Thought i would jump on the wagon.

Who in their sane mind would ever sell a banksy for cost. Thats like asking me to give you £2k for £500 in return.

Lets be real here.

[wastyboy]

maybe an ecentric millionaire would ! but means unfortunately im not i simply could'nt afford to!

[Montubu7]

I have, i sold someone a sepia morons & cost & they directly helped me get amongst others
Choe city girl, choe diamonds, micalef giwtbb, banksy colour trolleys, banksy stop & search, 3 failes from last but one release & some other bits.

Swings & roundabouts i think but theres a few people i would give a Banksy to @ cost if i also got one myself....

I guess it depends on whether you have or intend to have a relationship / agreement with the person in question in the future. Vanquish08 clearly did a good turn, which in turn has bought rewards many times over.

Crazy Jake sold me one.

I have sold a number of prints at costs to people that became really important friends in the world of collecting. Just as I have had people sell me pieces I missed out on who I have done a lot for. The latest was a friend that sold me a pair dface original at way below what he could have picked up in the crazy market of a few months ago, we have gone on to do a lot together---I sold him a Denning Original, 2 DFace prints, a Micallef, etc, etc...all at what my cost was.

It can actually be a much better investment over the long run than picking up that extra 1300 you'd make on ebay

I caught 3 signed Banksys this year with the big help of a friend and I would easily return that favour, if asked, by letting him buy one for cost that he misses out. I have actually tried to help him out but so far he has been lucky himself. Soo my opinion is that if you share, you will get, and in the long run you and your friends are winners (or what the fuck I try to say!).

a friend helped me get a search when he could have just bought a second to flip with someone else's card.....instead, he called me and helped me get one myself....now thats a good guy. good kharma. then again, ive sold him london police, scott musgrove amongst others at cost....

Which one of you is going to sort me out with a banksy at cost then. Don't PM me, post it here if you want.

[CHAMB]

karma....

[craigf]

JBoy for the next release I'll try to help you get one at cost. The conditions are however:

1) I will prioritise getting one for myself if I like the image etc. and see it making the wall
2) That you hold on to it and if you sell it within the first two years of ownership we split the profit 50:50. After two years there is no commitment and its down to your consenus whether you even admit to me that you have sold it at any point, I won't be watching.

How does that sound? Not too onerous....

[bullet]

Sounds very fair.

I do own a banksy and its my first one (from the ghetto), its at the framers right now (first piece i have framed properly professionally) so its going nowhere.
Its because its almost so impossible to get one that to sell it would be pointless after all the effort of getting it

[craigf]

Ok, its a deal ;D

Pls post a piccie of your newly framed Banksy when you get it. Mine hasn't arrived yet and won't get framed until the piggy bank has some pennies in it again ;D
