Banksy Chocolate Donuts, by Metropolis Art on Sept 11, 2013 10:24:25 GMT 1, Hi Ivan
Forgive me for being a bit suspicious, but this sounds like the same print currently residing at our gallery that an "Ivan Tan" enquired about by email on Friday 6th September.
I would appreciate it if you could upload a few pictures of your print, obviously not the ones we sent you, just to confirm that this is just one of those ''coincidences'' that happen from time to time.
I would hate to think that as our price is ยฃ3250 and yours is ยฃ3500 that this is just another blatent flipper in action.
Thank you.

However far from me to be classed as a cynic.

Just for your information, we have been members of the forum for 3+ years now and as a rule do not advertise our wares on here as we have a web site to do just that. The number of posts IE 7 will back that up. But that doesn't mean that we don't look at the forum on a daily basis, we do, as we find it both informative and in some cases, entertaining.
We responded to the sales thread because it was clearly posted by the man who was making enquiries about our print, and he was attempting to sell something that didn't belong to him. We quoted our price to emphasise this fact.
I hope this clears up any confusion you may have had.

Banksy Chocolate Donuts, by Metropolis Art on Sept 11, 2013 15:39:05 GMT 1, Hi Wizzy
Nope, that is the correct web site. Unfortunately we put some of our Banksy prices up in 2012 to keep up with current trends, but we have a glitch on the website where certain changes go on ok and some don't and this is one of those affected. Our web designer has been trying to sort this out for over a month while we sit here and shout at him.
Our apologies for anyone who got overly excited at the old price, we hope to have it sorted soon.

Banksy Chocolate Donuts, by Happy Shopper on Sept 11, 2013 15:49:17 GMT 1, There's been an arguement on here recently that if you sell to gallery, at least you get your asking price (and if you're happy, who cares!?). In that same vein, surely, even if you're a gallery, if you sell at your asking price you should be happy, No? What someone does with the print after is their business.
(Just playing Devil's advocate, for the sake of discussion!)

MA absolutely no confusion on my part as I mentioned some cynics on this forum would have viewed it differently. As you say you have been a member since 2010 and do read the forum so you will know there are plenty of cynics around.
In all fairness to "Ivan Tan" I have to admire his initiative to source a print at a cheap price and then offer it around with a nice earner on top. Some people call this flipping though I would say it is more sourcing. Which is the same practice that some galleries undertake. Please don't take that as directed at you as it is not.

Banksy Chocolate Donuts, by Metropolis Art on Sept 11, 2013 16:18:05 GMT 1, Just to clear up a couple of the points made above. If Mr Tan had actually paid for the print and had it in his possession it would have been a different matter. While we would have probably shouted at the screen at his blatant flippery, when its all said and done we would have got our price and it would have been his to do with it as he saw fit, as Damien and Kel have both quite rightly pointed out.
Anyway, to close this thread, thanks for those who have taken the time to comment, and for future reference, all the art on our website is actually in our possession and available for viewing at any time. We do not sell then source.

It's underhand and sneaky, but it's also the way many (dodgy) galleries work.

Lots of Design Galleries do it, mark up after mark up but (usually) with each person in the chain in the know about the proceedings, its the way it goes. In this instance though maybe not carried out correctly.
