angry and upset, by GB on Nov 26, 2007 17:16:55 GMT 1, just come off the phone to stolenspace and been told that after waiting for nearly a month the obey print on aluminum that my family bought me for my 30th birthday has been sold to someone else..... i cant believe it, i even sent a mail to confirm my details the morning after the opening as things seemed to be a little frantic..... and was told my details were there.
they are going to get back to me but i cant for the life of me think how this can be resolved....
totally gutted.....

You want to see how they roll prints into tubes, it just makes you shudder and come over in a cold sweat!
Good luck on the outcome, and even if its not favourable on the print welcome to the 'dirty thirties'!

I mean I understand that the insane demand outpaces the availablity for some onsales and can at times overwhelm inventory management. However, that is still no excuse. The gallerys need to develop a contingency plan for those situations and post it so that everything is out in the open and at least will be a uniformly applied process.
In your case, it doesnt seem like that is the situation. It seems like you just got something sold out from under you. That really sucks man and I hope it gets resolved in your favor. Terrible that it happened ... especially on a birthday present!

Some a-hole probably peeled it off then gave a junior member of staff his credit card and said i'll take this one. This story really sucks.. they should get their fingers out and get something else from shep for you.

Always wondered about the efficiency of a sticker to allocate the sale of a piece of art worth thousands.
Not that I have an alternative...

angry and upset, by funster on Nov 27, 2007 15:13:58 GMT 1, My idea would be to have a specially designed sticker for each show on ALL of the pieces at the beginning of the night that are then taken OFF when its sold. That way the previously referred to a-hole won't have any advantage removing the sticker.

Then you will a-holes who will take the sticker off for keeps and then sell it on ebay as "SPECIALLY DESIGNED STICKER FROM THE [insert name] SHOW! NOT FOR SALE! LIMITED EDITION!"
and the artwork will be unsold as well.
