[Keeping It Council]

Hey there I have a Hush 'Graf Geisha' (Red) available as I have an original on the way so as a result I would like to trade this print for something cool by Cept / Asbestos / Obey?

Thanks

[timba82]

mate that sounds like a much better deal for the trader.....as much as i like cept (i had a cep villain girl ap.p which i recently sold) his prints are no where near the value of the red gg.

same kind of goes for many of obey's or absbestos'

I don't own any Hush, but I do have a sh1t-ton of OBEY. I've got 1 + a few Kinsey's on here....

That OBEY print is called 'Presidential Seal.' It's 1 of 300.

Hit me up if you're interested.

It may well be matey but there seems no point in having the same image on my wall twice so might as well get a new image, but hey if somebody wants to give me a Banksy or Faile I don't mind making the deal better on my end!

Ahhh, such a breath of fresh air coming on here....not! Value value value......... is that what its all about, yeah, why bother what the f.ucking thing actually looks like?!

Im hopefully getting a Cept work soon, i like his works. Hope you get one!.

[jones27]

Cepts commissions start at £1500...Could be a good time to invest in his prints.

[Martin DK]

Good luck Keeping It Council, it should be fairly easy to find a swap I think, although I also think cept have made some amazing stuff. Also congrats on the original - lets see photos when it arrives!

you've completely missed my point fella. all i'm saying is that the hush print is worth more money at present than a cept print.
ok a bad example but you're not going to want to swap a banksy for a copyright! no offence copyright.
get off the offensive man and lower your tone

Timba, I totally see his point. I respect KIC for not focussing too much on monetary value in this scenario. I think the point is very valid that so much emphasis can be placed on pinning down exact market values, that sometimes we can devalue the art within the forum (sadly ironic). I'm not pointing my finger at you at all mate, as I've probably been very guilty of this at times too. However I'd love to think one or two members might hopefully feel that I've been generous when swapping with them in the past and I think that so long as both parties feel happy with what they get and aren't too worried about a small difference in value (which is really pretty fickle in this market), the cash value is not so relevant, unless one buys with a financial return in mind, which I do not, but I realise many/most here do. For someone like me who's never sold on ebay, I probably wouldn't achieve market prices in any case as I have no seller feedback, so market value isn't as relevant to me as it might seem it should be anyway (it's only worth what you can get for it after all)!

Of course your point about very significant value differences remains valid too, but this is supposed to be a community wher we share information about and our passion for the art, which is why on very rare occasions (too rare imo), you might see people giving eachother good deals to facilitate eachothers' enjoyment of the art (as Pud did with a Walker canvass for harveyn a while back, by selling it at cost, when he could clearly have made more oney from it).
KIC works for an urban art gallery anyway, so I doubt he needs much help pricing stuff up!;D

[timba82]

mate your point is taken and i agree with your reasoning behind wanting to swap purely for the love of whatever piece it is – regardless of whether it will not be of any financial gain.

however I’m personally not in any position to take big losses on any pieces I buy. I just don’t have the money. If on the other hand something special rears its head which i could enjoy regardless of the value then fine. It would have to be darn special though.

I gota say HC that your approach was a lot less hostile than HOWABOUTNO. Point taken.

I hope you get what your after KIC. Good luck fella

[Karl Read]

I got quite a bit of Obey, anything you are after?

[Rsyok]

Theres a few Cept still available on Stella Dore. Are you fussed on my pm'ed offerings KIC ?

[HowAboutNo]

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere and is a bit late, but Cept prints now available on www.spradio.com

[HowAboutNo]

And Timba, sorry for being so harsh, but my point was valid. It wasn't directed solely at you but more on the basis of its what most people bang on about over here.

CEPT rocks ! i have to say thanks for the above link , some really nice prints there
