I put the offer in USD because it sounds bigger than in GBP. I thought about using JPY but that might be going a bit far.

I’m not sure if this offer is too high or too low but this is what I can afford. I’m getting a tax refund and a bonus from work tomorrow so thought I would try to spend it on something that I would love rather than blow it on retirement savings.

This may be the only time I’ll have this much money.

If anyone wants to sell, I will give Nola good home.

It must be in perfect condition with all the right papers.

Thanks, Mike

5257GBP, Thats a seriousely good offer, I would have thought about 4.5k would be in the ballpark but prices have been on the up lately so who knows. I have a White Nola and a grey felt tip if its any use!

[kennas]

That to be fair is a good offer. Finding someone that is willing to sell is the difficulty! Good luck!

[mmmike]

Sometimes I think I would be better off buying one of those canvas versions form ebay for $50. I bet they will do any colour rain I want.

[silvermyn]

It's a fantastic offer for a first post MMMIKE. Maybe too fantastic...

Would you also happen to be looking for a Happy Choppers?

[kennas]

LOL!!!!!

[alexnh123]

MMMIKE, are you Bojangles under a different name by any chance? This is all looking a bit suspect don't you think....

[mmmike]

Don't know who Bojangles is, so no. I’m Mike from Toronto.

I have an art collect worth more than $500USD! Yes that is correct 500 big ones.

Not only would this be the most expensive piece of art I have ever bought, it would also be the most expensive anything I have ever bought!

In general I’m quite cheap and this purchase would make me broke so I’m not interested in other expensive prints unless it is a crazy great deal.

If the offer is “suspect” or too high I would be happy to pay less. Make me an offer. I can go as low as free

[silvermyn]

Damn, I was going to give you cash on top of a print

Good luck finding one and double check the background on it just in case. Don't part with any of your hard earned until POW have confirmed the seller is the registered owner.

[mmmike]

Thanks for the tip silvermyn.

Yes I probably should have mentioned all that. The other thing if it is coming from the UK I need to figure out the shipping and paypal stuff to make sure I’m covered. When I say $7,500USD that is the to my door price including all expenses.

[mmmike]

I would also do $4,600 USD for the white rain version if I can't get grey.

[sug]

For that price you could buy a white version and a couple of unsigned Banksy's to boot.

Hi Doug, I'm interested in the print and I wish I could go to BC. I have never been, but I don't have the vacation time and it is a crazy expensive trip. If you want to help me validate the condition (pics) and authenticity with Pest Control of your print, I'd be more than happy to do a deal through paypal / Canada post. Interested? Or if you plan to come to Toronto anytime soon, that would also work.

Let me know.

And can someone tell me what is so strange about my posts? I'm just trying to buy a print, why is that so strange?

[alexnh123]

funny how Mr Bojangles has gone all quiet all of a sudden.

[chrisps303]

Is this thread for real, or as i suspect just another attempt to talk up prices.

Where is arab? Surprised they havnt made a comment on this thread.

[stevieray101]

all the negotiating could have been done via pm, why the pda?

[mmmike]

Wow what a tough room! I can under stand being suspicious about a sale that is too good to be true but I’m trying to buy. If it is such a crazy offer why doesn’t someone just sell me the print? Anyway a side from the part about me not getting to buy a print yet, I find this whole thing very entertaining.

But can someone please tell me who Mr. Bojangles is?

And Sevieray101, I would love to do things through pm but I have not received any offers yet. I have only sent one pm here. That was to alexh123 to find out what she was talking about (the Mr. Bojangles thing). I have not got a reply, or maybe i have and just don't know where I would check for a reply on this site?

Haha - the million dollar question! (or perhaps £15K ish...)

Have a read of this thread...

urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=53694&page=2#661968

Basically a grey rain Nola got stolen from Art republic. The day after this was made public you came along with a very tempting offer for one. I think some people may have thought you were from Art Republic (like a certain Mr Bojangles appears to be) and your offer was thief bait.

To check your PMs, click on the letter icon at the top right of the menu bar - it will be flashing red if you have one.

Best of luck in your search for a Nola...

[mmmike]

Thanks Spirit. That clears things up a bit. Still not sure why someone wanting to buy would be suspicious, coincidental sure.

It would be nice if alexnh123 wasn’t so quick to make baseless accusations / insinuations but not a big deal it has made my first experience posting here way more interesting.

Sucks that there is one less out of the edition of 63 that I can buy. But no I’m not related to any gallery although I did just recently buy a print from Art Republic online (Dolk Finish Line). Coincident? Lol.

btw I am still looking to buy a Nola.

[schlomo]

Two less out of the edition of 63 that you can't buy sorry Mike.....




any excuse....

[spirit]

Well, the offer looks a bit suspicious because it is such a good one. It is not unrealistic to think that AR might want to tempt the thief out of his hole and this might be a way of doing it. If that were the case, then the offer would be bogus as you would have no intention of actually paying the money, you would just be trying to catch the thief. Under the circumstances, and considering the timing, I think alexnh123 was not being unreasonable to ask the question she initially did - although her follow up comment was perhaps pushing things a little.

You'd be surprised how often people try and manipulate the system by posting under multiple accounts, and it makes sense that people are suspicious of certain kinds of posts.

[mmmike]

Understood Spirit. I agree it would probably be quite easy to try to create a temporary market where there isn¡¦t one. Just look at Mr. Brainwash

In this case I¡¦m just trying to get someone to sell me a Nola print ƒ¼

[Warm Gun]

mmmike, why are you having a conversation with yourself under a different name, jimdugin.

You're clearly the same person. What are you trying to achieve?

[Sohoria]

looking at there IP addresses different from each other....s

[Warm Gun]

Easily achieved, still quite surprising though.

[Sohoria]

agree different laptop be different IP but seems like to much hard work lol... s

[Warm Gun]

It does, yeah
