Damien Hirst - The Archangels, by Acme Thunderer on May 1, 2024 19:58:39 GMT 1, I’m sure that Heni have good intentions with who they allocate these to and try to reward loyalty (and great to hear some members were happy).
Unfortunately, what they are not aware of is that some people they keep selling to have probably sold everything they originally bought so now just feeding the flippers.
The only way to stop the cycle is stop buying from the flippers so they are stuck.

Damien Hirst - The Archangels, by Acme Thunderer on May 1, 2024 17:45:01 GMT 1, The amount of vitriol on this forum is really concerning. I can appreciate people having strong opinions on flipping (I did say it was shameless) but, as far as I am aware, Heni have not imposed any prohibition on the resale of this edition. Had you actually flipped something lots of people wanted then I’m sure others would have really let you know about it (but you should certainly not be surprised).
From what I can see, any vitriol you are experiencing is simply a tickle. 🤗

10FOOT 🇬🇧 Print Release • London Graffiti • Street Art , by Acme Thunderer on May 1, 2024 13:27:09 GMT 1, who's bigger? tox or 10foot? That’s a bit like saying ‘who’s your favourite child’ or ‘who’s your favourite parent’. 🤣
You know the answer, but can’t say. 😉

10FOOT 🇬🇧 Print Release • London Graffiti • Street Art , by Acme Thunderer on May 1, 2024 7:34:38 GMT 1, Can a forum member please help me out. I have read about the artist 10Foot for the past few months on our forum daily and I have googled his name and have perused articles online about his history and I still have no idea why he is so popular. What am I missing ? Are there other forum members who are thinking the same thing, but are just afraid to ask publicly ? In the same way as Shepard Fairey started - it is about repetition and getting your name out there. 10foot and TOX are prolific. You cannot, not see it in London. I guess those who live in or visit London appreciate it more.
For me, the positioning of where the tags appear is the appeal. You wouldn’t see LA2 doing this… 😉

Damien Hirst - The Archangels, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 30, 2024 16:36:55 GMT 1, Where did you get the application numbers from Riotcop? That information hasn't been released yet. I just done this search on Heni Discord.
The 4196 figure is probably made up. Even if true, there will be multiple applications from the same person / gallery (and their distant relatives / pets etc) and they would count an application for all 4 as four applications.
For those that missed out, they might hear again within 48 hours - but I would drop Heni an email to say you want to buy if there is a cancellation. 🙌

New Invader show in Paris, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 30, 2024 13:59:42 GMT 1, Here's to hoping all the merch that was available to buy at the exhibition is going to be available online afterwards. Might be dumb to wait too long after the shows ends ... Sounds like it will probably be easier to buy online than at the exhibition itself. I’m sure it is meant to be the other way around. 😀

Damien Hirst - The Archangels, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 30, 2024 13:45:14 GMT 1, Congrats to those who scored - I’m sure they will look great and will be a statement piece.
I liked them but couldn’t justify to myself to spend £7,500 on something that is not either a screenprint or original. Hopefully I won’t regret it.

Crepe City - trainers (genuine / fake experience), by Acme Thunderer on Apr 29, 2024 20:12:44 GMT 1, I went to the Crepe City in Manchester last weekend and wondered if anyone had any experiences of people selling fakes (as you can buy and sell there)?
I’m not a sneakerhead (in that I don’t just keep trainers new in box) but I do like to wear collectable trainers so have a good feel of what is genuine as I actually wear them daily.
I didn’t bother buying anything in the end as there were a few stands who had fake versions of trainers that I had bought in the last 12-18 months and immediately felt different to ones I owned.
I don’t blame the organisers as they can’t vet the stock on the stalls, but I would rather chance it on eBay or StockX as at least someone can verify them.

Banksy - I Fought The Law Signed 11/150 For Sale, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 27, 2024 21:05:51 GMT 1, Jeez - you know that you don’t try and sell your OWN items on someone else’s thread. You must be joking that you don’t know that. 100% agree. You absolutely do not try and sell your own items on someone else’s thread And adding a link to an active sale listing is no different that trying to sell your own items. So you absolutely do not do that either. You think it makes any difference to the OP who is selling the listing added to their thread? Seriously? A competitive listing is a competitive listing. “Jeez” I guess the difference and moral stance is then about who is profiteering.

Banksy - I Fought The Law Signed 11/150 For Sale, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 27, 2024 20:53:32 GMT 1, But that’s not mine and it doesn’t excuse you for advertising your own. You wouldn’t like it if someone advertised on your sales thread, so no need to do it on someone else (regardless of how the thread has gone). You have to be joking. Right? I mean, seriously. Gag, right? Is this your actual logic: that your advertising someone else's sale is somehow different than someone else advertising their own sale? Jeez - you know that you don’t try and sell your OWN items on someone else’s thread.

But that’s not mine and it doesn’t excuse you for advertising your own.

JR new release today, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 25, 2024 23:20:53 GMT 1, Was he dumped by Heni after the NFTs tanked?
This could be the first Avant Arte timed release that only makes two digits.
The only improvement would be making this print even smaller (if that is possible).

UK Import Customs Charges 🇬🇧, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 25, 2024 15:17:27 GMT 1, I’ve got DHL to amend their invoice before (from 20% to 5% when all documents were done correctly). Luckily for me they delivered the item before payment. It took months to sort, but I kept photographic evidence of everything and I badgered them so when they chased me I could prove I was chasing them (this is what helped me win my case). The entire company is useless but they will back down if you prove you are right.
