Love that this 2.5 year old thread is getting bumped. Shows who was in love back in the day and not just chasing the flavor of the month.

Although, it would be interesting to discuss what he should price his next IK at. It's pretty much a lose lose situation. If he releases them for 3k euros they would certainly sell but people would be upset that he raised them so much over the last few. If he sells them for 1250-1500 then bots get involved and regular fans can't get them and some asshole makes an instant 2k (if not more) a unit.

Almost better off doing a 1k euro timed open edition, nah that's going to be way too much work. Seriously doesn't seem like a great position for him to be in.

the 2 last ones 16 and 15 were at 600/700, it was the double of usuals (300 euros for the14 , 3D), but they were bigger ( not the double size but 30% larger )
Te last one was really beautiful.
Anyway not my range of procès, so no regrets at all.

Do you think he'll do another kit? It's been a couple of years now with no kits.

I'm wondering if we may have seen the end of 'affordable' invader mosaics. With the prices he's getting for aliases, and the rate he's invading (and therefore generating new alias potential) it's not like he needs to do kits really. 

If anything, no new kits would drive prices for existing kits even higher, further raising his profile. 

I'd love to see a new kit. Sadly, I think it would be out of my reach financially. 

[Wrinkled Brain]

I am interested and PM'd you yesterday. Cheers

as for prices: I did many deals on the forum and I´m a friend of clear asking prices. But for these two I don´t really have a clue. Hence pls send reasonable offers. Works are based in Germany (Berlin). I´m looking for cash but I´m always happy to discuss trades or partial trade ins (I like: barry mc gee, futura, rammellzee, JR etc.). I will decide soon about the finale sale.

cheers,

The UK book with the prints are great.
Concerning AP , I have never understood why AP' are more researched than normal edition ?! It's easier to have an AP than to F5 your keyboard ( it never works ).
Anyway, the wrapping is a bit floating on the corners no ?
It's true that prices of the Invader prints are going crazy weeks after weeks ...

[1ate7]

Thanks lroy.
With floating you mean the kit package ?

yes, maybe the reflection of the light ...
Never mind.
Have you an order of price for each or you really don't know ?

[1ate7]

Hey Lroy,
I would say reflection issue. The sunlight was north of the kit, so that must be the explenation.

prices:
I think signed kits less then 6k and prints less then 2k are almost not there. So I assume around that level.

cheers,
nm

[Lroy]

Well .. a bit high ...
It deserves reflection :-)

[1ate7]

all over night messagrs has been answered. I think I will decide today.
cheers,

Found this stashed between a couple of books whilst spring cleaning and have no interest in displaying it so it's available to anyone looking to acquire a small piece by Invader.

This is from the numbered edition of 150 issued in 2008, following the artist's visit to Kathmandu, Nepal and depicts a black and white invader (with red bindi) on an orange background and measures 18cms x 16cms. I bought this direct from orbi/spaceshop and, as such, can provide order confirmation and shipping details as provenance. 

There are a couple of small holes in the electrostatic packaging (which remains sealed and unopened) but that is something I have seen on most of the kits I own and have owned. All tiles are, of course, intact and undamaged. The final image is of the kit removed from the packaging in order to show the piece a little more clearly and was borrowed from Google Image Search..

I don't know the current valuation of this kit as I haven't seen one sell so any sensible offers please?

Thanks...

You'll get a gazillion offers for a gazillion dollars. Have fun being a king for a few hours while you sort through all the beggars salivating at the foot of your throne.

In all seriousness, you'll get very good offers...give it 24 hours to maximize your coverage.

[slipry]

... I think you meant "have fun being a Queen for a few hours ..."

This is the limit of this forum. Everybody complains that it's becoming like an auction in disguise, but to me it's even worse than that, because there are a lot of sales but nobody publishes a final price. At least auction houses publish their hammer prices, and those are significant references for the next buyer. Think about it.

[Eric Pause]

Wow, that's quite a find! I'll have to check my bookcases too. There's probably loads of Invader pieces in there.

I am quite happy for offers to be made publicy and/or to post a final price should this sell (with the privacy of the buyer preserved).  I ask for offers as I do not know the value of this kit so don't wish to undersell myself or waste time being told that I am asking too much.

I certainly don't appreciate the insinuation that I would deceive or manipulate anyone.

What do you expect? The sales that occur on the forum are private sales (i.e. none of your business).

Beyond that, if you think for a second that if the forum required sellers to post the agreed upon price, that it would be accurate and free from manipulation, you are extremely naive.
