GOOD ART HLYWD - A Gallery
-
@worn2fade I bought one (size b) because of their posts, the price increases and FOMO
That said, it looks like I'm quickly heading toward being a brass, copper and tin(man) myself. 
-
@jdwaid I bought another silver BLB for the same reason. I have wanted to upgrade from my OG brass and found one at the old price.
-
Quite a let down for a lot people. I always said Good Art has changed. It booming. But the prices are very greedy becoming ruthless.
I admit I have bought quite a a lot. The price started going up after Covid.
A lot of stuff I brought not worth the price Josh is charging today.
Price of the buddy loop in sliver Is terrible. Many of you are noticing now. For example before this hike. I got my curb chain for $1000 went up by $800 more.
Also I reach out to Good Art. Got told company decision.
For this reason I made my mind up, I will only buy a few things. Not go on a rampage speed for all of it.
I slow down a long time ago. -
This collab would’ve been my choice honestly. But I’m still not ready to drop 1k+ on a silver bracelet lol. I respect the art but I just can’t do that yet, as much as I want to and figure the price would only get worst from here.

Could you imagine if the next restock of IH jeans were $1,100?!"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." -Thomas Edison

@worn2fade I was thinking if in 10-15 years I thrash my current Clip 8 or lose it I won't have to pay $5,000 for a new one in 2035
no telling how much GA will mark it up by then.. Or resell it. -
@Go-For-Chill It might help overcome production issues though..
-
@Go-For-Chill dude if IH jeans were $1,000 I'd cry. I'd be priced out of our hobby.
@Mister_Brue knock on wood

All right, solid question, if the silver price comes down, will we adjust our prices?? Short answer is yes. Caveat is it would need to come down considerably and lock in at a stable point.
In about 35 years of doing this, the price has never come down for more than a short bit. It always goes up.
I’d suggest a little digging on Google, this is different from anytime in the past when silver has gone up dramatically. This time people are aware that we consume more with modern industries than we produce each year.
Really all this means is shits gonna be a little (to a lot) more expensive and we’re going to have to spend a lot more time repricing. That’s a omething we typically only did once every one or two years.
I just wanted to give a heads up in an explanation and I am probably making this sound terrible. It’s not it’s an adjustment. It’s been long overdue.

Every
Day
Ludicrous
CarryGrateful to have the pieces I do.
The increases are harsh, but Good Art has always been something fun, for me, that most normies wouldn’t understand - even at old prices.
It’s actually their customer service that has turned me off the most. Don’t know if I’ve experienced worse, and it will be that that drives me away….
-
At the end of the day, they can charge whatever they want for their product, and we can choose whether we want to pay it. I’ve no skin in the game given I own just a couple of their more “affordable” pieces.
But, as someone who was looking forward to splurging an already hefty sum on some stuff this year, I’ll have to look elsewhere at the markup they’re introducing. I’m sure they don’t take these decisions lightly and know that a lot of existing and loyal customers will now be priced out of buying.
-
@Brandrea Hi mate. This is one of the only shirts I have with button holes. It fits through just fine, but I’m not sure if they are the same size as regular UHF ones.
-
Perfecto!

We'll see how this impacts GAH going forward. There's a lot to consider here.
- Yes, silver spiked. But the price of GAH was already extreme. Does this price it out of certain markets like Canada & the UK? Probably for the most part. There's a breaking point, and there's not a precise science to measure it.
- Can they still thrive in the Asian market (Vinavast is their bigger stockist I believe). Yes, they can.
- Wouldn't it make sense to subsidize entry level pieces like the Belt Loop Buddy with the Model 10? I would've thought so, and they are probably already doing that...but a piece like the Belt Loop Buddy gets so beat up by nature that it makes little sense at that price point...
Regardless, it's a huge bummer for hardcore fans of the brand.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot could you elborate on the customer service part? I've emailed them 2-3 times for general enquiries but never gotten a reply so that left me a slight sour taste to the brand... So would love to hear what you have experienced
