Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 30, 2017 20:40:50 GMT 1, UPDATE: Kaikaikiki just replied to me: "Thank you for your email. I have forwarded your email to the appropriate person at Baitme. You should be hearing from them directly if you haven't already. Please feel free to be back in touch. Best regards," Fingers crossed! BAIT finally answered: "BAIT Customer Care Specialist (BAIT) Mar 30, 09:17 PDT Hello, Once we are ready to receive the recalled items we will contact you about this matter. Best Regards" I do not know if this is a good sign or not...
Two more messages from BAIT:
"BAIT Support (BAIT) Mar 30, 11:27 PDT
Hello, Return address will be provided after it's decided, and kindly rest assured. Just make sure to keep the shipping receipt, and we will process a partial refund for the shipping cost."
AND (after my query about returning costs)
"BAIT Support (BAIT) Mar 30, 12:14 PDT
Hello, Yes. We will cover the return shipping in full. After address is confirmed, we will let you know. Kindly keep the receipt and show it to us after everything is done. We will process the funds as partial refund onto your order. But of course, it will be covered in full.
Best regards."
Hope this will help someone else here in the forum!

Banksy Artwork, VALUATION, by sharky on Mar 30, 2017 13:37:36 GMT 1, ORIGINAL DISMALAND STEWARD PIECE Hi All, I was one of the original Dismal Stewards who worked at Banksy's Dismaland in Weston Super Mare. At the end of our 8 week stint, the 40 of us were given a unique print made and hand signed by Banksy for the terrible job we did. With the opening of Banksy's Walled Off Hotel and hoping to make some money, firstly I would like to gage how much I should ask for it(?) and secondly if there's anyone out there who is interested (?) I know a colleague of mine sold his for more than ยฃ3000 last year... Thanks in advance. ![](http://preview.ibb.co/eq1Vov/dismal.jpg) Would you kindly post some pictures of the "unique" print. I am afraid it did not come with a certificate from PEST and I am also afraid that it would be difficult to obtain one...did you give it a try?

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 30, 2017 13:35:12 GMT 1, I have had further correspondence with BAIT and notwithstanding I told them that I know that they offered the replacement they keep on offering me ridiculous amounts. At the moment, the offer (which I declined) is $100. I will keep on trying to obtain the replacement as per their email to other forum members (which, unfortunately, I did not receive).

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 29, 2017 17:33:54 GMT 1, When did you get this? Did you make a PayPal claim? Thanks! i think the email was sent to those who ordered the set since those were the only ones shipped so far. my buddy, who ordered the set and hasn't reached out to them yet regarding the issues, received the email this morning from bait. i ordered the single color and haven't heard anything from them since ordering it.ย
Thanks!
I have ordered and received a set but not this email. I have rather received a proposal of $70 as a refound...just trying to understand what are they doing...

"Thank you for forwarding this email between Baitme and you. Please stand by while I will be forwarding this information to the appropriate contact at our company, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
My sincere apologies for the trouble caused.
Kind regards, Saeko"
It seems that things are moving in the good directions.

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 28, 2017 11:25:46 GMT 1, Same here. Seriously a 3% refund is a bit insulting on a 600$ item... Seems to me that the folks at Baitme are a bunch of assholes who would rather screw customers than take up the issue with suppliers and offer some assistance Was wondering whether trying the paypal route, possibly with some proof of restoration costs would be worth it? Anyone try to get in touch with Murakami's crew / Kaikai Kiki ? These are still beautiful pieces, and fortunately the massive thumbprint on mine is on the base so it can still be displayed. But that doesn't change the fact that it is bad form to openly screw customersย they offered me now $50 in the second mail... no way !
Same here $50...I am really thinking about the PayPal route! I emailed Kaikaikiki staff but never got a reply

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 25, 2017 17:34:03 GMT 1, Hopefully these found issues will cause them to inspect the next shipments and prevent further disappointments.
I don't think so...read my previous post where I pasted their reply on inspections...

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 25, 2017 17:33:04 GMT 1, I confirm that these are not shipping damages. The outside boxes (two) and the bubble wrap was fine. We all need to complain to Bait and Murakami (I tried via IG...maybe someone will let him know) as this is unacceptable and not in line with Murakami's standards.
Keep you posted with developments!

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 25, 2017 12:44:45 GMT 1, Both mine have some blemishes which could be worked out by a professional restorer that I know. However, I wrote to BAIT to check with them the situation and I have been offered a refund of....$50! Are you kidding?
By the way, they also wrote me this (very scary!):
"BAIT Customer Care Specialist (BAIT) Mar 24, 15:56 PDT
Hello,
We do apologize for the inconvenience. It looks like the paint issue was done during the manufacturing process of this item and it certainly did not happen when we shipped it. Unfortunately inspection of the item upon delivery to us was not conducted since we too believe that these items were properly taken care of and if inspection were to be conducted it would require opening the sealed box. That being said we may offer you a refund of $30 for the issues mentioned. Pelase let us know.
Best Regards"
Of course this is not the last email but just to give you an idea of the sitation.
I will keep on writing to Bait to see what it can be done and keep you people here posted.
I will post pictures as soon as I have time to do that.

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by sharky on Mar 25, 2017 2:08:37 GMT 1, The designs are great, but I am bummed to disagree with you guys on quality. Mine both had noticeable ย paint blemishes on the face area. They have a 'Chinese Quality" and poison smell like a Kid Robot toy. The producing company Bait was once called Mindstyle( read up on that s**tstorm) I believe these are made from resin/plastic not soft vinyl. Bingo.... Mine also had a few blemishes! ย
It is definetively not Murakami quality
