[ricosg11]

Man, I hope she doesnt visit the boards.

[Va Va Voom]

Yeah she will be mighty p*ssed you are tellin all n sundry.

[suburbangangstar]

LOL I GUESS SOME PEOPLE JUST CANT PUT 1+1 TOGETHER.
1. KNOWN FLIPPER
2. ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDERS

WHATS THE MATTER WITH YALL? COMMON SENSE TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR? NOBODY IS PAYING ANYTHING NEAR THAT IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. DUMMIES

[ricosg11]

Flipper funny. I must be pretty shitty at it cause my wallet is empty and I have all this art stuff on my walls. The zero feedback bidder checks out, as I have made contact to ensure it is not a waste of my time. Anything else douche magoosh.

[redfred]

Are the kids out of school already?

[ricosg11]

i am the seller and i have 100% positive feedback of 66, and have been an ebay member since 1999. Is this not visible to everyone?

[ricosg11]

I will reiterate...The zero feedback bidder has been contacted and responded. He is a legit bidder in NY and is willing to meet and pay cash.

[gilsteph]

Baconandegg = 66 +ives 100% +ive and been trading since 1999. Seems legit to me :-)

Curious, has anyone seen one worthwhile post from suburbangangstar?

[ricosg11]

thank you. I may be a little selfish and shallow, but I am definitely honest.

[suburbangangstar]

YOUVE ASSUMED RIGHT. KNOWN FLIPPER AND ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDING = FACTS.
I REPEAT USE COMMON SENSE. NOBODY WOULD PAY EVEN HALF THAT IN THIS ECONOMY. A WACK EDITIONED PRINT TO BOOT. SHILL BIDDING DOUCHE

mmmm... seems like your zero feedback 'bidder 8' has only been on ebay less than 1day.

funny how he seems to be allowed to bid all the way to £2800.. thats a big price for zero feedback on an important auction. cash meet or no cash meet up in NYC.

and bidder 8 who has been on ebay for 5 years, hasnt bid on anything else for over 30 days. and nice bidding up the ladder in £100-200 instalments.

i am not hating the seller or the print... just smells fishy bidding and i would be gutted if i was bidding to have the price raised that much.

i would hate to pay whatever price it goes for on ebay then the bonhams auction goes for less.

just an opinion... suppose we will see.

[ricosg11]

do what you gotta do, say what you wanna say. All I could do was start it at .99 cents and sell it without reserve. I know NONE of the bidding parties, have never had any issue on ebay or any of the associated message boards I frequent. I contribute to the boards and the "scene" on a regular basis. To question my integrity is disgusting and insulting.

It seems like you just want to pick this up cheap and are trying to scare folks away with your multiple handles on here. No need to play dirty.

[RBK]

I can attest ricosg11 is a stand up guy, contributor to the scene & has an unreal collection hanging on his walls.

THERE IS A SIMPLE ANSWER TO ALL YOU PEOPLE TRYING TO RUIN HIS AUCTION OR JUST TALK SH!T. EITHER DON'T BID ON THE ITEM OR TAKE IT TO PM IF YOU REALLY HAVE BEEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stjohn]

In ricosg11's defence: he wanted USD6400 (GBP3600) for this originally. What possible motivation does he have for bidding this up? Its not like he's got the other 19 sitting around and will make a packet is it! Just what is wrong with a collector registering on ebay the day before and bidding in 100's to see if a piece can be secured. I don't buy much on ebay at all and have had an account 5 years - so what?

[Va Va Voom]

Subgangsta....you are a p*ick.
Covert...I can guarantee you that this seller is 100% genuine,much like yourself he has to sell various works to progress his collection.
Now leave the guy alone, people in glass houses and all that.....

[nattymatt]

i'm bidding on it....so all the bad mouthing about bull shit bidding is false.....I want this print so end of.
Maybe i should wait and yup, i will be gutted if the other one goes for less at auction but hey ho....shit happens and i'd rather have 3k on my wall than in the bank

[stjohn]

good man nattymatt!

[Cocteau 101]

Nattymatt - very commendable of you to come on and verify your bid for the print, there is always some t**t wanting to fuck it up for others.

I'd be amazed if this doesn't go over 3k to be honest, scarcity of print, scarcity of work in general etc

[ricosg11]

thanks for all the kind words guys. Much appreciated.

[nattymatt]

agreed...bit risky but his prints are rare and you try and buy an original....not possible!!!!!
Parla's a good guy and he doesn't flood the market...ha, well yet anyway..

[weeble]

Yep this print is very collectable / desireable right now. I can totally understand why some would pay £3k plus for this, like Cocteau said, his work is very scarce, and compared to a Parla original, £3k is fraction. Glad the sell is doing well as it's a great foresight as to the future of Parla's work - not that I'll ever be able to afford any of it!!

[Va Va Voom]

Some shameful posts on this thread,I know Rico and consider him a friend so my opinion is slightly tainted.But right is right and wrong is wrong irrespective,it takes slightly longer to READ through someones history of posts, than it does to post crap and call their reputation into question.
Research before you point fingers, it will save you looking like fools later !!

[Francis]

Rico Santa's Ghetto 11, you are going to be a very rich man soon!

Suburbangangster + wank persona + distinctive, arrogant, know-it-all style of communicating + caps lock deficiency = ruralhick

You've never had anything interesting, positive or worthwhile to contribute. All you do is badmouth members you disagree with, badmouth most of the artists discussed, badmouth people whose tastes differ to yours. If this is the only way you can get attention in life, please, do us all a favour and fuk off back to where you came from ruralhick/suburbangangster. No-one new to a community comes in with both fists swinging as you have, so lift the veil, show some integrity ffs and just piss off you sad bastard. (I feel better now)
