That piece is wild!!



General question for the knowledgeable people of the forum: is there any info on Bast's artistic process and/or his printing technique? Any videos, articles, books, anecdotes?

[floubi]

I had own one of the 4 of these, it is beautiful and I regret not having it anymore.
The COA is also nice!
Fortunatly, I still own another one from Bast (that I'm keeping)

Thx man, appreciated 

[vic]

Probs his buyer dropped out. Good on ya for calling it out

[analogtrash]

Okay let me clarify what this guy thinks is a scam. I like this piece, I have been trying to raise the funds. I have told him this for 2 months and he has been free to entertain any other buyers. I told him I should have the funds by Christmas because I was expecting a better bonus that ended up being shitty. And all the while, I’ve been trying to come up with his full asking price of 6k while he turns down lesser market offers. Finally, I get on here and see this post. So feel free to believe I am a scammer if you want, usually scammers take things from people, I’ve done nothing of the sort. I was as clear as daylight that I was trying to raise funds the entire time.


I would not buy from this seller after this.

EDIT: Thanks to a fellow forum member for offering me another one at 4k pounds. 

Hey Arturo, remember when I mentioned that I had over 4k ready to go in November, but I probably could get your full asking price of 6k by Christmas? Thanks for posting this morning and helping me see true market value for this piece is clearly 2k pounds below your asking price. Merry Christmas. Next time seal up a good deal when you have a buyer on the table rather than being so greedy. 

[analogtrash]

Nothing false here mate, your friend in this thread has made a fair offer, stay pissed and good luck finding someone to pay over 4k. Merry Christmas. Feel free to show us all in the thread where you marked this item as held or sold. 

[Arthuro]

I have no friend on here that has a crème fresh and believe me if it would have been the case it would have been posted on here for a proper sale .. So now please leave the adults alone and go lie somewhere else / thx ur done here mr trash

[Londown 01]

Maybe mutually (!) agree to publish your PMs?! The way this is presented, nobody can have any idea of what went down ...

[Arthuro]

What went down is that this guy promised to buy the piece and when the date for transaction closing arrived on 23rd of Dec he never answered back despite numerous messages from me asking for at least a response ...
He ended up letting me down while the piece was reserved for him… He only woke up being very responsive when I stated here that he was unreliable and not trustworthy that s it.

Now he is pretending to have bought the same piece at a lower price while there is only 4 worldwide and no other sale live on UAA … weird innit

I am myself only interested to sell this great piece to a fellow collector that truly appreciate the artist and so on so please only contact me and participate to my thread for that matter. Thx

[Zippy]

I am sure analogtrash will be happy to post a pic of it on arrival.
It is a stunning piece and with so much hand finishing, it will be great to see it.

[analogtrash]

Here are the messages:


beginning Nov 23 and ending December 5
>>>Hello, what are you asking for this piece?


/////Hello,
Thx for your interest, I am looking for 6 to 7 k€.
Already have loads of interest only posted about an hour ago.

>>>>Thanks man I do like it an think you are looking for a fair ballpark, just trying to see if I can come up with the scratch. I am in US, what do you reckon it would cost to ship here?

//////You're welcome ! Insured shipping in economy would be around 55 euros sent rolled in its original tube.
It would be more around +100$ if sent via Fedex or DHL in express.
I usually (when sending to the US) ship it as a gift to avoid tax and duty, with insurance at its value though.

>>>>That is very reasonable. I am trying to sell a few things to get closer I have about 5k together trying to find a bit more to make it happen

/////Yes indeed, I believe we should take economy shipping which still arrive within a week or so.
OK that sounds good, please let me know your final position when possible as I'll need to revert with other buyers.

>>>>>Thanks arthu. I am having trouble coming up with the money, I’d happily pay 6k if I had it available. If you are able to wait until about Dec22nd/3rd I get paid right before Xmas and I could pay the full 6k for sure at that time.

///////Ok well noted 👍
I can wait until the 23rd no worry as long as I can trust you on this one and you can commit to buy it at that time.
I will be able to ship it promptly and you should have it early January if everything is well confirmed by then.

Messages Resume on 12/22
//////Hope you are well, I am touching base as we are on the 22nd/23rd.





After not responding for ONE DAY, Arturo posts in this thread that I am a scam and sends me this. 



/////Ok you re a scam !
Thx you ll be reported tho.. don’t expect to sell not buy here anymore.
Would have loved to meet you in person ..
GFU


After the post, I responded in this thread. Following that response I received this Message from Vic


————Hello, I have one which I would sell for a lot less than $6k if you're interested. £4k I'd let mine go for. I'm London based.

Cheers


Feel free to decide what you think is real. This guy has nuked his own sales thread. He couldn’t find a 6k buyer other than me trying to make it happen, he never marked the piece as held or sold in this thread. I’ll take it on the chin as a time waster on this one but I have good dealings for over a decade on this forum, I wasn’t going to let this guy try and call me a scammer after this. I was still planning to buy the damn thing until he went nuts 2 days ago. 

[Arthuro]

Well you forgot the messages sent to you left without answers while you were connected on the forum the whole time :

Dec 22 indeed :

Hey Clayton,
Hope you are well, I am touching base as we are on the 22nd/23rd.
Cheers,
Arthur


Dec 23, 2023 at 10:33am
Do you have the funds available ? Need to proceed by year end.
Thank you
Arthuro


Dec 23, 2023 at 8:13pm
Need an answer now please.
Otherwise I will have to relaunch the sale ..
thx

….

[Arthuro]

And stop being so confused between sterling and dollars please 4K£ ruffly equals 5.2k$ … And I have the first one on an edition of four which constitues a premium too… so 6k$ is a fair price
