What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by ABC on Sept 17, 2014 7:46:48 GMT 1, This one by Charming Baker, 4000 USD at the time. Got the checkout link but had second thoughts.Β 
that brings back memories of his Shoreditch show. I looked at so many with intention of buying but they were around 1k if I remember. Wanted the original of panda boy.

Email Mecka Gallery re. the Supine you never know they may have one left :-)
edit. Just checked and it now says sold out. May still be worth a try though.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Aza on Sept 18, 2014 14:28:14 GMT 1, Those old Banksy prices are funny to see.
I used to spend ages looking at all those which were for sale.
However I did finally bite the bullet and buy Christ with Shopping Bags.
My Mum thought I was crazy to spend Β£500 on a 'poster'.
I thought the price was through the roof too, however I loved the image so much, I couldn't resist.
Of course I feel sick about not buying a load of canvases, but it seemed so much money to me at the time

Dawn and Gemma with magenta background, so close to pulling the trigger and could not do it. The more I think, the more I regret... But I am at least have a healthier bank account for passing on it.

Then there was the Dolk grenade lovers canvases that were sat there for ages before selling out.

I don't regret not buying anything by Banksy because at the time, I didn't think they were worth the money but with the other two, I did think that they were worth the money but didn't buy them - I regret that.

Anyone who convinces themselves that a shit picture done by a shit artist is great and has meaning becaause the same shit art is sold for a high price through an auction house to some coked out hedge fund manager or other ilk hyping up prices is thick.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Someones Brain on Oct 16, 2014 7:44:10 GMT 1, I try to avoid regrets, in particular with regard to material things. There's always a next/new piece of art. Makes no sense to think it over and over again (like ... if had known then, what I know now ...).
Also, do you folks have regrets because you learned/realized too late that you really like a piece of art (that you didn't like when it was released first) or just because some pieces you'd have been able to buy cheap went up in price and are now out of reach (or could be sold with a profit)? There are a lot of price tags named in this thread.
Again, makes no sense to spoil your day with thoughts like that. So, disappointment at the very moment I miss out on something I want - yes - , but no regrets. I try to live more like this:
"you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets,
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself,
makes much more sense to live in the present tense"

After emailing Mr B via the old cashformonkeys site about buying affordable Banksy work in 1999... I got an invite to his first London show... My regret is deciding not to attend the show on the walls/tunnel on Rivington Street in 2000 after waiting for updates on the day of show, then it was announced at the last minute and I thought it'd be too much hassle getting there. What I missed.    And although I can't be sure if I would have bought something even if I had gone... I missed out on being able to buy the affordable piece I'd asked about.
Is that Robert Webb, bottom pic

Had the money, coincidentally had the week off work...bottled it. I could still go but I guess the same reasons are stopping me now as then.
