You win, I'm totally wrong and you are all being so nice and of course we all need protecting as adults. Silly me and I certainly won't apologise for sticking up against bullies in the past. As you were. 

Come on buddy chill out, I wish you sell it. Even better promote the gallery link and when they sell out, sell yours in double the price. Take care Merry Xmas and wish you luck.

Jumping on another forum member’s sales post to try and undercut them doesn’t scream supportive to be fair?

Our respective experiences appear to be different.



Whenever I spot a post by Richy Rich, I make sure to read it. They are consistently sharp-witted, even-handed, and rational.

The same often goes for posts by storm breaker. Usually a bit caustic, but amusingly so. And without unfairness.



To my mind, both members are assets here. They help to keep in place a system of checks and balances this platform is frequently in dire need of.

You may have made some false assumptions regarding the meaning and intent of what Richy Rich wrote.

I read their post as simply a playful jab, aimed at the (apparently-oblivious) hypocrisy demonstrated here:

(a)  on the one hand, Urban Art Store referencing the fact "We should be supportive of each other"; and

(b)  on the other hand, Urban Art Store egregiously undercutting the pricing of a fellow forum member two months ago, in their own sales thread:

urbanartassociation.com/thread/185751/lots-sale



That point was surely worth making. And it was also a point well-made.

Cheers.

The reason I liked the post was it seems jeanmichel / Urban Art Store needs to practice what he preaches and has a selective short memory, he clearly forgets jumping into another members sale thread and undercutting them by a big chunk. Thankfully met found the thread and linked it for us all. I'd presumed Urban Art Store had deleted it to cover his tracks.

Incidentally around the same time I bought the £7500 print from UAS, only to have to have the payment refunded due to ‘stock’ issues. I was then subsequently promised by UAS that they would try and source me another print from the edition on the same terms - even saying they would take a hit on their commission to make that happen. Never heard another word but noted another print at £7500 appeared on their website/on here weeks later. That did annoy me a bit at the time - expected to at least have some comms indicating they may be in a position to help out as previously indicated. To be honest I wouldn’t consider dealing with them in the future - it’s all very well saying let’s help each other out on the forum but needs to be in practise, not just weasel words in a post…..

I have posted several items for sale all at once on here. No one who is complaining  at the JMP poster price seem to be bothered about the other items. Somebody on here did go on my website (anonymously) and send a mocking message though, which is rather laughable.
I left my job after 29 years because I was underpaid, undervalued and forced out, but I was then lucky enough  to be in a position to start an online art gallery (and a dog walking business) at the same time. The dog walking pays the bills; the gallery is drip fed and enjoyable. 101 sales since August 2021.I am very proud of myself for doing it.
I have made mistakes on it and I have a bit to learn.

I want to make this clear. I do not intentionally rip anyone off. If anyone thinks they are a sheriff and wants to point out that the JMB poster is overpriced and want to 'take me down', then that is up to them. What you should have done is send me a PM and point out the Milan gallery link and suggest I should change the price a bit. I try to keep up with trends and prices elsewhere, and I didn't just bang up £350 knowing you could get it for £180 elsewhere. I do offer free delivery and returns, and there are always offers on here. £250 anyone? Happy Christmas!

Hi Jules. It appears you might have misunderstood my post. It happens so no hard feelings. My comment (as met quite correctly pointed out) was directed at another member who had been preaching supportiveness whilst not practicing it. 

My two pence on the argument created by the original post is that people can sell items for any price they like. However, noses shouldn't be put out of joint when other members quite rightly point out that said items are still available at source.

UAA is a fantastic resource to be able to sell art but it is ultimately a forum so sellers should be able to digest some (constructive) feedback if they want to sell fee free. 

Let this be a lesson about reading posts and comprehending them fully before accusing other of lacking 'understanding.'

Really interesting story,
