Don’t even need to click to know this is Fake. Hey Daniel Silk, can we ban members who blatantly post spam garbage like this.

NFT Art , by bsimkin on Dec 23, 2021 0:33:06 GMT 1, Maybe the best breakdown of what an NFT is and is not that I have seen to date: He mentions at 3:37 how expensive it would be to put a decent resolution image directly on the blockchain, so it looks like the vast majority of NFT owners are stuck with owning a URL without any control over what it points to.
I’d say the latest South Park episode also does a fantastic job of breaking down NFTs for the layman

Radiohead Kid A Mnesia , by bsimkin on Nov 12, 2021 0:42:26 GMT 1, Does anyone have any news regarding delivery of the “Scarry” Book/Vinyl edition? Contacted them but no reply and I can’t remember what it said in the order. Thanks
I got an email from them last week that said it has been delayed to early 2022 bc of supply chain crap

Bast • Strap Hanger Print, by bsimkin on Oct 4, 2021 17:21:29 GMT 1, No COA as sold via POW. No idea on value. €1 auction on eBay? Are auction houses taking his stuff? I’m potentially buying one but wanted to know what they were roughly valued at before I commit. I think a lot of sellers had unreasonable expectations after he died and slapped on silly price tags. If anyone could give me a steer on rough valuation then I’d be very grateful.
There’s a regular edition up for auction, currently $900 www.artsy.net/artwork/bast-strap-hanger-4

Daniel Arsham 🇺🇸 New York • Eroded Future Relic, by bsimkin on Apr 7, 2021 15:56:08 GMT 1, It has been out for 12 hours, it is a flop, a fairly major flop to be honest. Seems flippers now realize they can’t profit from his work.
It's all kitsch. Some might argue there's art in kitsch, but to me, it's lazy, uninspired rubbish. One trick pony that keeps doing tricks.

Thierry Noir 🇨🇵 Berlin Wall • French Street Arist , by bsimkin on Apr 3, 2021 14:09:31 GMT 1, Hi everyone on the UAA I've been lurking on these boards for a while watching the various artists and was waiting to buy a Thierry Noir original Head piece last year but then suddenly all of the prices for them went up including on places like ebay and also on here. Now since the prices all suddenly went up it is looking like it will not be possible to buy a original head anymore or even a print or at least end up paying a lot more money. I need the prices to be lower. I was wondering what the protocol is for actively trying to lower the prices for an artist on eBay and other places. If I can regularly start to post in places that the art of Noir is too high and it should come down and possibly use reasons like the art is bad or the production levels are wrong and so on. Do you guys think that this can gradually start to erode the confidence of other people and start to bring the prices down to something lower. Any advice about the best way to start to go about bringing the prices down would really be appreciated. Ideally I would like to find a way to bring the prices down to under £1,000 for a medium sized original painting. Thanks!
Lol, this is joke right? You’re kidding? You want to actively subvert the market of an artist you “like” so you can get a piece of his work for cheaper? I’m sure he’d really appreciate it! Like what twisted logic is running around in your head thinking that’s a respectable way to acquire work from an artist you claim to appreciate? Good luck.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by bsimkin on Feb 4, 2021 22:56:58 GMT 1, I just like to add, while I missed out today because my wife didn't see the email in time, the amount of sour grapes and pissing and moaning over the selection process is laughable. They have no obligation to give you a version of this mat. Do i care how many are made? I do. the more the merrier because that was the point of this whole project, to raise money for refugees, not line your pockets with some banksy tat. So if you didn't get one today (or if you got an email and missed out), there's always next time.

She must have messed up cause the only option for her was to join the waiting list even though the link was supposed to take her somewhere to make purchase.

Art Appraisal • Art Valuation for Insurance, by bsimkin on Jan 14, 2021 17:18:53 GMT 1, If your looking for a great appraisal service, I'd recommend Dina Brown with the Brown Gallery in LA. Her insurance appraisals aren't the cheapest, but she's incredibly knowledgable and will go out of her way to provide advice on authenticity and investing.
Came across this thread in search of an Art Appraiser in the USA.
Anyone else here in the states have any solid art appraisal reccos? May reach out to Dina if she's still offers her services. If there's anyone you've used that's reasonable, please hallllp.
Trying to get a few pieces reappraised. Thanks for any help!

KAWS Companion 2020, by bsimkin on Dec 17, 2020 19:18:15 GMT 1, nah it never does this normally on the site somethings up Every drop I’ve ever tried to get, you go in a queue, it then goes sold out. Then back to the original site, in this case the Black What Party. This was the first time i got manually booted from the queue because i refreshed the page too many times right as the stuff was going live. I'm in line for like a minute or two and then they completely locked me out of the site for like 3 minutes. oh well. i got a Space figure from DDT earlier in the year. can't complain. was hoping to get a gold, but turned out to be a fools gold experience for me.

Daniel Arsham 🇺🇸 New York • Eroded Future Relic, by bsimkin on Sept 26, 2020 12:35:36 GMT 1, Had this in the cart yesterday but did not pull the trigger, 2000$ plus 180$ shipping plus import duty. I am a Porsche fan but this is the cost of a 2 year warranty ffs. I might kick myself later down the line but am I the only one that thinks this is way overpriced? Sold out of course so plenty disagree!
Nah, his work is overhyped kitschy garbage (IMO) he has a lot of industry support by fashion designers for some reason/. I find his work repetitive and frankly boring at this point

Kaws What Party Chum, by bsimkin on Sept 1, 2020 14:21:28 GMT 1, 5 colors?! Brian must really be hurting for cash 🤣 There’s always been 5 chums, but the clear version has been replaced. He could have released 8 to match the prints. I wonder will he drop a set of 5 for the ocd completists
Touché. Thanks for the history lesson did not know. I just find it all amusing as he released holiday space, what, 2 weeks ago? Guy is like a money printing machine.
