For sale Choose your weapon dark orange with COA i'm the original owner, or could swap for a Pulp fiction.

[Ponyboy Curtis]

Swap it for my unsigned Pulp Fiction? Done deal.

[beenrhymin]

yes it would....

[Happy Shopper]

One sold, this colour, for £10k at Phillips a few weeks ago.
Shockingly pricey these CYWs!

[beenrhymin]

i think thats just because the average consumer doesnt realize how many colourways there are of this work. They see banksy, Small edition number, and they Jump!

[Hubble Bubble]

Surely at the prices these things are going for you'd do your homework?

[beenrhymin]

think about it in terms of the whole sale, i bet you its not even in the top half of the lots in terms of value....

[Poster Bob]

I can't see people jumping to buy anything when they are spending 10k.

[beenrhymin]

I couldnt see you or me doing so, but there are prints in these sale that exceed 100K, 10K is a drop in the bucket, I go to these auctions often, you'd be surprised to see how often someone is there for something else and goes, oh Banksy, been in the news a lot, looks cool, 10K, 18K, sure!

[kichline]

I actually bought that CYW at Phillips for 10k, and I think I actually got a good deal (all things considered). Yes I agree it seems high but if you can find me anyone willing to let a CYW go for less I'd be happy to grab it. I've been looking at many versions for months now, and it seems that they are going for a bare minimum of £12k these days, often up to £15-18k.

Even on the forum, when someone puts one out there for potentially a lower price, they will get offers for at least £12 and sell to the highest offer. There was a Yellow CYW posted weeks ago on the forum, and the seller suggested a price around £7500 I think... he received 30+ PM's in the first hour, and later acknowledged his pricing was way off from reality - not sure what he sold for, but I expect it was at least £12-13k from the sound of it and the demand he had.

Everyone I look at who has one for sale seems to be expecting £12+ these days...

I think most people, even on this forum, don't realize how many there are. I saw on a Banksy prints overview there are 583 signed versions of this print. Even if you exclude the 100 Grey and 58 Queue jumping. There are 425 Colored versions. Maybe people just really love that image.

[Carrie]

Could be the Haring influence/imagery that's caused the interest over the years, also, people like the idea of having "collections" of things, people trying to pursue more than one colourway may have caused increase in demand etc. just my opinion

[Shoeless]

Lets be honest, it boils down to hype.
Granted, most Banksy prints don't necessarily need any hype, but when the one sold at auction last year for what….£17k, most here were calling that a fluke.
Before that sale, I seem to recall seeing many here stating it was one of their least favorite images. When an item is perceived more valuable, it becomes more desirable.

Just my humble opinion.

I don't think there are too many prints that sell for more than 100k. There are lots of people with more money than sense. 

[naughtyshorty]

wow! 12k. amazing what a bit of time and a v good show in nyc does.. there has definitely been some inflation in banksy prints over the last year... i wonder how much the red and gold versions would go for these days..?

I was offered a silver and a gold by a gallery in October. The price was £33k for each.....they both sold.

[alexdb]

In my opinion, I believe prices will rise even further and just not only the CYW print. Its all about demand and supply. Once galleries increase their prices, individuals will increase their price as well, while there is just an demand. You may feel offended about this and call it insane, but it is just reality.

It also appears that Banksy still isn't entirely appreciated by the arty-farty smarty arty fraternity. And that bunch have A LOT of disposable income.

Well stated, agree on this. As someone mentioned earlier, S&S was beat on regularly (oh how people hated 'the thumb'), now try to get one on the cheap.

Kinda gutted I didn't buy the Silver I was offered for £10k a couple of years ago!!

[Winter]

I didn't originally like it but it has grown on me over the years.

[begs]

Me two,I was offered a silver one while I was buying a flower thrower but could not afford both, should of used the flexable friend

[ABC]

I love this print and it was one that I wanted from the start. However, I'm not loving it enough to spend £12k though, If money was no object then maybe.

Being gutted about not buying....I was offered a set of Kates for £2500, at the time I thought the seller was taking the piss putting £1k on top of purchase price fairly soon after buying.

A set of six Kate colourways were £12,500 at cost (£2,500 each), the original colourway was £1,500 so not sure which you are referring to.

[ABC]

^^ shouldn't post after I've had a few drinks, I should have said 1k on top of the 2500. Still, i was close.

If that LIITA is signed you still did pretty well begs

If you're a prem footballer, or city intellectual, then dropping £15K on a print is meaningless.

There's your market.
