Our old friend Saajid - a flip out, flipsider and proud.

Not seen him on here for a while

[sausageboonwee]

That set has now sold, I thought he was asking way too much

[Cocteau 101]

I think they were fairly cheap to be honest. They will go for far more in the near future imo.

I agree. The guy flipped them for a quick grand profit. But they cost about £1800 to get here including import VAT so it's not a huge mark up really - certainly compared to the mark up people get on trolleys etc.

I fully agree with this assessment.

[sausageboonwee]

At least the guy flipped them with them in hand unlike the Trolley flippers. If POW hadn't sent out the email advertising the Trolley release they would have all ended up being flipped. The flipping is all their own fault so they shouldn't complain about it.

looking for the new b/m prints but how much is a fair price ? saw one on ebay for 1750 but that seems a lot.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

Not at all trying to be sarcastic with this response but, as much as you can afford.

At this point in time, the seller is asking too much for that print, in my opinion.

I'd say if you can get it for 2k - u.s. $ - or so that would be good.

[lastpost]

They tried to deliver the one that I bought today...£30 VAT/UPS charge. Daylight robbery.

[arcam]

From the latest release?

[taylor26]

they were only for sale to people on there waiting list. you got a email with a link and had to buy that way

[lastpost]

Yes from the latest release. I've bought nothing else from them.
Rapido!!

[arcam]

That was quick. Do they inform you when they've been dispatched?

[absyrd]

They used to have that auto-notification on shipment if I remember correctly. This time I got no word via email about them being sent out.

[arcam]

Thanks J +1

[absyrd]

Actually, looking through my emails, I talked to Jana about something different and it seemed that mine was shipped the day after ordering. The way they pack them, it may take some time to do 'em all, but I wouldn't expect a long wait at all unless you get held up by customs.

[Matt-lock]

I said this in another thread somewhere but Jana told me they were trying to have them all shipped out by the end of last week. And as of last Thursday they had about 1/2 already shipped.

[sausageboonwee]

Got mine today and they look mighty fine. The paper is so thick it's almost card.

[valeha]

Mouth watering...can't wait to get my Aya! Now have to get some money and get it framed, and have to decide how to get it framed. Did think black box frame, but kinda want something special. Any one got any ideas?

cheers

Personally I always stick to hand-painted white - gallery stylee

[valeha]

sorry taylor26. my post was of absolutely no use to you! hmm.. £750 upwards seems to be the going rate for IF prints at the mo. and i know these are a larger edition but i think the price diff will be marginal. esp when you have images like 'in the end' within the set. I'd say pay what you think is reasonable.

Good luck, hope you get what you want!

sounds good, but i've always preferred black box frame to white, don't really know why! I've heard there is a website where you can drop your picture into frames and see what you like, but can't seem to find it. I just want to be imaginative and go for something a bit special esp since I love it so so much! (haven't got it yet..but i know i'll love it even more when i have).

Thanks for the suggestion it is much appreciated and I will have to give it a serious think.

[snelj8]

I think both "two people' prints will look great in a thick black frame -- and much better if you cover the entire white print border.. too bad that would cover the signature and print number!

Is it true Ian's doing a Laz show? After what happened with Micallef surely it's foolish to jeopardize his career in such a way

Why would a Laz show in any way jeopardise his career?

[sausageboonwee]

I'm guessing you're referring to the recent Laz/Micallef sham. The actual show was in LA. I do agree AM's prices have been affected though. I didn't join the infamous queue but it seems there were negative feelings afterwards.

There has been a lot of talk on the forum that he IS doing a show with Laz next year, but like Mike I fail to see how this would jeopardize his career. Don't get me wrong I'm no great fan of Laz but he's far from a career wrecker!

[sausageboonwee]

Did anyone else get an invite for the Laz Zeus show. I haven't seen it mentioned on here yet and I couldn't be bothered to start a new thread.

[sausageboonwee]

I think GIWTBB is one of the prints of the year. Love it.

[valeha]

nah it's gotta be IF's A girl sleeps, closely followed by Aya. I read something on the obey forum that made me laugh...let's see if I can find it again.

It was funny Ian was at the Kinsey opening and he said 'WTF it takes me so long to come up with titles and people shorten them'

man that made me laugh so much, coz i always always shorten them...if i didn't it'd take me forever to say the names!
