Have you tried missurbanite she's got Banksy's that I believe she likes trading with galleries

Why do you always have to be a tool ?

[johnnyh]

As say and have said. No problems with galleries or yours till this but do think you guys should have been up front that it is a gallery buying. So again plenty of posts on this which you and your staff chose to ignore.

You want to call me out if you want me to tell you what you could have done I will ....it's not difficult and you very well know it.

It's easily solved by you guys acting properly you have been on here long enough. So it's no great surprise
Likewise this has been mentioned on a couple of threads which was ignored... You can say you did not see them but not sure she can ......so as mentioned why was there no response

Glad you are changing to stop this

Why am I being a tool?? Members on here should know who their selling too and likewise know who they are buying from.....is a bit of honesty such a bad thing?

This could have been solved threads ago and it was not me who identified Hang up but another
Member who I am sure is a tool in your book.

Likewise have you actually read the oat you said "same to" it quite clearly stated he also would not have been as happy if dealing that way.

Hopefully with the proceeds you can afford to replace those burnt out light bulbs.

Lol Thanks I guess so.

I'm all for clarity and honesty, but why do people care if they are selling to a gallery or individual as long as they are getting the amount they want?

[alexdb]

I saw this piece at the Sotheby's exhibition last Thursday. The image looks great, nice framing and decent price. GLWTS!

I am not saying they do or they don't just think they should know who they are buying from or selling to.

each individual will then make their own mind up. Think that's fair enough or why have gallery, individual, artist listing's...

but they are a gallery and have hidden the fact why? That's the question is it because a lot of their buyers come from here may be.

Howard says not hidden but does not ring true. No response when called out.
if you look at Howard's want to buy posts not only under hang up but also contain his hang up email.

Strangely not one of her 58 odd posts mainly want to buy does she mention Hang up once which is a bit weird Just wonder why?

[mikehaspey]

Is that slight damage along the lower edge?

Nice

[hacks80]

I have one I'm looking to sell- see Art 4 sale. Offers on £1350, COA, as new...

[Balboa]

On the 5th June you told me that you were based in Suffolk, now it is Essex.

Have you moved in the last fortnight?

Talk about trying to put other buyers off. All part of forum spirit I guess.

to clarify, you asked where I was based. I replied Suffolk prior to you notifying me you lived in the area. 

From 9-6 I work in UCS Ipswich but I live in Essex.

fact I work 5days a week Suffolk does class as where I'm based during the week right?

moving on, you then offered to pay via paypal and collect the following weekend which I declined suggesting since you were local (to my place of work) why could you not collect. Why send such amount of money to a stranger without physically inspecting the work. I even offered to deliver if you covered my delivery cost. 

You requested for images of the work and coa which I sent unblurred!



i understand if you cannot meet my asking price but don't play the devils advocate by trying to tarnish my post with your ill minded ideas.

Looks nice framed in white!
So many of these are framed in black, but it makes the image very dark... need to get mine redone!!!

Thanks.

it was originally framed in black but I saw one framed in white and I fell in love and had to get mine changed.

stands out a lot more in the white frame.

[bob60]

Having seen your pics I am thinking that maybe I should get mine framed in white also as it looks great. I have never had mine framed yet.

There really is no exciting sub-plot to this, we are not trying to withhold our identity. Its actually the opposite,  we are proud of our brand and gallery and we are totally open about it!

Again I am sure anyone who has dealt with any post from Miss Urbanite will vouch for this We provide the gallery number/email/address and request that the works are delivered to the gallery.

 I do not think a gallery can have Hang-Up 1 , Hang-Up 2 etc as accounts but your points are all noted and we will only use this account for any 'Art Wanted' posts moving forward .  I am truly sorry that this seems to rile you so much. If you are still not satisfied with the response and would like to call me at the gallery we can discuss this ( PM your number and I will be happy to talk this through and answer any questions) otherwise I am not really sure what else we can say here.

Peace

I dealt with her and I do not vouch for her. I dealt with her in two occassions and was very disappointed both times.

Sorry. I completely agree with johnnyh on this. I can probably say I was the one screaming aloud that missurbanite was hang-up. She tried to buy one banksy print off me offering me exactly 1k less than the price she had on the gallery. Then, two are the possibilities: or she was trying to rip me off, or you constantly rip people off with your hyped prices. (at the time I did not know she was a gallery and she did not state it either)

Moreover, I am one of those that in the past asked for a work by one particular artist, got a reply that they were able to get one soon thanks to their "network of trusted collectors"....just to see their WTB popping up few minutes after my request...obviously all the prices were increased by exactly 500 pounds.


If this is not the "flipping business" then tell me what is that.

And I really think that defending this type of behavior can only be done out of convenience. Since I cannot care less, and I will always prefer to buy from much better galleries such as PA, Castle and Lawrence Alkin, I can state my opinion without constraints.

[Deleted]

Ahaha !!! All people in the Banksy business are into a flipping business !!
I think Johnnyh and others are correct having multiple accounts or playing multiple cards using pseudo suck.
But then in the other side, I don't see any difference between individuals buying/selling/flipping through gallery and individuals buying/selling through auctions... someone here sold a Banksy at record price in auctions and got two page of congratulations, it makes me wonder where is the line ?

galleries come on here picking up pieces then selling them back to 'us', then their workers come on here doing the same, hyping or downplaying, then buying and selling, but it's all okay, none of it matters, it's all good

of course it isn't but you know whatever floats your fucking idiotic one eyed boat

Good post, keep it up..

[Balboa]

I was not trying to tarnish the reputation of anyone, simply asking about the location difference.

Since posting my message however I have received a private message from someone on this forum who tells me that you have offered them two entirely different locations from the ones already mentioned. Perhaps you just need to make your mind up about where you are actually located.

Good luck with the sale, I am sure there is nothing wrong with you or the print but for the record I am out. Not because I cannot afford the print as you imply but because I no longer want it.

[tschero]

I agree with previous views that it should be clearly stated if someone acts on behalf of a gallery and not been pretended that someone is buying p.a. As some people on here might let something  a touch cheaper go to help out another collector and clearly will feel cheated when it turns out to be a reselling gallery.

Think hang up got the message and hopefully going forward will act professional and not let down their brand

[KAPPOO]

[nacional]

Kinda agressive sales policy, especially for an 11th post...may want to work on the soft skills there..just a thought like...

[JAlternatión]

Soft skills work would just waste his time, and I get the impression he doesn't want to have his time wasted.
