Please dont forget - - bit short of love at the moment and Trollies!

My favouriate banksy pieces are the "golf sale" and "Bar code" my mission is to own them!!

I cant afford however but have a plan which is to get lucky and get hold of a few of the new prints which ideally would give me a fair slug of the cost of the prints I want. (thinking Grannies currently about £600-£700 - guess more down the track probably)

This means joining the scalpers on ebay which makes me feel guilty!!

when I first saw the Grannies I didnt think much of it but it and figured I would offload them but it arrived today and I had a quick look and I actually like it. It has come out really well.

So dont know, I want them all! mmm

Whats your thourghts?

Anyone want to buy a Grannie. Or just swap for a golf sale or bar code

[RetroCanvas]

I must agree with how you feel,

My first print was a gangsta rat when it was selling for about £150 (POW cost) on ebay. I bought a J&J half as an investment and half because I had saw the original canvas and though it was cool. When I received my J&J print my whole opinion of it chaged. It looked so good in the flesh and made me wonder that even the prints that I don't like probably will look twice as good in the flesh and made me wonder how I could get my hands on more. No chance now with the prices as they are.

First off, damullae you have good taste. ;D Golf Sale is my favorite also!

I think that most people on both forums are extremely hypocritical. There is no question that the majority of our members have either sold or purchased at least one Banksy print on Ebay.

I'm of the school of thought that as long as you are not strictly buying to scalp then you are OK. There is nothing wrong with selling, purchasing with the intent to sell, as long as you are using it to purchase other art/artists, upgrading to other prints, or offsetting costs such as framing, travelling, or any unexpected expenditures in your life.

Believe it or not, I'm in the same exact school of thought. My gripe is not about Banksy trading between fans and collectors. Rather, my gripe is about vultures who are buying STRICTLY for the intent to scalp... vultures who know NOTHING about Banksy (nor do they care), except for the demand for his work. They're predators in the strictest sense of the word. It's immoral, it's revolting, and it's just plain wrong.

[damullae]

hear what you are both saying,

I am a learner but know what I like and to be honest I am not a fan of a lot of Banksy's stuff but find some very powerful and want it.

Yes, a lot of people buying to sell no doubt - I mentioned this when chatting with POW people and and glad they made only one print per person.

But do you think the demand for the prints will continue? he releasing a number of prints in a short amount of time - do you think scalpers holding a lot of his work will get caught out (like lads selling tickets below cost as show/football starts)

Or does art not work like that?

Like I said I dont know but would have guessed that signed prints and origionals will alwasy go up but unsigned may not hold value?

Am I wrong?

[RBK]

Demand for prints definitely doesn't show any signs of slowing in the near future - that's for sure. Furthermore, most in the US still don't even know who he is. Having Santa's in NYC would have been a very wise move for advancement - but that is assuming Banksy even cares about shit like that.

I'm not sure what you mean by caught out? POW did the smart thing by limited it to one print per person. If I think I'm understanding your question - you can't get 'in trouble' for buying a piece of art and automatically flipping it. Economics is all about supply and demand.

Many collectors feel that the unsigned prints are extremely over-valued, and signed are under valued. Additionally, I don't think there has ever been an artists who prices have only risen. Markets & tastes can change very quickly. Furthermore, unforseen events (Banksy's identity being blown, tons of fakes entering the market, etc.) can greatly turn the tides.

[RBK]

If I were you, I would wait to see how the 5 or so Ebay auctions turn out. Don't sell until you have located what you want to buy. And seeing as there are a bunch on Ebay - you will probably make more when buyers don't have the option on bidding on so many.

Here is a good Barcode up for sale though: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&item=270044366687&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

[lesroy]

Some good points lads... I love the idea of getting hold of those elusive prints we really cherish... and if that means selling some prints to fund your dream then so be it.

I just managed to buy a "Love is in the Air" (one of my all time favs!) and now I have set my sights on the "BombHugger" and "Laugh Now"... I would hate to sell ANY of my prints but if the time came and someone wanted to swap what I have for one that I wanted, then that would be fine!

