Ai Weiwei Sunflower Seeds, by Baby Dave on Mar 10, 2012 20:02:42 GMT 1, At least the ones on eBay were for 100 seeds, not just one. I still really like these and the thought and effort behind them though!!!

Ai Weiwei Sunflower Seeds, by rottenredrooster on Mar 10, 2012 20:13:16 GMT 1, Just buy them off eBay for £1 each.
£31 including shipping is a clear confidence trick. Hoping that people will rush buy them because they are by Ai Weiwei, not knowing that they are available for 30x less.

Ai Weiwei Sunflower Seeds, by wentos on Mar 10, 2012 20:17:45 GMT 1, It does seem rather expensive. Although reading the eBay listings, those ones are from the factory that Weiwei used but not used in the Tate Modern installation. These ones appear to have actually been used in the installation unless I'm mistaken

I believe the ones from the Tate exhibit are worth £3.50 each.

see now that's a good deal. i'd like a few at that sort of price - not to put in a frame or anything, just to carry around in my pocket, so i could just walk around with some tiny pieces of art about my person. i think that's really nice.

Ai Weiwei Sunflower Seeds, by Michael Jacob on Mar 13, 2012 18:13:13 GMT 1, LOVE, love the piece. I had the chance to buy when posted on the forum, but didnt pull the trigger. my biggest non-buy of 2011.
as for the seed, id pay 25 if i knew it was from the installation, and not just from from the producer/supplier.

Looking for seeds at 1GBP each, five seeds would do !!
