Banksy • Barcode Print, by johnerotten on May 9, 2007 0:37:28 GMT 1, huge sell off? how many reapers are there?
how many signed rats?
there is great discrepancy in price today and two months ago too.
hmmmmnnnn. not too many signed to go around.
i think the banksy vs. warhol exhibition will stir things up a bit considering Warhol surpassed Picasso in sales last week. anyone read that article? i saved it.
great thread here. some people have mentioned that if prices of signed prints stabilise or start to drop there could be a huge sell-off resulting in a price crash. however, the prices of unsigned prints have dropped from their peak values, but this hasn't resulted in a huge sell-off. why do poeple think this is? maybe the owners are hoping that prices will pick up again??

Banksy • Barcode Print, by pw on May 9, 2007 0:51:10 GMT 1, johnerotten , I think you've read my post wrong. I wasn't trying to say that theres a sell-off happening at the moment. someone mentioned that it may happen if the price of signed prints stabilised.
I was merely wondering why there was no sell-off of unsigned prints when their prices stabilised. my guess is that people assume that theres still some growth in that market.

you nailed it - SPECULATION - anytime theres a buying frenzy based on speculation (whether its tech stocks or real esate etc etc) it always ends bad...

Maybe I'm being a pessimist, but I'm not so sure of this Fin. While there are a fair few people that own Banksy prints, I do think there are a small number of individuals sitting on large numbers of multiple copies. Certain people have been stockpiling since long before the current boom.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by slowmo on May 9, 2007 10:50:39 GMT 1, Something that I am surprised no one has given any thought to as yet on discussing the longevity of Banksy as an artist is that no one knows who he is (ok people do, but not general public)! Effectively every release could be his last. Dead artist walking if you like.
The good piece in the New Yorker shows a person at odds with what they have become, he can't spray a wall without someone seeing asking are you Banksy. He no longer feels the need to undermine or change the world. Solution, kill Banksy, take a new tag and get back to doing what you loved in the first place, street art.
End result, £9800 looks like a tidy sum for a very famous 'dead' artists print limited to 150 in the world.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by bobbymeachamjr on May 9, 2007 15:01:33 GMT 1, Lets not be naive and think that theres no market manipulators with this whole craze. People in the higher ups and galleries loaded up on the cheap before they (yes they) unleash the PR > ie Sothebys front cover > Boom massive profits. While some of us might benefit on an individual level its the rich getting richer...

i think it was me who brought this up; the reason a widespread sell-off could occur is the simple fact of their value. if a recession came tomorrow and there were people needing to sell some assets to keep a roof over their head then a signed print is an obvious solution. if there was a recession going on the number of potential buyers and the amounts they could afford to spend would be fewer. this would almost certainly lead to at least a levellingoff of prices and if there were a number of people in financial difficulties then the potential of a market crash would be considerable.
in the uk, the average level of personal un-secured debt is astounding. so many people have debts and if the tide turns they're gonna get cut-off. it could only take a small economic change, or even a change in government, to trigger such events.
i'm not being a pessamist, though this is a worse case scenario i'm suggesting, it is just worth bearing in mind that such high-level short-term growths are historically unsustainable. and i'll bet this one is too.

very, very interesting point. obviously warhol is dead, picasso too, so there values are going to increase all the time they remain popular. if banksy were to come out as 'robert banks - the artist' and draw a line under his career so far, who knows what will happen?
in the future it may be referred to as robert banks' "street period", or "banksy period" then things will go f*cking mental.
either way, live by this: buy what you like and enjoy looking at it all your life, then let your kids sell them off when you've gone and squander your fortuneany way they see fit. everyone's a winner then

