Kaws x Sorayama "No Future Companion"

When did this go on sale?

 

My announcement email says 11:40 CST.

 

I should have known...boo. But when it's a luxury item like this it's hard to be too upset. I shouldn't spend the money anyway. And the way my luck runs as soon as I bought this I'd need a new muffler or the air conditioner would blow....

 

I had it in the cart, checking out and was about to pull the trigger and then said fuck it, I don't need this. Sure they're already up on eBay for twice the amount and people are chomping at the bit on em...

 

wasn't looking at buying one, but i would definitely like to see actual pictures of this now.

 

Paying the insanely inflated prices is what amazes me. I can't do it anymore. I can't count the number of times I've paid a hefty amount for something only to see it go for 1/2 what I paid 6 months later. I have no problem paying a little extra to cover expenses and such but this...

I realize KAWS might be a different fish all together and won't ever hit its retail price on the secondary market but still... And besides maybe he'll do a white chrome or a gloss black.

 

There is a "chrome" version and a "black chrome" version. Unfortunately the "black chrome" sold out today - that was the one I liked the best...not that I could afford one.

 

I am so out of the loop...Oh well. Like I said, it's hard to be upset about missing out given the state of things...

 

crap. compared to the flipper madness on ebay, $1400 with TT doesn't sound half bad.

still, won't do it though

 

Think u r right - I would love one of these guys - but just cant swing it

 

I would have liked to have one of these, I could swing it but I can't justify it.

You know in the coming weeks / months that some people are gonna be having buyers remorse and trying to flip theirs at a loss. But it still won't be at a price I would feel comfortable paying. I seriously would rather buy og artwork from some of the artists I show then this piece at the end of the day.

 

i'll bet $5 that we won't see this figure sell publicly for less than retail.

 

can you really take bets on a fact?

 

If we were to bet on this, I'd say fair odds would be something to the tune of you putting down a hundred bucks to win a nickel.

 

I'm pretty confident so I'll take that gentleman's bet

 

Looking at it again, it just screams "Sharper Image" store to me.

Also something I'd see on corporate douche's shelf in his office.
An attempt to appear hip or cutting edge yet still be a corporate drone.

 

So true.

 

Hope his cleaning ladies don't know who Kaws is. Yoink.

done. theres one on ebay at $500 right now. interesting to see if it breaks $1000.

another $5 says it will

 

Meanwhile people are flipping them on ebay when they don't even have them in hand yet.
And others are bidding them up (22 Bids to $1,800.00) when there are lower BINs.

 

Unless it's a quirk in timing (BIN's listed post bid) then that's just retarded!

 

I dunno, this looks pretty cool in my opinion.

 

Odd photo, almost looks like its dripping with something cause of the Camille Rose Garcia behind it.

 

this sucks for that last bidder assuming it's a real bid. i've seen one BIN for $1300 with $76 shipping. could be a scam though...
