Good to see at least then that the forum has maintained its capitalist potential, to suit your tastes!

Banksy needs to release a print critiquing the gluttonous clamour for his posters and the obsession with value it breeds

See what I did there

If you're such a socialist sell me a Euro for 50 cents or maybe your flat for 60 cents on the Euro for it's appraised value. This is great, while you're at it throw in a GWB signed for 10.000 Euros.

Pretty sure "Morons" does just this.

what are you, OP's lapdog?  Also it's a rather off-base inference you've made based on nothing actually contained in my post.

Thx anyway homie~

No shit

[iamzero]

Would a WCP version of this print help devalue these wacadoodle prices?

whats a 1/28?


i f**king hate this print and everything about it

its ruined the world, and everyone that owns one has helped it on its road to ruin

f**kers

you should be ashamed of yourself

My guess £5,500 - £6,000

[Pistol]

GLWTS and well done for listing a price. I am sure you will have no problem selling it. These are very saught after and you will no longer grab a bargain on these!

I know for a fact that the cost of the red has doubled in the last 4/5 months.

There are alot of these about but there are also a lot of people wanting them.

That age old supply and demand thing eh?

I seem to remember people being slated when Nola broke the 5k mark. That wasn't too long ago!

Look at all the hype that one post has created, the guy is just trying to sell a print. If no one was interested there would be no response. Any print that creates this kind of hype is obviously a popular one.

A print is only worth what people will pay for it.

Again, good luck.

 

[Pistol]

Will you take £8k

[naughtyshorty]

Hey pistol - nice to see you on here.

How much are reds going for these days?

Good point re the Nola.

good luck wiv the sale bro

if there is someone out there who is willing to pay that much for this print, then I cant blame you for taking it.

Its a bit of paper with a bit of silkscreening on it and a squiggle, which may or may not have been done by someone from Bristol*

For that kind of money you could buy a house or two in the North East, travel the world to a year and stay in proper hotels, buy a 911 and write it off on the Nurbergring, invest a leica and have enough left over to set up a photog business, have a week of coke fuelled hell in Ibiza and still have enough left to bung a five figure sum into a charity or good cause of your choice and make a massive difference to someone life

get it perspective- dump the print and do something with the money- there is a limited stock of idiocy around, jump in whilst you can

* If you don't know, then best not to ask

I agree Pistol. If someone really wants something they will pay pretty much anything for it. Some people have been pursuing the same piece of art for years, so when one pops up people offer (well) above the value just to secure it. I also don't understand why nobody ever considers the amount of different colourways there are of these, a lot of the collectors on here come under the "limited collectors" umbrella eg. I'm guessing a lot of people on here collect things like records, limited edition trainers/sneakers (stamps - maybe not stamps :/) art books etc. so a lot of those kind of collectors like purchasing the same thing in a few colourways etc and building up a collection to become a set. So, in short as Pistol said "That age old supply and demand thing eh?"

Sounds like a good plan for 2014! haha!

The people that moderate the forum still exist but recognise that that's what it is and although there are 'rules' that in order to maintain the basic concept of free speech that it's pointless trying to enforce unless there's a genuine reason to do so.

So if you list a piece and don't stick a price on it then expect some smartarse (usually me) to critique, if you do stick a price on it and that creates jealousy or encourages people with the same piece to state that it's cheap then that's the way it goes.

Specifically in relation to this thread, then the OP's stuck a price on which I can't afford and (to me) is mind boggling but there you go. Shoulda, woulda, coulda - but didn't.

Best of luck with the sale.

[naughtyshorty]

Well put. I think the issue re prices is quite simple: no one on the forum likes to think people are taking the piss with prices. Be it offering too little or expecting too much. Maybe it's out of protecting those not so well informed, maybe it's out of jealousy, but I think it generally comes out having an allergic reaction over a price that doesn't appear 'fair'.

[Pistol]

A £10 note or a £50 are only printed pieces of paper at the end of the day.
Anything is worth what someone is pepared to exchange it for. Before money all trading was done this way. Everything had a value to someone and it would vary what you were prepared to offer depending on how much you needed it or wanted it.

It's basic human behaviour.

Simples!

Apologies for bitching about the price i guess, still learning forum etiquette....