But as Silky says... Buy it coz you LOVE IT!

[stjohn]

Any ideas on current value of an unsigned Golf Sale?

[finsburyparkranger]

Its so hard to say, radar rat made £11100 a couple of weeks ago and now its looking it might be punching well over15K. Saying that, right now, somewhere in the region of £750 - £1250 would probably be right IMO.

EDIT: Saying that if one went over £1500 I wouldn't flinch.

[honeypeacock]

Hello there

I'm looking to buy a signed Golf Sale as I have the perfect place on my wall and it's one of my favourites...
I know there's always Ebay but before i fall into its clutches, i thought I'd check here incase anyone is thinking of selling theirs.

thanks

[finsburyparkranger]

I've read enough and decided to cash my chips in and sell my signed golf sale. Its got full prov and is 100% mint. If I can agree on a good price with a forum member I am also willing to take them on a london Banksy site seeing tour with unlimited cider/ lager included for the journey and finish up with a free slap up curry and maybe a jazzwoodbine for afters.

All offers considered. No trades please, unless for nights of pleasure with kate moss (or lookalikey).




PS I reserve the right to say 'sod off you tight git and come back with a better offer' to all tight git offers.

PPS Due to the offer of unlimited alcohol during the trip, offers from Curley shall not be accepted. ;D

[stuey09]

Good luck with the sale FPR. Suggest you get a brandnew kingsize and a teasmaid for your 'guestroom' with the profits ;D

[foreman]

does it have the red banksy stamp on it?

[finsburyparkranger]

Well the guest room has already got a new Asbesdos, Mantis and Ripper original and soon getting an SBFO 40 and City girl 150, I think the guests should be happy enough.... this time.

[finsburyparkranger]

Sure does and comes with a santa's ghetto flyer and receipt.

Mate, a roof and 4 walls is good enough for this one. Look forward to seeing the decor next time I'm in town, particularly the Ripper canvas.

I do hope that the image shown is not actually the print you are selling. The middle tank is not supposed to have an antennae.

Probably best as i have drunk the eine show dry ;D

[tomhills1]

good luck mark, i really do know what you're going through and i'm sure the money will be squandered wisely

i'm tempted to buy it just for the piss up! either that or pack my arse in to a pair of calvin klein jeans and do my best kate moss impression assuming she gets the beer/curry treatment too?

If Kate takes me up on the offer, then I'll wash as well and if she's really lucky she'll get a guided tour of muswell hill golf course at night with a orange bottle of Mad dog 2020. Can't say fairer than that. The pic above was just taken from google, the print its self is currently at my uncles. My place has been robbed once and i can't trust the local crack heads to not spot a banksy, sadly. I'll get a pic of sig, tag, number, reciept and flyer as soon as I can.

I wish we could stop calling my room the 'guestroom'. Brand new kingsize (bed, I assume) sounds good. Fuck the teasmaid, Mrs FPR makes a crackin cuppa.

;D

Good selection of books on the shelves as well though eh Cracka. Re: Sundays game, I think the FA should remove Carra's points from the Yellow card he was given for complaining against the penalty (then I can have one back in the Fantasy League)

[a4mnt]

I don't know if I would call them books. Magazines more like

Whilst not quite on the subject of jazz, I'm still mulling over the phrase Jazzwoodbine. Very interesting.

We were well and truly robbed at the weekend. Still not at all happy

[finsburyparkranger]

I've been given a good offer by a gallery to present and sell the golf sale at a forthcoming show. If any of you lot are interested in buying it, then speak soon. After this week it will be unavailable. Also if you are interested in joining together and including more banksy's with mine at the show, I would be happy to share the benefits of doing so. Nothing like a little bit a unity to help negotiate more favorable terms.

[jonpud]

So wish I could buy this from you!! Good luck with the sale!!

[finsburyparkranger]

jonpud said:

Thanks Jonpud, it looks like the gallery might not even be getting it afterall. The interest has been high and the offers good. Its seems the golf sale is just as popular as when it sold out first at the santa's ghetto 04 (before nepalm and barcode and everything else). I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
