I remember buying an unsigned LA set back in the day and the guy threw in a US TM as a sweetener on the deal - those were the days !!

Still own them all.

Got mine (TM that is!) off Mr. frameman in a deal ... I think it was 500 quid’ish at the time lol

i remember selling an u/s toxic mary on ebay in 2014 for 3-4k. ugh. needed the $ at the time, some cat in france was the lucky buyer. depressing. on the plus it went towards a house deposit that increased a lot since.

Has the house increased 10x's?

Ha! Sadly not. Needed a few 100k for a deposit. The 600k house is now 1M and I have a place to live so it was a necessary sale at the time.

You don’t have to defend this decision, you quite clearly made the right call!
Very happy for you 😊

That's very nice of you, thank you! Sometimes you have to move around investments to make life work best for your situation.

Agreed - hindsight  is a wonderful thing and we all have stories to tell, I’m sure. My confession - I sold a love rat in about 2007 for £750. My wife didn’t like it and at the time it paid off a credit card.  My work colleague sold three signed in 2010 - putting it in to their house. They still have the house! Easy to judge. Likewise We all could have bought Tesla or Amazon shares back in the day, had we known!  You make the best call you can at the time. No,need to need to defend your decision ...

Whelp, finally decided it's time to sell my u/s Toxic Mary. My wife and I are expecting our first little one in a few months ❤️😃

With the market going the way it is, seems like a good time to say goodbye to this print.  

Comes with COA/PC and is in excellent condition. Its a low number (pre-blind stamp). Is currently framed to archival standards; acid free double mats, linen hinged, UV plexiglass, etc.

Asking $45K (shipped / insured). Open to offers. 

Ideally would like to do a state side sale. But open to discuss. 

Please DM with any questions. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Babies are the best! After a few months anyway. Until then, good luck.

Much better than art.

About $20K more somewhere....

I’m kicking myself. Toxic Mary is my favorite piece of Banksy art period. I love the mood of the piece and I love even more how uncomfortable it makes people. The reason I’m kicking myself is that I could have bought an unsigned version for $13k a couple months ago. Now I’m afraid I will never have the chance to own an original. Sigh....

[medichead]

Life goes on

[tab1]

Happens to many others over the years , people stall with their purchase as they think they can source cheaper for £200-800 Or they are not happy with the price increase from the previous six months.

I’ve had grannies , rats , jj offered to me around 2010 for £1000 but wanted to pay £800🙄🤯

Man, hindsight sucks sometimes! I would love to own Grannies as well. I don’t think any of us ever imagined how much his work was going to reach in terms of value. 13k was a good price for the Toxic Mary (for the time) and I should have pounced! Now the prices are insane! Not a great time buy your dream piece of artwork. For the people who own some of his art, I wish them the best! This is a great market for people willing to let go of some pieces. But it sucks to be me right now as someone who wants to buy. They are just too unaffordable. That said, I just saw an HMV for 13k, which might be a good investment.

I’m waiting for the gallery to email me back.  If I decide in the next 12-hours not to get it, I’ll DM you the info.  Sound okay?

[JAlternatión]

I'd expect that gallery to at least treble the price of that HMV, if not snap it the hell up

[Babyford]

Remember a Toxic Mary sitting in the racks for £1k at Art Republic Brighton for over 18 months
How times have changed...

Apparently an unsigned HMV sold yesterday for 60k. So the gallery increased their price from 16.8k to 50k.....

As smug as i feel for getting the treble right, i can't help feeling that 17k for an HMV was an absolute bargain even 6 months ago

[crashwilliams]

A mate of mine picked one, about twelve months ago for £8.5k - and was quibbling over £500, I offered to give him the £500!

He's now very happy to have (luckily) landed the piece.

[mrutland]

So if anyone’s curious. Gallery 727 has the following unsigned pieces.

Flaying copper unsigned £60k
Cnd £45k
Trolleys £48k
Hmv 50k
Golf sale 48k
Queen Victoria £40k
HMV £50k

The price they quoted me is no longer valid. Oh well. Lesson learned!

[mj]

I am a proud owner of one, boutght years ago when it did not get any love. I always loved the image and I wonder at the moment if is still the cheaper us print.

[coller]

if it makes you feel any better, TM is the only piece that caused numerous arguments with guests at my place due to it being on my wall. and not in a good "lets debate art" way. some people were genuinely offended. it's pretty hard to hang. image seems to really rub certain people the wrong way. it even ended a date once.

great print tho.

[Lazarus II]

You’ll get a big HGV cheaper than an HMV nowadays.

Sounds to me, the print is a great way to weed people out.
If the person doesn't like it, or is offended by it, then maybe they're not for you. 🤷‍♂️
