Urban Art Association

Close that pie hole lurkersutd (vera lynn). You just got owned.

Fail to see the hypocrisy you mention but as you see fit to attempt to pick the bones out of it then I'll elaborate:

1. I had to sell pretty much everything I owned last year as my house flooded with other peoples piss and shit and I got knocked by the insurers. Not nice.
2. The mighty mo went to trevorm at a loss to me but it was beautifully framed and had sat in my Daughter's room for a couple of years. She now has a Tilt Peach (framed).
3. The Borf has sold after being framed and on the wall for a couple of years now. We've enjoyed this print, on the wall.
4. I was the original buyer of the Shep in 2007 and sold it on the basis that if the buyer ever sold it, then I'd get first refusal. In the end I bought it back in ? 2010 then changed my mind maybe a year later?

There is no comparable between my history and your actions here, you're shamelessly trying to gain as much change out of this as you can. If I've made a mistake, then please excuse me. As you've articulated above I am a little 'slow' so I hope everyone can forgive me for this.......

Three observations, ignore them if you like.
First, chill out people maybe. Both of you are good contributers to this forum.
Second, freerange, do you really need to get involved and try to increase tensions? 
Finally, I can confirm that Afr1ka passed his code for the last faile release on to me rather than buy the print to flip.
That said, I bow out.

Great idea about giving to charity! Well played I hope you both follow through.

Yes agreed. I got involved in an argument with someone on this forum a few weeks ago. He's a trouble maker and now posts under one of his different usernames but I feel that I let myself down coming down to his level and regret some of the things I said.

Now both of you.....CHILL THE F**** OUT !!!

Never a fairer and sensible comment been said.

dont we all make and lose at time.. With the addition of certain forum members who buy things to sell on to other forum members at cost ( one such I have benefitted by - not by selling on.. But by looking at every day?)

not one for me to get involved in really.. 

G

I agree!
Not to mention, it seems that Lurkerstud/Vera Lynn can't follow the rules.
One he seems to break often.
(He's brought this kind of negativity to more than one of my sale/trade threads.)
Silky has made it very clear:
Rule No #7. Don't hassle or abuse other members if you don't agree with their price. If you don't like it, don't buy it! and just leave the thread alone.


Good luck with the sale, J.
I've seen his HF Evolution and it's a stunner, folks!

Just wanted to say Hi

Just wanted to say that I like to see threads like this.
It has a good a bad and an ugly part.I like to focus on the good.
Vera, I really think you're on the right track now.When you wrote your last post on this thread anyhow.
Please follow through on your offer to donate the proceeds to charity/those who need it more.
More users are starting to think like this now and it should be encouraged.
You are right to get angry about the greed and superficial elements of this urban art scene/industry but you've let that anger out in the wrong way.Please keep thinking about it.
Afrika is a good member and can do what he likes with his print.He was lucky to be in a situation to buy the print so what will he do with his luck?That's up to him.
Vera, I hope your hangover wasn't too bad.
Afrika, Good luck with your sale.
Jboy, You can mend the bad parts of your reputation, concentrate on the good parts.

Why would AFR1KA sell this for cost when a market value has already been set? If he sold it for cost, the member he sold it to would only and up selling it for a tidy profit eventually, if not immediately. Plenty of sharks on here. I'm sure if a real life friend or someone he trusted wanted it then he would cut them a deal below market value, if not at cost.

Einstein, I agree that afr1ka is a thoroughly decent chap. But you are not right in your assertion that everyone on this forum flips. Sorry, but I couldn't let that go unchallenged.

At last my time spent talking nonsense on here might pay off !!
Not so keen on Dolk though... what else you got ?

It's a good idea, but don't shoot yourself in the foot. Get what you want for it IMO.

Love it mate !!!
Ha ha great idea !!
I need to get a few more stars

Relative newbie here.

How does a member earn stars? Is it based on the number of posts written? Financial contributions? Helping maintain the site?

Curious minds want to know ;-)
