SOLD, by slipry on May 22, 2013 14:28:40 GMT 1, We need $3425.00 USD + PayPal fees (unless you "gift-pay" it to us) + actual shipping to make the deal a done one.
Here are some pictures. It is numbered x5/200 ; there is a about a .3" blemish to the right of his shoulder which is how we received it from HMP. All four corners are sharp and it has been stored flat, in a temperature/humidity controlled, smoke and pet free archival environment since receipt from HMP. We have been at this for a very, very long time, and our reputation/feed-back should speak volumes to how we treat our art-work and our overall portfolio; not to mention, our customer service. Our eBay handle is fifty_hundred if you would like to confirm our 100% positive feed-back out there as well. We are letting this and Zooicide go because we are on a current BAST kick ...a very expensive one at that !
Again, we would need $3,425.00 USD + PayPal fees (or pay as a "gift" payment), and then actual shipping charges which we could get you an exact quote on within the next 24 hours. This is NOT NEGOTIABLE ! No trades at this time unless it is for some BAST works.
Best, slipry Cleveland, OH, USA

We are good standing members of eb.com and eBay and just thought we would post it up over here. I did say I would trade $ + some BAST works as well; jeez.
But no gold, fairy dust, or diamonds are included with this version : )

Really?
By name, yes, by nature, no. I used to write back in my youth at the yards and that is how "slipry" was born. I am actually very well mannered, reserved, and shy. Tiffany and I have been together in blissful marriage for the better part of 7 years and have been together for 15 total; she is a great girl and I am lucky to have her. Never has there been any hanky-panky on the side; we are in love. We have a 3 year old son that we are both extra lucky to have. Going fishing with him later; cannot wait.
Why is everyone so serious around here today?
I am not trying to make jokes; just have some fun. Tough crowd ya'll have here at UAA. We are good people, collectors, promoters, patrons, and members of society, even if our pricing for the Teddy Riot is astronomical ! Oh the horror !

SOLD, by Wearology on May 22, 2013 18:22:23 GMT 1, According to expressobeans there have been 21 Dolk Teddy Riot's sold on the secondary market. The average price that it has sold for is $964.61 The highest price anyone has paid for one so far is $2,800.00 The lowest price was $444.00 I unfortunately sold mine almost 6 months for way too little and regret it terribly. IMO it is a fantastic piece of art, it is up there with the Girl With The Teddy Bear by Dolk.

I agree with all of those sentiments and appreciate the thoughts and your opinion wearology!
At the end of the day, it is my piece to sell. If nobody buys it, that is fine with me. If I could show you my PM Inbox out on eb.com, here, etc., members would be amazed at how many unique inquiries I have received over the past 12 months against this print (literally 50 - 75+). Especially out of Norway. It is DOLK's strongest image, IMO, with Zooicide, so that is why I am testing the waters; oh, and to make some money or MORE IMPORTANTLY get a nice BAST in trade. I have never been part of so much banter regarding a posting in the 18 years we have been doing this. It is so weird.
Cheers everyone; I didn't know I would stir some sort of weird multi-faceted emotional pot here with a simple FS thread.

=== === === WARNING: Upcoming MELT -
What is it that I started, limitedprints?
This is so ridiculous, and I know I am getting trolled a bit now. I have had nothing but great and flawless dealings with members here, at eb, on eBay, and on artchival for over 15 years. I have NEVER come out with a heavy sale/trade piece like this where perhaps in some member's minds, the price is a bit high. And again, I am still looking for nice BAST pieces where I thought the Teddy Riot would be decent bait.
However....
I had a HARD offer last night for $3400.00 + shipping for the Teddy Riot; a REAL offer. I must have said something wrong, like asking consideration for the PayPal fees, and the buyer was no longer interested immediately; which was fine with us.
So, this morning, while purchasing more BAST pieces from here, eb.com, and Artchival, I decided to put the piece up for $3425.00 on this board. It was already listed on eb.com. What is wrong with that? If I had an offer last night for $25 less than my current asking price, no more than 10 hours before I posted, why wouldn't I put it out here and try again?
I am not an unethical seller; look at my track record. ALL my sales are within whatever unwritten and ethical unseen boundaries we govern ourselves by. I send money to artists after I sell pieces when profit margins are a tad high; do any of you? I don't bitch when I sell a piece to a grateful collector for half of what the retail price was when originally purchased.
Why am I being attacked here? Because a few of you think the price is too high? The gentleman last night thought I was in the ball-park, and so did a few additional members who PM'd me today. They told me to pay ya'll no mind. Why do I feel like I have to defend my actions?
The "gash" is AT MOST a third (1/3) of an inch, or for those of you that don't utilize inches as a level of measurement, three-quarters (3/4) of a centimeter. I fully disclosed it in my pictures and in my description. If the piece does not sell, it is no sweat off of our backs. I wanted to see if it brought out any good BAST works + some money while making somebody's day, or all money so I could turn around and make another member's day by purchasing some pieces. Isn't that how it is supposed to work? We scratch each other's backs; right?
Why such the hostility and disbelief? All my wife and I have out here is our reputation, and I am not going to let a few skewed opinions soil it. Those who have dealt with us know that we are good people to deal with and collectors first. We are not professional dealers or a gallery. We are just two members of these boards who enjoy the community, directly supporting artists, buying, framing, displaying and enjoying art, and building a portfolio that hopefully will be passed down to our son one day and appreciated.
What happened to this place, and what did we do wrong?

