best print if the year so far, IMO. but if you're going to ask that much $$, you should at least put a picture of it up. who knows - maybe the hand finishing on this one goes far beyond any of the ones I've seen... but I doubt it

It's this one...

Kinda fitting abbreviations considering the asking price.

3k? OMG, LOL !!

[.dappy]

... I thought that they were variations but done by Adam Batchelor ... thought he had been out of the scene for a little while and had returned!

[laurentbaboo]

Can't believe we are still talking about it! Saying that, very good marketing campaign for the artist. Do wander who really started the thread! Not heard anything from Poops since then! Hmmm...!

[Art Fan 2011]

The OP has disappeared, doubt they have inundated with buyers begging to buy this print for £3k !!

[.dappy]

... he might be related to plip and ploppi?!? ...

This Zach fellow needs to come and hit London streets hard and then follow the street work up with a credible and unique show. Finally, he needs to do a decent doodle in my blackbook (not just a quick tag) and then I'll make a judgement on him ;-)

These prints are ok, a bit Dranish, but Dran has pedigree, where this guy has potential.

[poops]

This has now sold guys - thank you for your time.

*sorry to those who didn't see it!!

Ladies and gents, don't get caught out on the hype trail. I already see this is happening. I would be very careful shelling out high end money for anything newish on the urban art scene in the hope of making a good investment. It seems that people are being caught up in the graffiti prints releases. I truly belive many will be stung this way. I would love a ZACH, but I truly would not pay over £6-700 for a hand finished - the guy is just starting out.............. seems to be that Martin Whatson, Zach , Dot Dot Dot are the flips of the times, however not that great flips as it is! Doesn't seem to much profit after a week or so, in fact many selling at cost. I cannot believe the pric of the hand finished en pointe on ebay!

Dont worry Gunny, I believe people are not that gullible. If they are then they will not listen to anyone except the hyper.

Denada, I was thinking exactly the same thing and nearly put that in my post. For everyone on this forum that has been on here a long time - how many of you were caught out with Nick Walker? I remember his prices were mental, nearly at Banksy prices, probably second on the list of most sought after Urban Artists back in the days. I remember getting emails from Black Rat Press offering me a vandal canvas for £5-6k, but not to tell anyone, this is a great opportunity etc etc. I bet that canvas wouldn't shift for 1k today. I know many Walker fans who bought canvasses for 7-10k that are well out of pocket. What I am i saying is that things stabilise. By the way, I am actually a big fan of Nick Walker and I actually think he has a good standing and will last in the scene a long time, and that his prices will rise. Luckily i sold all my silly investments at the right time, i kept what i like which is a couple of prints!

OK, breaks my heart to do this but the Wall isnt flat enough to hang it and Ive run out of nails so there we are... I recently bought this from a trusted forum member on this forum, hes a member on here, I paid 5k and really im only looking to sell on at cost plus a few grand, his work is now being sought after by top Galleries I hear, dont miss the boat like what I nearly did.

hahaha that made me chuckle.  Why anyone would spend more than a couple hundred quid to put this in their dorm room i have no idea but hey, that's art. 

[Art Fan 2011]

The OP didn't say it sold for £3k, I suspect it didnt even sell, he just took it down ti avoid any further comments. This Zach guy is so new to the scene, the release price of 395 seemed steep, let alone the crazy hyped prices that are being banded around by presumably owners if these 1/1's. In terms if pricing and popularity Zach and Whatson are not in the same league!

Have you heard of Bambi? People in the art world are claiming she is the female Banksy.

we have a male Banksy, a female Banksy, and now all we need is a transgender Banksy to complete the set

Does this site have any Mods?

This is the only forum I've been on where FS thread's are ruined with opinions and comments and general bitchyness. (I do appreciate some are very funny like the US chap but this one has been awful).

Personally I think members should be a banned for invading a thread with their BS. Buy it or sod off IMO.

Create a thread in Urban Art called the Official Bitch About Other Peoples Sales Threads so all the nastiness can be contained and the FS thread not abused.

Should also be a rule to Ads where a guide price is mandatory. Any posted without should be deleted.

Or is the clique too set in its ways to change?

[Deleted]

Already a guide on here Ponyboy.

GUIDE - How to best use this section of the forum to help yourself and others

1. If your selling your item on ebay, then sell it on ebay, please don't post and start threads just to tell people about it.

2. If your Selling more than one item please use only ONE thread, not one for each item. Threads may get merged where its felt appropriate to do so.

3. Don't bump your thread. If you must post, add extra info, photos, and answer peoples questions.

4. Make clear and simple titles to your thread. For Sale, Swap, Want, followed by Artist or Artists names, Plus item name if you have room.

5. Try to post as much info about the item as you can, including Price, Photos, Size, Edition size, Condition.

6. Remember all Sales/Trades/Swaps are carried out at your own risk. Try to do all deals face to face if you can to avoid any problems.

7. Don't hassle or abuse other members if you don't agree with their price. If you don't like it, don't buy it! and just leave the thread alone.

Looks like a lot of those have been ignored then.

To be honest, this thread to me is only about 3-4 post long - the rest I blurred out. I would have appreciated something more along the lines of:

Ahh mate, i don't think it's really worth £3k - may I ask why you price it at that? I think for *reason 1* and *reason 2* it probably worth X but there just my views from experience. Hit me a PM if you need more advice but good luck anyway.


Hey that's how I would respond - I'd want to come across as helping a fellow fanatic. Not kick them in the ribs and run away shouting abuse.

An given that I'm 14 odd post new - people might have clicked I'm new at this.

Thanks to those who actually post some useful feedback - it's interesting to hear the views of the experienced ones!
