Art heist

Art heist, by artofbalt on Jun 6, 2021 8:05:05 GMT 1, Guys I have a confession. I just stole the Garau sculpture. It was a risky operation. The sculpture was very heavy and very difficult to transport. It wouldn't fit in a van and we feared people seeing it in a flat bed truck. My crew eventually figured out how to disassemble the sculpture and transport it piece by piece. You have to see this piece to really appreciate its beauty and importance. I'm moved every time I look at it. Garau had a true vision. I'll be keeping this piece in my personal collection as I think it's the best sculpture you will ever lay eyes on. Sorry not sorry though, no one will be seeing this piece again

Kaws โข Sponge Bob KawsBob Set, Yellow, Black, Red, by artofbalt on May 11, 2020 1:34:23 GMT 1, This should fly out the door at that price - pre-pandemic I was quoted $36k for a yellow kawsbob.
That's an outrageous price, stay away from whoever quoted you that

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 7, 2018 16:48:10 GMT 1, I don't know about other members of the forum, but none of these comments, here and on other similar for-sale threads, reassure me that a purchase would be trouble free.......
It is my goal to make every sale trouble free.
I use a payment service called paypal that protects both the buyer and the seller.
Usps lost one on me once but that's the only time i have had a complaint.
Based on most comments in this thread and other for sales threads it seems that very few sales would be trouble free here and people are only in interested in protecting their own interest.
I appreciate your comment because it is most in line with my vision because this means not everybody is just about themselves. You spotted a low post member selling something trying to justify high costs with no reason.
That's very similar to the situation that set me off. Doesn't anyone see the irony here?
It's very frustrating seeing other members react positively to someone not only selling at a high price but standing behind that price despite evidence to the contrary.
So thank you for exemplifying what I personally look for in a community.
To all others please feel free to provide any feedback below or via pm.
Happy hunting

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 7, 2018 12:14:04 GMT 1, No my account is fine. I was just clearing it up with the folks above that this is a piss take. If it isn't, then I apologise. But if it is, then isn't it against forum rules to post a piece for sale that is not in hand? Unless you purchased and picked it up within about 10 hours. Itโs a pisstake. I think everything has been covered now apart from sale fell through so looks like its back up for sale ๐
I am sorry, I merely skimmed your post looking for an offer. Did I miss one?
You are right, the one that mysteriously disappeared off ebay yesterday was a coincidence. In my opinion I actually did him a favor. I took the lowest priced example off the market.
Why the obsession? Why the witch hunt?
I simply saw an opportunity to make money and prove a point at the same time. Sorry I am apparently not "in the fold"
You guys don't frown on making money based on your reactions to other threads so logically i can deduce that the most likely variable responsible for the sand in your vag is the discontent with the point I made. Sorry not sorry. Exposing a wank while setting myself up with 35% off framing all next year? Check. Piss you off? Check. You giving me all the proof I need that this price is to high? Check.
While this piece may soon be gone I do have 2 invader sunsets available since apparently everyone clicks on invader sales threads. The neon green and the white. Can't find either for less than 3.5k. I would probably be asking 5k each. Haha surely that's a joke. The price is anyway, not the prints. I will start at $3500 usd plus shipping or best offer. Buy both and I will cover shipping within the US.
Have they sold for less in the past? Yes I would like to be transparent about that. There is also an auction on the white at about 2k at this time. Tbh if that ends at a number significantly less than I am asking here they will go in the flat file. I didn't get either at retail myself.
Can someone who isn't busy defending their mates overpriced sale teach me how to change the title of this thread? If someone also wants to show me how to add pictures I can post some up of the sunsets.
By the way you guys crack me up, so easily riled. I know that most probably aren't willing to spend almost 5k to make a point. Well Let me tell you boys that you have made pushing the double zeros on the paypal app totally worth it. I couldn't be happier with the results. You have made my point abundantly clear. If my sunsets don't sell then I hope this thread can become an active dialogue about community pricing vs ebay. Not expecting everyone to have the same price as ebay (even though i do) but when you post something in a public place for significantly more than other examples, be ready for some responses. Makes it look like the seller hasn't done any research or they have and they don't mind bending you over.
Point being is if I ever list anything at significantly more than ebay on here I will expect negativity because that's the way it should be. We should look out for other members.
Oh wait probably a god damn latte sipping millenial snowflake. Mommy and daddy were right you are perfect and unique just the way you are.

