Miss Bugs & Frame (Damaged), by manchestermike on Jul 20, 2009 21:19:26 GMT 1, I bought this piece in February from Art Republic for ยฃ350. They refused to sell it to me unframed because I was new to them. They wouldn't post it so I had to arrange a courier. Their packaging was shoddy which resulted in the glass smashing during transit, causing damage to the print.
What an absolute joke!!!
(Them, not you)

i've just added another miss bugs sale to my original post. i've also got the bronze edition of 10 if someone wanted the lot.

Miss Bugs & Frame (Damaged), by rosstierney on Jul 21, 2009 13:34:56 GMT 1, i know! the artist proof was actually a secondary market purchase from france that arrived in that condition. i have considered letting the cap go but there's a few other pieces that i was going to try & let go first.

Miss Bugs & Frame (Damaged), by Martin DK on Jul 21, 2009 21:26:58 GMT 1, Ahh sorry to see the photos, how unlucky can you be? Really loved this release, but I didnt win the chance to buy on back then. 
Still an amazing print, eventhough they are damaged though. If one is going extremely cheap feel free to PM, would love to see one of these in the flesh.

Miss Bugs & Frame (Damaged), by Martin DK on Jul 29, 2009 10:45:28 GMT 1, does anyone think distilled water, a tea towel & an iron would remove/improve the creases from the gold a.p.?
I would try, you got nothing to lose, but a lot to win. Just be careful.

as far as i'm concerned, it wasn't the couriers fault. you should have seen the packaging!

i spoke to miss bugs at the time who said if i have no luck with art republic they would see what they could do but it turned out there was nothing they could do. they had a lot going on at the time too so i suppose that didn't help.
