Perhaps I wasn't deep enough...

You've got a good memory johnas!  I contacted him around that time about his Berlin arrow but it was in really bad shape and as he described it, a naff pattern. He ended up giving to a relative in the end. Perhaps he should dust it off and see what it would get now! There were certainly no takers back then. There's another thread or two on Above including videos which I'm sure a thread search would bring up.

this is beyond me !!!
Do those people sell few pieces a year puposely in order to justify the fact of selling them at a high price ?
It's a very strange state of mind !
But as long as people are ready to believe that it's worth the money only because there aren't many....
I feel like an alien !!! lol !

absolute rip off $1000 for an arrow shape bit of ply is a joke.
Its a great idea but after the 1st few arrows its a wee bit boring

He should sell them at $10 - 20 a pop plus postage, and ship them in the thousands, but get customers to make a solemn promise to hang them in public places. Hey presto: an Above Arrow worldwide movement, with thousands of paid-up recruits.
If they start appearing on Ebay, he could just undercut their prices and make the sellers look like tw@ts.

Good on him I think for selling them at whatever price he feels like. For me he's a true street artist, although hes selling them on his site for quite a bit I think he doesnt care much about the money side of things. Hes seems to of been traveling for the better part of a year covering half of Europe with his work. I think he just loves getting the work out there.

You can also see it as a way of supporting his street pieces - i dont think he lives in luxury, and if u have the gold - you probably are. (I dodnt buy one as i couldnt afford it at the moment.)

He use all his time and i guess all his money on his travels to bring this great arrows all around the world (actually dont seem like he has been in the states for a long long time).

So we should think of it as a donation to the cause... of covering the world in arrows!
Where's my credit card

Do some research on the artist ABOVE his work is fucking incredible, you will undoubtedly love it. there's nothing not to love -- great project, great art.
