JetSet Graffiti, by spirit on Feb 8, 2010 17:26:22 GMT 1, 18 months!!!?! WTF!! What is the story now? You must be out of pocket to the tune of 4-5k? Personally i would be taking a flight and beating the lips off anyone that scammed me for that sort of money! $8007 out of pocket to be exact.
Poppysunshine - If you don't mind me asking, when Jetset commented on this here recently he made it pretty clear that in his view he doesn't owe you this money - which means he's never going to pay up voluntarily.
So why haven't you taken this to court? While I have a lot of Sympathy for you I do find this strange and this lack of action on your part means I can't help thinking that there might be more to the story.
None of my business of course, just being nosey.

Heat Activated Press?? NBG, by spirit on Feb 8, 2010 14:34:38 GMT 1, I still wouldn't risk it on a Banksy...mainly because there is no point.
If you really want to get the print flat quickly then just get the framer to stick the print in his heated vacuum press (as used for drymounting) but just don't stick it/mount it to anything - instead put it between 2 sheets of acid free paper. The heat and pressure will flatten the print out in about a minute. Many framers do this anyway when they receive artwork in tubes and the client wants it framed quick.

Heat Activated Press?? NBG, by spirit on Feb 8, 2010 10:34:13 GMT 1, Personally I would avoid that - although they say it is reversible it sounds a bit too much like drymounting to me - ie the entire print will be stuck down and reversible or not that doesn't sound good. If the back of the print gets left with a residue it WILL affect the value - after all would you pay the same amount for a mint print VS one covered in crap?
To be safe I would just leave the print to flatten.

RARE D*FACE D*DOG DOGFACE PRINT FOR SALE, by spirit on Feb 3, 2010 15:53:23 GMT 1, I'm not implying that at all.
I am wondering why:
If it is only the person that started the thread that is limited to over 20 words, then how come I am also limited to over 20 words when its not my thread.
If however everyone is limited to 20 words, then how come walshy posted with only 11.
its an enigma wrapped in a mystery...

Help neeeded please regarding member GD303UK, by spirit on Feb 3, 2010 13:08:15 GMT 1, This is a last resort after repeated attempts to contact GD303UK via the forum and via telephone and via one of the mods on this site. He owes me ยฃ250 or a Blek le Rat - Man Who Walks Through Walls print. Situation has been ongoing since November and my patience with him has gone. I know he's highly regarded around these parts but ignoring phone calls and ignoring PM's is not acceptable practice in my book. He last logged in to the forum earlier today and once again didn't have the decency to reply to messages I've sent. If anyone knows him please give him a nudge and get him to contact me to resolve this. Thanks Edit: It appears that replies to this thread have been disabled for some reason so please contact me via PM if you can help replies have not been disabled, there is a word limit

Banksy Street Art Wheel Clamp Boudiccas Chariot 05, by spirit on Feb 2, 2010 16:56:01 GMT 1, i hadnt got sarky yet pal, am happy to do so tho. As it is obvious you intend to be an active, useful member of this forum, and you are in no way just a money grabbing leach who has decided to register on here to try and sell a bit of rubbish to real fans and collectors, allow me to welcome you with open arms, and declare your 'banksy street piece' a true collectors item worth tens of pennies, a must for any scabby collector of useless bits of crap without any possibilty of a COA, and with basically no possible ties to Banksy other than 'something that used to look like this, which this may be, but might not be, and will never be proven to be either one way or the other, might have, or might not have, been in the place seen in a banksy book, which was done originally by Banksy 5 years ago, but has til now been in a mysterious cave full of 'orignal' banksy artwork and for some reason looks like it was went at with a hammer'..... great to see, thanks a bundle. edit: and as for wasting my time, i've got all day matey.
Whilst that's basically all true, (there's no way of knowing now, nor will there ever be, whether it's "that" wheel clamp or not) - if the guy is telling the truth (particularly about his cousin's cancer) then you can't really blame him for trying to sell it. And if he's lying then I'm sure he secretly knows he needs to get a life already...

Either I've got a serious case of the Deja Vus or this is at least the 3rd time you've posted this.
Why keep deleting and reposting the same info?

How much for your Banksy signed Applause?, by spirit on Jan 29, 2010 17:32:42 GMT 1, mine is a signed L.A. version from the edition, I know there were 6 PPs but I've never heard of that many APs, actually I've never heard or seen any L.A. APs . I think that's why the PP sets were getting such large money because of the rarity of that signed set, if there were that many signed AP sets out there I doubt the PP set would have gotten that type of money.
I only heard about the APs recently myself - there was definitely a signed Festival AP edition of 33 or 36 on ebay a while back and a thread about them on here before Christmas. I think someone mentioned they were given out to friends/family and people who helped with the LA show.

How much for your Banksy signed Applause?, by spirit on Jan 29, 2010 17:08:55 GMT 1, It didn't sell for 2.2k, I would consider 3.25k gbp for my L.A. version signed Applause, the L.A. versions signed are pretty rare maybe only 3-5 exist, only because i really want a signed Napalm
I believe there were 6 signed Printers Proofs and 33 or 36? signed Artist Proofs for the LA series prints. Is yours one of those? or do you have a signed one from the regular edition?

Should my NBG framing go back? , by spirit on Jan 29, 2010 10:31:44 GMT 1, a lot of framers (particularly older ones) will naturally make the bottom border larger unless you tell then otherwise - so I should think it was deliberate rather than accidental.