My apologies if I broke a rule by listing early. My friend picked it up and paid for me so I was under the impression that would be considered in hand.
I will be actually picking it up on Sunday, although it may not make it home. Met with my framer to do some mock ups this afternoon he made me a pretty decent offer, Not anywhere near what I am asking but the discounts he has offered may be worth it over time.
So i guess at this point its best to say that it will be on hold until Monday. If we don't work something out I may put this out there as trade bait.

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 7, 2018 2:33:14 GMT 1, It's pretty simple mate - he wants $6k for it. That's it. He owns it and won't part with it for less; it doesn't matter what others are priced at. All a potential buyer needs to do is message him and, say the ebay guy, and see the best price they can do. Job done. He's done everything right with a sales thread - it's detailed, has price CHECK (open to offers),CHECK location CHECK, he names the framer,UNFRAMED and includes actual photos. Can't ask for more.SORRY dont know how to add photos. glws
Is there something I am missing? You splitting the profits on the other one? Did your account get hacked yesterday?

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 7, 2018 1:35:50 GMT 1, After having my offer declined I secured one at a number I was a bit more comfortable with.
So this is a real for sales thread.
Wanted this for my collection but when I saw that I could list it here for less than someone else then maybe i had a shot to make some money.
Happy to keep unless someone makes a strong offer.

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 23:18:05 GMT 1, hash Again, I appreciate the feedback. Totally get the thought process. Makes sense but I don't want to take a loss. Bought second hand myself. Thought I had a good deal with seeing them sell for over 10k. Probably over paid but hindsight is 20/20 and that's why I am here.
And after checking ebay I noticed that the cheapest one currently available there is 10k. I won't go any higher on the number but I definitely won't be going much lower.

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 22:28:11 GMT 1, I appreciate the feedback, so it seems to be the opinion that if an item is available elsewhere at a lower price then selling it here is frowned upon.
Reasons stated were fees and buyers protection and not paying a premium.
While I agree with your points I would prefer to maintain my price where it is, I am open to offers afterall and not in a rush to sell.
Make it rain, please

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 21:58:46 GMT 1, Might be worth noting that thereโs one sat on fleabay at ยฃ3700 ($4750).
That's absolutely true. He must be in a rush to sell. Im not so if I can make extra money here fee free then why not right?
Don't have any justification except I don't think I should have to take a loss.
Feel free to discuss if you would like, i would love people's thoughts. What is a fair price?

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 18:32:23 GMT 1, There's one framed extremely well at 50 bucks more on here. Hope you manage to find a new home for it tho.
Exactly, this one is virgin. Free to frame however you would like! Plus i'm open to offers, sorry forgot to mention that.
Thank you for pointing that out, though.
I wouldn't sell it for significantly less than one that has been handled and framed (albeit by probably the best in the us) then one that has not. Also he is looking for a local deal. I will ship international even though I would prefer not to
There is a great cut scene from austin powers that comes to mind:
Hopefully I am allowed to post youtube links

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 7:23:52 GMT 1, Seller posted a work of sale for a price he wants. If you want one and have seen it cheaper then buy it cheaper and leave his thread alone. End of story.
I discussed my opinion of the value based on recent sales and available pieces.
He stated he was open to offers
I then offered him more than the most recent sale. When he declined and mentioned his time to get it unframed I increased my offer.
And in regards to the ebay print...I am working on that one as well. Always have more than one iron in the fire. As you are not looking to sell it for a 2k loss you can't expect others to want to offer 1500. I don't think thats an unreasonable assumption.
Why does discussion always turn into hate around here? People were all over the sunset prints being sold on here but those were below ebay cost. This is above. It has to work both ways.

