They went quick!!!

Lucky I got one ;D

i dont normally say things about prints unless its constructive but i dont really think much of this, especially for the price.

yeah but we have seen your taste in prints so you don't count!

i think it is very very good. missed it though...

What Jboy said - too expensive, shrewd move by Faile tho' get ordinary folk to pay for an image they haven't physically created yet and won't post out until August?

I have several takes on this:

1) They think the global economy will suck so much that they have no confidence they will sell their wares at this price in August.

2) The Bank Manager is banging at their door at the size of their overdraft and they need to raise some working capital sharpish

3) They are taking the piss.

4) They are trying to stop 'flippers' - although given the price and the edition size the potential upside might be limited as this forum seems to be a barometer of 'demand'.

5) They will make the 'next one' a deferred print with 6 months lead time - then close down.

6) They haven't finished it yet but still want to raise cash.

7) Another reason.

Think that was the only Buy it Now print released........

Do think it's a great image, just in relation to the price of this versus the price of far smaller runs it's too expensive (I.E. you've got sinful pleasures, edition of 2 for $4000.) But this is about how much you like the image, and whilst it's expensive it's more affordable to people who don't / can't spend over £1000 on Faile and has to be priced in relation to what the secondary market demands.

i didn't get one, mainly just being careful with what i buy and what i will put on my wall. but the more i look at it, i think its a great print. 21 colour screen?! thats just awesome. and i think being linked to the enormous tate piece i think it may become a memorable and desirable print for collectors - if you're a big faile fan its probably one of the ones you'll want to own.

they've released a nice collection of stuff today. well exciting.

or 8) this is the last mass print release, big sell out show in oct and we'll never be able to afford another faile original print again. £103,250 for a canvas at phillips de pury yesterday. Even this large edition could be quite a steal in time.

I am surprised that they are still available

On the chance Frankie is correct - and I have to think he is on this one - I picked one up. These were showing sold out for hours this morning. possibly they held some back or had some released after they sorted all the early orders.

Buy Now Available AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Not to make too fine a point of it, but every popular release has the prints pop up a bit later, whether 7 mins, 20 mins or 12 hrs, because there will always be many assholes who put stuff in baskets they have no intention of buying, just because they see it as some kind of game.

I think this is one of Faile's best screenprints and I'm glad I can't checkout through Paypal or I'd probably have blown a large sum on one that I really can't afford! Well done to all who grabbed one, I think it's a beauty and I'm not usually a fan of most of their images.

mmnnn.....must be seen in person to appreciate i suspect....i think the finish on tender will be much the same as some of the black rat press prints a la walker, d face....fight vanity on the other hand has hand finishing(acrylic and coffee), its a different finish i suspect. image wise its up to the viewer, personally i think fight vanity has more going for it . and it was on a wall in palestine where as tender is on a wall in london....

You can get a Confessions for less. Quality print half the edition
