ADVICE: sent double prints, by trevordc on Jan 25, 2011 0:37:21 GMT 1, Hi,
I was wanting to get some advice about a print i received.
I bought the print from the original printers, I finally got around to opening it up to have a look.
Low and behold there are two prints in there, both are numbered (different numbers)
Where do I stand in relation to owning the duplicate print?
What would people advise I do in relation to who to contact or approach the situation.
Its since been sold out and is a long time after the print release. I always knew what the print looked like so just kept in flat as it came.
Legal obligations etc.
Regards,
Trevor.

There may also be a duplicate with the same number once they realised it was missing

ADVICE: sent double prints, by br1stol on Jan 25, 2011 1:00:24 GMT 1, Do you really need advice on this?
Whoever sent out the print/s - be it gallery or artist working off their own back, made a mistake here. You paid for one, you received two. Their mistake entirely, so you cannot be blamed for feeling a little sense of justice in keeping both prints for yourself (or making a profit from selling the other...)
But really. You know that the print isn't rightfully yours and so in this case i would say you have to do the right thing. Contact the seller and let them know your story - i'll guarantee you that they will appreciate your honesty. And that is worth more than a few bucks and bad Karma...
Unless, that is, it is an early Mr B signed POW release, and in which case you need to send it to me immediately for safe keeping.

If you get given too much change when you go shopping, do you just pocket it and walk out? I know what I'd be doing.

ADVICE: sent double prints, by boaty on Jan 25, 2011 1:39:18 GMT 1, Hi, ....Low and behold there are two prints in there, both are numbered (different numbers)... Where do I stand in relation to owning the duplicate print?... Its since been sold out and is a long time after the print release....
as they are both numbered and long sold out - may mean someone else ordered and has in hand a same print w/ the same number as you...creating a potential future issue for the printer, you (heirs?) and the rightful owner...the "end results" permutations are so great in a situation like this - it may be best (and the right thing?) to formally contact the original printer (the only other party you have contact with?) and let them know...
the universe is a curious and living being...and, we are all cells in that being...doing the right thing can hurt or it can help sometimes, but it is generally a great neutralizer, in either case...
BUT...somewhat echoing, a previous poster...if it's GWB or Laugh Now...the universe will be ok....I could take good care of it while you ponder a decision and PRAY...it would have a good home and a nice frame, too...and friends and family would visit often ;D

ADVICE: sent double prints, by naughtyshorty on Jan 25, 2011 5:32:00 GMT 1, for me this is a complete and utter no brainer. The print is not yours, you didnt pay for it, you received it in error. Simple as that. Contact the seller and send it back. Think how you would feel if you were on the opposite end of the spectrum.
And as others have said, by keeping it, you are continuing a problem for the inevitable re-printed print
do the right thing!

Its the right thing to do.

I kept both and sold one about a year ago, and don't regret being a shameless fuck one little bit.

ADVICE: sent double prints, by murdock on Jan 25, 2011 16:16:37 GMT 1, If you believe in a higher justice (and I do not mean religiously) or just in "the right thing", contact the printer. If you think that "each one is their own best friend" then keep it.
What would make the world a nicer place, is pretty clear IMO...
Appreciate the honesty in this thread, though!
