Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by klyde on Oct 18, 2017 13:39:40 GMT 1, Would be great if more collectable art was sold on eBay like this rather than shitty artist or gallery websites. POW will not be missed in my opinion. None of this crashing/not available nonsense. It just works. I bought as soon as it went live. Bang on 5pm UK as advertised along with hundreds of others.

what should the import duty be for UK buyers? Youโll get a confirmation email on the sculpture why donโt you email back asking them to make sure that that they mark the shipping as original art sculpture and 5 % tax and it should save you the hassle of claiming back the 15% . |

No website crashing nor page not loading. Maybe they waved their fees for a charity? |

Those 11 people will be sorry in a few years for their poor decision making. Maybe they couldn't afford them Then why buy in the first place? I would have loved one but couldn't afford it. I don't see the point in buying them cancelling. Or maybe some flippers who thought it would sell out quickly and then changed their mind? |

I'll be gutted if it turns out to be the first 50 purchasers who get signed copies. I must have been one of the first to cart at 16.48 pm UK time - then I saw the shipping fee, hesitated, emptied my cart, and thought about it for an hour, before finally going back and buying one. 500+ had sold at that stage.

Yep. Sold out now, 1011 sold. Those 11 people will be sorry in a few years for their poor decision making. Compare these sculptures my Ai Weiwei in an edition of 1000 at $675 to the Jeff Koons Balloon Dog releases at $9000 in editions of 2300. Koons has released them in at least 5 colours. The Ai Weiwei make a lot more sense to me, so long as they don't start releasing these in different colourways but I would think Ai Weiwei isn't that lazy and would release something else. mocastore.org/collections/prints-and-posters |

Any pictures of similar sized pieces would be great for inspiration
Cheers.
