good luck anyway

I don't wish you good luck - I hope you get this god awful colourway stuck well and truly up your backside and lose money.

Punt it out on e-bay, not here, shocking lack of self awareness.

This forum used to be, and should still be, an art collectors resource not a medium for you to take the piss out of other members.

[skem]

so did you work out a print or commission you have always wanted? maybe your lady does not want the print on the wall? you realized you had some big bills to pay? could you show me pictures of this print? is it in hand?

[thehighlife]

Overnight shipping! Nice Job KAWS! Will be here tomorrow!

[lifeonwalls]

This forum is funny. The only difference between this FS thread and all the Choose Your Weapon "send me your best offer via PM and hope that I'm honest" threads is about 3 months time.

Funny that timing is, just like in comedy, apparently everything.

Kaws is shipping these overnight, so he'll have it in hand tomorrow.

And no, I don't have one.

Good luck mate but it doesn't look good for you....

What I don't get is the price you want? There are at least 4 on the bay for $1,899 or less buy it now.

I guess that if you want what that brings net you should ask for $1,650 -by taking away the ebay fees (buy it now which are 10%) and the paypal fees since I think you want that amount net.

Otherwise, I don't really care about the flipping.. But you should re-work the price.

[Deleted]

The percentage isn't relevant - it's the act itself.

People flipping the Banksy print aren't 'a multiple' more or less out of order. The release of the CYW was a shambles, POW tried to make people good and they still got the piss ripped out of them.

The difference here is one day after release.....just stick it on e-bay rather than on a 'community' forum rubbing people up the wrong way who would've liked to purchase at cost?

IMO.

[Winter]

Would prefer a CYW but you are right.

[gibbin82]

I do not agree with flipping at all, but can't see all the fuss over this particular example. The seller is asking about half as much again of what he has paid for it, which for a flipper is quite reasonable. Compare this to the Dran colour Learning to Fly's, Slinkachu Animal print with concrete Ocean books and ROA rabbits being flipped by some well known forum members for up to four times the cost, within minutes of them being sold and often before they have been sent out. I personally believe buying things you have no interest in other than the profit is only artificially increasing the prices for everybody and as such in the long run benefiting no one interested in art including those who flip to buy the things they want, because as the price goes up of the ones they don't want so does the price of those they do.

Also noted on this thread that there is a lot of negative comments regarding the KAWS print, it also doesn't do anything for me and nor does any other of the KAWS stuff. But as art like music and beauty is a personal thing "in the eye of the beholder" could someone please try to explain to me what is the attraction of this work, go on try to convince me.

Tut tut tut, the forum police will come knocking for you soon.
You should have waited a few weeks and then said
"big purchase" or "girlfriend doesn't like it" or some other such acceptable excuse.

[Deleted]

But by then the interest, as well as the ink, would've dried and you'd be more likely to be nursing a loss (perish the thought...) so best to knock it out as quick as..........

Dran prints were a great example of lemmings at work - if you bought at the top (from a flipper) you've more money than sense.

Chancer looking to make a quick buck, right place, right time and all that.....difference with CYW is people had to queue all night to get one and didn't flip on an art forum 2 days after release. Shameful behaviour....go to ebay where there are less scruples. Best of luck, you'll need it for this cr@p....

You sure about that?

[artylang]

Pm's replied to. Some interest below my asking. My price is firm. Fedex runs well over $100 on this.

thank you for your comments and interest.
