I'm sure there were some of the posters on ebay for higher prices before this person started selling (I'm sure I saw an auction or 2).
Just a guess though as to who this person is...

Your right. The posters went on Thursday last week for 10,50 to 46 GBP. Klansman went for 46 and David for 41 GBP.

I just got my set of 4 today - sent a cheque to the museum shop for £45 and they were sent out within 3 working days and nicely packed each in their own tube with no damage. I went to the show the week after it opened and don't think these were out then....

I love the Klansman print. This and the David posters work well on paper and in their own right. The Riot Copper poster dosn't work as well IMO because you don't see enough of the composition or the animation of the actual piece. The Dorothy dosn't translate well because the whole thing is about it being on metal which it obviously isn't!

This said, I'm really pleased with them - nice quality prints, thickish paper and some nice colour.

The museum address is on their site and I believe they have plenty of stock left. Well worth a tenner each.....

Cheers,

Jamo

Just had an email from the ebay seller.
He says he is selling them to stop the flipping... but didn't say who he is.
I've bought a few things, so we'll see!

Why is the postage so high?

To cover their extra time and effort?
We'll see when the items arrive.

[doublehelix]

And ebay fees I guess. Keep us posted happyshopper.

Had an email from the seller, monkey parliament posters should be on sale at the museum today or friday.

[Happy Shopper]

^ I got that email too. And that they're £10 now, so I got refunded £5!
All seems legit.

[alsbabar]

the monkey parliament posters are £15 (they are bigger in size to the others), so i suspect, given that you mentioned you bought a few items, you got a refund for the shipping?

[chrisps303]

I got a £5 refund, sellers says monkey parliament is only £10.

Makes no difference to me if the refund is for postage or poster.

[discoduster]

I've just got back.

The Parliment poster is onsale but for 15 as it's more expensive to print apparently.

I spoke to managment who said they DO NOT sell on ebay and they were told they weren't allowed to anyway from the start.

[discoduster]

Interesting morning. I was first in the queue but when I had finished in the shop the queue into the first room was jammed so I went straight upstairs where is was empty and disturbed a scruffy looking bloke putting a bronze rat in one of the cases, he scarpered sharpish.

[alsbabar]

did you pick up a Monkey Parliament discoduster?

[doublehelix]

All very confusing!

Yes thanks

[bazzj04]

was it heavy ?

[Happy Shopper]

Odd that the ebay seller knew they were going into the museum shop the day before they did.
But got the info on the price correction wrong.
... or the museum shop is the one who didn't know about the price change?

[discoduster]

It is a bit odd. Mind you they swap the staff around and some of them don't know their arse from their elbow so you're bound to get conflicting stories.

I asked if the Monkey Parliment was limited and they said "yes, they all are".............probably to 50,000 ;D

I have a brain after all

[discoduster]

Oh and they are now supposed to just sell one per customer so maybe they are running out.

[rdl81]

one of each deisgn or one in total? Sorry for what seems like a silly q but going at the weekend and if I am only allowed one i will need to start thinking about which one now!

[bazzj04]

Anyone frmaed any of these yet ? If so lets see a pic?.

or just trying to stop the seller on ebay.
if they're unlimited i can't see why they wouldn't reprint, if they're selling them at £10 a pop it's got to be worth reprinting (you could get thousands done for just a few hundred quid).

the ebayer seller was wrong. They have been in the museum shop since Monday :-) they are £15 because they are bigger than the others. They have only been issued with 100 posters so far, hence the 1 per person.

[alsbabar]

they have been reduced down to £10 fragile, hence the £5 refund to happyshopper and any others who bought from the seller

[buffin]

Think I must have followed you into the shop discoduster. Did you see the clown sitting on the ledge outside?

cheers :-) I want a refund from the museum shop then (*joke*). I would have paid £50 for it, maybe more

[discoduster]

They are not aware of the seller and just insisted they do not sell on ebay.

Posters limited to one set each.

The Monkey print is deff the best imo

Were you the married couple mate?

The clown got put there last night.

Had a nice chat with a worker who apparently helped setting the show and he had some good stories . Also, said the show probably wouldn't be able to be extended as half of the stuff is sold and a lot of it is borrowed
