I'm not daft i know arts dodgy but just saying i didnt know it happened when prints 1st come out.
I got alot to learn

Save your soul, just pretend you don't know. It's an ugly business at times. Oh and brace yourself for more, regular disappointment. It's part of the growing up in the art world. I for one had to, everyone had to. Now I can miss a drop I really wanted and still move on with my life.

And he is probably on the forum since (I guess in reaction to the above) the image was changed on eBay to hide the name

surprised he didn't raise the price as this particular print has a history already......

still amazed that these are the kind of people that try to set the value of a print

Yeah it sucks but there are enough morons trying to flip like Rolan that often times you can get stuff under cost as they don’t have the capital to hold items that long. Rubs me too on this one as did want this one but not paying a high markup for it.

Pay a little extra and go buy a nice original. There are tons of artists out there i'm sure you will find something you like.

Forget all this bullshit that goes with these print releases

I'm sure GP likes flippers, as they set really high prices for the 'Vault sales' where they magically find 20 PP's to sell for 4x release. So why cancel their orders?

I think many artists are not as opposed as they say to crazy resale prices, because sadly it contributes to raising their profile and how much they can hope to sell on the primary market. I know some galleries have played that game for a long time, now some of them are not exactly even hiding.

i would pay double

Without people willing to buy stolen goods,there wouldn’t be thieves,without people willing to pay double,there wouldn’t be flippers 🐬

Pez has 171k followers on Instagram. If even 1% of them wanted to buy this print and tried, over 90% of that bunch are still gonna end up disappointed. We can’t blame GP for anything with this insane demand. They run a clean site, make incredible quality prints, and are top notch people all around.

0.01% of 171k is 17, just saying, in case children are reading this

I like pez’s work, not to keen on this though.. be interesting to see how many of these go on people’s walls.

Um, I'm certain this was meant to be printed on a t-shirt - underneath, the words, "Your limitation—it's only your imagination."

They already said they reference ebay sales to price vault sales so no secret there.

agree to an extent...but having multiple copies of a print sit on ebay at an insane price for months on end and not sell, cant be positive reinforcement for the artist or the print.  this is apparently with the last collab with whatson and whatson's own connection print.

I’d argue otherwise. As someone that cares about the environment and conservation I like the rhino aspect of it. It’s subtle and represents their endangerment due to the actions of humans. I feel like most people just see trash in the trees and don’t see the silhouette at first.

Three on ebay already, all three from the USA..

Yep, the colors are really well done, the visual trickery isn't as obvious as with other artists that attempt the same, and the message it ultimately tells is one that speaks to me. Three things I like in one print - that's three more that I like in 99,99% of all releases nowadays.
