Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by longshanks on Feb 13, 2014 0:39:27 GMT 1, Anything under £500 is cheap! (For a kit)
My advice is compare as many images as you can find. The text on the static bags normally sit on the same place on each kit, and for me there's something about this one that makes me uneasy. Looks lower. I'm probably paranoid but there's something about the way the bag fits that doesn't quite look 100%. Could it be original packing with replaced tiles? I dunno....
I think the recent fakes were the smaller tiled kits Vienna / Japan.
Probably real but eBay scares me.

in my eyes above 500 unsigned is too expensive. We all put a diff value on things so each to there own an all. from experience at work with the anti static bags I can say that the stamps are most deffinately not in the same place. All can be different. With this one I believe the stupid seller has stood it up therefore causing the kit to bend In The middle ,as we all know there not the sturdiest of things.

Google image search and you'll find the underline below super shield text sits inline with the tip of the top white tiles on nearly every image, including a lazarides pic. This eBay one doesn't. Im probably wrong but it's enough for me not to bid on it, just a gut feeling.
Your probably right about it stood upright tho
Don't get me wrong £500 is a lot, but you'd struggle to get any kit for less nowadays wouldn't you?

The static stamp isn't in the same place for some of the kits like ik_11 is a good example of variation and also ik_13. It all depends on the printing at the factory that makes the bags. But as a rule there in the same place on the kit. This wouldn't bother me with this particular piece. I'd just be afraid it may be damage from the way he's had it stood

Seems an ok price to me. When current invasion kits at source are £600. This is 6 years old and harder to come by.

I was tempted but don't really like the kit as much as some of the others.

I've only had positive experiences with buying art on eBay, apart from one time where the piece arrived damaged. It got sorted in the end, but it was a pain in the ass...
Generally it's been good though!
Enjoy your piece, and congrats on the auction, I think you got a great deal on a great piece!

I will definitely frame as this is for 'personal consumption' not speculation..
Someone here posted a pic of an awesome white double sided frame with the tiles on one side and the static bag on the other - I will try to copy that
I would love to have it in a floating frame but I guess I would have to permanently attach it which I'm a bit reluctant to do
Any suggestion for a reputable place to get it framed in New York where they won't rip off an art newbie are welcome!
Cheers
JP
