Price Check Eine Canvas Santa's Ghetto 2006, by Deleted on May 14, 2013 11:57:20 GMT 1, Hello all,
Not sure if this is the correct place for this post so apologies if i'm clogging up the wrong thread.
Anyway I've been given the chance to purchase the above piece,but wanted to know whether it would be a decent investment or not. Its not a typical Eine piece so not sure if that makes it more or less collectable. also what would be a reasonable price to pay?
Here's a link to the image

I'm not buying it from that auction by the way.
Cheers boys and girls

If you're asking... is it worth the money I'm spending on it for the amount of joy I'll get from hanging it, then (as an Eine fan), I'd say it would be - dependent on price. It's old, presumably unique and a different but still colourful Eine.
If you're asking... will it be worth more in a few years so I can sell at a handsome profit, I'd say nobody knows. If it passes the first question criteria, buy it. If it doesn't, don't.
That's my ten cents worth

I'd say, (where this piece is concerned) that you might struggle to get back the money you'd pay buying in a gallery or at auction, possibly even privately.
Also Ben is best known for his alphabets and this along with one other very similar, or possible variant I have seen has been knocking around for a while. In my opinion not his best work or his most desirable, but then again saying that it's an early piece and different so who knows.

Price Check Eine Canvas Santa's Ghetto 2006, by sohohoho on May 14, 2013 15:53:22 GMT 1, Did the eBay sale fall through? I know I don't know how much you've been offered it for but if it's any where near the winning bid, if it's purely an investment you're after, I'd say the money could be much better spent on something else. Do your research.

Price Check Eine Canvas Santa's Ghetto 2006, by Deleted on May 15, 2013 1:38:43 GMT 1, Cheers guys for the input.
The ebay sale didn't fall through, it was one of my contacts who bid and won. He's offering to me at that price.
As much as I like Eine's alphabets and signs etc... I've seen so many examples that the uniqueness has kind of dissipated in my opinion.
I remember seeing Eine graffiti up on walls when i was a kid so the canvas,to me, represents more about who he is.
And now as a tube driver I really miss all the great pieces that used to spring up all over the network!!
