One Banksy vs Two?, by ecomwizard on Feb 27, 2016 1:53:24 GMT 1, Hey Everyone,
I have finally enough money to get into the Banksy market.
I know I should be buying art I love, but I love them all 
From a pure investment point of view, which could be worth more in 5-10 years?
1. Buy 1 Love Rat or Gangsta Rat Unsigned - Current Market value = ยฃ8K
OR
2. Buy 2 Prints (i.e. Grannies & Morons) - Current Market value = ยฃ4K each
What would you do?

I would have thought you could get one for ยฃ6k and then you only have to save up another ยฃ2k to get yourself a 2nd (future thread : grannies v morons  )

One Banksy vs Two?, by ecomwizard on Feb 27, 2016 2:05:53 GMT 1, Hey 11, long time!
Yes, from what I have seen all Banksy prints have doubled in the last year! Crazyness!! I need to get in now or never!! Morons is like ยฃ4, Flags is like ยฃ2.5 and all rats are around ยฃ8!!
I'd be totally down for your plan if I could find the right seller
Thanks so much for your thoughts!

Odds are they will continue to out pace your other alternatives and on the other side much easier to liquidate should you want to roll into something else or just cash out. Congrats to your entry into the madness and delight that is the B market. |

One Banksy vs Two?, by Unica on Feb 27, 2016 14:16:20 GMT 1, I would go with an unsigned print of a popular iconic image, Laugh Now, Barcode or a rat. Thats only if you like the image, that way if the market softens you'll have a print you actually like and if the market keeps going from strength to strength and I personally think it will. My view is that the iconic images will be the most sought after and will gain the most in price.
That being said I do like the idea of getting a signed print, as I think ultimately people want a signed print if possible. But as we all know signed prints of the most popular images are substantially more that their unsigned counterparts.
I just don't think you will be happy with two lower end prints and I think you'll have a harder time if you ever have to sell. Just my thoughts.
