A Nag Pa I Root (NAGNAGNAG) and der Angora Patio

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

People need to learn when they are being taken advantage of. I don't need anymore reason to hate Tara, but here we are.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

The NNN phenomenon gets more retarded with every release and guys are still buying into it . . . who's dumber!

Auctioning the last one . . . real smooth!

Blech!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Don't hate da playaz,,,,hate da game shizznizz....

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Haha It wasn't just the first guy, pretty much everyone they picked first had to defer, and the runners up won. Maaad awkward.. I haven't seen the video, but my face must have gone sheet white after the price was announced. Would have preferred to stay at the bar if I knew what was about to go down. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

But yeah, good times were had. Thanks for making the night better after that shit guys!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

So did Harry Potter show up or not?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

No.

lol...

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I'm willing to bet, at least 1 will find its way to eBay.

Wow, so CCM is now on strike 2 for a lot of people. Nice way to show your love for these toys and supporters.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

This is probably true, and now that CCM has graciously set the price so high in the name of CHARITY, I'm sure the flipper won't have a problem gratiously doubling or tripling that in the name of his bank account.

You know, on that note, if I really felt like this was a charity event, I don't think I'd feel so bad, but they advertised the shit out of this and maybe mentioned charity once, if at all. Then at the event they were all about charity. It just stunk all around, mostly of greed. This is what it was: "You suckers seem to want this real bad, so we're going to take this last one and give it to the sucker who'll pay the most." It just made me feel dumb and cheap.

Again, gotta stay positive. The pros outweighed the cons last night.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Actually let me throw in strike 3. Remember that 100 pieces for $100 dollars show she had back in like April. They advertised a bunch of nice stuff like kathie olvias and andrew bell and even a Mark "friiggin" Ryden sketch. Well after standing online for 3 hours. I actually was able 2 walk away with 2 pretty cool wooden pieces. When we went to pick them up a month later, Sean " the guy announcing" let it slip that him and TAAA-ra "picked" first and grabbed up the Mark Ryden piece. I don't know but in my book thats seems to be super dick. Never liked her. This just adds more to the fire.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Sounds like shitty people doing shitty things.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I don't understand why waiting until the last minute to reveal the $500 price?!! I feel so bad for the dude that didn't have enough.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I couldn't agree more with you on this.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Plus fucking 1. $500? Fuck off.

Who is the dick making that announcement. I could feel the awkwardness wash over me when he said that and Greg said "reaction shot!" or something along those lines.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

at least they got into the hands of REAL* fans....

*ones with deepest pockets

i feel bad for that guy too.

and the idea that the price doubled to coincide with galleries doing the same? CCM didnt show these pieces, they arent up for a month incurring rent needed to pay for the space. did tara even paint these? or just choose the colors?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Just picked out the colors. She did make the header card. Thats a couple hours on photoshop she'll never get back.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

the original art was over priced as well, 600 each for black ink drawings, i would have been happy getting a color silks screen print of this..

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Wonder how much they paid Shig for these, or if they even gave him anything. CCM came out like a bandit on this one. I've never been upset by all this nag shit, but this time around I really do feel like Shig got taken advantage of and that does upset me. I think he needs to take this project back into his hands and just do it the way he wants.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

cut out the middleman and just flip it directly at the retail level. LAME!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

wow so tara mcpherson nagx3 collabs? that's a little much yeah. when's the j-led coming out? I start the bidding @ 3k go!

Michael McGowan Not that it really matters to you, but the whole Nag debacle makes me sad that I bought my wife, a coffee mug with your artwork on it. You treated a rare opportunity to work with an amazing Japanese artist, as a risk-free way to profit. Please note that this isn't jealousy writing, I'm legitimately saddened by the way you treated your privilege, and I think you owe the fans of Shigeru an apology.

Michael McGowan Also in case you don't understand exactly what the exact issue is, you had originally posted that it would be sold for 200 in store, so people that entered didn't have enough money to pay (as referenced in the video) which isn't as bad, as auctioning off the last one, to squeeze as much money as possible from peoples wallets. On top of everything, saying that 30% of the sale would be given to charity, when you realized people weren't thrilled by the auction. Just say "I'm sorry we have to pay bills" at least that would be honorable."

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think Shig was just trying to get laid. I hope it worked.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

^^

Highly ironic that a toy being "Made in Occupied Japan" gets retail-flipped by greedy American... err... well, cunts.

Much respect to Mr. Cooper for being the only collab artist so far not partaking in this bullshit.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Hey!..You don't have to be sexist.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Didn't mean to. I'm not only referring to Tara herself.
