What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by crashwilliams on Apr 18, 2019 6:43:37 GMT 1, Back in the day, telling all my friends about Banksy and being able to buy prints for 75/125 (Unsigned & signed) and no one being interested - id already bought several. I then wandered off, buying eelus, dolk and various others. Still think back on those days and wonder why I follow more of my advice and buy the whole lot!
Selling a signed jack & jill and grin reaper for peanuts - though at the time, it did get me out of a hole.
Contacted by a good mate, did I want to go halfs on a £1200 Banksy Canvas...
Ah well!

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by spencerlee on Apr 18, 2019 7:16:50 GMT 1, Whatson - Ballet Dancer girl thing. Nearly bought direct from him, didn't ugh.
Unlike a lot on here, I never had chance to buy a Banksy canvas, but I remember clearly when POW had loads of prints, Grin Reaper, all the cans variants and so on. I only didn't buy a soup can as I couldn't decide on a colourway.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Lroy on Apr 18, 2019 7:20:46 GMT 1, My Invader Paris kit, the Paris one ( green and red ) unsigned but of legend. Invader posted a pic after the cathedral burning.
I had to get money for the Banksy Sales End so I had to sell art ( I never do usually ) , I asked my young son ( gone now - hope not forever - as my kit - sorry for the comparison lol, it’s not funny anyway  -, as they are supposed to belong to my kids when I will die ( I’m not rich so art will help them, just hope that they won’t throw it in the dustbins ) and he told me to keep the 3D signed one - not as much beautiful.
So I sold it - not too much, 2 K + a box set -, but i have lost a part of myself, a bit of Paris that was in my heart and soul - venirs !
Oh I know, you will say it’s not a Banksy or an artwork wit multiple K, but art is not only a question of money but history, heART, and love. Past and witness of a period of your life !
Yes Banksy, a lot have regrets, is it only for the actual value?

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Lroy on Apr 18, 2019 7:28:00 GMT 1, Ah I’ve sold the first mini lp of Berrurier Noir and Guernica, only for mates ( artisanal pressing at 200/300 ex) , they were my mates and I played with some of them, an incredible rarity as it was the beginning of another kind of punk in France ! I am a t**t

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by hibster on Apr 18, 2019 8:29:32 GMT 1, banksy ones for me, when pow was in park street in Bristol in the 90's (was that what the gallery/ shop was called?) & the WSM print was there (still my favourite) along with loads of others but £70 for sa signed & even £50 for unsigned was too much as a poor student with a large credit card bill to spend on a poster
so this wasn't a one time chance, this was over a looooong period of it being available
the monkeys with the safes series was another I liked, but don't know if that was available as print
I just enjoyed seeing them all around on the streets of Bristol instead
always wanted a print of the pic in my sig from johnny ball lane, but no idea if it was ever released.
wasn't until much later that learnt of other artists.
wasn't even aware of the stik show at king of paint referred to above :-(

My contribution, saw my first Miller print, Health and Safety is Killing Bondage at Other Criteria a couple of years ago, was still available at source, remember standing there and my other half saying it was too much money.

Missed out on an Oli Epp canvas by a few minutes a couple of years back haven’t been able to get even a sniff of one since. I think that boat has left the dock now unfortunately 😭 It really hasn't. with respect he's just starting out. He's not Banksy or Condo or even Connor Harrington. He has time to mess it all up and come back again several times. |

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by kuni on Apr 18, 2019 12:32:34 GMT 1, There's a Jonas Wood print available now for 18k. Interesting to see what people do with all this talk of one's that got away.
If I had a spare $18k I would be crawling on my knees trying to get one of these prints. But alas, it’s tax time, and I just gave the fed all my cash. But yes, I will likely be telling how I could have had that JW print for $18k 10 years from now.

Me and my mates were all down in Brighton for the weekend and all passed up GWB unsigned from art republic. We could have bought a holiday home in Ibiza if we’d all hung on and sold now!!! Got signed Police Kids and Virgin Mary for £150 each a few weeks later so not all bad.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Coach on Apr 18, 2019 14:03:06 GMT 1, My other two regrets (though I am not, by any measure, plagued by them) are:
Not managing to agree a price (which now would be a pittance for a piece by him) for a small Miller penguin book cover original with a member on here.
When I had the opportunity to buy a Blu drawing. At the time probably at a cost of around 1/15 of what I would have to pay now, if I could. I stupidly asked if the price was inclusive of vat, and in the moments wasted doing that it sold to a smashing chap on here.
Both of these were years ago now.

I almost spunked my student loan on a girl with balloon double canvas £2k from laz.
Asked my now wife if she wanted a girl with balloon print while still on pow for £150, nah.
Buying 2 us jack and Jill’s from pow and some how pressed the pay by cheque button by mistake. Nothing turned up and buy the time I’d realised what happened theyd all gone.

It’s really interesting, almost morbidly so, to hear about all of the pieces that could have been. Also how many would be $100k+ purchases were nixed by the significant other (or at least that’s how we remember it now).

-, as they are supposed to belong to my kids when I will die ( I’m not rich so art will help them, just hope that they won’t throw it in the dustbins ) and he told me to keep the 3D signed one - not as much beautiful.
