if you refer my comment, when they needed it the most, you should probably consider the timing of the purchase and that is was at the endo fh the month, during summer. which is a pretty bad time for galleries in certain cities. people travel and do not buy as much during August.

But i wish you would refrain from your rumor mongering, as what you dod is borderline libel per se, and technically libel per quo, if i am not mistaken.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong, and why i am getting all this grief?

I bought a painting from an artist i love, to help make a sale for a gallery. now i HAD an opportunity to buy something i was looking to acquire for years.... And what is wrong with asking $5,000 LESS than the gallery was selling the piece for....?

I am one of the most generous, friendliest people you will probably ever meet. I do things for others before myself. I help people find what they are looking for, even if i get the short end of the stick, because helping people other than myself makes me feel good, knowing i have somehow helped another person achieve their goals.

IS there something wrong, with getting a deal on a piece of art, and then making the tough decision to sell it? it i after all MY property. And selling a piece is the only way i will ever get the Print i want.

I ask for a fair market price, below retail, to pass on the savings to another. pretty good thing to do IMO. as i know people here who selling their items for retail or just below, regardless of what they paid.

Maybe people do not understand my straight approach and my quick replies. But that is not my concern, and it shouldnt be anyone else's concern either. I am not here to please you with my verbage or the way i speak. aim here to collect and sell a few things, and to help others find what they are looking for, because this SECRET society of collectors is nothing more than egotistical elitism, between the "cool kids".

SO i guess the people have spoken, and i am not welcome here. so i say.... good day to you too. and i take with me my good tidings and save them for people who can appreciate people for who they are, and not what they are...

I was asking for $5,000 LESS than the gallery, in case you missed it.  but i clearly pointed that out.

so what is your problem with me? 

If there is a thread to show your latest art purchase, is that bragging.  and telling people i got a deal form the gallery is actually a nice thing to do, as people might actually want to do business with a gallery that is flexible.  that seems to be a pretty nice thing for me to do.  i could have NOT identified the good gallery that offered me a deal.  and i could have asked for retail too.  but i did not.

so what you say to me is clearly coming from somewhere else.  because it is not based on what i have said or done.

so i ask you again to keep your opinions to your self, especially when you have no idea of the facts here.  even tho i wrote it.

What are you some kind of antagonist?

Haha, brilliant, 5ft flip, where's skippy and his ***post of the week*** (it's not skippy is it?)

he was about to leave! let's just all go silent....

Kike i said before... you assume to much.and after i already laid it out.

Regardless of the bickering in the thread, Sommguy Is awesome to deal with, and surely knows how to pack a piece.

Was very patient in our dealing. I'd buy this if I had the extra 15 for sure. It's a steal

Me...

I don't think alcohol is going to help things here. It might be better just to have a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Well that escalated quickly...

I don't care anymore, I paint you a circus or shutter font if you like. ;-)

Sommguy, honestly I wouldn't take it to heart.... The forum is full of very opinionated people...... and why not? The bottom line is if people don't want to pay the price then thats fine. You shouldn't get caught up in some silly online row! Its only art work.... don't re asses your life and the good you do! chill!

I am currently getting a price on an Eine commission so I can update with current prices when I find out if you like.

That is who i am. It's how i live my life. It has been rewarding for me and others.
