Just realised my shipping was DHL by text and not FedEx by email.
Back in with the "is mine being shipped?" crew as opposed to the "is it going to get trashed?" crew.

I am still in the charged but no email of shipping confirmation - anyone else still in this boat?

Same here, still nothing but got the "phone mail"

Nothing yet but got the phone email. Considering the email said they needed the phone number to complete the order, I guess that they shipped all the 'complete' orders first - probably in batches. We'll no doubt get confirmation in the coming days.

I got the email requesting confirmation of my phone # as well as FedEx shipping email after that. So I don't know if mine qualifies as complete or not but it would appear they're all shipped out

So from the information you have, you don't know if yours qualifies as complete. BUT it appears to you that ALL the prints have been shipped out?

Jeepers. People do talk sht on this forum sometimes.

I'm just saying (and trying to let you down easy) it's not looking good. Clearly mine doesn't appear to have been "complete" but has already shipped a day ago. Common sense would dictate they're all in tubes anyway so all they have to do is slap an address on it. Why would there be a 2nd batch of non-phone # tubes and a 2nd trip to the post office other than to keep the dream alive of forum members who missed out?

[Art Fan 2011]

Keep calm people! Who needs an email anyway - if your payment went though you correctly entered you shipping info (unlike many) and you've not heard anything with regards to a problem then sit back, relax and await your print

[Pattycakes]

My payment was taken from my account yesterday, so I expect that there are going to be a couple of Fed Ex runs.

You're not letting anyone down. You don't know and clearly are just worrying people unnecessarily. A completely pointless post.

I didn't get one and am disappointed. But you're just a poor man's posterbob worrying people for no good reason.

Wild speculation. Mine was addressed properly, had the phone email and replied.
Your saying I should be worried, cos I don't even feel close.
It's one thing speculating on print values and drops, but speculation about invaders logistics is a new one

[.dappy]

... I did not even see the buy button ...
... I did not have one in my basket, and could not checkout ...
... money has not been taken from my credit card ...
... I have not received a confirmation email from orbi ...
... I have not received a delivery email from fed-ex ...

... BUT WHAT does it mean?

[niss]

Yup seems like we have a pretty big boat - also got the phone email but no shipping confirmation yet. Card was charged.

Don't think there's anything to worry about!

Ok you keep burying your head in the sand. If I were posterbob I'd be trying to flip you the print.

[Art Fan 2011]

Whether you get the "phone" email or correctly completed the details in the first place,I am yet to hear of a single refund since release day (apart from a couple right after the drop for odd reasons) - this is despite some trying to spread rumours that it was a "three fold" oversell....

They will not be asking your phonenumber just to cancel your order.

Check list:
Order placed: check
Phonenumber email : check
Creditcard debited: check
Fedex shippingconformation: take it easy and give them a few days to ship everything out

I'd rather bury my head in the ground than be unnecessarily worried about something I can do nothing about. Numpty.

My shipping went from due to arrive by July 6th, to arriving today ...

That's OVERNIGHT from France to the US

Wow

I woke up to the crazy update. I'd have rather had it held at a location .. now I'm stuck at home waiting

i think we discussed this on about 20 pages.... :-o

short answer:
high demand

This has been talked about and highlighted on this board relentlessly for 6 months. Its massive long overdue price correction for an established and legendary artist. Combined with low editions, limited supply with a rapidly expanding international fan base. Add in the more established gallery shows and multiple higher auction results. All combined to form the perfect storm to push Invaders works into another dollar bracket. Invader is on a new level now (Rightly so as Im a massive fan of his work for many years regardless of price).

As many people have stated there are more shows and more auctions coming up this year. There were a lot of bullish Invader collectors calling $10K prints this year 4 months ago.. that turned out to be some what incorrect. $20K+ prints is more realistic. Crazy yes. But understandable no less.

...or? It's two guys with a lot of money and little sense that starting paying over inflated prices for all available invaders setting off a reaction that caused the entire fanbase to pump up the prices with some buying now out of fear of invader pieces going full banksy,
Or so I may have heard from a few reliable sources

2 guys huh...sounds realistic mate

Do your reliable sources wear tinfoil hats ?

[touchdowntodd]

There's 1 euro collector, 1 euro gallery, and a group of Asian collectors snatching things up, working to control the market

And it's working imo...

Altho you could argue that Invader is a strong second to the B man. .. some argue ahead of him. So perhaps it's just also his time in high pricing is long overdue

Actually no. It's fun to write smart stuff about why things like sudden price increases happen for an artist that has had a consistent gradual increase but it's just in part self indulgence. But carry on and dismiss as it doesn't matter to me. Mate

You have to realise that saying "trust me I got this from reliable people" is worth nothing. No one knows you, or these reliable people. In essence your statement has the same value as saying "my dog told me"

There are obviously several factors at play here, like in every art market, vested interests alone do not explain it, any more than sudden surge in the fan base

[docean]

$8500 eBay listing now gone; but I don't see it under "sold."

I wonder if they did a private deal.

Sure! I don't completely disagree but Im also not asking anyone to trust my me or accept my claim without evidence. I also wouldn't accept what I'm saying without evidence. I've seen the grab with my own eyes and was told it was only the tip of the iceberg. Truly I have no reason to make this up but sadly it's the Internet and as you say, nobody knows me.

I think there is some truth to galleries having influenced the price (Taglialatella Galleries in NYC is an example), but it ultimately stems from the fact that Invader is one of the most significant artists of arguably the most significant artistic movement of the last several decades.
