Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by Deleted on May 3, 2019 15:24:50 GMT 1, From a neutral perspective my main concern is that for someone representing a seemingly successful company you seem willing to lower yourself to a point where you’re calling people ‘haters,’ ‘pissy’ and apparently blocking them on Instagram. It doesn’t scream of professionalism to me although I understand why you’d feel the need to defend yourself.

Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by Eton Groover on May 3, 2019 15:29:01 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.
Maybe you should stop griping on forums and get out there and show everyone how it is done.
Go on! You show 'em!

Your welcome to email any of our artists!
Classy...
And let's see...since the beginning of the year, I bought a Nick Smith from Nelly Duff, a couple of prints from Pop!nked, a Connor Brothers from Connor Brothers, a Connor Brothers from Maddox, a Derrick Adams from Brooklyn Museum, a couple of Failes from Faile, a couple of Obeys from Shepard Fairey, a Faile from auction, a Dee Dee from Station 16, a couple of JR's from source...hmmm...so yes, I am a buyer. Oh, and I have a Martin Whatson canvas hanging in my home, so please don't think I don't like some of your artists.
And I am not pissy because you blocked me from Insta, heck, I didn't like you long before that due to the way you sell prints.
All that money spent and not a dime going to you. And if you want proof on those purchases, just let me know...I can send receipts. See...I am totally open and honest...are you all?

Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by jayjay7 on May 3, 2019 17:22:45 GMT 1, I had Hope Scotch in the cart. Went completely through PayPal confirmation screens. Back to site. Completed address / contact number screens. Went to final confirmation screen.
Then on that screen my item went from status "1" to status "Sold Out". Was momentarily devastated. I know the way it tends to work. But it's still a bitter experience to get so far, to the last screen, only to have the rug pulled from under your feet.
I'm a collector. Not... a flipper, dealer, gallerist, broker, advisor, agent, etc. I've watched/wanted this print for years. And always regretted missing it the first time, as it was released when I was a new less experienced collector.
I won't be trying again / anymore on this website. Nothing personal, but done with GP.
(Maybe This also belongs under the 'The One That Got Away' thread.)

Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by Banksy Matrix on May 3, 2019 17:43:00 GMT 1, I can see why buyers & collectors are annoyed - if they went to buy a print on the drop and just miss out, and are then told that 25 prints (10% of a 250 edition print – seems like a lot, + APs & PPs!) are held back to be sold at costs greater than eBay a few months/years down the line… some 4 times the initial sale value… doesn’t seem very cricket. I’d be surprised if that’s the norm with other galleries. If an artist/gallery says they’re releasing an edition of say 250 prints, it seems reasonable the whole edition will be for sale.

Yes. I was of course well aware of how many people were likely trying for it. And also mindful that this was nothing like a normal release, with only one or a very few at most available.
I haven't had any problems using PayPal in the past in general. But try to stay open-minded, and will listen to objections.
The point of my post was that I only tried obtaining one thinking I might get lucky. Not because I seriously expected to be able to succeed. Whatever path may have led to the final screen, my comment has to do with the buying experience, once it had been carted and a final stage was reached.

Copied again from our post
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)

Completely different from holding back and selling for quadruple the price and above market. |

Keep it up GP. Great line-up of artists.
If there's one thing I can complain about, maybe, is that I've been an early collector of a certain artist and I've been treated appropriately for sure most of the time, but there's once where I did send a pair of e-mails for a pre-sale and never got a reply. Even a "sorry, but no pre-sale this time" would have been appreciated. Otherwise, it's funny to read how people are pissed off for absolutely no valid reason.

occasionally takes heed from other forum members ,constructive critism , just read an old thread when poster earlier mentioned meep jars
Release of prints back then every two months or so and a certain artist was over exposed a few thought, at least it's slowed down from there .
Also funny quote of art price being too expensive at galleries.🙄
urbanartassociation.com/thread/124138/meep-sculptures-released-thursday-december?page=2
No ones telling gp what to do , it's business free to do at will , just good businesses occasionally seek feedback from their market to achieve greater standards, just people's own observations so far discussing with fellow art folk

pulling up 2014 threads to continue your assault on GP?-I think we got your opinion last vault release -think they had to lock the thread last time cause you wouldn’t let it die . Pot stirring that you tell yourself is friendly art banter

Perhaps it will in fact encourage someone to start their own business, which would be awesome.
Y'all trying to tell the man how to run his business... Why don't you start your own As much as someone can choose how to run his business, his costumers can give their opinion of the way he chooses to run his business. Not sure why that would bother you as it's pretty much the exact way an internet-forum should function. Perhaps it will in fact encourage someone to start their own business, which would be awesome. |

I was of course well aware of how many people were likely trying for it. And also mindful that this was nothing like a normal release, with only one or a very few at most available. I haven't had any problems using PayPal in the past in general. But try to stay open-minded, and will listen to objections. The point of my post was that I only tried obtaining one thinking I might get lucky. Not because I seriously expected to be able to succeed. Whatever path may have led to the final screen, my comment has to do with the buying experience, once it had been carted and a final stage was reached.
And why blame GP for you not being fast enough?

Folk moaning about missing out on a drop when checking out. Really.
The man has said each edition has 10% with no more than 10 held back which are sold for market value in vault sales. They must be at or below market or they wouldn’t sell. If you don’t like it don’t buy it.

of course it's someone using PayPal. Stop blaming other people because you're not good at buying things online. Spend the time it takes you to explain why you failed and invest it in getting better at using your tech. The complainers have the loudest voices, always. A thread like this is not a true representation of the customer base although the whiners would have you believe that their opinion has some sort of weight. GP obviously isn't scraping the barrel for customers as evidenced by the sellout above market rate for many in demand pieces!
Let's also step back for a moment and reiterate that GP themselves have stated clearly in the past what to expect. But for some reason you still want to complain and cry.
GET BETTER.

Once again its on: The Graffiti Prints Archive Vaults , by k2 on May 4, 2019 12:13:59 GMT 1, So does using paypal make it slower to purchase. I thought people used paypal so that they were covered from fraud and other nadty internet things hapoening Sorry fella's i'm a bit of a silver surfer when it comes to internet,
What's not often mentioned on here is that, at least for systems like Shopify and Big Cartel, there are factors outside of your control that will determine how soon you are able to purchase. These systems use CDNs that effectively 'cache' the page content using a large number of servers in different geographic locations. When a page is updated (let's say, changing the status of an item from 'coming soon' to 'available') users in some geographic locations will see this updated version of the page sooner than others.
So even if you're logged in to Paypal, or have your browser set to pre-fill all your payment information, and you're refreshing the page constantly on an extremely quick internet connection, it's quite possible that someone else on a slower connection is half-way through their check out before you've even realised that the item has been released.
