All PMs now replied to. If I missed anybody, please PM again and I apologize. I had a LOT of messages to get through and may have skipped one accidentally.

Now let's talk value ladies and gents.

[howies]

F you want the most you can get go over to 3A forum , they are alot more interested in geddes over there, good luck I was about 2 seconds to slow on this release

[murdock]

I agre, 3A and EB are probably places with "better prices" for Geddes, and as I understood it, you are in the US, too, fourputt?

I'm pretty sure they discussed these OGs on the EB board somewhere.

As for price... well, between 1500-2000 US$ could be right, but only to die hard Geddes fans and speculators. As much as I am in love with his work (mostly non-Cosmo stuff), these "illustration pieces" are not my cup of tea.

Good luck with the sale, though!

[fourputt]

I am in Canada. But we do have a postal service (George and his dog sled) and I am not afraid to box the piece and slap a stamp on it.

"Local pick up only" always frosts my cornflakes.

what's the 3A forum?

Yeah, on the advice of the others I just went there and tried to register. 30 minutes later I gave up. Kept giving me error messages.

Listen to these wise words. It involves a different level of collecting that makes most Banksy/ street art collectors look like part timers.

fourputt, are you sure you've got the right forum?

Never heard of it before. Any good?

www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php

You're right! Now registered, but another helpful forum member posted it for me. My, it seems to have gotten friendlier around here since I imposed a ban on myself a while ago.

[fourputt]

In an effort to remain as transparent as possible, I am posting the highest current offer for all to see-$3000.

As stated in my OP, I am not in any rush to sell and will only do so if an extraordinary offer comes along. My main reason to post is to gauge interest and put a ballpark price on this piece.

[howies]

Snap that up quick smart as I would not have thought you would get an offer so high to be honest.

[Deleted]

$3k seems like a very strong offer especially compared to your initial cost. Well bought, sir.

I think your piece would look good hanging next to coach's OG...

[fourputt]

Yes, I fully agree it is a strong offer. But I firmly believe that at this same time next year, it will be a bargain.

Look at the Keyes "interlock" piece being offered on here right now. Lots of similarities. Early piece, not the artist's "known"(cosmonauts) subject matter series, originally sold at a similar price. Now being flogged for $5000.

And Geddes' world recognition and acclaim is only just getting off the ground.

I don't expect an offer of more, but it isn't enough to risk kicking myself about in a couple years.

Tough times in my home mean I have had to think about selling it. Any ideas, theories, thoughts would be appreciated. I hate to do it, and am almost hoping to get a low estimate to keep me from selling. Thanks.

Well, I guess it comes down to: Do you need the money right now? If yes, 3k is a great price and a big win for you. If no, the current value is just something to feel good about.

IMHO, this piece will not go higher than now, as it is not en par with Jem's current stuff/skill. Currently people are willing to pay that much for its speculation value. When the NYC show is here, there will be better pieces than these...

Then again, I've been wrong before

[spencerlee]

Two choices. Set a price of what you want, say 5K as you don't think 3 is enough. Or stick on eBay and find out what the market thinks it's worth.

[sal]

maybe try Artchival boards too.. there are quite few Geddes fans there...

good luck!

[fourputt]

Thanks for all the advice.

[Deleted]

You have a cool OG, it's just a question of do you love it or simply like it. If you love it then hang it up and enjoy it with the bonus of having a better idea of what others would pay to have it. If you don't feel that attached to it $3k is pretty good seed money that could help you go after a piece you may feel much stronger about. Good luck with your decision.

If only more dilemas in life had no down side!

[Guest]

Bloody hell, like the keyes sales saga all again.

Haha - cant get used to seeing my pics posted by someone else. Technology eh?
I agree, the two pieces would look great together.
Had no idea that these might have risen in value so much - though suspected they had risen some. Guess I had better get mine behind some glass now, and not just have it leaning on a shelf!
This piece draws so many comments from visitors - not necessarily that they like it, but they recognise the talent.
I love mine. As others have said, fourputt, hope you are happy with whatever you decide to do - it's a lovely little og.

[Deleted]

apologies coach for jacking your pic. Now call your framer! : )

[charlie]

edition of 10 already sold out !

had to go for one of the ed of 200 - another cracking image....

[gilsteph]

Amazing!

[fingerz]

would like to have some thing by Geddes 1 day ... love it

[Deleted]

I like the look of his work, but i think I'll save my cash for when the first tourist space craft lands on the moon. Always wanted to play golf on the moon.

... is that because you struggle to find any real distance with your drives, or simply because you struggle to get the ball off the ground full stop. No offense Slammer but I've heard rumours that your pretty piss poor at golf...



... and yes that is a challenge
