Massive overreaction sales thread, by Balboa on Oct 11, 2014 16:39:24 GMT 1, Long story (relatively) short: My last two potential purchases have been nightmares. First I buy a Hirst print described as 'mint' which arrived creased. Seller said 'not my problem' and I had to fight through paypal to get a refund (following an expensive condition report payment). Today I made a 5-hour round trip to view a Banksy print that had a chunk taken out of the border and tape marks on the reverse. The seller told me, after a 3-hour journey that he hadn't even looked at the back, despite telling me that there were 'no problems' when I asked him to confirm before my trip that the front and back were in perfect condition.
As a result I am having a tantrum and selling what's left of my collection. As they say on Dragons Den, I'm out.
Banksy colour trolley hunters with pest control cert.
Ben Eine Scary with COA.
Ben Eine NUDE editioned original with supporting documents.
Invader Home Mars with POW confirmation email.
All professionally framed to the highest standards and hung away from direct sunlight. Banksy has UV glass.
I'm happy to meet anywhere within 50 miles of Cambridge if you want the frames. I will post everything other than the Banksy if you want unframed.
Best offers before the end of Tuesday wins.
First person to ask about the condition of the prints gets slapped.
Photos to follow.

Besides that: Sad to hear you are out..... I can understand after reading your story but perhaps you should take a breath and take a long think about it before posting a for sale thread with some stunning pieces...

Because it's already been more than two years since my last purchase!

But if you view them as art you love that makes you feel good it doesn't matter if you "collect" - I don't expect to buy prints for the next 10 years but unless my tastes change I like the art I've picked up that decorates my walls. |
