Some nice stuff, bit pricey - esp Eelus canvas!

[manchestermike]

I'm sorry, but are you joking with those prices!

[affart]

Looking at the bottom of the list i got mixed up with the two artists & thought you had offerings from Fred west!

[carlito]

real boom times for online galleries eh

[Pure Evil]

"Banksy, Antony Micallef, Insect, Eelus, D*Face and many more..."

wow what an original line-up ! straight outta POW !!

[carlito]

do you think?

[reados]

welcome to the forum and prepare to be slaughtered, you are the second new gallery to post here this week, the other one has been abused and beaten into submission and his prices were a little more reasonable than yours.

cheers ;D

Hi,

I'll add, as you may know you are always taking a risk on eBay with authenticity and condition etc. Whereas we offer a professional service and have invested highly into a professional website, hence the higher than eBay prices.

Also, unlike that other gallery we have pieces for sale, which are in stock and our site is not dominated with the likes of 'sold out' or 'POA'!

Regards,

Kean Hughes

Yes, but I bet you buy all your prints on ebay ;D a) otherwise you'd have signed and b) you'd have older prints and c) they're not available anywhere else.

You are, in effect, a much more expensive ebay. (online sales site)

[carlito]

....£650 on ebay (or less) where you can enure the buyer give you full providence details....or an online gallery for £400 more...hmmmmm

[mwjm0]

You can't call yourself a gallery. You're not representing the artists or giving them a percentage of what you sell (i assume). This is like me putting my prints / art online to sell and calling it a gallery. This is no different to buying prints to make a profit on ebay. Good luck though!

All my prints from POW were bought by myself from POW, all original paperwork is included with the sale of each piece.

Furthermore, I built up this collection from a few older Banksy's which I sold last year in order to be able to diversify the selection of artwork for sale.

I'm no website expert but I hope you haven't invested heavily into it - I could have knocked that site up for you in a day easily... and I'd have put you a shopping cart on it... Really hope you didn't pay a lot for it... seriously

However - it is nice to see no POA prices, although they're well out of line... I'm sure many of the eBayers can offer just the same service too

The only site you need www.artopsy.co.uk/

Gallery fight ;D

[carlito]

where's Harry Hill when you need him?

[funster]

True galleries (in my fickle opinion) don't just jump on the back of established artists but help them get there in the first place. I have a few in mind such as Elms Lesters who are first and foremost nice people who like art and helping artists. Also I think that the semi-clued up/non-sucker buyer is fairly safe on the Bay with ref to prov etc, especially with the Banksy forum help!!

[neutral]

From the about section : "Our aim is to give our clients one site where there is a diverse mix of works from the leading contemporary artists on show at affordable prices."

No offense to you but defenately not affordable, £1300 for a Micallef SMS !!!

Good luck in your venture.

[sausageboonwee]

That is the most expensive unsigned Soup Can I have seen yet. Nearly £500 more than Campbarbara. You will not make any friends on this forum with such blatant p*ss taking on the Banksy front. I wouldn't however go as far as saying your website was a who's who of POW. You do offer a larger selection of artists so some credit there.

[steve]

actually the only site you need is www.hipartgallery.com :-)

thought i'd get an account on here as i heard a rumour there was a bit of banter about my new site.
i know it has some pic issues and the POA's are coming off. wasn't going live until this weekend but due to this place i haven't had a chance to add all prices and sort out some picture issues.

reading through posts regarding my site, just a few points as i've been missing out:
1. i love the 80's, so if its cool, sweet, lush, then its hip...so leave my name alone ..... at least its easy to remember :-)
2. someone said it isn't easy to navigate.....WHAT!! it's bloody child friendly! What do you want....a printed out catalog version delivered to your door that you and the wife can browse through at your lazy leisure?
3. We accept offers on all our works....so if you think the price is high offer us a lower one
4. We have over 160 prints in stock thank you mr keano. we'll remove the sold ones when we can be arsed.
5. only 2 of our prints are originally from the bay...these being sold on behalf of friends of ours. we DO NOT use ebay as a source of buying our work. ask for proof of purchase of all our works.
6. we DO NOT use ebay for our price guides....thus prices do not match prices on ebay (as i said though we accept offers).
7. we look like a charity compared to keano's prices!!
8. thanks for the MANY of you that joined the mailing list, and the positive feedback from the large majority :-)
9. i'll think of one and get back to you.

now get that ex doctor with the big collars on the phone!

interesting debate. seems to be sliding into the flippers versus re-sellers debate (there is an interesting take on this on the Obey forum). Not too much difference imho between someone who has a pretty site and someone who uses ebay to sell things. I am not saying this is bad, I have sold stuff on the bay. But it does seem that many people here get automatically pissed off at someone selling prints to make a buck. Hey, if you want to pump you prices up, do it. I too think a lot of stuff is overpriced but you'll figure that out when nothing sells.

[mcnuts]

All you need is Ebay, the Ebay group and a few fan boards such as this great place! An example: Artopsy has the Baldwn Politics print at 475. They are on the bay for BIN 310. I sold one to a forum member for 250. Similar deals can be found from Nuart (re his Applause for sale) as well as swaps.

check out gallery prices as opposed to ebay. our prices are cheaper than most. our aim is to target that audience.
by the way, we have micallef SmS at £910 .....anyone wanna pay £1300 at keans place?
