I just can't believe that a gallery wouldn't be 100% transparent. I'm like... floored man.
It's easy to "sell" something if you're the one "buying."
I sold out my entire first show in a matter of seconds!

I'm pretty certain when this was released Giancarlo came on here and said he was keeping the wood panel for himself.

I'm pretty certain when this was released Giancarlo came on here and said he was keeping the wood panel for himself. Why take the time to list it on your site if you were planning to keep it for yourself?
Did G pay the full 2K listed on his site and then give the artist 1K? Or was the original price 4K and he created the listing using the 2K he paid directly to the artist? 50/50 being the standard and all.
I'm so confused.

Why did you want to buy it? why does it matter.

Unless your his accountant why worry about it or let it confuse you.
I guess for Giancarlo that's 1 of the many personal benefits of running your own print house. Who on this forum wouldn't take a few liberties if we were in his shoes. I bet he had second thoughts on the Sandra Chevrier canvas that disappeared from the GP release page yesterday and decided to keep it for himself. I know I would have.

I am pointing out how manipulated this hobby of ours is. It's a game of perception and the fear of missing out.
I'm doing it to try and inform people who may be new to our hobby.

So, you can be more transparent. Right?

Don't be silly FR, I am well aware of POW's "employee benefits," as well as other print houses/galleries doing the same thing. Many of these same people have very successfully manipulated the market to benefit themselves.
All one has to do is email... chances are there "just happens to be a print available."
It's not exactly rocket science. One can easily create the illusion of low supply/high demand.

And in future it would be great if when we miss out on a release we really wanted GP sends us a copy of every receipt so we can count they match the number of prints released. Then we can ask for proof of postage just so there is 100% transparency
or we can just get over it and carry on with life, which is rarely transparent or fair.

Just for transparancy I have never met Giancarlo but I have been a customer of GP several times. While I've not always got the print I was after Giancarlo has always been professional and true to his word. As a customer you can't expect better than that.

Much shadier print houses to go after out there than GP

This hobby is lousy with manipulative people. It will always be that way. Nothing wrong with a bit of discussion about it. You're really speculating a ton and making a lot of assumptions, not sure what else to say.
I was at the GP show, I asked how much that piece cost and I definitely could have bought it; it was for sale to the public. He probably decided later that day or the next that he wanted to keep it for himself and for all we know he actually paid for it, which would make it 'sold out.'
You'd be better off going after print houses that list things as 'sold out' when they really just give them to other satellite galleries that relist them for double the price; that is a shitload shadier. Not gonna name names, but this one should be obvious to anyone familiar with a balaclava print.

GP are at the top of their game so it's easy to bash them but as a print house they produce top quality work and know the meaning of customer service. On here they get a rough deal which is probably why Giancarlo doesn't contribute as much which is a shame because the guy knows his art and nobody gave away as many prints to forum members as he did.

Yes, Dr. Plip, we're manipulated all day and night by all kinds of things. Hell, you should see the way my students manipulate me. That doesn't mean we can't talk about.
Yes, Yesss (dss111), I am making assumptions. But aren't you doing the same thing here:
"He probably decided later that day or the next that he wanted to keep it for himself and for all we know he actually paid for it, which would make it 'sold out.'"
I assume it's human nature to make assumptions.

I feel it'll be a full-time job though. But hopefully a worthwhile one. Those that have been around for awhile may think it's old news, but you're right, some newcomers might be naรฏve to what sometimes goes on and appreciate any and all information.
