Damien • Opium, by nimsu on Jul 3, 2011 22:23:37 GMT 1, for your info one sold at Bonhams on feb 2011 for 1900 gbp ( hammer price). I think you could find a legit print for 2 or 2,5k.
oh really? I thought they were going for like 6-7k. maybe i blew a good opportunity.

I thought exactly the same. When you compare it to images from eyestorm etc some of the colours don't seem right, especially the top left dot. (could well be the light like you say)

Damien • Opium, by mmmike on Jul 4, 2011 2:55:11 GMT 1, this mail is from hem: I used to have a gallery in Malibu California but I couldn't pay that high rent and remain profitable, so I started doing sales online malibumodernart.com/That will be a full e-commerce site in August. About 20% of my business is online now - I started with Ebay a few months ago. I have a lot of private clients and I also work with a lot of decorators here in LA and Palm Springs. I don't keep much inventory, I seek out pieces for clients and I purchase good deals and try to sell them at a fair profit. I've been able to get some good pieces lately at a good price, but you really need a global audience these days to find the best buyers.
Don't know if the Hirst is legit or not but I do know that is one ugly pic of Warhol on his site.

Damien • Opium, by nimsu on Jul 6, 2011 0:57:51 GMT 1, Now this seller offered me the same print/different # for $3200 USD. A little bit odd that he would offer me the same print for $700 more without a frame.

Damien • Opium, by johnnyh on Jul 6, 2011 5:27:35 GMT 1, Concern here is the fact that you are not sure. My advice would be if you are in anyway not sure do not buy it.
Yes you may miss a good deal but you also may miss a bad deal
2k for a poster ?
One that you are sure of will come up.
I am not implying that this is not a correct pic but it does not look quite right but could be photo.
His web site is just a page when most people would show works they have for sale esp if they were a galley and have stock etc.
Your not sure!! So just walk away would be my advice.

Damien • Opium, by nimsu on Jul 6, 2011 14:45:59 GMT 1, thank you everyone. i agree that if it just doesn't feel right or it is to good to be true it is best to steer away.
printguru. is there anything specific you see that tells you to steer clear or is it what johnnyh and others have metioned.
i still want a hirst opium so anything i can do to prepare myself would be great

I bought one from them in 2007 for £3500 framed even though they were listed at £5.5k.
Ignore the price and make them an offer.

good point. i'm a real jerk for not wanting to throw my money at the first offer out there. it's never wise to ship around.

£5.5k is not a good price!
You don't want to be paying more than £4.5k for a mint Opium...

Damien • Opium, by Rolex on Jul 8, 2011 0:17:09 GMT 1, I think buyers value this print at £3.5k sellers value at £5k , so probably true value £4k . I still wouldn't want to pay more than 2007 prices personally .

Damien • Opium, by nimsu on Aug 1, 2011 16:16:58 GMT 1, Continuing my quest for this print. I found a seller on ebay who will sell direct. I may have asked some of you directly, but any comments would be appreciated regarding authenticity. I've asked the seller for COA/receipt.
Per seller: Here are a few pics of the actual print. It's been stored rolled.
I have COA and original invoice as well and can provide pics of those.

Assuming condition isn;t an issue, what do you think? Is there anything I can do with the COA info in regards to contacting Eyestorm.
