WTB Nick Walker Empire State - Ca$h Waiting, by robinbanks on Jan 28, 2009 15:41:51 GMT 1, If you're a flipper don't bother reading any further - this is of no interest to you.
Basically I'm looking for a decent forum member - someone who bought Empire State but has since fallen out of love with it, or can't afford to pay off the CC, or has been told by the other half that there's no way it's going on the wall, or whatever...
I'm willing to pay cost + shipping from BRP to you and from you to me + whatever you think you should be paid for the effort of getting the print... eg; ยฃ50 train fare, ยฃ10 lunch money, X hours in the queue @ ยฃ20 per hour.
That is all I am prepared to pay though. I know it's a long shot - but if you don't ask, you don't get.
So there it is, go ahead forumites - make my day! ;D

If you read properly you'd see that my request was calling on decent people who may want to do something extremely kind without getting much in return but love, respect and karma.

The going rate is set by ebay.
Why would anyone sell to a random forum member for less than that???

WTB Nick Walker Empire State - Ca$h Waiting, by veralynn on Jan 28, 2009 20:18:08 GMT 1, And I have experienced it, two ways - bought a Hush print from forum member for less than he possibly could've got on the bay and passed that discount on very recently also, it wasn't much, more of a gesture......
Not sure that someone who would rock up at London Art Fair, make a beeline for BRP expressly for the purpose of flipping, then do a 'gimme' to someone they don't know but good luck anyway, if you don't ask you don't get. I fear in this case you won't get.

WTB Nick Walker Empire State - Ca$h Waiting, by funyoung on Jan 28, 2009 21:19:58 GMT 1, Someone said that prices are set by ebay.
In that case look at the graph on expressobeans : www.Expressobeans/public/detail.php/96173
These are falling like a rock.
Someone may just take you up on your offer - better one in the hand than two in the bush!

Sadly the only people who queued for the print either bought it to frame or to make a quick ยฃ800, chances of scoring one are extremely slim I fear!
Good Luck fella!

But they could be 100 % honest about what they do. So i take that last one back...But im a little suspicious about it......Fuck im para about everything......

They would be found out one way or another and then their reputations would be fucked for life, Mike doesn't just represent Nick, so why not do it with all of his Artists?

I know my chances are slim - but if this credit crunch thingy carries on the way it has been then who knows. I live in hope!

The reason so many people are selling is that BRP don't give a shit about collectors and unlike real galleries don't offer priority on new pieces to previous buyers.
BRP prefer to hype a release and sell to other galleries and flippers. Why else would they have told people on their mailing list not to queu before a certain time and then assign the prints before that time? Why were so few forum members successful in the so called lottery for the 75 prints?

Having seen the amount of Nick Walker prints that ended up on ebay for all of the recent releases it wouldn't work if they gave previous buyers priority as it seems a large chunk of those are buying to sell.
It would need to be something introduced from the very first release and in which case i think this would just add to further hype new artists as more flippers would buy new artists in the hope they get priority on future releases in the artist gets popular.
It also seems a bit strange to have a go at BRP for selling their prints as a free for all as pretty much every big gallery does it that way. Selling originals is different because the galleries have more say on what goes where (having bought a few original pieces i have spoken to the gallery owners before they've sold which is reassuring as they have the artists long term interests at heart).
I am sure if there was a better way to sell prints loads of galleries would do it. Faile tried fair-q and POW did the open day but there are still huge amounts on the bay.
(I haven't tried to get a Nick Walker print from BRP but i have witnessed the chaos, and have also tried and missed out on my fair share of banksy, hecox, josh keyes prints etc so i know how frustrating it can be)

WTB Nick Walker Empire State - Ca$h Waiting, by wave on Jan 29, 2009 10:01:15 GMT 1, BRP handled the release really well IMO. Sarah took everyone names pretty much on arrival and Mike was straight out to tell people if they had not made 100. Everyone in the UK had the same chance even if it did mean taking a days holiday or jumping on the train. People were still making the queue around 1pm. I don't know what more BRP could have done better really?
Personally I think Empire will be cheap to buy for a while as was London when it was released and you don't have the joy of queuing for 7 hours. I for one can't wait to get this beauty on the wall so that's one less on eBay anyway.
