Hi all,

I have two coloured soup cans and I think I my need to sell them. In fact I'm in denial. I need to sell them.

They are No.10/10 Yellow, Emerald, Sky Blue and No. 9/10 Yellow, Blue and Tan.

Thoughts on worth? I know that there is the Sotherbys auction over the next couple of days.

If anone wants to make an offer then please PM me but I am interest in what people think they are worth. I am selling these to try and save the rest of my collection as I eeek my way through art college.

Answers on a postcard.

i would say around £3500 each. you must have some good work in reserve to be able to sacrifice those 2 by the way.
"as I eeek my way through art college" don't you mean smoke!

[dwight]

3500 seems a little high to me. I would guess somewhere a little lower in the 2700 range from what I've seen on the bay over the past months... But that's only if you sell over ebay, there are other art houses that seek prints..

[crazyarsemother]

As a mature student eeeking includes paying mortages. probably have to sell the rest in the long run, except for my signed HMV which was a present from my girlfriend.
do you not think £3500 is quite a lot? i hope your right.

[tomhills1]

i've looked at some history on ebay (undeleted watch items) and there was a green/yellow one that went for £2660 (i think). i've just deleted the listing so i can't give you the item number, sorry.
there have been a couple of the edition of 25 since christmas, and i only remember seeing the one coloured one.
not the most helpful i know but i would have thought on a good day you would break £3000. perhaps £3500 is very optimistic.
good luck anyway with it, must be a bit of a heartbreaker having to let them go but i suppose needs must and all that.

Usually, art houses and galleries pay less than a private buyer as they need to be able to mark-up the print 50-100% at a minimum. Private buyer will usually get you the most money but galleries and art houses usually don't screw around. Quick cash if you need it.

You could try contacting ebay user dazsw18 (who bought the one mentioned above) he's bought tons of Banksy's recently (even muliples of the same print) just a thought, although you'd need to be careful working outside the ebay protected area.

[romanywg]

He's bought about 6 Flags in the past!!

[tomhills1]

what a difference a few weeks make!!!!!! 120085511153.

and i back-tracked on my original guess after looking at a few previous sales, couple of people got a bargain a little while back by the looks of it.

he's still got another one up his sleeve to boot!

[tomhills1]

when i wrote that last post the bidding was at £4100, now it's £5300! still got 7 hours, fair play.

[hexagonsun]

i bet he goes out tonight! drinks on him i would assume

[tomhills1]

just sold for £6100!!!!

[corblimeylimey]

Blimey, IMHO I think it's a crap image in crap colours, I guess people love the fact there's only ten of them.

If that's worth that much then how much does that make a Kate colourway worth?

[tadghostal]

Couldn't agree more. Don't quite understand why so many artists continue to put out their own variation on the soup can theme.

Then again, I find Warhol to be dull as watching paint dry.

[tomhills1]

i suppose in some ways it's a more rare image than CWS and even kids on guns, albeit a canvas there are 25. i agree though, CWS etc are striking and limited hence top whack prices. soupcan is pretty lame and the wrong side of six grand (the right side for crazyarsemother) is f*ckin scary.
how much have kate's sold for recently? i know there are a load of unique proofs yeah? 12 maybe? and then how many in the run? what did they sell for originally? this should be a new thread shouldn't it.

[crazyarsemother]

Gosh!

A concise, yet appropriate, reaction.

That money should help you get through college. ;D

[lesroy]

I have to admit I LOVE the soup can print. Although I prefer the original colourway... the green and yellow that Easton Rocker sold for £2350 is my second favourite!

These are one of my Favourite Banksy Images ever, if you haven't seen one on the flesh then you really should do... simply stunning with the Silver metallic and reflective lids!

£6k is a little steep but I'm sure this thread will be dug out in a year for us all to laugh at

[pastiepie]

I think I'll just stick with my soupcan poster for now. I think this is a case of somebody buying for the signature/limited edition. How much is the original signed run of 50 going for?

[dwight]

I guess I'll eat my words from my original post on this thread... Can't believe that went that high...
Also, I agree about the crap colors... the blue one looks good, but those just look strange...imo
