Expresso Beans, by Ottomatik on Dec 29, 2009 13:47:19 GMT 1, The users on EB isnยดt very interested in this scene, they are more into the likes of EMEK, Aaron Horkey, Todd Slater, etc. That is one of the reasons why the average prices on Banksy prints isnยดt up to date, people simply donยดt care and therefore donยดt add auctions.
not really fair to say.. 26 members own Donuts-S 16 Donuts -C 21 members own NBG Green 3 members own NBG Grey it's not all about Horkey,Emek,etc anymore new artist are gaining momentum from EB-The members are giving a HUGE boost to Handiedan, Prefab. (which you guys should play nice, they own more copies of Britannia than you, and you all seem to want it.) ;-}

Sure there are a few collecting Banksy, Walker, Beejoir, etc. But compared to the oneยดs I mentioned, itยดs really nothing.
Fairey get his share of attention over there.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.. I know lots of people on here that are on EB and vice versa. It's just that there are several different forums people visit to discuss often the same stuff. I've been here for over 3 years but don't often post here (nor on EB as much) but I read things here and there quite often. There is interest for sure. I think you'll find the bigger UK releases are tracked, Banksy included.. maybe not as much as Shep or Emek, but admitedly, there aren't as many UK Ebay EB users that track all of the UK auctions.
Indeed they (uk print work releases) are both there and on occasion updated if i can get time to do it I used to use it a fair bit - less so nowadays; it had serious performance issues - perhaps they're now resolved.
It's been designed (wiki/mysql/php wise) well - contains a few irreverent (humorous) characters - which is cool - and well ? it flows well - it's +ve to have around. I have come across little of the miscreant behaviour which occurs here, seemingly, weekly.
They're (the folks who run it) ethos is good - well founded and positive.

Expresso Beans, by lifeonwalls on Dec 29, 2009 15:27:37 GMT 1, I joined in 2004 and have been contributing ever since. I love stumbling across new art and being able to manage my collection online. Have sold just about 30 pieces to members there, bought about just as many, and have not had a single transaction go south.
If any of you sold your Grafter Splash for a nice profit, you can thank EB for help driving that price up... ;-)

I have to agree with this. The site staff are excellent. They're all about a love of the art and there's no real sign of any interferance/sensorship/moderation, which I personally prefer to other styles of management and think the site def' benefits from this. The staff there don't worry about what members type too often but invest HUGE amounts of their own time sourcing and inputting new art - it's quite staggering. This is the main reason we can all go there and find so much art we'd never heard of previously - they do a sterling job, worthy of all praise heaped upon them imo.

I thought I was going mad! I remember starting this thread yesterday and I intentionally did NOT put it in the ebay / sales section as I wanted to start a good, honest debate and hear people's thoughts.
Silky, have you moved this? i guess it was you as I doubt the other Mods have the power to do much without your blessing?
1. Why did you move it? 2. Should you not have consulted / asked me first as the orginator of the thread? or at least had the decency to post in the thread that you felt it should be moved for X and Y reasons?

That is fair enough but surely 'whoever' moved it should have either contacted me or at the very least, posted why they have moved it?
I am not trying to 'bash silky' but merely asking a genuine question. I have not blamed anyone for moving it - I have only asked a question
In fact you Mod's are getting very protective over him at the moment. he is big enough and ugly enough to look after himself ;D

Expresso Beans, by cpo on Dec 30, 2009 1:21:41 GMT 1, Why was this moved? Does that person have any idea how much new traffic he can get from the EB folks and vice versa (instead of burying an informative thread into a for sale/Ebay area that it has absolutely nothing to do with? ) It's not a competition for Christ sakes. heck, if I want specific banksy info, I come here...
There are over 20,000 members at EB.. of course there is mutal interest between various forums.

I was trying to act on behalf of my dear friend than is no longer an active participant in this forum Sir Wizbong - so my comments were more in line with W.W.W.D. - What Would Wiz Do? The Slammer thing realy turned off a lot of good forum members this past week and I wanted to jump in before we repeated that fiasco again-

Expresso Beans, by cpo on Dec 31, 2009 7:32:59 GMT 1, EB is pretty good for tracking sales data. Does it catch everything? absolutely not. Is it better than anything available anywhere else ever? Absolutely. EB was the first art site I ever joined and was a big inspiration for all of the work I did on print wiki (http://thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints) and fine art wiki (http://thegiant.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Fine_Art). A definite tip of the cap to the crew over there. They deserve a ridiculous amount of respect.
Wait! What happened to mose?
What the hell is going on here? Mose is one of the last members here with broad knowledge along this entire hobby and has actually done many things to benefit the scene?
Did he accidently delete his account?

Expresso Beans, by mrtibbs on Dec 31, 2009 17:10:20 GMT 1, Could this work here? Guidelines for EB
EB is an art collector community. As such, it is built on the generous contributions of its members (not only monetarily, but by adding art, auctions, meaningful dialogue, etc.). It is also a community built on trust between members; trust that takes time to be built and earned.
If you are a new member, we request you list art in your personal collection, use the member selling and trading tools, and contribute to discussion in the forums. After complying with this request, and after a period of thirty days from initially joining the site, feel free to list your items for sale/trade in the Open Market. (Prints should be in-hand before posting.) After making your first sale, please report the information for inclusion in the art's sales history. Also, ask for some positive feedback from the member you have completed the transaction with. It will help you build a solid reputation among members here.
For current members in good standing, please limit your items for sale to one active thread. (Prints should be in-hand before posting.) If your items are listed on eBay, please use EB's eBay link feature (directions here). This benefits the site directly and helps us keep this a free forum. Your thread may be updated (bumped) once a day. When your sale is completed, please report the information for inclusion in the art's sales history and contact a team member to have the thread locked. Non-compliance with these guidelines may result in the removal of your For Sale/Trade thread.
All members, please refrain from making inflammatory personal comments in another person's For Sale/Trade thread. Failure to comply with this request may result in a ban or suspension of your account.
Please keep in mind Expresso Beans makes no representations or warranties as to the quality, truthfulness, or accuracy of any content posted by any EB Member on Expresso Beans or elsewhere. Expresso Beans shall not be liable for any losses or damages of any kind due to EB Member transactions.
Thank you.
