Cool but overpriced
Cool but overpriced
I've seen various threads over the past few months relating to cool items where the seller was asking for way too much money so I thought I would start a thread devoted to the subject. I will offer the following:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shepard-Fairey- ... 19d56d0c50
Bad Brains silkscreen on wood (2002) 10k starting bid, 15k BIN
Definitely cool but overpriced IMHO.

Re: Cool but overpriced
It was. Wasn't that price even higher to start? There are probably five others on eBay that also served as inspiration.halopigg wrote:Guess this was one of the inspirations.....

Re: Cool but overpriced
That is an amazing piece. However, it appears that the frame was made by an "8th grade shop class." According to a recent post on one of the threads, OG is still using that same "shop class" today.
Re: Cool but overpriced
Very cool piece. The price is a little high for right now. Horrible time to be selling big ticket items.
3-4 years ago it would have been in the "look at what this sold for" thread.
In a few years it will be well worth the buy it now price.
IMHO

Re: Cool but overpriced
This exact piece sold in June 2011 at the Santa Monica Auctions for 7.5k. Including the auction fees, the buyer probably walked out with it for $9 - 9.5K. Fantastic image but overpriced. .toyroom wrote:I really love this image but I think it's overpriced.

Re: Cool but overpriced
i do have a vague recollection of having seen it before... something tells me they're holding out for the right buyer. i bet they'd get a better price in a different venue

Re: Cool but overpriced
I think its cool. It is definitely way overpriced. My favorite part of the listing is "After leaving I came across a wall covered in these wheat pasted posters promoting the show. I managed to get one off the wall that didn't rip. It sat in a tube for years and one day I retrieved it and trimmed it a slight bit to fit this frame I had laying around."

I like the bit about "I'm sure no one has one of these...almost guaranteed."

Seems overpriced to me but it is definitely cool.

Re: Cool but overpriced
Maybe I'm wrong, but weren't those "canvases" for sale 4 or so years ago for like $100 through an online site? There is probably a thread on here somewhere.jjttdw wrote:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Obey-Visua ... 2ec712ae93

I wonder what kind of offers the seller has gotten.

yes and they are just point of sale promotional pieces that were given to retailers to help sell obey clothing.Shonquan wrote:Maybe I'm wrong, but weren't those "canvases" for sale 4 or so years ago for like $100 through an online site?

Re: Cool but overpriced
Yep, that's what I remember. There was also a few Big Brother City ones as well, right?fribhey wrote: yes and they are just point of sale promotional pieces that were given to retailers to help sell obey clothing.
Re: Cool but overpriced
I bid on one of the Big Brother City pieces a couple years back but didn't win and I think it sold for a little more than $200. IShonquan wrote:Yep, that's what I remember.

Re: Cool but overpriced
Ha Ha! this guy bought these from craigslist for 200$ in LA. they were listed for 300$. What a deal. seller was asking for cash and i didnt have any at the time, or i would of jumped on em. I think pricing so high when you payed sooooooo much less is greedy as hell. Thats life i guess.
Re: Cool but overpriced
I have to dust this thread off to add the gem below. I know variants sell for more but $7500 for this particular image?? I've hung some outrageous numbers on prints before but I've never quite stretched this high.

Re: Cool but overpriced
Looks like they dropped it to $5k. Still overpriced but, that's actually a pretty rare set.Jessica Ravelo wrote:Ha Ha! this guy bought these from craigslist for 200$ in LA. they were listed for 300$.
