People are starting to bid on this..........do they know something or are they just taking a punt ?

Any further news on provenience ?

[bond]

i imagine a mate of the seller got the ball rolling then others start to see it as legit . Maybe i 'm just cynical but it's not for me .

[mammal2]

It must be shilled! You have to trust me. Rubbish! Someone is going to loose a wee bit of cash on this one. I fired off around 20 messages. No reply. Also Mark has faxed me the prov which i will try and scan tonight. POOR! Nice effort though!

[ThursdayFeeling]

I've sent a few messages as well, even asked if I could come and see it, as I work around the corner from Shoreditch.

No reply

Agreed. I have also been met with silence from the seller despite numerous emails. Too dodgy to part with such a large amount of hard earned.

[bond]

Likewise- maybe their email is broken can't think of any other reason .But silence infers guilt and leads to doubt !!!

[mammal2]

STAY AWAY! I feel sorry for the people that are bidding now! Bye Bye Cash!!!

The boys are on the way around to your house!

[becksaboo]

yup, sellers refusing to answer questions, no response. Auction price is going up rather swiftly too.

[verbalkint]

she replied to me once, but not when i replied to her reply (if you know what i mean. here is her email

hello
have had huge response so sorry for delay.
steve at lazinc has authenticated this piece, he
actually hung it in exhibition.
for more details please email me.
sorry for the general message - cannot reply to
everyone individually it would take days! more
pictures to follow..... if needed. also there is a
possibility of viewing but obviously only for serious
customers. i am open to offers.......
carly

so i asked for pictures and the specific provenance and she has not replied. I would imagine she has got hundreds of messages over this, but if i were selling a genuine item i would not care how many i had to answer to get the best price possible.

mammal - best avatar ever. what's the story?

[mammal2]

tis off you tube. some fuck wits dancing to crazy frog!

[carl]

I have emailed a few times now but no response . Someone believes its real cos its at £2500!? Maybe thats just a friend . This could challenge the A/P soupcan with how many times it gets listed in a month!

[dave313perry]

iv had a response, a general message sent to all questins which stated it has provenance from laz.inc with the piece, if this turns out not to be the case then surely its a police/ fraud matter if it goes for upwards of 5k, i would think anyway? maybe mammal2 knows abit more about this than you let on! o doubt it but wouldnt you just kick yourself if this goes for 3k and its turns out legit!?!? somehow i doubt its authentic but theres always a chance, anyone been in touch with Laz.inc seems the obvious thing to do

[corblimeylimey]

Pulled!

[andrewd]

Had to get pulled, i mean to say if she has really spoken to Laz about it I am sure that he would have offered to buy it at least half the going rate say £50k. and then sell it in the gallery. Would make no sense just trying to get £5K for it on flea bay.
Any legit seller would have responded to questions so all could see on the listing.

[verbalkint]

ha ha effing ha

the dizzy tart just sent me a message saying if i would like to buy it she will consider offers around the £150,000 mark!! Who the eff does she think i am, steve lazarides!!
It just goes to show that there are some proper, proper nuters out there. and as for the bidders, assuming they were genuine, i find it amazing that there are people out there who will bid on things without knowing what they are! I wouldnt say that they deserve to get scammed, but i will definatly say that my sympathy is very limited if they do.

[daz205]

sometimes big gambles pay off if you have the cash to gamble and pay on collection then why not

[verbalkint]

fair point daz, but if you gamble and get burned, dont complain about it later.
would you say thats fair too

i'll say it, they deserve to get scammed . no seriously, i would always sympathise with someone getting ripped off but if something appears to be a steal and your gut instinct tells you it's schnide, then you take a punt on it in the vain hope your getting an absolute bargain, then of course you deserve to get burnt.

those that don't know any better need looking out for, it's the overly optomistic prospectors that i couldn't give a rat's about.

[verbalkint]

I have to agree with you.
I am a novice in so many fields of the art world, but i know i am and i would never be too proud to ask for help or advice. Far too many people run into things head first without doing any research and yes, if they get burnt they have no one to blame but themselves.

i was just trying to be PC, but lesbianwednesdays hit the nail on the head. respect +1

[carlito]

what was this bid up to prior to being pulled?
