so low saying you don't give a fuck about frames. And cause i was in a spot for cash i took your silly low offer.
I have sold prints posted out to germany america and never had problems, tiger IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME( silly child) was the worst person i have ever delt with, the prints where up for sale again on here before he even had the prints in his hand (t**t) this did rage me, he spoke about being new to the game but being a true art lover ect . Read his i want to flip banksy thread, he looked like a cowboy builder and stacked 5 framed prints on top of each other in the back of a builders van. framed prints i have had on the wall for years ( i never ever would have sold the things in frames if they were damaged. He strapped in his work van with all his tools loose in the back with a bungy!!!!!! i even commented on that when he collected. He didn't want a receipt and with in half hour he was on the phone trying to blag another 100 off the price to pay for new framing.
From that point i stopped answering his calls as he was really grating on me.
If you want to pursue this you can contact me via the number you have and we can talk like gentleman. But you can not and will not get money off. You can have a full refund as long as you pay for any damage you have caused to any frames or prints
Which i think is fair
Cheers BOB

DO NOT DEAL WITH ARMYBOB , by Daniel Silk on Dec 18, 2010 16:59:46 GMT 1, If you do the deal face to face then you should make sure your happy with the items before handing over the money ALWAYS take a really good look at them and make sure they are exactly what you were expecting.
In his mind, he might well feel his description was 100% accurate, but yours framing standards and opinion could well be different, so you should alway make sure!
