Bump.

Does Rachel have a new website? None of the URLs in post #1 work anymore.

Have not heard from her in years it seems. I love her work to

Anyone know if there are anymore Crimson Kings left for sale, and if so how to get a hold of her?

[Randall Flagg]

She has gone radio silent.
I talked to her last year when she sent me an email about selling some of her King stuff. I responded and she sent me a follow-up email, then she went missing. She had gone through some traumatic life events.
AFAIK, no one has been successful in contacting her.
Finding a Crimson King piece is going to be challenging...and expensive.

I'm sorry to hear that. I remember her husband had an illness I can't remember now.

The Crimson King sculptures was the item I was looking forward the most but when anounced I just couldn't spend that amount.

Just some info for seekers of the CK.
In June, 2016, I purchased mine for £1,499.00
At the time the Pound was strong. The conversion rate was 1 USD = 0.6805 GBP, thus the Dollar amount I paid was $2,202.57.


IMO, If you can find one now at $4,500 or less, buy it in a heartbeat.

Your saying the state was about $2200USD. I talked to a couple other collectors that stated it worked out to just over $4000Usd and that’s the price I remember to

Do you have any photos of it you can share? I didn’t go all the way through the thread, but did see the bronze. It is a beautiful piece of work for sure. Wish I would have had the smarts to get one when they were offered.

Quoting Rachel here:

One thing I can let you all know at this point is the retail price of the sculptures. It will be £1999 GBP including shipping to most countries. Some far afield places such as Australia and remote/rural adresses may incur a higher shipping cost but I can confirm this at the time. There will be more details and info/T's & C's which I will post once we are ready to go.

At that moment, according to a post by Jerome, it was $2,845 US

Yea but at the time wasn’t the dollar $2.2 usd per pound? Or close to that? Hey I could be wrong but could have sworn that was the price.

[Ari_Racing]

At that point you replied saying it was 4K Canadian.

Yeah I looked back. Maybe that’s why I confused it?

[Ari_Racing]

I remember it was exactly twice my savings and 2K in my pocket would have burnt for a SL. 😁

[Merlin1958]

As I recall, the last contact I had with her was maybe two years ago at which point she was dealing with her husband's health issue and treatment. Back then she was just finishing the first "Crimson King's" and had receieved the shipping box for the sculptures. She was also dealing with the conversion rates of the dollar vs the pound vs Euro if I recall correctly. Also, things were not looking good for her husband. My guess would be that he passed and her finances changed significantly.

That's likely why it is now difficult to get in touch with her. I am not aware of what may have transpired in that time frame, but she was always easy to reach in the past and visited the site quite often. The fact that she is not to be seen cannot bode well for her situation. I truly hope she is doing well though because, a nicer woman you are never going to meet. We used to converse quie regularly.

On my website, back then I wrote 2.6K euros.
So seems about right. And for Kris it was probably CAD, hence why it's jumping to 4k?

I’m almost
Positive Bob told me he oaid around $4k. What was the dollar back then?

[Ari_Racing]

I don't think there's much doubt left, Kris. The prices shared above come from Rachel and all those that commented after her post.

I was just wondering the dollar value. To get the exact USD price. That’s all lol

[Ari_Racing]

On April 01, 2016 the Official USD to GBP Exchange Rate:
Close: 1 USD = 0.7029 GBP

Best: 1 USD = 0.70294 GBP

Worst: 1 USD = 0.70294 GBP

[webstar1000]

I got an email from a chap. It was confirmed to be $2600USD. Sorry for any confusion I caused! Def $4000CAD. Lol

Hi everyone, old friends and new

How are you all doing?

Well, yes, it's been a long time since I was here. A lot has happened in the last couple of years. I see people have been speculating about Mick's health. He's still alive, I think. But the bastard went and left me. So, please feel free to go ahead and trash talk him, I'm looking forward to hearing some creative insults.

Also, my day job went really down hill. I've spent the last couple of years in a pit of depression and anxiety. Lost my job because of this. Currently living back with my parents. Was supposed to be a temporary stop-gap but, three years later, still here. So, yeah, major life changes.

And so my current situation is such that I am, unfortunately, having to sell off my collection of books. I have a lot available so I thought I'd offer them up here first before going to ebay. I must admit I've been out of the market for a long time so am not really up on current values. I've had a google for a rough idea but am looking for offers. Everything must go. There's too much to list here so, if anyone's interested I can send a list.

So, yeah, that's my life in a nutshell

[Br!an]

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Rachel. Hoping for the best for your future.
