Impending financial doom has forced this on me

'Laugh Now' Unsigned (no 368/600), purchased new by me from Analogue Books in Edinburgh and confirmed as legit by Dora at P.O.W. recently by email (after that spate of dodgy copies appeared not so long ago).

It's only been out of the shipping tube once since I bought it - to check the edition number - as I'd always wanted to wait until I'd actually finished my house renovations before I got it framed. Funny how these things drag on, and years later it's still awaiting that moment.

Looking for genuine serious cash offers, as it really would look better on some deserving wall than in my storage unit. So, go on someone, take advantage of my pressing financial need and grab a bargain.

If you're interested, drop me a message (I'm down in Southampton, but often in London for work).

Thanks,

Matt

It's a desirable early print and is one of the higher end priced prints up there with Barcode and LIITA so yes

not ideal that its been stored in a tube for several years. could be tricky flattening that baby out. not to mention the acid in the cardboard tube!

Cash offers in the region of???

[matthero]

I guess given the observations about storage etc, then I'm looking for an offer around the £2k mark.

i think youre selling yourself short there mate. its only a few weeks since one sold on ebay for $7,500 from the USA.
just cos it hasnt been stored in ideal conditions doesnt mean that theres anything wrong with it. most prints sold on here and on ebay have probably been stored in tubes for ages. its just that the sellers dont admit it.

We need alot of pictures, especially since its been rolled for years

I got mine off the bay for 3k not too long ago. One sold after mine for 3.8k. so at 2k, I think you'll look for a new arm ;D

Let me know if you've a Rude Copper to sell ;D

[pw]

best thing is to stick it on ebay. you'll probably get alot more than £2k. and you'll probably not get messed about as much either.

Thanks for all the comments.

You're probably right on eBay being the place to sell (on price at least), I guess I just want a good honest sale to someone who will actually use the piece as it was intended and not just be greedy for a few extra quid, when I've made a good profit in the first place.

End of the day, I've got a load of other prints - not related to this one sadly - that I'd like to be able to get framed. And after paying the urgent bills, might be a few quid left over for that. I might be being a tad naive, but hopefully someone will appreciate getting a good deal.

I'll take the risk with needing a new arm

I'm sure it will be fine if you let it naturally uncurl and flatten. And I think you're looking at 2.7-3K at a minimum. Throw it up on Ebay is my advice.

Thanks to everyone who wrote to me to discuss offers or just with advice, much appreciated (and I'm sorry I couldn't write back to everyone who wrote, as there was were just so many mails).

'Laugh Now' is already it's new home and I think will be much appreciated by the Forum member who bought it

Thanks,

Matt
