I already ordered one for my wife , it’s gonna make a pretty cool christmas gift.
Only 50 made , I wonder which # I’m gonna get.
ttmo said on October 26, 2003 20:27:
The price is outrageous , but I know she’ll love it and that’s priceless.
I would never spend that kind of money on this if it was for myself 8)

If I were married, it would mean I would be working and rich!! But I’m just a student and no way I could pay wow 152 euros? Woof!

The dvd will do as an xmas gift ;P as Gessle has already left me broke this year I can’t afford for him to ruin my GT tour next year ;)

I saw that picture, too, but it´s too expensive. :o
That looking really great, but by all love to Roxette, I haven´t the money before xmas and I wouldn´t have the money after xmas, I will buy me a new car next year and will go to the GT-Tour for some shows, I must decite what is more importand for me: New Car AND GT-Tour OR The Picture and I think I´ve choose the car and the tour.
But congrats to all who buy one of the pictures.

They really need money!
This piece is *not* even official! Limited doesn’t mean it is official... I mean, anybody can go to a painter with a picture and ask to have such frame or a portrait done, ask for 10 pieces and then sell them as “limited”!
And the price? You can get pencil-drawings/portraits in the streets for 150 SEK! And they even paint the whole portrait, not only some part on a frame.
What will be next? ;-)

Quote: “This piece is *not* even official! Limited doesn’t mean it is official. I mean, anybody can go to a painter with a picture and ask to have such frame or a portrait done”.
Why does an artistic peice have to be official endorsed in order for us to appreciate it’s beauty? And how insulting to the artist to suggest that anyone can just simply go to a painter and achieve the same results.
@ OIRFC
Congratulations to the artist on a great peice of work. Shame about the price.
camillarox said on October 27, 2003 11:08:
they are selling this piece at such an expensive rate as if it would be something official - and add the “limited” magic words to it - when it is not. The only thing I want to point out is the high price for such a piece, and we even seem to agree ;-)
I didn’t say anything about the skills of the artist at all, did I?
gyllene_tjej said on October 27, 2003 12:55:
of course, the price sux, it is absolutely NOT worth the money no matter how cool it looks :)
lonely_girl said on October 27, 2003 19:19:
Faar 2 expensive for me... BTW, my concert photos look more gorgeous than that one which is on offer .... ;-)))
maiken said on October 27, 2003 19:44:
@ ttmo: hope you don’t get too sad about all of the negative feedback. I think it’s really cool that you want to buy it for your wife!! You’ll both get enjoyment from it!!
Love, Maiken

@camillarox: You are sooo right! Exactly what I thought when I read about it!!
DaminehGessle said on October 27, 2003 21:19:
Camillarox: I agree that it is expensive as I’ve stated above. But it is official as the FC is selling it hehe. Art pieces are usually expensive no matter what.
mihnea27 said on October 28, 2003 08:14:
I ordered one too.
I calculated 150 x 50 = 7500 EUR. :)
For this amount, I hope that someone from the FC could afford a trip to Halmstad and get it all signed, what do you think? :)
I think it would be a nice idea that all photos will be signed first and then framed.
The rest of you, what is your opinion?
LittleGirl78 said on October 28, 2003 10:07:
No the pics wouldn´t be signed, then I would make me thought to buy it still, LOL. OK self if it would be signed I had not the money for it, but at least I would make me thought then. ;-)
mihnea27 said on October 28, 2003 10:07:
I am sure it will, if more people will buy it, the greater chances are to be signed by Per :)
Because I believe it’s easier for FC people to ask Per to sign 50 copies at once than to ask him to sign 10 now, 10 next months and so on.
So, it’s up to you, roxers, if you hurry, and buy them fast, before they are going to be framed, you might get a bigger chance of a nice Christmas surprise :)))
Be good and buy one of them and Santa Per will autograph it for you :)))))
LOL
Have A Nice Day!
Joyride007 said on October 28, 2003 10:10:
Hmmm...it is very expensive. I am happy, that I will get money for Per DVD :)
Jud (moderator) said on October 28, 2003 10:14:
@ mihnea (&everybody): nobody has confirmed that the frames will be signed, so far, they WON’T, so people bear that in mind.. the latest message may lead to missunderstandings.. and people later complaining here that the FC promised signed frames.. when we haven’t :)
per_mson said on October 28, 2003 10:22:
@mihnea: You say that we should hurry up and buy them. But if we can´t afford then? You seem to have way too much money at least not thinking it is too expensive with 150 Euro! ;)
mihnea27 said on October 28, 2003 16:15:
I was just trying to see a possibility for them to be signed. But, as Judith made it clear - THERE WILL BE NO SIGNED COPY.
...and about the price: I can make a bet right now that in a few months a few framed copies will be sold on ebay as high rarities with prices over 200 EUR... just wait and see...
:)
rox on!
Vixzter said on October 28, 2003 17:08:
So you’re buying to sell it on??? Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.....and if its too much for ppls to buy now I don’t see it going for anymore than you’re going to buy it for.
camillarox said on October 28, 2003 18:16:
why should such item be sold more expensive than _real_ collector pieces such as Mamas Barn or other rare singles or LPs? I really don’t understand some of you. Would you pay the same or even more for a bootleg?
This frame is not a “unique collectors item” as they want to sell it, neither is it official, I even doubt the management is aware of such business.
Anybody could go to an artist and ask for 10 paintings of a Per or Marie portrait (just as some people sell watches or even trucks!) and sell them as exclusive limited edition at Ebay, it would be just the same, the only difference is that one comes from the fc and the other would come from a private person.
Actually if I was to spend some money to own such a portrait to hang on my living room, I would go to a local artist and have it done just for ME...
Oh yeah, have fun spending your money!
ally77 said on October 28, 2003 20:21:
I would buy if I could afford to to sell on and make a big profit in about 5 years time... anything that is in a limted number goes higher in price... even someone who was not a Per fan would buy if limted to 50!
ted_rox said on October 28, 2003 20:30:
agree with you- let them spend the money if they want I wont biuy such thing
mihnea27 said on October 28, 2003 20:47:
I will buy it just for me, not for sell it. My point was that now all are saying it’s too expensive, and in a few months there will be some people who will see this item for the first time and buy it (NOT FROM ME) at very high prices. THIS is what I intended to say :)
Like, for example, the high prices of the RIAA awards on ebay :(
Rox on!
per_mson said on October 28, 2003 20:49:
@camillarox: You talked about bootlegs and if they are worth more than normal releases. Go to www.ebay.de (Germany) and look around for Roxette bootlegs there. Then you can see that some people pay more for a bootleg than a normal release. I have honestly been shocked now and then when they pay 30-40 Euros for such a thing.
Vixzter said on October 28, 2003 22:23:
What if it doesn’t gain in value? Personaly....if I spend £100 on sommit I’d want to keep it wether it gains or not, coz if you pay that much for something it has to be worth keeping? or am i wrong.
Joyride007 said on October 29, 2003 08:04:
I would like to buy it ...but I haven’t got a money. Isn’t there any generous millionaire? (write me mail) :-D
I don’t earn, so it is so hard for me get some money... :-/
maiken said on October 26, 2003 20:21:
Hmm... €152,50 is a LOT of money for a picture! I have that kind of pictures myself!
Anyways, congrats to you all who will get this lovely thing on your wall!! It looks really nice!!! :o)
