Has this place changed? , by Fะฏ on Oct 30, 2015 20:18:35 GMT 1, It was more an example of no one spending ยฃ12,000 on a piece of paper to expect it to not be worth something in the future. If thats the case why make sure its conservation framed and with coa. Pin it up. You get it conservation framed because you've just spent ยฃ12,000 on it (and the coa authenticates it as what you bought), whether you think a it'll be worth more or less than ยฃ12,000 in the future doesn't make any difference. Why damage it with drawing pins, sun damage and not authenticating, when you can do something to keep it in the condition you bought it? That's what most people do with anything they buy, whether it's expensive or not. You know if you buy a new car for ยฃ12,000 it'll have lost about 40% of it's value in a year, so does that mean because you know it's going down in value you park it in the closets ditch to your house and scratch it with your keys? No, value has nothing to do with it, it your property and you look after it whatever the value. Great in theory but im just being honest, im pretty certain those people are in the minority. art is a investment item, lets not pretend it is not. Its an idealists view, not a realists. we are lucky to have a hobby where by it does actually retain its value or rises.
Unless you invested heavily into zbiok and rementer, you will probably be ok and you know it in the back of your mind.
You also know that if you suddenly had a big 'gas bill' or 'tax bill' (insert excuse here) then you can sell to pay for it, you would not have a 12k banksy on the wall and then say bollocks, im going to go and get a payday loan to pay for my 'gas bill' (cocaine addiction).
in the real world ยฃ12k for a print is laugable, the people buying these...like many here including myself are classed as speculators. Its just a bonus that it becomes a hobby. People who can actually afford to buy a banksy and spit on it are those on the vip list.
if artwork is also loved to hang, why do so many people on here have portfolios? theres only so many years you can leave something in their portfolio 'to flatten' before framing. dont think your fooling anyone pretending to not care about the money tied up in things (when i say you, i dont mean you particularly AP). Ive seen so called 'lovers of banksy' and 'collectors' turn to warewolves infront of me when they cannot get what they want. Why do you think that is? Why not go print one out at home if you love the image so much.
i rest my case, pass me the jack daniels and a gas bill.

Has this place changed? , by Agent Provocateur on Oct 30, 2015 20:49:15 GMT 1, Fair play FR, I stand by what I said answering your post, but agree on the idealistic (me) and realistic (you) argument.
I think the most telling point about the love and collecting of art you made is the portfolio comment. No clever answer to that, damn!
On another point, yep, did regret that post last night. Wanted to delete it as couldn't be arsed writing the sequel, but decided I might as well finish the monologue (soon)...

Well, that's a bit silly. IMO, the reason people have portfolios is because the urban art market is such that people no longer have time to consider whether or not they actually want to buy and own a print. As many on here can attest, you didn't always have to have "fast fingers" to secure an awesome print. These days, it's buy then decide.
And also, not everyone has the money to frame things immediately. But if a print is going to cost 1kGBP more the minute it sells out, better to buy and wait then pay twice the price a few weeks later.

Buy...Put it in portfolio... price check...realise you can sell it for that extra 1K... flip... repeat until you can get a Pose commission

Your second paragraph in your original comment says it all really.
waiting if its popular is the same thing as waiting for it to go up in price. you then sell if its not going for twice the price. Its called speculating. Think we have another idealist. no such thing as a secret image print drop, not for a long time anyway, you know what your buying.
im not saying everything gets sold, we all keep stuff for a long time or forever but not everything.

I find it's at least 50% less here. I think with a good DHL discount for the return, it would probably save a good chunk framing is the US if done all at once.

I asked the same a few weeks ago. Haven't heard from him for ages. Do hope he's ok.

Anybody know if he is ok?

Just a thought I get here on a windy, hangover Barcelona trip.

I understand what you are saying but if somebody had to wait more than a couple of weeks to flip something they would have to sell it below cost, then we would end up with people complaining that they had to wait, that then would in turn turn into an official flippers drop with people f5ing the for sale section and eBay for the flipped pieces, it would encourage non flippers to become flippers and eventually galleries and auction houses.........
Pinch of cornish sea salt.

I wasn't active with the Banksy Dismal Threads. Didnt like the conspiracy gossip by some people which you probably can't trust anyway. Also, I tend to be active on this forum and the NBF forum, and I simply do not have the time for that. That decided me to be less active with both forums. I just hope the talks about shows, art and also the less well known artist discussion will be back soon.
You may like or dislike my opinion, but it is just the way it is for me now. A lot of non-personal topics about value and sales in my opinion.
