Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by unkle77 on May 2, 2019 19:11:14 GMT 1, based on what I’ve seen over the last 9 years here it appears people have a problem with others trying to make money dishonestly. I guess if they've priced them too highly, they won't sell, but surely it's better for the money to be going directly to support the print makers than to some kiddy on eBay immediately after release. And if the additional income that GP receive from these sales helps them to keep the price of future releases lower, surely that's a good thing.
There is something to be said there. The Beejoir Imodium 20's are crazy priced during their vault sales @ £495 but seem to sell out every time. Secondary market is at least £100 less than that but again, you are getting it directly from the printers rather than someone else who may or may not be the first holder of it.
Although, this recent vault sale is different as the normal Imodium 20 available in the vault sale was part of the regular run of 150 and not an AP or PP like the pastel one that was available... so that begs the question, why has the Imodium 20 page on their site say "Sold Out" since it's release? www.graffitiprints.com/product/beejoir-imodium-20/ Could be a customer's payment declined or something wrong with shipping address but still... makes you wonder at the same time.

This should be commented on by GP. It’s the same with the Kunstrasen dog.
We’ve heard GP response on the AP PP question. Personally I don’t mind their explanation on that. I know other do.
My question is there original edition sales....

Would you pay the higher price if not sold out?
Good marketing that works .
They effectively control the market for the artists they represent

It's the shadiness with their selling practices...

Was thinking the same thing fella, just milking it big time. Any other online gallery does he same as this, blatantly on this scale? 1run do it with their archives?
GP had a great model going and sucked a lot of buyers in win their 1/1 variants (I bought a nice one years back) which is great but now seems got somewhat greedy, shame really.,

Each variant has a pp and ap so not that rare in the scheme of things.
Suppose a good way to start people to
Collect canvases instead of prints !
With the way prices are going prints will be the same prices as canvases .

The stuff they put in these vault sales always seems to sell out..Well appear to anyway. And appear again and again.. Every new artist that appears always sells out so they do well. The average buyer would not notice , but the forum is full of collectors and follow what is going on so more up to speed with events
Look at Pez Mirage, how many of those buyers were flippers sitting with that piece that continued to drop in price. I guarantee they have some of those in stock but not appearing in the vault because it is not selling in the secondary market.

The average buyer would not notice , but the forum is full of collectors and follow what is going on so more up to speed with events As Tab implies, sell out but keep appearing, are they really selling out then or is everyone being fooled. I think you'd be surprised how many people here are the reason for the sales of these pieces. Without the support I'd be intrigued to see how they fair.

They sell some things and the artist makes a little money.
It's not shady...a few prints are held back for future sales. Every print run has a few left over..kinda like an insurance policy.
Blah blah blah. We win some we lose some.
Most of the ill feeling is people couldn't buy and flip. If you love something that much put your hand in your pocket. You can't put a price on art that you love right? It's going on the wall and you'll keep it yeah? Get real people.
Apologies to the minority to do buy to hang and enjoy but everyone else can f**k off.

Aren’t you the pleasant one? The marketing part of the equation is creating an illusion that these are highly prized and if you don’t hustle you will miss out. Holding product back, not for friends or clients but to run a bogus vault sale, usually when things are slow for GP, is just part of the marketing strategy. As the consumers this strategy is aimed for we have the right to call foul.
This is the guy that bought those jelly jar figures at a flea market then tried to pass them off as art.

to you good sir I say, no you are wrong. If there are buyers of a product that is advertised as limited and then pp or aps keep popping up time after time, then the collectors as a collective have all the right and should be disgruntled at this swindled way of doing business. Business ethics 101.

An argument can be made that AP’s and PP’s should be numbered. But the fact that they are produced is common practice and any collector should know that. How the printers and artists choose to distribute their respective proofs is their business.
To suggest that an indefinite amount of APs and PPs exist is to question the integrity of not only the publisher, but the artist as well since all the prints are signed, they know how many are out there. If you believe both artist and printer are shady maybe you should just avoid both parties.

no one is being swindled, publishers have every right to hold back whatever they want to sell at a later date.

marketing is mind control to part you with your money. Just because you're not privy to the plan in advance doesn't mean they're doing something that's wrong. GP has every right to distribute their prints as they see fit. If you somehow feel wronged I'm sure they'll take the print you bought back at cost. Supporting the business in lean times with some tasty inventory that's been held back... Nothing wrong with that.

It's not an illusion is it? You noticed! So did everyone else. I expressed my opinion so did you. That's nice. The lame witch hunt of GP is just wack. Plenty of shady tactics in the art world but this really isn't one of them.

As the consumers this strategy is aimed for we have the right to call foul. This is the guy that bought those jelly jar figures at a flea market then tried to pass them off as art. It's not an illusion is it? You noticed! So did everyone else. I expressed my opinion so did you. That's nice. The lame witch hunt of GP is just wack. Plenty of shady tactics in the art world but this really isn't one of them. |

If there are buyers of a product that is advertised as limited and then pp or aps keep popping up time after time, then the collectors as a collective have all the right and should be disgruntled at this swindled way of doing business. Business ethics 101. An argument can be made that AP’s and PP’s should be numbered. But the fact that they are produced is common practice and any collector should know that. How the printers and artists choose to distribute their respective proofs is their business. To suggest that an indefinite amount of APs and PPs exist is to question the integrity of not only the publisher, but the artist as well since all the prints are signed, they know how many are out there. If you believe both artist and printer are shady maybe you should just avoid both parties.
i have. the last GF print bought was a pink nuno...then i heard the rumors.

