Still not here 34 days after paying!! That blows the 21day delivery out of the window!!

I thought it was a 28 day delivery service, anyway, blows that too, you could of course ask for your money back, but I think I know what the answer to that will be.

i got my giwtbb today. whats the deal with the foam packing at the ends? this packaging is just a joke.

the tube had no dents and looked in perfect condition so i thought i had gotten lucky. then i open the tube and the foam pieces have been pushed up inside the middle of the print and bent the corners. on both sides. it would have been fine but for the foam.

You're right cbl, not asking for my money back, but it is getting somewhat frustrating that it hasn't arrived yet!

I guess you will be waiting a few more days yet...

I cant believe how many are being sold and not just on EBay in the past weeks, But by forum members "selling for their Mates". Why all the fuss when it was released then sell out when the 'car needs fixing'. Its a stunning image and the fact that its going down in value at the mo only strengthens my love for it. I wonder if this is why some are being sold? Maybe its not the investment some had hoped it would be. Maybe 'Micaleff's' fan based is very much smaller than we thought and the 'investment market' are buying into his work. I mean...I would hate to hazard a guess as to how many GIWTBB have been sold and some of you poor guys have'nt even received your's from POW.
It's all f**kin Wrong, Man!!!

I strongly suspect that there have been a number of people who bought multiple copies. After all they were for sale for 30 mins before selling out, and then more were popping back up all the time. This gives you plenty of time to get one in your basket, buy it, then come back for a second bite at the cherry.

So it is perhaps hardly surprising that there are lots for sale at the mo. Don't forget it is an edition of 1000 so there are plenty around.

I will all calm down soon and the prices will gradually start to rise again in a couple of months time....

If its never worth more than its original sale value, I couldnt care less. This is one I keep for life.

Aye!

Lots of copies, lots of people who bought just for sale got hands on them and lots of people willing to buy 'cos they want the print and missed on it.
No surprise there. It is always like this.
And if you're wondering how come so many on ebay-please. That's how it is these days and will be-no matter what kind of system are galleries and print houses will come up with.
The only example I know of where it wasn't such case are Micallef 'Girl in the red dress' and Neate 'Self portraits' as they were sold only or almost to people who were on the special previews and were buying originals at the same time. However imagine this would be the scenario every time some prints would be released-it would be just totally impossible to get hold of for majority of fans.
I don't entirely agree with the whole flipping thing however there is at least a chance to get the print you want if I missed on it. Blah, blah

GIWTBB is one of the best prints of this year for me.

Hey, thanks Andy - was in the framers for 2 1/2 weeks - was expecting to get mine back quicker than Carlito LOL - <shakes fist at MrFrameman and his efficiency>
Size of it, Was a bugger to get in the car. ;D

[klyde]

I pick mine up on Wednesday. Its a plain black wood frame, about 2.5 in wide, with a 2.5 in grey mount. I'll post a picture when I get it.

[Ron Goldsurfer]

Left mine to the framer today. The frame will be made of oak and I will hopefully be able to pick it up in 2 weeks. Really looking forward to the moment when it is hanging on the wall.

[cashman]

Yep......still waiting

[snelj8]

FYI, I sent Dora an email about sending mine back due to creases, she mentioned they just received their final batch of the prints, maybe that is why the later purchasers are still waiting?

I just got an email from Dora today explaining that the final batch of prints have just arrived and that they are due to be signed Monday. She says they'll be sent out no later than mid week next week but we'll just have to wait and see. It's been a long one.

[redfred]

Just picked mine up from the framers and to put it mildly its staggering, I was a bit iffy about it before it was framed but not any more, went for a slightly distressed silver box frame and a single black mount(cant post pictures yet) and its the dogs bollocks,because of the size Ive had to do a bit of rearanging which has meant putting my HFUNG in a much less prominent position,thats how good this is! So for everybody waiting for delivery or to get it returned from the Framer hang in there as its well worth the wait.

[ak47tos]

For everyone that's still waiting, mine has arrived today and I was told that mine was one of the last batch, so I'm guessing the remainder should be out by the end of the week at the latest. It's a big old tube, but I haven't been able to look at it as I'm at work. Can't wait until I get home.

Good week for POW they delivered on all fronts.

[jonpud]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOFUCKINGRAY!!!!!

[jonpud]
