Uzi Lovers disaster!, by robo on Nov 2, 2007 13:51:57 GMT 1, I have had an Uzi Lovin' disaster story.
It all started early one morning in that stinky alley in Soho. I was in that queue at Laz for 8 hours; turned away in the afternoon with no prints.
I set my heart on a pair of Uzi lovers, so I bought them on Ebay. They were posted out to me and, guess what, the postal strike happened and only one arrived! The other was lost forever, despite being posted out guaranteed next day delivery. I'd like to think it is now in some kind of Micallefian heaven, where angels get their real hands back and live happily ever after brand-free, but I suspect its on the wall of some postie.
Anyway, I have a proposition for anyone who has a matching pair of Uzi Lovers and would like some money back for their outlay.
I will swap your pair of Uzi Lovers for my Uzi Lover 1 plus the refund I will get for my lost print; i.e. ยฃ1250. That way you will get approx ยฃ150 more than market rate for one of your prints (the last 2 to sell on Ebay went for ยฃ1030 and ยฃ1175, so average ยฃ1100 - but most went unsold), you will still have one print left, and I will have a matching pair to put on my wall.
PM me if you are interested...

(No disrespect intended to postmen. Us in the art community rely on them and generally they do a fine job!)

Uzi Lovers disaster!, by lesbianwednesdays on Nov 2, 2007 22:11:58 GMT 1, good luck dude, could you try flogging your remaining print and use the money with the compo from RM to buy a pair while they're still dirt cheap?
the deal you're trying to achieve seems very niche, you would have more luck i think broadening your horizons and i think this might be the only way forward  .