We’ve heard GP response on the AP PP question. Personally I don’t mind their explanation on that. I know other do. My question is there original edition sales.... Would you pay the higher price if not sold out? Good marketing that works . They effectively control the market for the artists they represent
My question is why they mark it as sold out at release.

True. But if asked what should they say?
Should they market the edition as sold out?

Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by Deleted on May 3, 2019 2:00:57 GMT 1, Wonder how the artists feel drawn into this? Seems a bit dishonest Was thinking the same thing fella, just milking it big time. Any other online gallery does he same as this, blatantly on this scale? 1run do it with their archives? GP had a great model going and sucked a lot of buyers in win their 1/1 variants (I bought a nice one years back) which is great but now seems got somewhat greedy, shame really.,
Idk if that's true but that would explain why artists aren't mad at them for this. Can talk about the art all you want but most artists are greedy as fuck, and rightfully so for all that matters.

Incorrect. They stated 30+ prints that were sold today were their very last copy and won't pop up in another vault sale ever again. Oops.

Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by Graffiti Prints on May 3, 2019 7:34:22 GMT 1, good morning forum
got sent a link last night to this thread, i was going to write a reply till i clicked our recent posts and all i wanted to say was in the last vault sale thread from christmas, said to mainly the same people!
artists trust us simple, why? because they are in control, they control what they sign simple.
i can not magic copies or just keeping printing more like west country prince haha
95% of the prints we make are too complicated to make again.
what we said at xmas
Happy Xmas everyone
We have always said from day one we keep up to 10% of an edition for later to do shows and vault sales ( usually never more than no.1-10 even if edition is 150 or higher)
Plus we have proofs which are never more than 10% of an edition, usually a lot less after replacements etc
All artists sign and agree numbers so the people who email artists and suggest it’s terrible we are selling proofs is insulting them in my opinion as all know exactly where they stand with the edition in question
I said this before here etc but mr tab has still not forgiven us for calling him out for selling whatson stickers on canvases representing them as originals on eBay
All the other haters are just jealous imo, we do what we do well, look after every artist and their print works.
Hence we are now in our 7th year still producing cracking prints
Street art is such a small world and word travels fast and our rep just grows with artists as we do it the right way
Someone mentioned pow, they did do vault sales on banksy etc in the form of pdf to vip collectors, you just had to be on the list.
We do it upfront and for everyone which was the concept way back in 2012 for everyone don’t hide it, no smoke and mirrors etc
Just great prints and great prices which is what we do.
Why should we sell at release prices years later it does not make sense
We sell at what we are prepared to part with it for!
Just wanted to clear that up and defend our honour!
Happy Xmas everyone

"Street art is such a small world and word travels fast and our rep just grows with artists as we do it the right way."
Yep...that is true...small world and word travels fast...and this forum has a lot of regulars who do a lot of buying on the regular. And this one thread shows there is a lot of unhappiness with Graffiti Prints. (I myself will never buy from you after getting banned on Insta for voicing my opinion previously.)
You don't see any other threads on this forum talking about a printer like this. The occasional "my print seems to always get damaged during shipping" pops up which really is a combo of factors and 99% of the time made whole afterwards.
So yes...street art is a small world of buyers (not just artists) as you can see. If someone (and I am only saying "if", not that I or anyone else would) sent your artist roster a link to this thread (as someone did to you all), how do you think they would feel about you saying "all the other haters are just jealous"? I am not jealous...why would I be jealous of your job? Are you jealous of mine? I buy prints. I just won't buy your prints.
I have had great experiences purchasing prints with Pop!nked, Print Them All, Nelly Duff, Maddox, Obey, multiple museums, etc...you know who I have had miserable experiences with? Yep...Graffiti Prints.

Our artists will judge us on their own experiences not on random collectors or one who’s pissy becuase we blocked them on Instagram
Generally I find most people having a go are not buyers so why would we care!

Hence we are now in our 7th year still producing cracking prints Street art is such a small world and word travels fast and our rep just grows with artists as we do it the right way Someone mentioned pow, they did do vault sales on banksy etc in the form of pdf to vip collectors, you just had to be on the list. We do it upfront and for everyone which was the concept way back in 2012 for everyone don’t hide it, no smoke and mirrors etc Just great prints and great prices which is what we do. Why should we sell at release prices years later it does not make sense We sell at what we are prepared to part with it for! Just wanted to clear that up and defend our honour! Happy Xmas everyone "Street art is such a small world and word travels fast and our rep just grows with artists as we do it the right way." Yep...that is true...small world and word travels fast...and this forum has a lot of regulars who do a lot of buying on the regular. And this one thread shows there is a lot of unhappiness with Graffiti Prints. (I myself will never buy from you after getting banned on Insta for voicing my opinion previously.) You don't see any other threads on this forum talking about a printer like this. The occasional "my print seems to always get damaged during shipping" pops up which really is a combo of factors and 99% of the time made whole afterwards. So yes...street art is a small world of buyers (not just artists) as you can see. If someone (and I am only saying "if", not that I or anyone else would) sent your artist roster a link to this thread (as someone did to you all), how do you think they would feel about you saying "all the other haters are just jealous"? I am not jealous...why would I be jealous of your job? Are you jealous of mine? I buy prints. I just won't buy your prints. I have had great experiences purchasing prints with Pop!nked, Print Them All, Nelly Duff, Maddox, Obey, multiple museums, etc...you know who I have had miserable experiences with? Yep...Graffiti Prints. Our artists will judge us on their own experiences not on random collectors or one who’s pissy becuase we blocked them on Instagram Generally I find most people having a go are not buyers so why would we care!
