Forum Auctions, Banksy Marketplace π¬π§, by Castle Gallery NI on Jul 14, 2016 11:51:03 GMT 1, Its always surprised me the volume of Banksys sold through auction houses, theres prob a 1/10 chance of the seller achieving more selling Banksy through auction than through other avenues whether gallery or private.

Forum Auctions, Banksy Marketplace π¬π§, by Pattycakes on Jul 14, 2016 18:47:33 GMT 1, @ Castle Gallery, have to say I tend to disagree with you on that one. These days decent auctions are setting the price points that push the market forward. Addmittedly an auction is a roll of the dice as it were but if you get on the right side of the roll then the rewards are enormous, and recently the prices at multiple auctions have proven this point.

I was talking from a sellers point of view and how much they receive after fees, now and then you get lucky like with SS recently but mostly the seller receives below what they can achieve, roughly 9/10 times. The the SS which achieved overall inc fees north of 30k the seller got closer to 20k which isnt that much more than they could have got and that was an unbelievable price someone ended up paying for it. Its that lottery fingers crossed it might be me, more likely it wont for the seller.

Bonhams 22nd some very high prices were paid, very strong results, arguably the strongest auction to date for B prints so this can be used as an example of why i find it surprising so many choose to sell banksys this way and this isnt taking into consideration the larger volume of results were sellers didnt do as well.
Roughly what sellers were returned thanks to Loobaz
Ive stated whether they have done better than they could via private sale or gallery imo
Because I'm worthless: Β£10k-well below
Reaper: Β£7.6k-well below
Toxic Mary: Β£6.4k-well below
Nola: Β£19.2k-below
LA Set: not sold-sold after for well below
Trolleys: Β£9.6k-similar
Police Kids: Β£8.8k-well below
Stop & Search: Β£20k-slightly above
Flying Copper: Β£12.8k-below
CND: Β£11.2k-below
WSM: Β£8.8k-similar
The sellers didnt do so well even though there were record prices paid and as said this was a very strong set of results, it just raises the question of why so many choose this route.

Great for buyers and collectors ? How do you work that one out when you take into account the buyers premium, VAT and artists resale rights ? Some of these prices might not be that great for the seller as Andy says but the seller got a much better deal than the buyer !
Im not convinced that most on here are buyers or collectors eithers but lets not go there....

I can only assume you've misread, i was talking about sellers getting poor prices but seeing as youve brought up that in your opinion its great for collectors and buyers its not great for buyers or collectors, someobe paid 31500 for an SS and 15k for a colour trolleys, canyou explain how thats great? 10 emails to the first 10 galleries on google or a post on here or other forums and theyd have done better. My point isnt driving people to secondary market galleries i was addressing the question of why so many choose the auction route as a seller when the odds are so clearly against the seller. Do you have an issue with secondary market galleries?

Do you have an issue with secondary market galleries? Sorry, misunderstood. Without a doubt, the best way to sell a Banksy is to do your due dilligence and sell privately, failing that, approach a reputable gallerist with a history of sales and a strong client base. I think a LOT of people who have Banksy prints, aren't that aware of the gallery system, secondary market etc. They heard it's worth a lot, someone says hey, that's worth X, you should get it to an auction. I picked up a signed Happy Choppers some years back for what at the time I thought was a steal, after premium, shipping, messing about..it ended up around retail. Haven't bought or sold Banksy prints since. What % do galleries add ? |

Yes due diligence and looking at all the options, and for relevance it should be taken into consideration the price a gallery will pay rather than hope to achieve given time.

Some do some dont, the point being a relevant price is what someone is willing to pay whether privately or gallery, for example i could say i'll sell a signed love rat for 30k, with an open timescale the price is irrelevant

Mostly buy for stock, i do sell on behalf also with sellers i have relationships with or trust in, when selling on behalf i agree a bottom line return price and a retail asking, i take 10% of sale price max and if the sale price is less than agreed bottom return +10% i take less than 10%. What cut do you take with the artists?

