Life's too short......, by Zippy on Apr 20, 2008 16:24:12 GMT 1, Has anyone bothered counting how many of these are on ebay?
It was a run of 75. Obviously the Artist and BRP get a few of them. Are the balance ALL on ebay or has someone decided to keep theirs? ;D

I'm just being sarcastic as I thought htese would never appear on ebay as 75 people posted on the forums that they were sleeping rough as its 1 they always wanted to keep.

Life's too short......, by curiousgeorge on Apr 20, 2008 16:35:43 GMT 1, I think 14 ish including a completed sale, plus the 8 for FMA
75 tickets were issued to people stood in the queue, a few asked if 65 were available etc and told 75 would be available (edition of 76,Nick keeping the first one)
Mine is staying, toying with the idea of putting it in a light box.Or failing that looking at sourcing some special moulding for it

Life's too short......, by Zippy on Apr 20, 2008 16:38:29 GMT 1, so do people actually like the print or is it the 'hottest' flippin item at the moment as there hasnt been any banksy releases recently?
With so many being offered, maybe people who 'were' going to keep it were dissapointed with the image so that is why they are selling?
It would be good to hear from those who are keeping it and those who are flipping selling it.

Life's too short......, by ajandre on Apr 20, 2008 16:42:55 GMT 1, I have loved the image since I saw it while back. If there is anyone who is considering selling it or is interested in swaps then I would be definitely interested. Got v for vandal but was too far back in the queue for Life Too Short... go on help a brother out! pm me if want to chat..

Life's too short......, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 20, 2008 19:02:48 GMT 1, I love this image, allbeit without having seen it in the flesh. i would not have spent the night outside to get one, but none the less think it's a very attractive image that I'd like to have up, either in the bedroom or hall. I can understand people not being overly enthused if they're seeking message or meaning, but i tend to swing for a lot of stuff that is simply easy on the eye (eg..Lucy M, Amy Sol, Nathan Spoor) and I think this fits that bill. I still feel all the prints were very overpriced and that the current market conditions for Nick's work are unsustainable long term. It's very sad to see such a demonstration of how much this forum is comprised of those using it as a tool for income, rather than for the appreciation of art, which was it's intended purpose. All these prints on ebay and being offered on here in exchange for Banksies, should have gone to homes where they would have been enjoyed. Now, instead, they will be in limbo as investments that live in tubes and don't see the light of day until someone offers enough cash for them. I can't be the only one that feels the forum is being abused! It's got nothing to do with whether we do or don't like this or the other 2 prints released on Thursday. IF we like them we have to pay 2/3/5 times the price and to make it worse these are forum members who have learned of the releases through the forum and are now trying to sell them through the forum. Can no-one else see the ugliness of this practice?

The print is amazing in the flesh. It was on display in the gallery so everyone who bought it had a chance to see it. Photos simply do not do it justice.
Like you say, i'm afraid its just the flavour of the month for the flippers.

Nice to meet you at the show.
I expected a few to turn up but the number on ebay is mad. Personally it's a print that I'd love to get my hands on. I liked it before the show and even more so since seeing it. I must admit when it comes to printing and putting on a show BRP aren't just in a different league, they're on another planet.
Wish queuing had been an option. The more they appear on ebay the better chance of snagging one for sub 2.5k although I don't think its a print I'll ever own as the though of paying that much for a print is too much to swallow.

I think you might get one for less than 2.5k if your lucky, keep an eye out. there is one going soon at 2400

Life's too short......, by Zippy on Apr 20, 2008 20:33:26 GMT 1, Art-el, great to finally meet you after talking for 3 years or so!
It really is a great print, but like you, I cant justify (or afford) that much money.
How can people ask more for it that a signed banksy? A napalm finished today at 5.2 ish where as Lampsy and his mates are offering this pritn at a bargain ยฃ9.9k.
There is no logic in this world!

I don't think the prices will go crazy, Neate not making anymore prints should keep him safe from the spike and drop of continual print releases most artists have. Most people with Neate prints want to keep them and flippers have already been burnt from his last set of print releases being released at very high (but market right) prices which no one wants to pay too much more for, but you never know.
