good thing is, until you physically put in your card details, your print is not safe. thats great so it stops people playing tennis.

A truly awful print! I wouldn't pay £20 for it.

If people like and want to buy this print then go and look at the works of Jeff Aerosol (or whoever really did it first). Come on...it's stencil art, the exectution is near enough all the same, you are buying the idea.

Warhol *Statue of Liberty 1986



Andys' first Liberty was in 1963, He created many through the years. The above piece was one of the last, if not the last.

I kind of meant with a paintbrush/spray can. Thanks for that though great image

Isn't the only reason people have bought them is to flip them. I can't believe we will see many of these framed. Happy to be proved wrong by all you MBW fans though!

same can be said for banksy.

[willywonka]

The same can be said I guess. But I think more would be framed eventually than these.

Like I said I wait with baited breath to see how the forum fans get them framed.

how many green and gray NBG's have been flipped?

[rash]

So many arse holes on here, you can openly admit to flipping just to make a bit of dollar, I actually wanted this print to add to my collection... yes to keep because I actually like his work and think he is a talented guy!

Get to the check out... sold out, betting half the people who got one are the ones that bad mouth his work... WHAT A JOKE!!!

[monkeyart]

Give it a couple of weeks and these will go for below cost...

[rottenredrooster]

I don't count 19 on eBay, maybe I'm wrong.

My sentiments exactly. (When it comes to the Shep Dalai Lama print that is.)

I know, right? I mean when the Banksy NBG's print went on sale (Grey and Green) NOBODY put those on ebay for like months... In fact, legend has it that there was only one grey on ebay once, but was taken down for reasons unexplained... some say it was only put up as a practical joke by Banksy himself and then immediately taken down; some say that it in fact WASNT a grey NBG, but instead some print by eelus... spooky stuff mang!

[moleman]

erm banksy release near xmas so helped people to pay for xmas with the 1500-2000 profit not the 200ish for Mr Brainwash

come on people its the same but miles apart

[monkeyart]

POW try to stop flipping before the print is in hand, does MBW have such a backup?

Thinking about it probably not... he just whats to get rid of the bloody prints :-)

200 quid profit for next to no work is a lot of money.

[bazzj04]

cadeeallow i actually like them prints you got there.
Although i think the Libert print is very poor , but at the same time if im honest , i would most likely have brought this print (if home from work in time) but never planed to keep, i am guessing there is a number of people on here who are thinkig the same. I know and i hate the idea of flipping art to make money i dont approve of it but also at the same time i think and know i would have done this , basically i see this as a great chance for Art lovers to get a bit of cash easily and fast. I would imagine the majority of people flipping this will buy something with the cash that they actually like , i think this should, and has been used as a great chance for art lovers to get a bit of cash , hopefully knowing this is rubbish work but at same time see a chance to make a quick buck . Im all for it , It will all end up with people having work on there wall which they love regardless who buys it,

i wanted this image, i thought image was cool, logged on, sold out.

im not saying its not im just saying comparing the 2 is miles apart

"Art lovers to get a bit of cash easily and fast" lol!! perfect quote for this thread... just pure irony!!

[raiden]

Randomly enough, I personally don't like the color Yellow. Never had, won't buy a yellow print, even if its Banksy.

That's my subjective opinion.

Objectively:

Can we all agree this print is basically Nick Walker's "Morning After" concept married to one of a thousand urban artists takes on the statue of liberty? Probably resulting from Thierry idiotically putting one of his post-it notes on a Nick Walker and telling his assistant to do something like it with the statue of liberty because he was in NY?

As for secondary market value:

One lucky sap will sell his for $600+, then it will gradually slink down to the low $400s, because no one will be willing to sell theirs cheaper than that - giving an artificial floor to the market as stubborn MBW fans opt to sit on the print in a tube in expectations of its rise in future value.

My estimate is that 40% of these get flipped. 50% sit in tubes, and 10% make a wall.

Then depending on how many successful flips, the perceived price for his next print will go up or down - and its a question of MBW managing his market - similar to any other collectible - from Beanie Babies to trading cards.

If he can continue having enough perceived value, the pent up supply of tubed prints will eventually make walls, and the price will start going up again from what market makers have set as their artificial floor of "I won't sell it below this price."

No its not, one involves sitting in front of a computer at the right time, the other is 20 hours queuing in -3 degree... i know which one is easier.

My honest estimates for this print... 70 percent will get flipped, 25% sit in flat files... 5% make it to the walls. 3 have already sold at the 'Buy it Now' price of $385.
