I'm surprised it reached that much but can't see it being maintained, in the short term at least. I think more people will now look to sell (I certainly would sell mine at £4.3k) and that will end up driving prices down as people undercut each other

I am not planning to sell mine. Just spent another couple hundred on the framing... and I still hope the majority of the 150 buyers thinks the same.

The invaders actually going for that much are his older works, long out of the flippers hands.

I don't know if I agree with that. Aladdin seems to be the top-seller, and it's relatively new.

Also most of these move out of flippers hands pretty quickly, I suppose - small editions and all.

Anyway, enough of that. Glad to see some people are framing, and I happily await the framed pics.

I remember someone here saying they were going to try to put a little moving magnifying glass so you could see the individual invaders closer - do you know what that type of frame/rig would be called?

Theres an idiot born everywhere everyday. Doesn't make that market. The auction one is clearly closer to value

But I couldn't care less, mine won't be leaving my wall. Finally scoring at retail with Invader means more to me, and I only buy to hang

I didn't say it is going to "make the market" -- someone got a hell of a deal.  I can't fathom why a seller wouldn't do a 5 second search to determine the market value prior to listing.

he probably meant to type 4200 instead of 2400

glad someone got a good deal i guess; not a lot of sympathy for the seller lol

I think 'SOLD' means it sold but I don't use ebay a lot tbh

but let's not talk about ebay and prices and stuff pls

[mla]

SOLD means SOLD.

Another up for 5.5k £ .. would be interesting if that guy bought other and is flipping before even shipped lol

The worlds full of people that do this crap. Smfh

Why is there a running commentary on here for all this?

we can all google.

For me atleast, it's comical and borderline interesting whIle I await mine from framer. Mine is being hung, not going anywhere. I'm in love with it, even more so in person

Imo the sales discussion beats the "mine finally shipped" discussion, altho I love to see people that want these getting em!

[coller]

back to the print!

it seems like the 'invader approved' framing method is floated in a wood frame

[touchdowntodd]

Wish I had enough prints to recreate that look. And yes, ik none of those match the print, and all are different

[.dappy]

... don't like that framing at all ...

I agree

Would be my last choice. But I'd love to know thought process behind the choice

[avec art]

It's understated and low key. As the print seems to be a series of explorations into possible invader types and presented as a recreated sketchbook. As opposed to LED wall display. Just my 2 shillings.

Wrong. I was always buying Invader 10 years+ ago with the idea one "flipping" one day. Always thought he would be collectable and so I spent any spare (Little) money I had buying and enjoying prints. I always felt it was an investment I always told friends to buy Banksy/Invader. None did... But it was an investment which I could enjoy on my wall or in art file. But it was always an investment. It just took 10 years to pay off. Now if Micallef could hurry along please.

I'd say there are better investments over 10 years.

Maybe Banksy from POW.

[dani]

I like it because it reminds me of a taxonomic collection in a natural history museum, which fits with the evolution theme. That said, I think it works much better for six originals than for a single print. I'll be doing a black frame with a window mat.

[Wrxinprogress]

How much were the originals at source?

I wouldn't call someone an idiot for doubling their money. Yes they could have got greedy and held out for big money, but that might not happen. The price will settle on these prints once the demand drops.

I'm not so sure about it. It seems that the sellers believe the Invader prices will go up even more in the coming months. It's "why to sell for X now if I can sell for 1.5X in 6 months. OK i can sell it now for 1.4X". That would explain that all the offers I got were higher then the prices the print was sold for on ebay. 

To change that I think the market needs to cool down a litte. A couple of sales or auctions that suggest the price rise won't continue would be very helpful here.
