I have been offered one of these, but I'm really not sure about the price. I have been offered it for around GBP 8000. Anyone got one to sell for less then that? (any color with editon 25 or less)

£8k for a standard colour (not one of the vip ones) seems a lot to me.

Jaysus, I should coco...

[saint]

Yep i'm pretty sure thats OTT price-wise.

Although saying that i thought over 2k for teddy riot was OTT so what do i know these days...

[dantefires]

Who offered you this for 8k? Prices for CYW are just silly atm...

[craigf]

No way is that the going rate for any other than the VIP ones, which are super pricey!

[Gard]

Prices are going way up because of the one that sold for £12 000 hammer price, don't remember where. Anyone know of one that have a reasonable price?

[Gard]

Philips auction end February www.phillips.com/detail/BANKSY/UK030113/86
I think a few posts after this result referred to manipulation of prices. Maybe better to wait until the buzz dies down, look at soup can prices now.

Sorry if I sound suspicious but I find it strange that in one sentence you're claiming prices are going 'way up' yet in another you're claiming you want one for a reasonable price?...after you've added about £2k+ to the supposed value already.....as far as I'm aware these are not yet even fetching anything like £8000.  Are you sure you're not selling one?.

[Gard]

I'm not selling. I want to buy one and I'm just quoting what the seller tells me. But if everyone is saying that 8000 is a bit to much I will stay away from it. What I really would like to know is how much people want to pay for one of these.

BTW if anyone have a vip color they want to sell me please send me a pm

Whilst an interesting work it is not iconic IMO..unless its a variation which is close the haring palette.

otherwise it's far too high and therefore potential fiction.

doesnt touch works such as gangsta , which may be available for less.

Alas if this is the one for you.. Go for it.

[saint]

There are certainly more iconic pieces to pick up for less than 8k. Soupcan coloured edition of 10 would cost less and in my opinion is far more iconic, if i had 8k to play with i'd pick up a coloured soupcan and go on holiday with the rest.

theres a bomb hugger on the bay for £6800 !!

I personaly wouldnt want a tesco value soup can on my wall for more than a week, Choose Your Weapon 'S on the other hand I would collect them all if I could, great image and size

Each to their own, i'd much rather have a collection of coloured soupcans than CYW's on my wall.

I agree with Warmgum, this thread is intended to hype prices!!! I know of 2 CYWs ed 25s that have sold this week, privately for around the 5.5k mark.......these are not worth 8k

[Coach]

With you 100% saint. Much prefer soupcan.

Now that is a classic. One of my personal favourites. 

[Deleted]

Anyone know of a CYW going for £5500 please let me know !

[lee3]

>>>as far as I'm aware these are not yet even fetching anything like £8000<<<

I paid 8 for a red last year and thought (still do) it was more than fair.

[Warm Gun]

Well you would say that wouldn't you Lee3, otherwise you'd be admitting that you're a fool for paying such a price for such a print and none of us like to admit that about ourselves.

By the way I have an associate who is thinking of selling his red for £6500, make of that what you will. Is £8K still such a good price?

I think if your friend put their Red CYW up for sale on here for £6.5 k it would be snapped up very quickly. I for one would love it (not that i can afford it )

I wouldn't be suprised if you've had a few pm's already!

[dotdot]

ok so we're kicking around 6k - back from 8k.. back from 12k.

so there you go ... reckon if you had cash 6k in the uk you'd be cool on this.. if it was indeed available and ... your bag.

if you were dead set on B - i'd still go for a GR (no one offs either..)

[chaserawr]

I remember when I was looking last year you could buy an edition of 25 for 4k gbp all day long.

Yeah me too and my sister is thinking of selling her grey for cost, my cousins thinking of letting his green go for 4k,  hear what i'm saying ?  

Your as bitter now as you were when you didn't score one at pow, get over it dude.

[rsj]

I think recently there has been a lot of talking up of the price, after that slightly freakish auction result. I sold my grey one for less than 4k not long ago and it was a fair price for both.  Even if the price has gone up a wee bit since then, it's not at 8k level...

? I was merely posting an honest reply.  i don't believe i've ever spent my time talking up print prices and none of mine are hitting the market so no agenda there though i guess as i reread that i can appreciate where you're coming from.  I had an interest in the thread, read and replied.  Sorry if it came across that i have an agenda in talking up prices.  I'm certainly biased but i don't have an agenda. As to your question is 8k such a good price, I have no idea and if you're friend is selling at 6500 that suggests i overpaid but i don't feel foolish.  Terrible price relative to the original cost but there are only 25 plus however many reds are in the AP edition.  fwiw, I don't believe i've ever sold or stored a print in my life as i buy to hang which is not to suggest one is more right than any other.  Good luck either way if you're hunting.

No, I don't hear what you are saying, I'm oblivious to your moronic rant. I have no agenda regarding the price of this print, I don't own one and have no interest in getting one as I don't like the image and never have. I certainly never went for one at POW so get your facts right......dude.
