Can we get a guess on what this will go for on the bay? I love the print and I am glad I got a copy, but what is the market for an artist (no offense to the ripper) that is basically born out a small group of peoplles' fascination with the same world renowned artist (Mr. B). Does anybody see this going for more then cost?

[dave313perry]

Yeah this will go for mure, im sure. The image is highly regarded and a great version, easily worth the cost price and theres enough people who want one...watch this space, if not il eat a big slice of humble pie! preferably apple

[affart]

Seeing as it was offered to forum members as a kind of exclusive why not offer it to someone on here before blasting it on the bay...

Its a bit dissapointing to see it listed on ebay already when there were quite a few people who wanted this print & missed out & now your selling it!

for future reference just post you are selling it to make money instead of the old skint routine...maybe try www.moneysavingexpert.com/

cracking idea affrat, maybe Martin can start a thread on his site for this subject.
But on a serious note a great site for finding the best credit card deals, especially if you don't mind being a credit card tart

Affart, I agree with your sentiments mate, however I think you owe Sway a bit of an apology. If you check backwards on his post you'll see that he did offer it up on this forum, but it seems no one has taken up the offer.

[affart]

He put it as pm offers, why not put as Cost + postage?
To sell it within a month is pretty bad, especially as it was a forum deal.
I will give him 1 respect for offering it here previously but maybe best in future to check what you can & cant afford to purchase.

[craigmccluskey]

there u go mate im biddin on it would go nicely with my green one

Cheers stuey for the words, appreciate it mate. I did indeed offer it up to ALL forum members last week before listing it on ebay. And responding to a different post with regards to buying what i cant afford i dont for a second belive that i am the only forum member that sometimes gets a little carried away with this art addicition we all on this form have.
I didnt buy the print for capital gain i bought it cos i liked it, the harsh fact is liking it isnt goin to pay the bills, Is it?

Not trying to stir up trouble, and I don't have a problem with "flipping" sometimes, especially when the money is needed badly.

However, your post makes it sound as though you offered it to everyone here at a good low price and then decided to offer it on eBay when you didn't receive any offers, when in fact you had told me after I offered you £100 for it (about double cost) that you had received plenty of offers and highest was £145.

For not wanting to rid of it and not buying it for capital gains, to refuse much more than twice the cost seems a little peculiar to me. Again, I have no problem with selling a print for profit, just prefer people to tell it like it is. No offense hopefully.

[affart]

That sounds about right ritedere, so basically purchased to flip over with a cover up on the Cant afford it routine.
Maybe future forum offers could exclude the flipper & therefore hopefully a real fan who wanted the red crucipod would be able to get it.

+1 for stating how it really is

[stuey09]

Well spotted ritedere. I retract my previous on this thread. I was under the impression that it had been offered at the same price.

[bibop]

its at 46 pounds att he moment. witch is above cost. and the reserve is not met.
minus?

[finsburyparkranger]

If I bought a print that was a nice friendly forum deal and then became genuinely financially broke and had to sell it for top dollar only one month after, to be honest I would discreetly put it on ebay and certainly not mention it on the forum. It would be a bit rude to the friendly seller and embarrassing all round. I don't know why people do it? There is one thing being open with a price for all to see even with a little mark up out of necessity and another demanding closed bids and going for the jugular so soon after someones has just basically given you a bit of a gift. Its just rude.

[bristolmassive]

well put finsbury

[bored with screen names]

Ended at £137 with reserve not met. Exactly how much are you expecting to get for this?

[carlito]

137 and it was what £50 originally? .... that's a damn good mark up

[bristolmassive]

it's only a good mark up if you sell it!
Shame this print didn't go to someone who really wanted it
Turning down 100 nicker is just plain greedy.

[finsburyparkranger]

As Bejoir rightly put it on a recent piece ... "GREED".

[mred]

Just got my credit card bill, on day I brought mine it was £62.20 all in to the uk so could have easily doubled his money. May be Sway rated it highly and hence put a high reserve on it.

Suspect fact still a few Green Crucipods available for a lot less put a few people off. They have got to be a good shout especially as still fairly small run size.

I am off to eat 11p bake beans on toast for a couple of months so I keep my Crucipod away from ebay!! Only joking, whats worrying me is having enough money to build a few more walls for all the prints I have recently been tempted by ;D ;D

[gbh]

yep, sadly not a good approach.
looks like the respect score is reflecting this.
I would of been happy to bid on this if it was sensible, Especially considering the other colourways can still be bought.
