Its not about the money, by cherrypicker on Sept 10, 2007 19:11:01 GMT 1, I’m not trying to twist anyone’s melon but lets have a little bit of honesty on the Banksy forum I hear a lot of people going on about how its not about how much the print is worth as long as you like it tell that to the guys & girls who’s prints are still in the tubes tucked up under their beds because they don’t want to touch it in case there hands should mark it and devalue it. A lot of people say buy what you like but this begs the question why are there so many people selling there prints on e-bay to make a quid or two for that new extension or that new car out side its print politics so lets have some honesty and hold up your money grabbing hands and tell the people the truth who’s in it for the cash

Thats right- by picking these 2 out I don't mean to belittle the other fine collections up there but I'd be amazed if either Brut or Artapartment have a single piece under the bed.
I would imagine Artapartment thinks that even having a bed is a waste of good galleryspace

cherrypicker as well as being annoyingly hard to read this is also very naive.most people have changing tastes if you can believe it.otherwise I would still have postman pat pictures on my walls..as for not wanting to 'get it grubby' well theres a shock! amazingly having fingerprints all over my prints has little appeal,as I would think it does for anyone who has any respect for what they bought..your judgemental outlook grates as I doubt you are the re-incarnation of mother teresa and I remember your earlier post fishing for info on whether you had 'overpaid' for a stef print.

Its not about the money, by pezlow on Sept 10, 2007 20:06:34 GMT 1, I think you'll find that most people selling prints from this forum are selling them to buy more art, not a new car or a new extension. The majority of people who regularly post on this forum love their art. Sure there is a bit of buying and selling that goes on but that is just economic realities. It's easy when you first start collecting to say "I will never sell anything" but becomes harder after you have quite a bit and tastes change.
Anyway who are you to come on here and tell people what they should or shouldn't be doing with their art collection?

Its not about the money, by Daniel Silk on Sept 10, 2007 20:33:20 GMT 1, Its just a fact of life 
When you buy a House, Car, Art Canvas or Print Money changes hands, and you want to know you got a good deal. Nobody wants to buy anything that they know would go down in value  OK, you can say that you only got a print coz you love the image, and thats great! ;D but you still dont want to spend thousands on it if you dint have too

was it rude cherrypicker?you are quite delicate aren't you?obviously our idea of what is 'rude' differs somewhat.judgemental posts from people who don't know if they have been ripped off for a stef print or not tend to irritate..
now you suggest the likes of myself or pezlow shouldn't be on the forum because we responded to your post with more bite than others.so not telling people what do whilst doing just that is something else you have mastered along with broadly generalising 4000 people on a forum.well done

So my reply was rude but you telling us to "hold up your money grabbing hands" was ok?

Its not about the money, by rob123rob on Sept 10, 2007 22:20:18 GMT 1, i have recently sold on ebay and recently bought on ebay, all in the name of art. just because someone on this forum is selling a print on ebay doesn't mean they're a flipper...some of us are building up to pieces that we wouldn't normally be able to afford, and in the process we end up keeping the ones that really stick to our ribs. It's not an issue of money grubbing, it's an issue of art grubbing...big difference
