Price Decal Reproduction

[Inigo Montoya]

on ebay sticky-bikes84 http://stores.ebay.co.uk/sticky-bikes84_W0QQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118QQtZkm offers a lot of decals. i asked them for some decals for my marin frame and got the following offer: "... £55.00 including postage & will supply a spare set."
is the price ok? (i think it is, but would like to know your opinion)
has anyone had experience with sticky-bikes84 or their decals?

That's a complete bloody rip-off if you ask me! :shock:

I am guessing his price will be based on the time it will take to re-draw the artworks; it’s obvious the material costs are the smallest part of the job as he is happy to do 2 sets.

If he is re-drawing them properly, it could take easily a couple of hours assuming they are not just a single colour lettering, so a little expensive but justified.

Most of his work appears to be straight forward vinyl work rather than multicoloured printed images, however I may be wrong.

The whole copyright issue seems very strange, I can't believe he can repeatedly get away with selling volumes of current and very recent decal sets without issues with the manufactures or distributors.

Anybody could easily "re-brand" an alloy frame as a "Specialised" and only a knowledgeable person would know the difference.

I don't agree with this, I do a lot of decal repro work and will only do work for Original owners of Original frames and nothing newer than 2000 with the exception of On-One frames.

If you have a link to an image of the decals you are looking for I would happily give you some free advice or a quote to reproduce a set, if only as a guide
