What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying

[Dellboyy]

This!



I didn't like the Eelus background to it at the time, but stumbled across this picture again a while back and loved it! Stupid boy!

yep, manty was first.. but you both won't get it.. I enjoy that piece every day. Whenever the need is high I will let you both know..

now back to topic:

can't believe you let a LIITA go for a car, Jakek!! but guess things were different pre LA..

[wilfsboy]

On the flipside of hlarmys thread..

Whats your art buying regret ??

The JBOY playgirl print. her feet look like trotters.

infact they look like the feet of most pigs in town on a saturday night.

Apart from that its a toss up between nick walker rat thing and the banksy trolleys. over rated.

[thehighlife]

but the trollies got u the eelus? yeah? that would be good, eh?

[bullet]

yup. v.goooood

[swamped]

My Beejoir Blurry Mary was a huge $500 loss, I like it but it is not worth the duratram paper its printed on. Second would be all my Dave Kinsey prints, again I like them but very tough to break even if you ever need to let one go!
No I did not buy them just to make money on down the road, these are just two examples of prints that really dont hold there value at all, but great art pieces all the same to have in the collection......( we all like to break even if need be...)

this probably is not a very good theme for a thread, i thought it would be removed by now.

its basically going to turn into a 'this print is shit' and a 'no its not shit' fight.

I never sold but I do regret not buying the set of Dface pop tarts for 900 from someone right here on this page not so long ago...

[buffin]

Trolleys isn't sh*t

This reminds me; I should really take mine out from underneath the bed and look it once in a while ... or get it re-framed...

[I like pictures]

Stanley donwood fuck it and nothing will ever get better. Both still in their tubes and will never be hung. In fact if anyone wants to trade for something let me know.

[hlarmy]

About four Adam Neate prints, all at around 1.5k each at the height of the market a few years ago, now worth about 500 quid probably...

[adewilliams]

2 cheeseburgers last night when pissed.

[wizzy]

Will tell you when i have sold the bloody thing.

I think you deserve to have it confiscated, send me your details and i'll be around to collect

Fairey War by Numbers Gold - gutted, this sale was a mistake.

Neate's triptych - the longest I ever looked at it was when I met the buyer at the framer and then and there knew I'd fucked up.

76

150

[Coach]

I really regret having an exchange of emails with Charming Baker about a canvass purchase, and getting cold feet, and not buying. Guess the canvass would now cost about 10, maybe 15 times what I would have paid then, and I know I will now never own a CB canvass. Gutted.

[kungfumasterchan]

thanks spenie, it makes sense now

[spenie1975]

150 is still the nicest of the two!

[kungfumasterchan]

yes, i just bought one and it is such a beautiful print, although the colours seemed flatter in real life and not as bright, it comes back from the framers on wednesday so lets see when its behind glass.
thanks again

Freerange, money is the universal measure to which we all relate (well, most of us). You value and sell your art to cover the expenses and maybe make a few monetary units to allow you the ability to create the next batch with a little more freedom than the first, and so on...ad infinatum, or at least you hope, right?

On the flip side, the purchase of art must be considered carefully in relation to everything else life drops on your doorstep. One would be remiss if they bought art merely for the artist or a perceived value at the time. One should also want to look at the piece while it hangs on the wall. The combination of those factors, merged with the same factors of others (at differing ratios), create a mutually (albeit not always consistent) perceived value. Therefore we measure our buy on the common denominator, $£¥€. No fault to anyone on that point.

Our lenders, grocers, merchants and landlords use the same common denominator to value their assets.

Why is it so wrong to consider art an asset or investment. Anyone living on a budget would be a flogging fool not to categorize art with their assets. Not that they would sell. Some fill in museum collections as I hope to do some day. But, I assure you, they know the value of their investment while they enjoy the art on their wall. They also carry insurance to protect that investment. That's the real world.

BTW, I'm liking some of your stuff too. Hope you're able to profit and continue. You may be on to something!

It's a toss-up between this:

I think you've got the wrong end of what coach was saying there Freerange...

I read that as him regretting not buying the canvas as he now will never be able to afford one, as opposed to the view you took which was him thinking his canvas would have jumped in value.
