Faile - Buy Now, by dirk on Jul 3, 2008 18:44:00 GMT 1, Still up this evening at 6.40.
Any thoughts on why this hasn't sold out in seconds? Price? Image? Edition number?

Faile - Buy Now, by iAmCxxx on Jul 3, 2008 18:48:42 GMT 1, Slightly off topic here but I bought one of these on monday and although I've got my Paypal receipt and the money's certainly gone I've heard nowt from Faile yet. Is this normal? Am I being paranoid?

it's a pre-order, plus you only have a paypal receipt for 'normal' faile purchases....

A little I think. This print is a pre-order at this point, so I wouldn't expect anything immediately.

ยฃ600 for an edition of 315... plus it doesn't look up to their usual screenprinted sexiness. For that reason, i'm out.

I loved the image at the Tate but I'm just thinking there's way too much colour and detail for the size of the print, I guess the onscreen preview is too small to get a good idea. Will wait til mid August when folks' start arriving and hopefully then pick one up near cost on ebay if I like.

really gutted about missing the Brett Hart original........

Faile - Buy Now, by iAmCxxx on Jul 3, 2008 19:31:40 GMT 1, It's all about the 'relief print' aspect that's going to be a winner with this. We're not talking pushing ink through screens here...we're talking cutting 25 different magnesium plates and then stamping each individual colour. I may be wrong but the screen image is not the print. The print is going to be amazing in it's finish. ยฃ700 quid is expensive maybe...but not for the technique used. It must be costing them dollar and plenty time to get the plates ready and that's why it's delivery in august...
Anyone got a 25 colour relief print on their wall at the moment....?
Seriously, when the reality of this print hits people are going to be kicking themselves all the way to the bay...

Faile - Buy Now, by bunnyboy on Jul 3, 2008 19:35:37 GMT 1, I think genuine collectors may choose not to buy one of these for any of the reasons you mention - they're all valid. However, it's sad to say it, but I think a large proportion of the market is made up by flippers and I don't think they're biting on this one. As it's so expensive, it's quite a risk, especially as it's a large edition and with the market being as it is at the moment. I think putting off the flippers was partly what Faile wanted to achieve with this one (along with a nice bank balance  - I'm guessing that's why it's a pre-order system too. People are less likely to buy to flip if they have to wait almost 2 months (and more than 1 credit card month) before payback.
Personally, I bought one and can't wait to see it. Love the piece at the Tate and think this will be a nice way to remember it.

Faile - Buy Now, by dirk on Jul 3, 2008 19:35:48 GMT 1, Still think you can pick up a Fight for ยฃ600 on ebay which is a fantastic price taking on board the better image, hand finishing and smaller run size. Expect to see these snapped up sooner or later.
I am glad I got my Confessions now as I think it will appear a right bargain in 6 months time (my favourite image and I don't think I could ever part with it!)

I think you will see the next Banksy signed print around the 2k mark from the off. The days of people being able to buy something for pennies and sell for big bucks minutes later are well over.

I don't have a massive art budget by any means but anything that means I would have time to buy the prints I like without having to resort to hours spent refreshing a web page / eBay would be great.

What exactly does the word 'relief' mean then in this case? Is it slightly raised ?

The boxers are poop. If I had the money I would but the BIN print anytime - it's a nice looking print and I am sure in the flesh it will look 10x's better.

Faile - Buy Now, by themightyreds on Jul 4, 2008 10:12:30 GMT 1, A guy i work with had his fight vanity print arrive yesterday and its a real cracker! I'm gutted i missed out on it.
That being that, i can only imagine this print being equally as stunning in its own way when it arrives.
& I think its great its still available as at the price it is its given people time to make their minds up about how much they want it.
The fact that the fight vanitys are only selling for about ยฃ100 over cost, and that it won't be sent out until well after the credit card bills are in are probably whats keeping the flippers interest in this one down.

It's not my favourite Faile image either but I would love to see one in the flesh due to the technique and the fact's it's the Tate image.
It's an affordable way to have some of Faile's trademark torn stuff on the wall too.

Faile - Buy Now, by angryboy on Jul 4, 2008 10:24:19 GMT 1, And are flippers really part of the market as someone said earlier? The market is the end buyer not the chain it's gone down to get to them. There has to be at least one end purchaser for every flipped image so they don't add to demand/the market, merely act as an inefficiency in the market.

why in the name of god would you think these would be sent from INSIDE the UK?!
the FAILE studio is in Brooklyn ffs!
and, again, FAILE always have marked prints as low value so you may not be charged VAT

- I'm guessing that's why it's a pre-order system too. People are less likely to buy to flip if they have to wait almost 2 months (and more than 1 credit card month) before payback.
