You doth protest too much. How does one degree differ from another in that it is 'real'? It's either a degree or it's not? Not sticking up for Grafik but would like to point out that a practical course, eg art, graphic design, photography, etc... usually requires solid work throughout the year for which your marked every few weeks, compared to academic subjects where you attend lectures on and off but are only scored by a set of exams come summertime. One's maybe not less 'real' than the other, but one is certainly easier to work part time throughout and still get your mark. All degrees are not equal. I'll second that. My design degree was 4 years of 9 to 5 every day - 35 hours a week of lectures/practical work. If you missed anything you were sent a letter noting your absence. You were also given a massive reading list and longer term projects to do outside of this time. History of art was 2 hours of lectures a week... In fact I remember some students who, due to the modules they had chosen, had no lectures whatsoever one term. All degrees are equal. But some are more equal than others. |

so Don aka Artsmybag aka Tompkins aka Wilfsboy aka Matt When are you going to tell all on this forum the truth about this "deal". That it never actually happened and that it was/is a complete lie. You bagged a grey and you werent shy in telling everyone on every forum about, you already have a Trollies (which you have been trying to sell via Ebeans) and you have a choc donut (which you posted photos of on photobucket), oh and you never ever had a red. BUSTED again Is this for real? Can I ask, if it is, why on earth would you bother? I think the plan went something like this... Claim to have a red because no one else had one so would make him look cool. (The original lie that started it all) Posted a pic of the red to back up his claim but was called out on it being someone else's uncredited pic from a different forum. People suspected he was lying. To counter this, he claimed his red was at the framers and he'd show us all by posting pics when it came back. Then we'd see... Now as that was another lie, it caused him another problem. He needed to come up with a credible reason not to have to post pics of his red which people would soon be asking to see and he had promised to post. So he came up with yet another lie. He'd say he swapped his red in an incredible "3 for 1" deal. The deal had to be so good it was worth letting a red go, but it couldn't be cold hard cash, a price he couldn't refuse, because everyone would call him flipper and he'd get lots of abuse. It needed to be the ultimate swap. Not only would this excuse him from having to post pics of his non existent red, but it would also make him look like an incredibly shrewd (and lucky) dealmaker. He'd come out smelling of roses. And it would've worked if it hadn't been for you meddling kids! |

Bet a lot of folk that jumped in too quick @ 4-8k are gutted to see the green and blue at these prices. Looks like the last few grey will go and settle at around 2.2k-2.5k Can't see many greys or the other colours being around at the end of the year. 2.5k for an edition of 100 is a good price. |

MAM and DAD, DON would have fitted in great, only 3 letters so its cheap and less chance of a spelling mistake! Sadly its not to be, will have to wait for another hero with only 3 letters in their name, Don how could you!  |

I always thought alsbabar was joe valentino, no? Apologies if not...they're both knowledgeble and have a caustic posting style that makes me smile. As for Don...if true, how very sad! So joevalentino is alsabar formerly palypaul ? fingerz is caughtbythefuzz and possibly truetiger ? I dont know where all these rumors start but its getting kind of ridiculous now. Don I've not been in touch with Ali for a while so don't know if he is JoelValentino but he is one million per cent NOT PaulyPaul!! Not even close on the one Don I'm afraid, must try harder  |

This release has brought some strange reactions out of people. Why would you lie to people you dont know on a forum, is it to get forum stripes or something? I personally feel you should never post something on here again, youve been busted big time and im sure your very ashamed (im ashamed for you). However to do what you have done means you have no shame and will sign up with a new name anytime soon and probably join in with slagging yourself off so no one suspects it's you. Mate just try to be yourself and not impress people with lies and bs.

Ross is right there, we've seen some truly bizarre behaviour since the release of this print.....preople pretending they own one when they don't, people pretending they don't own one but constantly talk up the value, fantasy trades, more hype, more speculation, loads more bs.....it's been a ride for sure.

I don't believe that blue CYW is a genuine sale, it's been won by the same eBay account which keeps winning CYW's at well above average price's. Think that's the 5th I have seen them win all over £5k
