I’m breaking up a The News portfolio.

Price is 15k USD per print and that includes pp fees and shipping within the US.
$14500 if paid by wire or PP Friends and Family.

Already have a list of interested parties and currently working down the list, sending out invoices. Once the invoice is sent each party has 24 hrs to pay and pick. Or else its onto the next.

If anyone is interested please PM me but please be patient, because I expect this to be fairly time consuming.

Prints 1,2,4 are taken.

WHAT A DEAL!

... dealers and gallery are offering the set for $120k, it makes 13.3$ per print...
Kaws bargains on the forum in the last few days...

[NYart]

They surely wouldn’t split the set for you for 13.3k though.

Is enough to organize a buying group of people, once the $120k amount is reached, one person buy the set, and all the buyers will have their print at $13.3k... not that difficult

If you bought the set at launch and held on, it's pay day.

I’d disagree with that not being that difficult, that’s certainly not something I’d be interested in arranging. But regardless I don’t think it’s absurd paying a 10% premium per print to avoid the complications and hassle.

I think the problem with splitting these sets is you get 3-4 prints that you can tell work great individually, but then are left with a few that don't work great alone. So pricing them the same really makes no sense at all. The 4 taken should be higher then the ones clearly nobody else wants.

Very true, that was part of my thinking why it was the premium was justifiable. He’ll likely be stuck with a couple that he’s going to have a hard time moving. Likewise if you wanted to arrange a group to buy a set and split the cost equally - your going to have a hard time getting the last few to sign up to take a less desirable print.

Why would I pay the same for the last choice?

[alk]

[alk]

I am not breaking up the set at cost.
Why?
Because it takes time and energy to do so. And because there are risks involved such as chargebacks and disputes not only with individual buyers but also the source.

But don’t worry because basic economic principles will create a fair market, so all these exercises in “what if” are a waste of time.

So back to the sales thread, my value and risks have been priced in so if you would like a print thats left for $15k usd shipped to your door please pm.
I can take wire or PP gift for $14,500 as well. Other then this price is firm.

[Express Post]

I need these to sell for the op's ask. The result will boost the value of my set.

[Express Post]

Giving this a little bump.
Come on everyone, step right up, don't be shy. These are really awesome and worth every cent of the $15k.
It really is a fair price.
