Faile - My Confessions FS, by Zippy on Jun 4, 2009 12:49:37 GMT 1, Are'nt you 'taking the piss' a bit by asking for 2k for an edition papermonster run?
your listing cleverly makes the potential buyer think its an original as you do not mention its from an editioned run but instead promote the fact it has hand finishing..
Mint condition hand painted & screenprinted Art Print.
"A beautiful full sized Faile for your collection, complete with all the usual splatters and stains!"
I know you will come back saying that is does have hand finishing etc.. but I believe as a genuine and knowlegeable collector, you should include the edition size etc.. in your listing.
Here you go.... edition of 170.....

Faile - My Confessions FS, by silvermyn on Jun 4, 2009 12:56:16 GMT 1, That's fair enough zippy but most people into Faile know what they're looking at here.
I don't think johnstonamerica was trying to misslead anyone. He's a decent guy with a lot of Faile in his art collection.

Faile - My Confessions FS, by Zippy on Jun 4, 2009 12:59:36 GMT 1, Wasn't he?
People on here may know but what about those who buy on ebay?
Let's not forget there is a world outside this fourm and as a 'decent guy with a lot of faile in his collection' he should know better.

Faile - My Confessions FS, by Zippy on Jun 4, 2009 13:01:56 GMT 1, Who gives a fuck on how many pieces he has.
All I am asking is that the listing reflects the edition size so there is no 'confusion' for the lucky buyer who forks out 2k of their hard earned dosh for this.

Faile - My Confessions FS, by graeme501 on Jun 4, 2009 13:05:47 GMT 1, i agree that it maybe the listing makes it sound a bit more than it is, but hey, everyone wants to get top price for their screenprints when they come to selling, and nothing on the listing is untrue
anyone who bids on it who hasnt done their research as to the price is equally if not more so to blame for paying too high a price
also if u look in the bottom picture, it seems to contain the rare 'faile pube' which always increases the price by quite a bit

Faile - My Confessions FS, by Johnston America on Jun 4, 2009 13:24:38 GMT 1, Oh goodness!
Zippy, I'm surprised you don't know me better than that?! Haven't we discussed Faile on occaison over the years? I would never try to misrepresent any piece I owned.
I'm a little surprised that you would accuse me of "taking the piss" Wow.
As far as the 2K goes - It cost 1K directly from PM - and I'm certainly willing to listen to reasonable offers. They've sold for over 1500.00 in the past...
Totally missed the inclusion of the number - but I assumed since I put "limited" in the title, and mentioned it was "numbered" on the back that anyone would surely know it wasn't an original.
Anyone who has ever taken the time to speak with me or ask questions would certainly know I try my hardest to be a very honest, fair, and friendly person.
Will amend the listing immediately to include the print number -
My sincere apologies to anyone who felt mis-led in any way, certainly not my intention in the slightest. I guess I just hurried too fast through the listing, though I tried to remember everything. 
Have a great day everyone

Now take a breath zippy and count to ten 
If you're on eBay doing a search on "Faile" you probably know who they are and you probably are aware of the releases they have done. No orginal would be on eBay with a BIN at $2K unless the seller is a fruit cake. Any buyer can ask questions if they are uncertain about the status of the print.
The reason why I mentioned that he has a large Faile collection was that this editioned print is at the lower end of the pieces I've seen him selling over time. It probably never even crossed his mind with this one to spell out the painfully obvious. He certainly has not listed it as an original 1/1 so I'm not sure why you're so upset by the listing.
IMO he is definately not trying to rip anyone off. Take it easy, I'm sure he'll edit the listing to make things crytal clear.

Faile - My Confessions FS, by holden on Jun 4, 2009 13:59:14 GMT 1, Sh1t zippy I think you're going to be a very busy chap monitoring oversights/minor misdemeanors with sales on ebay!!
However, Johnstonamerica isnt that kind of fella, as I am sure you know.
There's a price on it and he's clearly stated he's open to offers.

Faile - My Confessions FS, by Zippy on Jun 4, 2009 14:49:45 GMT 1, OK I have taken a deep breathe as suggested by Silvermyn and on reflection I may have come over a 'little' harsh.
The listing has been amended so that's the end of it.
If you thought I over-reacted then I apologise.
Sorry.