Regarding the prices achived at auction. The hammer price is not the actual price as if it includes tax, seller and buyer fees . The real selling prices is what the seller got.
If a seller on here or gallery is asking the same price that was achieved at auction including the buying and selling fees etc it seems chancy.
There again a gellery or dealer dosn't have to stick with any auction prices, if a buyer comes along who is willing to pay a lot more, i'm sure they won't tell the buyer but the highest auction price was a lot less.
I think the reason that some collectors etc consign to auction is because they feel safe.
Finding a good dealer or gallery today is not easy and many do not feel secure that a gallery doesn't have undisclosed debts or a dealer won't run off with their print and money.
It has happened a few times.
Plus there are also dealers middle men who ask a seller what is the lowest price they will take and instead of taking a percentage they just massively increase the price to potential buyers trying their luck either direct or online and if unsucessful just tell the seller, sorry I couldn't find the buyer.
These people are unfortunately very common when it comes to selling other peoples stuff.
Cheers. It varies from artist to artist but the gallery usually takes 60/40 in the artists favour. Prints are usually 50/50 after print costs. Thats the same % i work on with the artists i deal directly with.. Hence the massive pushing of some artists on this forum. It's a business after all first and about the art second.

Plus there are also dealers middle men who ask a seller what is the lowest price they will take and instead of taking a percentage they just massively increase the price to potential buyers trying their luck either direct or online and if unsucessful just tell the seller, sorry I couldn't find the buyer. These people are unfortunately very common when it comes to selling other peoples stuff. |

Forum Auctions, Banksy Marketplace π¬π§, by Castle Gallery NI on Jul 15, 2016 9:24:04 GMT 1, Thats the same % i work on with the artists i deal directly with.. Β Hence the massive pushing of some artists on this forum. It's a business after all first and about the art second. Β Regarding the prices achived at auction. The hammer price is not the actual price as if it includes tax, seller and buyer fees . The real selling prices is what the seller got. Β If a seller on here or gallery is asking the same price that was achieved at auction including the buying and selling fees etc it seems chancy. There again a gellery or dealer dosn't have to stick with any auction prices, if a buyer comes along who is willing to pay a lot more, i'm sure they won't tell the buyer but the highest auction price was a lot less. Β Β I think the reason that some collectors etc consign to auction is because they feel safe.

If you reread i was talking about what sellers acheive when they sell Banksy through other avenues rather than consign to auction, theres no reason for a seller to feel safer when consigning to an auction, when they sell theres no risk for the seller, they have the goods and dont release until its paid for.

I was meaning about others who set themselves up as middle men brokers online galleries etc.
Maybe some sellers consign to auction hoping for a record sale price?

Forum Auctions, Banksy Marketplace π¬π§, by Deleted on Jul 15, 2016 9:45:29 GMT 1, I get the feeling that some of the lesser known auction houses jump on the lets have a Banksy and street art auction to generate publicity for their auction house.

like all things theres a mixture, some very good professional middlemen and some not so much. Yes i think youre right, a lot prob do consign hoping for the record sale and it is understandable, a roll of the dice, at times it pays off. I guess theres multiple reasons, perhaps they tried the gallery route without success of a sale or its maybe an easier route, theres a strong chance a sale will happen as the major auction houses have a much larger client base than galleries. Many sellers just dont want the hassle of selling privately and if consigning with a gallery the timescale of sale isnt set, with auction theres a set date and more than likely sale. I guess theres a lot of changable factors for each seller.

I do not think there are many Banksy experts working at auction houses as these people tend to specialise in a bit of everything of a certain era and genre.
Banksy is current.
It's even more difficult if one has an old master or similar and has to trust the word of some guy who says they are an expert who works at an auction house.

I think with Banksy etc. Banksy prices are more or less set in stone today it probably is better to approach a reputable gallery who has clients wanting to buy.
