faile aftermarket sucks. It's always been that way.

It's great if you love picking things up on the cheap. Trying to sell and make money? eh, not so much.

personally, I think ganesha is a weird image. Not my cup o' tea. The other animal/person combos work much better.

I don't want to sound like the Debbie Downer in this group. I love Faile. I own only originals from them since they are just good value IMO. But just look at the Faile Wanted Thread... same images being asked for. Those can command a premium. So that is why I can safely say, if there is no market for it, offer it at your original cost... you enjoyed it and let a new collector enjoy it in their home. If there is a real market for it, I am sure people will be trying to outbid each other to get it.

Woah - I never expected this to be a point of such spirited debate!  Input is all much appreciated... :-)

Can I ask what the big deal is about framing? [re: Southbound's post script...]  This is "floating" in the frame - does that make a difference?

sorry, my reference to framing just meant that I am assuming you are selling.

probably north of $2500 usd. There was a sepia Strange Encounters for sale here at $2200 usd with no takers so you can probably use that as a gauge since it was released around the same time. Happens everyday is the stronger image so I assume there is a premium over strange encounters. Not bad for a print sold at 250 quid 10 years ago.

Not sure but I am biased as I have the edition of 5 version. Yours probably as bkboi said. It is also a piece done at height of POW when Eine was doing the screen printing there (for Banksy as well I think!). Also a classic image and a rare stencil from faile. It's whatever someone is prepared to pay but would have thought 1500 -2000 pounds.

My edition of 5 presumably could be worth the same plus some more? Looks like this one has had offers placed on it already.

Alot more than $800. Edition of 12 from 2007. These are pretty revered.. my guess is easily 3x that amount, potentially more.

Really? There are a few Faile pieces that I know that would sell for 3x original cost. List it on ebay and see if there is any interest on this piece. This will be a hard sell if you think you can get more than 1500 usd for this. BTW, I am just staring at that Black Sub Rosa (which is a coveted image) on Ebay and it has gone unsold for the longest time when essentially the seller is asking for cost.  

Strong image and classic Faile, but I think $1500 is top end on resale.  I think that recorded $800 sale was one that I bought.  I framed and hung this one to keep.  I love buying these because they're strong works and excellent value for long term collectors.

Totally agree. Strong works and great for true long term collectors and yes I do have the one that is edition of 5!

I love faile, I own a lot of faile, I do view it as value priced.... but give it a few years and they will come into their own is a bit questionable. They are all the way in their own now in an unmanipulated market where pieces are priced at market and sold to collectors.

They have had major museum shows, they were the inaugural nyc ballet art series artists, they habe major gallery representation around the world, and they were included in the first major museum exhibition of street art at the Tate modern along with JR, OS G...and that was in 2008.

So short of a big money market manipulator poping some big auction results invader style in not sure what you are looking for. On a 30 year time horizon we are having a different discussion.

Ps, subrosa is awesome, but it isn't happens everyday or wolf within...bit those are my biases

The organic, steady growth of Faile makes their works unattractive to speculators, but a great value to collectors.  I would say that a large percentile of Faile works are in the hands of collectors and that as older prints trade hands, they are going to permanent collections.  The unadulterated market makes it difficult to make a quick buck and so the works are largely purchased by people who want to own Faile.

Hi,

I have a few Faile prints and haven't really kept up with the current values much, I wonder if anyone has an idea of how much these are going for:

Sexy Ad (Pink) ed.14
Tender Forever (Tate) ed.315
Hits & Crashes (White unsigned) ed.90 ( I think that the edition was 45 white and 45 black, but I'm not sure)
Mermaid (unsigned) POW ed.600
Stories of Love in Blue ed.18

I appreciate any help!

Rob

Anybody know the latest value for a Faile Happens Everyday, 1/12, hand finished... One of the best prints they have ever done in my opinion.

Mine is framed in a top quality Railings frame with Museum glass and a rear viewing window for the number. Before I list looking to gauge value. US NYC based.

I would say £500/550 although people seem to want crazy money, due to the morons link.
They are not hand finnished and not given the Faile love.

Your looking to sell some real gems, you must be after something great?

[digitalkid]

Hi,

I would like to know what Faile - Star Spangled is trading for these days?

Full colour version i.e. Dark Blue / Red

Thanks in advance.

[fairplay1974]

Scaling down a little and will maybe treat myself to something after!! I doubt I'll sale all the pieces in one shot I've queried, that would be too much to emotionally handle, but a couple will go for sure.

Private deal = you might be able to get your cost for it.

Auction = a bit over cost.

General rule of thumb, if it was a piece bought during the height 2007-2010, expect to take a hit unless it is one of the more coveted images like surfer horse, dog bite, savage world.

47 x 28 in so bigger I think? Edition size smaller too.

Nice buy for someone in the market if print prices are at that level.

There are either two or three sizes, can't remember which. Some much bigger than the print.

Would like to know the value of this piece - Strength by Faile - Its a very low edition (10?) on heavy card and only in average condition with a thin line scratch and damage to the lower corners - nothing obvious but seen as soon as you look for it.
