Banksy • Barcode Print, by adrscib on May 9, 2007 21:11:55 GMT 1, to LesbianWed...
reasons i sold:
1) i could not really find a decent maltese framer to do a good framing job with conservation standards and with your recommendations
2) my wife hates the print and is protesting regularly the face of death 
so basically i have 2 choices, keep the print in my portfolio and take it with me to frame it in the uk some day.... or use the excess liquidity that there is right now and get back my cost + some profit which i can use to pay off some of my home mortgage...
to verbalkint....
i have you for saying that we sound like "nigerian scam"... we are very reputable country, part of the EU and once a british colony... so dont be stupid... you actually used our country as a military base.
Our ties to the british are very strong, we are fanatics of the queen and many maltese invest in the UK, a strong fact is that the maltese have more money held in UK banks than in Malta!!!
We are also governed by EU laws too. Just to clear out any false facts you are claiming about my country.

when did i say you were a nigerian scammer? infact did i mention nigeria at all? i dont think i did.
I couldnt give a toss if we have a military base on your island, malta is indeed a beautiful country, have been there twice.
And my point remains valid, if you sell this print for £6500 then i will be amazed.
And my post has saved your auction from being pulled by ebay, saved you from reading all those pesky rules

Banksy • Barcode Print, by finsburyparkranger on May 9, 2007 22:39:48 GMT 1, did he sell you one FPR? love that story.
Yep he sold me a lovely signed golf sale. I said I really wasn't sure I could afford £150 (I had to get it signed or not at all). He said I shouldn't worry because it will be worth alot more one day. The girl next to him rolled her eye's.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by tadghostal on May 10, 2007 2:51:08 GMT 1, my advice would be if that does happen, try and hold tight no matter how bad things get because although in the short-term prices may go below where they should be, in time they will rise and level off.
Two things:
First, all markets peak and crash. All of them. The market for Banksy will as well. Not a question of if, only of when. If anybody knows of a single market that defies this rule, please do let us all know of it.
Second, if you are a believer in the long run value of Banksy, now is a terrible time to buy. Whatever the crowd is doing, your best bet is do the exact opposite. When the market inevitably crashes, giggle to yourself as you scoop up an entire portfolio of signed Banksys for what will seem to be chump change.
Bottom line is, unless you can honestly afford to lose every penny spent on buying a Banksy at today's prices, you'd be a fool to buy anything now. An awful lot of people on these forums counting chickens that haven't hatched yet.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by pw on May 10, 2007 3:38:35 GMT 1, does anyone here follow the prices of other contemporary artists such as Warhol, Basquiat, Hirst etc?
it would be interesting to know how the prices of signed Banksy prints compares to these artists.
I believe that banksys prices are fast approaching those of these artists, and I ask myself, is this justified and/or sustainable??

AGREE 100% EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING.
That said I still believe theres still a step up in prices where it will peak with the trolleys release. This will just cause more dreamers jumping on the bandwagon late and making the fall all the more painful...

Banksy • Barcode Print, by finsburyparkranger on May 10, 2007 8:44:57 GMT 1, Yeah always ups and downs in the market. Thats irrelevant for the long term investor though. Does Banksy represent a generation? Will you be able to seriously discuss early twentyth century art with out giving Banksy a prominent mention? Is Banksy already a legend is his lifetime and what does this mean for his death? These are the kind of questions you need to engage with to decide if todays price is a good one.

I hadn't previously noticed that the seller of this print is selling a full set of LA printer's proofs and they're all at silly prices with days to go. This thread has been running for a while now and I think there's little else to say on either prices or proofs. But it is simply obscene!

If my recollection is correct, these may be the ones that sold as a complete set in October for about US$15,000.
