Wow 4 on FleaBay already!!! Ranging from £400-£1000!

Absolutely shocking!

Is it really shocking that 2% of the total amount sold end up on eBay?

To me that sounds like an amazingly low number. I would think the gallery would be happy with anything less than 10% of total number sold.

...End up on eBay within the first hour! I'm sure the rest are waiting to confirm they actually have one first... And it was more of a shock they are up for as much as £1000!!

Buy it Now or Best Offer though, I don't think any will sell for £1k.

Well unusually I managed to get one although I agree with previous posts that Outsiders via sage are a nightmare to pay. I'm pleased to say that I have the perfect place for it and will be framing it in a nice white gloss frame. No flipping from me !

Only four? This must not have been posted to EB.

Looks like one already sold.

[sparky999]

Nothing coming up on sold listings for me, guessing the seller pulled it because he got refunded?

[alittle]

No, it's sold.

www.ebay.com/itm/191334637601

[sparky999]

ahhh had UK only checked. So what price is that you reckon about £600?

[tas]

sold for $975

[FЯ]

buy print.
watch it sell out.
post how much its worth.
watch everyone else sell theirs to cash in.
end up selling at cost.

repeat.

[vei]

Annoys the custard out of me, flipping flipper

[sparky999]

It's the galleries that are to blame - if you sell something under market price it will get re-sold for a profit. It's basic economics. IMO the situation currently is much better than everyone paying a substantially higher price and the galleries profiting.

[dbnetherleigh]

For some reason thought today was Tuesday all day long - forgot and missed the drop, gutted. Mind you based on my previous experience of carting with sage pay it probably would have been a disappointment anyway.....

people kick themselves in the foot sometimes.

- really get excited posting all over the shop hype.
- people pick up on it who would not normally buy this.
- they buy it to flip.
- loads end up on ebay
- brings price of print down.
- people moan on here.
- offload for cost.

start again.

If you did you would be hyping it like no tomorrow.

You would have started a Irish Artists thread..

Maybe they are already sold

Well, all in all this is a frustating situation as still no email but money was taken out. Surprising as the gallery is normally very good at online releases. I'd go as far to say it's been flawless for me in buying and carting in the past.

Wish though I hadn't dithered about by changing my postal address before actually checking out but assumed once in cart it was 'mine' for half an hour. Hopefully they'll look at options to resolve this such as AP editions (which there always seem to be with CH) and or refunding the ebayers. One can at least hope.

I nearly did a similar thing but just sent to my billing address in the end. They have been known to help people out in the past so fingers crossed.

I still think there's going to be refunds. No one on here heard anything yet?

They sent out an email at 10PM or so. 

[sierrahotel]

got email confo at 1630. got lucky. up on the wall she will go.

Damn. I was at a funeral during the release and I thought I was having a bad time (not b/c of the release overlap; decided not to try for this one before the funeral news). Looks like we all had a fun day.

This release seems like a win for everyone; clearly great deal at 200p, but doesn't grab you nearly as much as some of his other pieces so I can't imagine anyone too torn up over missing out. There will always be flippers; don't let them get you down.

As he releases more with the same composition, this will be very pleasant to have on the wall. That said, it also seems very replaceable by another future/past print of his with similar composition. One for the fans, almost.

Got to the payment page at 4pm BST, paid, funds left my bank account, but no confirmation email.

Also, an order number comes up in my account on Outsiders but says status is 'open' and 'There no items on this order!'

Was pretty chuffed to finally get my first Harrington but looking like I am part of the refund crowd.

Anyone else in a similar situation or can shed any light on the above? Cheers, Mac

[Pjam]

I also have an order number but no money was taken out of my bank account. I am gutted as I had this carted and was ready to purchase only have my bank deny the transaction for "potential fraud" By the time I called them the page was timed out. I hope we all get sorted out.

I got into the situation as u did. Received a notification on ny phone from the bank that I was charged £305 while the payment page is being processed. After several refreshes, there is still nothing showing up. And then I noticed, when I opened another page going straight into outsiders webpage, there is an item pending checkout under my basket in my account. Clicked on that and it progrrssed smoothly - another notification message on my phone this time (meaning I was charged twice), a transaction successful page followed by a confirmation email.

Somewhat similar to your case, I rechecked my account purchase history and found one 'paid' at 1600 hours and another 'open' at 1622 hours. Not really sure what it means, but hope mine is a confirned purchase though!
