WARNING anyone buying an orange nola, by Dexter Bulldog on Dec 22, 2013 2:05:07 GMT 1, this is a heads up for anyone in the market for an orange nola
i recently purchased one and the pictures they sent me, it looked fine. however they were rather dimly lit.
if you look at this particular one under bright lights however, there are many flaws that were not being disclosed by the gallery. i wont name them, but i feel like everyone else should be aware. they took it back, but do the math of what a bank charges on money transfer exchange fees, round trip, and this was an expensive lesson for me.
orange nola #28/32

some pretty major creases on the right border, and a grease stain on the lower left
there was also pink streaks, but i was told these were removed by the restorer

just a head's up.. buyer beware of #28, any seller should disclose the flaws..

WARNING anyone buying an orange nola, by Hubble Bubble on Dec 22, 2013 10:13:19 GMT 1, Fair play and thanks for the info, db.
However, isn't it precisely on a forum like this that we should be naming the gallery? I think sellers too often believe that immediate recompense following a genuine grievance guarantees a silence that will enable them to continue their (slightly) underhand tactics and take advantage of some other, unsuspecting punter. At some point, by the law of averages, they'll get lucky.
I think the forum is the perfect place to name and let the gallery come on and defend/explain.
But no criticism of you here, mate. Good for you and thanks for letting us know.

WARNING anyone buying an orange nola, by iamzero on Dec 22, 2013 11:08:51 GMT 1, Agreed dude. To much pussy footing around galleries sucking up to them like they're doing us a favour by selling us stuff. They need naming.

WARNING anyone buying an orange nola, by Dexter Bulldog on Dec 22, 2013 14:10:49 GMT 1, I have no reason to suck up to any gallery' in fact they told me they no longer have it, and im too new to even know who here is a private collector and who is really a gallery and who is both. If they no longer have it, then at least any future prospective buyer can search nola and learn about #28 if theyre in the market and its being sold at a later date. This all happened in late ocotber fyg, so i guess i should have said something earlier
