Title: appetite for democracy Post by: guitarphix on April 12, 2014, 02:51:15 PM I was wondering if any of you knew about the litho they gave away with the VIP packages. Did they make a cheap poster version of it or have they been counterfeited? My original was damaged so I went and bought one off ebay and it was a cheap poster looking thing. Any info would be appreciated
Thanks Greg Title: Re: appetite for democracy Post by: MNGS717 on April 12, 2014, 09:31:59 PM I was wondering if any of you knew about the litho they gave away with the VIP packages.

Any info would be appreciated Thanks Greg If you bought it from "iloveblackbox" it seems like they are selling the same one over and over again. If you actually had the original you should be able to tell the difference. Is your original printed on card stock?

These have been counterfeited repeatedly by "Iloveblackbox" who was formerly another seller whose name escapes me at the moment; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Guns-N-Roses-Las-Vegas-Residency-Final-Concert-Show-Poster-11-24-12-Hard-Rock-/201070998989?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ed0c3f5cd And if you check her feedback there is a number of them that have been sold. I recently brought this topic up again here; https://www.facebook.com/groups/336118726443937/permalink/667016480020825/ Also, since we're on the topic of counterfeits the eBay seller "Concertgirl" (Gina Zamparelli, a former club promoter in the LA area) has been selling copies of copies for the last roughly five years; http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&item=251498623947&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&_osacat=0&hash=item3a8e7c73cb&_ssn=concertgirl&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xguns&_nkw=guns&_sacat=0&_from=R40 The sad thing is, people STILL keep buying the fucking things. When you go through her feedback there's literally hundreds of sales of the same ten or twelve flyers.

Title: Re: appetite for democracy Post by: Ja5oN on April 19, 2014, 05:00:42 PM I went to the 2012 Vegas shows. After your picture was taken at the meet and greet they handed you your lithograph (? carboard poster thingy). I got two because my ex was with me. Luckily I was staying at the HardRock, so I went up to the room and deposited them for safe keeping before the show started. I saw numerous people trying to enjoy the concert, have a few drinks and hold their lithographs during the show (crazy).
Anyways, I sold one on ebay (I didn't need 2).....don't remember but I think I got $100 for it, but it was in perfect condition and i spent $20 mailing it to the guy, The other one I had framed (cost $200) and hangs in my living room. (http://i61.tinypic.com/17qqt1.jpg) |
