unit london originals release, Paul insect, Helen beard etc., by sleepyl on Jun 13, 2020 10:13:56 GMT 1, They got too many inquiries, so it will become a blind auction. The team will reach out to ppl next week who made an inquiry and ask what is their max bid, and so on. Highest bid get the art work.
That's more money for charity.

I can understand the thought of giving more to charity, but I think that would piss a lot of people off.

imagine the logistics of emailing each group per item with updates in bids... nightmare. if your doing a blind auction for charity there are plenty of simpler ways to do it

not sure about that - I got this reply today
"It’s wonderful to hear from you and thank you for your patience. We have received nearly 1,000 since Thursday and they keep streaming in.
Unfortunately, the works you have expressed interest in were already sold. If there were other works that caught your eye, please let me know and I’ll do my best to assist.
Moreover, if you would like to be kept informed of new works that come available from specific artists, I can make sure that happens for you. Hopefully we can find you something very soon."

unit london originals release, Paul insect, Helen beard etc., by The Rat King on Jun 13, 2020 17:49:07 GMT 1, Looks similar to the Calleja release through avant arte . If you are friends or a strong purchase history then you are to be favoured one would imagine as it’s purely down to the gallery directors discretion.

Then I think a lot of people will get pissed. This info is direct from the gallery, which I called Friday.
I don't know the guys working there but the person I spoke to was really nice and they do it for MSF, so as far as I am concerned, nothing to be pissed off with.

And btw, I am not part of their friends or long-time collectors so I will prob miss the only art work I enquired

unit london originals release, Paul insect, Helen beard etc., by sleepyl on Jun 14, 2020 10:40:51 GMT 1, So it's not a blind auction per say. I actually got an email from them and they state the highest offer they have received for the art work (in my case, it was already circa 3 times what was advertised initially). So sadly I am out :-).

This is such a stupid way of rolling this out. They can inflate the price as much as they want, create fake bidding wars, hand pick who it goes too. I enquired about two pieces within 30 seconds and haven't heard anything. I despise releases with a lack of transparency. I think a boycott is in order |

Sounds very odd. Why call you? Were you offered the piece you wanted at the price advertised or asked to make a bid?

umm
I say ‘Skyped’ but was actually WhatApp! I’d given my number as part of the enquiry and no there was no discussion regarding uplift: He asked if I was still interested and to where to send the invoice. No aggro but really helpful....Stated that there had generally been lots of interest and ‘congrats’

What an odd and amateur way of running this and approaching customers in this way. Surely they anticipated this shit show. Wonder which of the j's this idea was? But then again they 'exist for U' etc so it'll all be okay.

Imagine owning a store and someone comes in to buy something and you're like "cool cool, Im just gonna wait and see if someone will pay more than you. Come back tomorrow and I'l'l decide if you can purchase it."
The Jago is up to $1500 for whoever is wondering. Why didn't they just have an auction? This is so dumb.

unit london originals release, Paul insect, Helen beard etc., by hugheslow on Jun 15, 2020 5:18:01 GMT 1, This whole fundraiser is turning into a farce. I enquired about both the Paul insect and Philip Gerald piece and I have gotten the same response asking for a higher offer. Here’s the weird part, my friend enquirer about the jago piece too and his “higher bid” was $2000, and mine was $1600? How much of a to and fro will this need to finally have a winner?
If this whole thing is going to be a silent auction, when is the end date/time. This is all very unprofessional and it just seems like they are pulling random numbers out of a hat and replying collectors with what they want to sell the pieces at. Zero transparency and I doubt they will post the final sale price too.
Good luck to those who managed to get pieces without “bidding”