Yes, awesome thread!
Hey johnerotten - can I get a copy of that article on Warhol sales you mentioned, please?
johnerotten , I think you've read my post wrong. I wasn't trying to say that theres a sell-off happening at the moment. someone mentioned that it may happen if the price of signed prints stabilised. I was merely wondering why there was no sell-off of unsigned prints when their prices stabilised. my guess is that people assume that theres still some growth in that market. huge sell off? how many reapers are there? how many signed rats? there is great discrepancy in price today and two months ago too. hmmmmnnnn. not too many signed to go around. i think the banksy vs. warhol exhibition will stir things up a bit considering Warhol surpassed Picasso in sales last week. anyone read that article? i saved it.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by verbalkint on May 9, 2007 19:07:42 GMT 1, wow, i cannot believe that a thread that i started has ended up so meaningful!
As for Banksy dissapearing, the man is not a retard with a spray can, he is a very shrewd, intelligent businessman and he has alot of fingers in alot of pies. His anonimity works entirely in his favour as the enigma only adds to the appeal. He is the new Damien Hirst, he doesnt play the game and by all accounts, from speaking to people well within the inner circle of the art world, he is well in control of his own empire (and it is growing into an empire). Right now Banksy does not need an agent, or a manager. He does not need galleries to sell his work or people to organise things for him. With most artists, the gallery that represents them is well in control, with banksy, i would be amazed if that was the case.
No, i think that banksy will be around for many many years, and i have no doubt that he will manage to retain his freshness and credibility despite the mass media intrest in him.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by adrscib on May 9, 2007 19:46:29 GMT 1, true, you can negative point me, but personal circumstances beyond control happened which are forcing me to sell it. if i manage to sort them out i might cancel the sale. and even if i m trying to sell i dont mean i will actually sell it.
You are quite right and I am sorry for letting you and some other ppl down. I cannot try to argument with you as I will lose all credibility. Having said that I still remain a banksy fan (even if i sell the print) and i thank you all on the board who has helped me in framing ideas etc of my other prints.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by verbalkint on May 9, 2007 20:06:44 GMT 1, when will people realise that you cannot put 'i reserve the right to end the auction early as i am advertising this for sale elsewhere' on ebay listings. If you get reported, your auction will be pulled. You may as well put 'i am open to offers to end the auction early and do the sale outside of ebay to avoid the £200 final value fees and the £200 paypal fees, i am just using ebay for exposure'!!!
I mean seriously, why write anything, even if you are planning to pull the listing? Do you think that if you dont write something that you are not legally allowed to pull the listing? dont be stupid. Do you think it gives you credibility, makes you sound like a sales force to be reckoned with? ITS AGAINSED EBAYS RULES AND IF SOMEONE IS PETTY ENOUGH TO GRASS YOU UP, YOUR LISTING WILL BE PULLED.
Sorry for the rant, but some peoples stupidity really pisses me off, if you are going to sell on ebay, and sell items worth £££££ then at least read the chuffing rules first

Banksy • Barcode Print, by verbalkint on May 9, 2007 20:17:12 GMT 1, exactly thomas
would anyone pay £2500 over the market value of a print and send said money to another country where you will not have a prayer of either getting money back or justice for theft of money if print does not get sent. deep breath
I wouldnt, but life is full of idoits i suppose

i'm not going to -1 you ad, i'm just a little dissapointed that's all. we've spoken a bit and you seemed dead set on keeping it and actually getting it framed up and on the wall for you to enjoy. then 18 hours after you posted on here about not parting with it you put it up for sale?
it's your's to do with as you wish and any decision to sell is yours and yours only. i'm not going to come all high and mighty with you as it's none of my business and who's to say any one of us will never be in a situation where we have to sell.
like i say i'm surprised and a little disapointed.

it does say in the listing you can travel and collect in person. a bit of an upheavel but if you're prepared to pay that kind of money?

I tell you one person I met who's carrying a load. Its the bloke that was working in santa's ghetto in 2004 in charing cross road (or was that 2005?). I said that I loved the golf sale print and that it was such a shame it was sold out. He took a deep breath and then whispered he's got more up stairs. He said they'll be worth a fotune one day and he's keeping some for him self. When he was upstairs one the the sales girls turned to me and said she didn't know what the hell he was doing with all those prints upstairs and joked about the fact that he thought they were his pension.
True story. No word of a lie.
When speculators corrupt a market they usually consume a vast percantage of stock. Even the big boys seem to only be holding a handful of Banksy's each. I think the ownership of the Banksy Market is unusually democratic. Something to consider. Maybe I'm being a pessimist, but I'm not so sure of this Fin. While there are a fair few people that own Banksy prints, I do think there are a small number of individuals sitting on large numbers of multiple copies. Certain people have been stockpiling since long before the current boom. I tell you one person I met who's carrying a load.

are ebay fees really that much? what is the percentage of ebay and paypal fees?
shit why not fly to the US and cut out ebay and paypal and pick up in person.
when will people realise that you cannot put 'i reserve the right to end the auction early as i am advertising this for sale elsewhere' on ebay listings. If you get reported, your auction will be pulled. You may as well put 'i am open to offers to end the auction early and do the sale outside of ebay to avoid the £200 final value fees and the £200 paypal fees, i am just using ebay for exposure'!!! I mean seriously, why write anything, even if you are planning to pull the listing? Do you think that if you dont write something that you are not legally allowed to pull the listing? dont be stupid. Do you think it gives you credibility, makes you sound like a sales force to be reckoned with? ITS AGAINSED EBAYS RULES AND IF SOMEONE IS PETTY ENOUGH TO GRASS YOU UP, YOUR LISTING WILL BE PULLED. Sorry for the rant, but some peoples stupidity really pisses me off, if you are going to sell on ebay, and sell items worth £££££ then at least read the chuffing rules first
