You can buy from cost price on the bay, so you’d have to be really crazy to buy at €8k but you never know.

Wow. That's a real bargain if you live in the EU. (damn you Brexit!)

A seller celebrating his sale at cost minus fees... I wonder if he buys NFTS too?

Worst.

Flip.

Ever.



What a t**t.

For flippers surely 😅
…but for collectors:

Best .
Buy.
Ever. 
(for a signed DH) 

I bought one on OpenSea for $2.5 k 😎

I doubt someone that flips for a living (or just for extra cash) is worried about selling at cost or even a small loss... they just take back as much cash as possible, and put it into another flip.
As long as they're up overall they're not so worried about every small loss.

Once the dust settles (which may be years away), I'm pretty sure The Empresses prints will rise in value the same as most DH prints.

Tempted to grab a nft deed to go with my physical I’ve purchased (still awaiting shipping notification) but it’s so confusing. Anyone else feeling like a geriatric 😂

[samzola]

Love this work!

[jamesd]

So is it fairly safe to say that nobody in U.K. has received their physical Empress yet?
I see a few keep popping up on Heni IG stories but they do not seem to be any U.K. recipients in there…..
I’ve just got the standard Heni response., aim to ship by mid May, etc.

I guess that does imply that shipping is random like Heni said. I’m also still waiting. I ordered a couple of hours before the deadline.

[tonys]

Shipping is random - mate has received theirs in Sydney and ordered the last day on the sale. I ordered on the 1st day and still nothing

[Stinky Pete]

Arrived 3 weeks ago in New Zealand so Maybe they doing it in zones

[klyde]

First world problems etc, but getting impatient with waiting and email watching.

Getting spammed to absolute buggery on my Gmail account off Paypal for some reason so each notification is just a click and disappointment.

[sevrin]

Just had an email from Heni regarding delivery times, apparently now some shipments may be delayed for up to another 3 months! blaming.............Covid of course, how many more years will companies blame Covid for there problems!

Also saying '.... In order to prioritise delivery of the physical Empresses editions, the redemption window for the associated HENI NFT Deeds will open three months later than initially planned.'

Yeah, same here. Possibly delayed to increase interest and stimulate the market perhaps? I don't see covid being the issue here.

[Greyhound]

Well that Heni email was an emotional rollercoaster. Went from thinking I might have it on Monday to hoping I'll have it before August in the space of about 10 seconds.

I agree. Covid is such a lame excuse.  I thought these were being made in the UK.  Or am I wrong? 

Shortage of glitter more like.

[Poster Bob]

First-world perspective. I wouldn’t assume that all of the materials used are obtained and manufactured in Germany, where I think the prints themselves are manufactured.

Have they thought about emptying their vacuum bags ?

[Random Ginger Bloke]

About a third of physicals dispatched already according to heni. There was no way these were gonna be ready for 5th May

Spot on the redemption date has now been delayed to 5th August to allow for the physicals to be delivered late.

[Acme Thunderer]

I never bought one of these in the end, but for those who did, I really hope (and fully expect) that Heni will send something extra as an apology for anyone who has to wait after 5th May. It is the least they can do considering this.

I don’t expect them to do anything personally. Things happen, it’s a extra few months. no big deal really.

I’ve requested a refund.

purely because of the delay?

Significant delay to the agreed timeline. I bought the NFT on the basis of the stipulated redemption period.

I personally feel they have got too greedy… they continue to focus their efforts releasing other artwork, instead of honouring contracts for which they have already taken money for. If they have to pay extra to get the materials they need or employ extra staff to get the job done to the agreed schedule, they should do it… or lose the business.

I think you are completely within your rights to ask for a refund, but because the current price of the NFTs are lower than the original price paid, this could open HENI up to too many people requesting refunds (as they don’t want to lose as much money). This makes it a more complicated scenario. It’s why I think they may offer something as goodwill.

[Poster Bob]

Releasing what other artwork? I haven’t seen or heard a thing.
