Anyone ever bought from We Love PopArt?, by linter on May 18, 2012 18:31:58 GMT 1, Their site is: www.welovepopart.com
I am (er, was) in negotiation to buy a Keith Haring Barking Dogs print from a private owner. He tells me he bought the print 2.5 years ago from We Love Popart, while in England, and that the print comes with a COA from WLPA. So, I started doing some digging and ...
Seems like at least a few people have bought fake Harings from a co called We Love Pop Art. Seems like the same outfit. Anyone had any dealings w/ them? Here's the scam complaint:
allante-keels.pissedconsumer.com/this-is-a-total-lie-20111107273488.html .
Finally, the print I'm looking at is 66/200 and, as it happens, WLPA still shows that particular print, 66/200, as still for sale ... even though it was supposedly sold 2.5 years ago.
I'm passing on the deal; just too many weirdnesses; but I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone can shed some light on the situation.

Do some threads get deleted? I posted about these guys recently, yet when I looked at my posting history it wasn't there anymore.

Anyone ever bought from We Love PopArt?, by linter on May 19, 2012 7:50:43 GMT 1, JP: I think I posted on that thread; didn't realize it was the same guys. I wonder who this seller is, though, who claims to have bought the print from Pop? He's got it up for sale on craigslist now: toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/art/3024186399.html . When I told him about Pop's site still having the print for sale and about its reputation, he emailed back with: " I checked out the site and see the piece, but I don't think he is trying to sell that one, only using it as a sample. The consumer site you sent also appears to be describing the same company, but I have learned that the many people either have great experiences buying art or terrible one's. There are often there are 2 sides to every story and I would be interested in seeing their feedback on the buyer. I guess I have been lucky buying my art so far."
Not exactly the reaction I would have had, had someone just told me my piece of artwork was most likely a fake.

Anyone ever bought from We Love PopArt?, by .dappy on May 19, 2012 23:46:59 GMT 1, Wearology (mod) is onto this - to find the orig thread and bring it back and/or put it into the 'Members Sales Feedback 'stickee' thread to keep forever.
With a bit of forensic searching, found part of the thread myself:
(Was this (part of) the one or another scammer thread?)
