If you had a Banksy original to sell, would you..., by nacional on Dec 21, 2014 20:26:49 GMT 1, ....put it with a gallery (if so...which one)...an auction site (which one)...or go for a private sale??
I am looking to max my return...know the %'s that the first 2 options carry...just looking for some pragmatic advice..
And just so ya know..it's my Paranoid Pics that I floated out a while ago but got cold feet about..
Anyone an idea re price...95k sterling??

Negotiable percentages are usually an option when putting a high interest item in their auction. Wouls avoid auction sites like the plague for something like an original, as for a gallery... Would have to be a good one. Thought about approaching laz? See what they can do? Might be on comission, but folk have been known to pay a premium to buy from a recognised source. |

on the other hand ... i'd suggest the temporary madness which visits you on occasion ( shall i / shall i not..) to be indicative of .... something akin to acute seasonitis .. it'll pass and you'll be right as rain .. after christmas.
no doubt you've had a few emails by now...(making you think you're ok ... spondoolics.. in the air... perhaps ) ..but i'll remind you.. via this thread.. that .. your madness will pass.... (we hope..  )
stay cool.

As Anyone that owns an original would say hold on unless you really need to sell. 2015 think will be a big year for him but In order would be below.
Private sale.
Gallery.
Auction house.

or simply invite offers over and above 100k GBP, name the price!.
A nice dilemma to be in though.

The galleries no doubt will agree for less, especially if it's shown there as it's a draw for customers. And as mouser said buying from a reputable gallery may lead to an elevated price.

decent name galleries like Laz / andipida, Castle etc will give you a feel. Auction Houses Bonhams or Christies.
After all that you can then also look at the private sale option with a better idea of what to ask for. if you want to go that route.

If you had a Banksy original to sell, would you..., by Hubble Bubble on Dec 22, 2014 11:29:43 GMT 1, If I could realise ยฃ100k for something I paid ยฃ150 for then I'd sell it.
No brainer.
I would sell it privately through a contact or contacts that I trusted to max my return without paying stupid commissions.
Good luck with your decision nacional - 'Paranoid' is one of my favourite Banksys

I would contact some friendly galleries to do the sale (or even sell it to a gallery).

Curious to know why you think 2015 would be a big year for an artist who's not released anything for 4 years. I think you're probably right as demand >> Supply but if you could add any more...

As far as how to go about it, it's been a while since I've sold anything for ยฃ100k+. And that involved a mortgage. So I'd go with whatever someone else said.

If you had a Banksy original to sell, would you..., by Deleted on Dec 22, 2014 17:17:47 GMT 1, If I came across one in a car flea market jumble sale by accident and it was a print which was authenticated.
I would sell it if it was authenticated.
If it wasn't authenticated I would just forget I had it.
If it was an original sprayed on an old bit of plywood or car door etc or cow.
I would wait for the cow to die then taxidermy it with the art on the cow and offer it to Bank Bobber or that Twizzler bloke in Miami, with dried cow pancakes as proof of authneticity cos one would have Banksy's footprint in it at least.
For the original on plywood or car door, I would offer them also to Bankbobber and Twissler and if they refused or offered to sell them on sale or return. I would be very disdainful towards them both.

Regardless I'd love to see pics of it (and any other Banksy originals that forum members have!)
Good luck nacional!

If you had a Banksy original to sell, would you..., by aa on Dec 28, 2014 13:12:05 GMT 1, To flip it around, how would you BUY a ยฃ100k piece?
Would you really trust a private sale, unless it was from a known associate? I'm not sure I would.
Regarding gallery vs auction, it'd depend how badly I needed the money. A gallery will agree a set price, but with an auction who knows what it could achieve? If you can afford to gamble, you could get a bit more. If you can't then I'd say it has to be the gallery,
Whatever option you take, you should end up a winner!

If you two can negotiate a decent percentage and you're happy with the estimate then ship it over for the viewing and auction. Obviously you can counter with Christies and Sotheby's as well if you'd like.
