Ross has been reincarnated!! hadn't noticed that you could change your username again, good spot.

Is it the same Ross as the old Ross?

C'mon coach he was flipping here all the time keep up!

Welcome home Ross.

[blobbydon]

Looks like that radar rat seller just lost his 1 feedback with a negative from the person who bought the print before... Hahaha

It also looks like that print has just been relisted. He's a tryer.

Hi All,

On the back of the fascinating barcode FT thread, i've decided to see what may be out there for the RR.  Everyone i guess knows the details, ed of 75, hand finished, 2004.  I have the COA and its registered in my name at POW.

NOT looking to sell at all, so please no cash offers.

Interested in APs, and editioned canvasses.  Happy to add money to the right deal.

[Quinnster]

That's nice...... I'm sad I have nothing good to trade.

[dotdot]

well if there was one thing i'd thought i'd never see up here.

this would the THE RAT.

sorry nothing to trade for this one.. i'm afraid and yes slightly sad to say.

Good luck.

[Deleted]

It's a great print but I feel you will have alot to add on Editioned canvases ... An AP is your best bet! But I wouldn't hold out for a Nola
Good luck !

[eschiff]

yeah, you're probably right but will see i suppose.

I actually should have mentioned, i already have a NOLA AP (blue-green rain) so not interested in that print.

Einstein, do you believe the NOLA is worth more than the RR? That would be amazing if true. I just got offered a RR from a gallery, no idea what AP NOLAs are going for. I wouldn't trade my NOLA simply because i've only had it for a year or so while i've had the RR for a bit longer and may be interested in a change on the walls.

[Damien]

i thought radar rat would be worth close to double value of nola?

[eschiff]

i would have too, but NOLAs (especially APs) seem to have skyrocketed, even since i bought mine a year or so ago.

Not sure when the last RR to sell was so not sure of prices.

[longshanks]

i want this.

take what you want; wife, car, watches - you can have the lot.

Radar Rat is worth about £13k - £15k IMO, Nola AP about £17k - £18k

I was offered a RR as I said for 18k about a month ago.  When i was on the search for this a few years back, prices were about 15k.  The problem with this print is its so damn hard to find.  I had no sniffs in a private sale and galleries (at least at that time) weren't budging on their price.  The small edition size and age of the print probably mean that it's not out there as much.

As for NOLA APs, the higher the price the better, but that's amazing considering most of us bought these 18 months ago for almost half that price.

Radar rats are £16-£18k
Nola APs are £20k plus now
You will do well to get either on the secondary market at the minute

[saint]

Nola ap's are 20k plus?

How much are Nola greys worth then?

I am fairly astonished that radar rats could be worth less than nola tbh...

[craigf]

I was offered a RR reasonably recently by a gallery for £16k inc VAT. I was discussing a direct deal below this, but it was on hold until the seller got their act together and a COA. They are beautiful little things and I still would like one for the wall one day

wow.  that's amazing if true and no reason to doubt.  But NOLA APs were 7k only a year ago.  Glad i got mine then.

Slightly incredible that radar rat, his only hand finished print, from a run of 75 could be 10-15% less than NOLA.

[Harveyn]

Sorry SD to disagree but you will not find a RR for under £16k in a private deal and given the recent price hikes I doubt you will find one under £18k, IMO. I know I have one and therefore my judgement might be clouded but thats my honest opinion. Mine is not for sale.

For the few hand finished prints he has done the RR is by far the most involved. Admitedly there are 75 of them but its a classic image.

I presume NOLA APs are not hand finished?

[Deleted]

I agree with Harveyn , RR are hard to come by!
I would pay £16k all day long fir one if I could find one !
But I'm guessing that boat has sailed

[eschiff]

i ended up buying mine from a gallery in LA...my search took about 2 years!

[Deleted]

Keep it mate !
It will serve you well ...

>>>I presume NOLA APs are not hand finished?<<<

No, they are not. 6 different color variants totaling 66 in sum but I don't believe there are 11 of each as some variants had more/less than others.

Am I moronic with the search function or did the barcode thread disappear? That had a bit of interesting banter from memory but I can't find it anymore.

Hey lee it's marked closed now

[lee3]

^ Thank you sir; hope you're happy with whatever outcome you saluted there. Nice problem to have too between both of these threads and have no idea what I would choose personally. With this thread, on the one hand you have a hand finished rat and on the other hand, it's a comparatively tiny footprint from what you're considering. Better your call than mine, good luck

[lsa]

What is the cost price of nola AP now?

I know 5 month ago was 7500

[mouser]

Hell, i'd trade all 6 of my signed rats for the right editioned canvas, RR is tough to find but a lovely beastie, had mine a few years now and still pride of place in the living room. Let my Nola go a few years back, one print that just left me cold. I'dkeep the RR esciff, the closest most of us will ever get to an original due to the hand finishing.

[Warm Gun]

Blooming love a good RR me, it far eclipses a Nola ap in my opinion. I also think it's ever-so-slightly bollox that the Nola ap prices have gone up £10k in a year.

[Coach]

I know I am very much in the minority, but I just can't see the attraction of nola. 
Give me an older print everyday. RR by contrast, is iconic.