I wanted to see if it brought out any good BAST works + some money while making somebody's day, or all money so I could turn around and make another member's day by purchasing some pieces. Isn't that how it is supposed to work? We scratch each other's backs; right? Why such the hostility and disbelief? All my wife and I have out here is our reputation, and I am not going to let a few skewed opinions soil it. Those who have dealt with us know that we are good people to deal with and collectors first. We are not professional dealers or a gallery. We are just two members of these boards who enjoy the community, directly supporting artists, buying, framing, displaying and enjoying art, and building a portfolio that hopefully will be passed down to our son one day and appreciated. What happened to this place, and what did we do wrong?

When i said "man u got somethn started" that was obviously in regards to the above coments. and it seems the general tone of the community is that it is high and you keep coming back for more. Dont blow a seal buddy.

SOLD, by Quinnster on May 23, 2013 7:13:29 GMT 1, Hi Slipry, Man u have really seemed to get something started here. i contacted you on eb for this print about a year ago. Ioffered you 900.00 and you would of accepted1500.00 then, thats us dollars too. MAN DO I WISH I BOUGHT IT. I hope the sell goes well. I would like to make you a respectable offer . Also the nice little gash throws me off. As you said it is urs to sell but wouldnt that be a reason for a better price? === === === WARNING: Upcoming MELT - What is it that I started, limitedprints? This is so ridiculous, and I know I am getting trolled a bit now. I have had nothing but great and flawless dealings with members here, at eb, on eBay, and on artchival for over 15 years. I have NEVER come out with a heavy sale/trade piece like this where perhaps in some member's minds, the price is a bit high. And again, I am still looking for nice BAST pieces where I thought the Teddy Riot would be decent bait. However.... I had a HARD offer last night for $3400.00 + shipping for the Teddy Riot; a REAL offer. I must have said something wrong, like asking consideration for the PayPal fees, and the buyer was no longer interested immediately; which was fine with us. So, this morning, while purchasing more BAST pieces from here, eb.com, and Artchival, I decided to put the piece up for $3425.00 on this board. It was already listed on eb.com. What is wrong with that? If I had an offer last night for $25 less than my current asking price, no more than 10 hours before I posted, why wouldn't I put it out here and try again? I am not an unethical seller; look at my track record. ALL my sales are within whatever unwritten and ethical unseen boundaries we govern ourselves by. I send money to artists after I sell pieces when profit margins are a tad high; do any of you? I don't b**ch when I sell a piece to a grateful collector for half of what the retail price was when originally purchased. Why am I being attacked here? Because a few of you think the price is too high? The gentleman last night thought I was in the ball-park, and so did a few additional members who PM'd me today. They told me to pay ya'll no mind. Why do I feel like I have to defend my actions? The "gash" is AT MOST a third (1/3) of an inch, or for those of you that don't utilize inches as a level of measurement, three-quarters (3/4) of a centimeter. I fully disclosed it in my pictures and in my description. If the piece does not sell, it is no sweat off of our backs.

So if you sold this for asking price how much would you send to DOLK?

A damaged print which has been grossly over priced and over hyped by the potential seller, it wont sell for anything like this amount as we all know, it is the sellers choice to offer it for whatever he wants but it wont sell, if he or she is trying to make people believe that a hard offer is on the table then thats up to him but we all know its tosh.
Good luck with the sale but IMO you would be better dropping the price to a more realistic level if you actually want to sell this damaged print, or just carry on hyping it up. Personally i quite like the image.