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 3:41:36 GMT 1, No, my sole reasoning is not that a recent sale went for $6K hence my asking price is $6,750 or best offer for my framed copy. I am also taking historical sales, current asking prices as well as what I paid for this into account. No one is asking you to โspend more.โ If you want to spend $X, make that offer or buy it if it meets your budget. Thanks for your offer, but Iโll hold out for a higher offer. Also, I would prefer to sell it framed, as it would take some time for me to take it to the framer and get it unframed, and I would have no use for an empty frame.
Hostorical sales show a decline and current asking price is lower. Those were your two reasons correct?
I raise my offer $100 for you to drive to the framers and back.
Regarding what to do with an empty frame? Um whatever you want, i mean you bought it and everything.

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 2:23:30 GMT 1, If your reasoning is a recent sale went for 6k I am going to make you an offer based on the same line of reasoning.
I am going to make it publicly and commit to buying now if you accept my offer.
I will offer you $4400.00 shipped flat and insured to the east coast. Keep the frame.
Why would i spend more if one recently sold for less?

Haha bottom dwellers? Name calling is effective and everything but why not offer a valid counter to anything I have stated here?

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 1:40:40 GMT 1, I do like it! Thats the problem. I nearly bought the one that sold for 4200. I am watching the one at 5k and considering making an offer.
I'm all about fun,but not when someone asks significantly higher prices than other pieces available.
The reason to price match? People don't want to spend more when they can get exactly the same item for less.
Finally,when did dialogue and cordial debate become an argument? Perhaps I am alone in this line of thinking but selling on a public forum allows for public opinion and discourse. If that is something you care to avoid then perhaps other selling avenues may be more attractive to you.
I've had to take losses on pieces as well, it sucks. In my opinion this print will become more valuable over time. If its an option,may be a better long term investment for you.

The top 6k sale would be considered an outlier of that current trend.

If something exists in the world and it is available for 5k and it is not wanted it is worth less than 5k. Thats simply logic. The gallery is accepting offers as well.
So you dropped 1500 on that frame? And now plan to sell the frame for what you paid? Please see my previous comment above in reference to framing and value add.
I have one request, if you are going to defend yourself in the future it is best to respond to points made with valid counterpoints and reason. Not just the dude response "well thats just like your opinion man" or whatever the line is.

Invader LED Print, by artofbalt on Dec 6, 2018 0:07:02 GMT 1, Not to be a dick, but there has been one on ebay for 5k obo for ages. One sold Dec 1st for roughly 4300
I know, i know, yours is framed.
Unfortunately for most that won't add any value. In the eyes of many it will actually decrease the quality.
People who spend around 5k for a piece of art are usually pretty particular about their framing.
Ebay seller is listed as a gallery/reseller and has 100% feedback.
I guess whar I am getting at here is why would i pay so much more for something that i can buy new with better buyer protection?
Maybe you don't want to lose money on it, but that might mean its just not time to sell yet.
I tend to hate pricing vultures but 2 seconds of research and you could have seen that not only is your price too high but it makes it look like you want to take advantage of your fellow members here.

KAWS Print Damage - Opinions Needed, by artofbalt on Dec 5, 2018 0:16:07 GMT 1, My 2 cents? Get a full refund.
I had the same issue with my ptp. 2 corners just like you.
Got on the interwebs did some research made a few phone calls and sent some photos around for restoration.
No one wanted anything to do with it.
Finally found an expert that was highly recommended who agreed to meet after seeing photos.
Upon seeing it she immediately decided she did not want to take on the project.
She said the pigments he uses are very unique and very tough to match.
I ended up selling at a small loss as mine was not from a gallery.
Good luck whatever you decide to do. Sorry this happened,it really is a great print.
