theoretical question....by doing this, do they drive the prices up on the pieces because not as many are sold? or drive the prices down because there is less buy/sell activity, less hype?

The price will go up. Collectors hold work for longer and so the size of the available pool shrinks. As more people become interested the demand rises but the available work rises slower so demand outstrips supply.

Can prices survive without the hype? It's the interesting phase where you find out whether people are buying your work for a quick buck or because the genuinely like it. If they like it there is no problem. Part of the gallery's role is to find the people who like it.

in a perfect world the price would go up, but how much of this market and the resulting prices is caused by the flipper aspect trying to purchase low and sell high in the short term?
it may cause the demand for the work to drop more than the selling pool will shrink therefore decreasing prices- it`ll be interesting to watch thats for sure

would like to think this would deter people from selling but guess what, 3000 for a 650 print sounds alot nicer than being "blacklisted" from a gallery you will probably not even go to for another year. and even if that is the case, its not like they remembered your face, so next time they have something the resellers will merely bring cash and give a fake name. now if they start asking for ID when buying prints and paying cash that might be a bit of a start.

Seth is a great guy. I have had quite a few converations with him and he is top notch. Good for them

You don't have to make it impossible, just sufficiently painful that they go elsewhere to an easier target. As this market becomes more stable and proper registers are kept (as Seth is doing) it will become progressively more difficult for the flippers.

Just tell us ;D

[bored with screen names]

I got one but it hasn't arrived yet. Would love to know what you're talking about though!

Rob

You have pm - whats the packing feature mate.

[Cocteau 101]

It must have had brown paper in it - plank. If you ask, reply to the pm otherwise you look like an ungrateful ****!

[Cocteau 101]

Sorry mate was a bit harassed! the doodle might be Nicks signature - whats it like?

[otomi]

Are you talking about the little paper corners to protect the corners?

[gebeau31]

I have a Hollywood - The Morning After print available. Asking $2800 shipped. PM if interested!

Thanks, Court

[babyford]

nice print... nice profit

[worlddomination]

Everything is bought and sold in this world (nearly) and people make a profit, whether you like it or not, so why pick on people making a buck out of the art game, good luck to you mate i hope you get the $2800 you are asking for. Some people on here want to get real wake up and smell the coffee!

How much are you selling yours for then?

I realise this goes on but it doesn't mean I have to like it - especially when someone buys and tries to tout it to real fans within a week of it selling out. Sell it on eBay but don't come here to dangle it infront of us with a massive price tag whilst we're still gutted about missing out on the initial release...

[alsbabar]

here we go again!!

chief and hlarmy, just say "no thanks" and move on, no need for insults. If you are gutted about missing out, then either ask for a kind forum member to sell you theres at cost, or try and negotiate to buy one that is acceptable to both you and the seller.

Fair point, I for one are critical of the amount of agro floating around the forum and here I am joining in!! It just gets to me...

If anyone is disappointed with the print and want to sell, let me know...

[alsbabar]

you should start a new thread, title it WTB: Nick Walker TMA Hollywood - state what you are prepared to pay and see what happens

[G-Man]

YAWN

go back to bed G-Man

Just to clear the air...I have been selling some original art lately, and someone approached me about trading for one of my pieces since they couldn't afford to buy it. I traded the art to get this print after seeing what it was selling on eBay, and hoping I could get a similar price for it. I did NOT purchase this directly from the gallery solely in an attempt to flip it. I don't know if that makes much of a difference with some of you...but thanks for the name-calling anyways.

I'd personally prefer a green pop tart at that price! Better quality and smaller edition!

[colonelkurtz]

$2800 shipped - that's cheap (in the most sacarstic tone i can muster!)

TBH...i wouldnt pay 2800 for any print...but if i was too...it wouldnt be a TMA

[gebeau31]

Wow, you found me...oh so terribly impressive, since last time I checked, I wasn't hiding. I signed my first post, and my last name is my userID. Very impressive detective work, indeed. And yes, I often buy stuff to flip if I think I can make a profit and then use that money towards OGs. That doesn't change the fact, though, that I did NOT buy this print directly from the gallery. I traded a $2000 piece of art for it. Feel free to contact Carmichael Gallery to see if I was one of the original buyers of the print.
