D*Face x Smirnoff, by xmyart on Jun 18, 2012 19:37:51 GMT 1, Your not wrong there babydave. I would have one of these in a heartbeat, and as soon as they go sensible, i will. Stunning, but way over priced for now.

D*Face x Smirnoff, by Daniel Silk on Jun 18, 2012 19:40:54 GMT 1, I get a very strong feeling people are trying to play down the value of these 
If they ever seriously got to bellow 100  I would be snapping them up all day long! Even if I ended up with the whole edition ;D
If you don't want to pay what they are asking, then just leave it.

If you don't get what you want you could cancel the sale under the guise of some crapola reason.
Ring any bells?

D*Face x Smirnoff, by xmyart on Jun 18, 2012 19:45:45 GMT 1, Really Silky? What would you pay then?
im looking at an unsigned edition of 250. Most of which seem to be with people that dont really want them.
Thats going to mean lots on ebay, and pretty low prices. They may be "worth" more, but if you cant sell them, down goes the price. Not sure thats exactly playing down their value.
If it is, i shall assume you have a few already :-)

D*Face x Smirnoff, by Shoot Again on Jun 18, 2012 19:47:23 GMT 1, I really like these. Im not really a fan of sculptures/mini installations in my place, but can see this fitting in well. The only downside is the price of them (well the price people are asking for them). Charturz is right about the last one going for ยฃ180...... i still think thats a lot! Someone mentioned on another thread on these about waiting for the hype to die down a bit and snapping one up for sub 100. I think i may try and do the same! Anyway, for the sake of interest, are you able to upload some pics of your one? I understand they are all different in their own subtle ways.
That was me (mentionning expected < ยฃ100 in a near future);-) Actually my max bid has just gone down to ยฃ90 ! ;-) And what is this about not being allowed to give our view on what a fair price is  ยฃ500 for an edition of 250 that was given away for free ? I do agree, somebody is taking the piss and should be told so...

I feel this was directed at me so I'll reply directly.
I'm not playing down value, I'm just saying that I think the current asking prices are far too high. None of these have sold for more than รยฃ200 as far as I'm aware (please correct me if I'm wrong though). I personally think that 500 for this is far too much and won't sell. Weren't they giveaways? (again, correct me if I'm wrong).
Hoping that these will drop below 100 is most likely a pipe dream but one I can still dream about.
My personal limit for these would be around รยฃ150.
The skill and sculpture aspect, again in my opinion, is very limited.
Oh and to respond to your last line... I don't want to pay what they're asking so I am leaving it. Just thought I'd share my opinion on this piece.

Almost perfect analysis, except that most people will think the whole thing is butt ugly

The Smirnoff PR team must be a bunch of tools... the effort that went into this edition and the installation was really quite inspired... but they failed to capitalise on D*'s influence.
IMO...It just seems like a 'wasted' opportunity.
Smirnoff dropped the ball after D* knocked it out of the park...!

It created more buzz for D*Face and eBay than it did for Smirnoff.
Waste of time, money, and more money.
That could have been a banana in that block of concrete for all the D*Face fans could care.
And if you're in the market for vodka, is that kind of thing really going to get you to switch to Smirnoff?

I was offered ยฃ250 for mine (but it is signed) but I won't be parting with it! These things always seem ugly when money comes into something that was given away!
I think it's worth getting your hands on one at a decent price if you can and it will look good next to the mass market version that will be filling the shelves later in the year which I'm sure we'll all be buying just incase...

Smirnoff is the last vodka i would recommend drinking.
Go real Russian or Ukrainian and keep it in the freezer.
Not this mass produced english mock russian crap.
Ohhh you mean the dface?
Meh.
Whats next? Fosters? Dooleys? Babycham?
Cringe.

D*Face x Smirnoff, by bullet on Jun 18, 2012 23:37:11 GMT 1, I was initially interested then the more you think about it, the more cringeworthy the whole exercise is.
As someone said, that could be any bottle in that concrete. What exactly is the PR idea with the tie in with smirnoff?
It is desperate and confused. Gimmicky.
Some pr chumps have sat round a table and gone... Right chaps... How do we tie in smirnoff in with an artist? Cue the list of artists...Oh we cant have banksy, we cant have 'shep', we cant have hirst. Who is this guy? Oh thats dface. Yeah he'll do. He will be cheaper than the others anyway, it will save us xxxx pounds and create tons of publicity.
No relation at all. And they failed miserably.
Also, you would have thought dface could be arsed to sign all of them and not just those who begged for it. Don't get a big head dean, one day you might need those people.

ยฃ500 for an edition of 250 that was given away for free ? I do agree, somebody is taking the piss and should be told so...
