I'm a bit bored of reading all the stick that Hang-Up Gallery get. They always pay fair market values and they're a pleasure to deal with. So what if they sell it on for more? You would never be able to sell your prints at the prices they do. They're a gallery and they've invested a lot of time and money into their platform. Give them a break.

Sohohoho sorry your missing the point. No one minds galleries on the forum buying and selling prints. Good luck to them that's their business think they are very welcome by all on the forum.. I buy and have contact with some of them. So I have no issues with galleries trading on here as you imply. It was put politely last time as this has been going on for sometime that like all the other Galleries Hangup should list and trade as a gallery. Not try and con people that it is a private sale/purchase by Missurbanite. This is not an error it's done to hide the fact that they are buying as a gallery.
worse still you order a print from them they come on here buy it and sell it to you. Selling stock that they do not have. Would not be the first gallery to do that dubious practice to members on here.

so will happily give them a break when they start trading honestly...not too much to ask is it especially as they know the forum rules and protocol for galleries,. So their action is deliberate.

I've seen the actual Hang-Up account post many WTB threads but they have more than one member of staff and they have their own accounts as per the rules. missurbanite has never denied she works for Hang-Up and I'm sure she wouldn't mind if she was given a blue star. I very much doubt that Hang-Up take any money from customers if they don't have the goods. I guess most of their WTB threads are for re-stocking purposes rather than to fulfill an order that has already been paid for. Happy to be proved wrong though.

Sorry they are a gallery. If they want to buy they should use the gallery to trade not as a personal trade it's quite simple really.

ps if they cannot organise to put a 3/4 line wanted ad each week through their gallery account does not suggest they are very organised as a gallery. Does not strike me as being particularly difficult

[yoyosh]

So are Banksy unsigned prints confirmed to be "numbered by the artist"? Or only the "Morons" at Hang Ups?

Exactly. I cannot agree more.
 
Moreover, I am one of those that in the past asked for a work by one particular artist, got a reply that they were able to get one soon thanks to their "network of trusted collectors"....just to see their WTB popping up few minutes after my request...obviously all the prices were increased by exactly 500 pounds.

If somebody thinks this is the way a trusted and well-organized gallery should run, then good luck dealing with them!

PS
The worst story however, is from a gallery that offered me a piece on sale on ebay (unique image, so impossible to be wrong) for 2.5k more than the bin price...the gallery was artfair.fr and when I raised the issue I got the following "What a coincidence, feel free to buy it from ebay, with all the risks it includes."
