Disappointed I missed out on this one. I didn’t even see it until now.

Me three. If anyone has a CMYK they’re willing to part with, please PM. Plenty to trade as well..

Can anyone help with sensible valuations on the following prints please as I may be tempted to part with them in the new year to pay for this weeks' gas bill?

Gaza Strip
Headquarters
Funeral
CMYK
Monkey
World Wide Trap

May as well mention they're all matching numbers, though I'd imagine that would only potentially be of value to anyone buying all as a set.

I don’t know if the matching numbers add any value in this case as I’m sure most people interested in any of them have one or more of the others. Anybody correct me if I’m wrong and the actual prices could be lower considering the state of the art market. Only putting them up for sale and taking offers or putting them up for auction can tell us the true values but I’d say: 

Gaza Strip - €1000-€2000
Headquarters - €2000-€3000
Funeral - €1000-€1500
CMYK - €2000-€3000
Monkey - €1000-€1500
World Wide Trap - €2000-€3000

Amazing collection right here. I’m curious how you managed to get matching numbers?!

[Skizz 82]

Wow, you have the complete POW set...

I have no idea of ​​the impact on art values ​​of this economic crisis (I think it's driving them down) anyway until a few months ago, my guess on the value, would have been:
Gaza Strip 2000/3000€
Headquarters 2000/2500€
Funeral 1500€
CMYK 2500€/3000€
Monkey 1500€/2000€
World Wide Trap 2000/3000€

I wait to see my bills before I tell you if I'm interested 😅

[STP]

Thanks all for the replies and for the many many PM's with offers.

I'm going to consider things over the holidays and will post in the 'for sale' thread if I decide to sell.

Dern, that is legit.

Was offered $4k for a Monkey a couple months ago, so that's my price point for that one of it helps

the price i have in my head for 3 of these (Gaza Strip, Headquarters, and CMYK) is $6k+ - well above the other estimates. my reasoning -

1. the only Gaza Strip i've seen for sale sold quickly at ~ $4000 one year ago (and the member who bought it had been looking for almost a decade);
(*) the V&A Museum collected this work collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1160799/gaza-strip-print-blu/

2. Headquarters is currently available on artsy for ~ $15,000 (www.artsy.net/artwork/blu-head-quarter), a member had one for sale for ~$6000 (and the listing is no longer active), and an Italian auction sold one for $5000 in 2022;

3. i saw a CMYK available in 2019 on ebay for over $5000 and it disappeared
(*) the V&A Museum also collected this work collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1160800/cmyk-print-blu/

😢😢

this is what happens when rare work by a niche artist (with a difficult name to track digitally) hits the wrong auction house. these UV prints were released at Eu545 (~$725) in 2010. the one here resold for $2800 in 2022. as we all should know by now, that looks like a good result for a street art print (it resold! above the purchase price! almost 4x purchase price in 12 years looks like a solid return). 

however, my strong belief is this should be in the $25k-45k range (e.g., 34x-62x in 12 years, instead of 4x). my reasoning-
1. artsy has a UV of Headquarters listed for ~$45k (www.artsy.net/artwork/blu-untitled-4)
(*) the Demos UVs are as significant as Headquarters, and much larger
2. the unique variants are iconic (Rennes, Demos, and Headquarters all have corresponding murals with many of the elements Blu is known for) and are actually *uniques* (though less unique than drawings, they have significantly more wallpower and are significantly more iconic than most of the drawings).

Do you have a pic? I know one sold on here for around that but in 2017 or 18. eBay isn't the best place to sell/value blu given search name limitations. I had a pm from a blu collector suggesting around £300. May be looking to sell.

nulla 50 drawings by blu
ebay object number 144783760993
date of sale 02.11.2022
sale price 91.00 £ 

[teopozzi]

on ebay or on the web in general is very difficult to find a blu artwork so maybe that was not the effective value of the object
I've taken mine some year ago for 100pound so I think and hope the value now is higher

wowwww!!!!

[Romulus]

Incredible. Did he refresh his old shark as part of this?

[Charlie]

Wow! That’s amazing

[The Italian One]

the king,
true artist

love the shark

[sapi]

Blu posted on his blog that his original Money Shark mural in Barcelona (Carmelo) was up from 2009-2021. "the neighborhood wanted it back" and so he updated it with a new money shark being pursued by a military industrial complex shark being pursued by an orca with a collapsing society on its back . 

[borki]

I wanted to go to check money shark back in 2020 and found out it's gone. Good to see people wanted mural back. Now even upgraded. Good reason for me to make trip to Barcelona...
