What do you regret buying the most ??, by swamped on Sept 9, 2010 2:36:47 GMT 1, 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...)

What do you regret buying the most ??, by bullet on Sept 9, 2010 2:39:22 GMT 1, 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.

What do you regret buying the most ??, by jakek on Sept 10, 2010 8:34:05 GMT 1, There are a few things i've bought when caught up in the hype.
I've recently sold my sey of d*face decks - they're not bad pieces but having got them i realised i'd never hang them.
Also I had bought a print from a now established artist and it never turned up, eventually he agreed to send another one but by the time it arrived i was so frustrated with the whole process i didn't enjoy looking at it so it was another one that went.
I've even regretted buying pieces by my favourite artists too - a couple of pieces i bought because i thought prices were rising so fast if i didn't get a piece then and there then they would rise beyong my reach. They have risen but i wish i'd have saved and got a more expensive piece that i love rather than the first i could get my hands on.

What do you regret buying the most ??, by elwheel on Sept 10, 2010 11:25:53 GMT 1, Lots of prints in my portfolio were bought just because of the addiction. Its an addiction to smart images, lovely paper, the smell of ink and paint, but mainly its impulsive. Everything now has to be a committee decision and there are not enough walls to hang them, not enough frames that suit the print and decor, not enough money to buy the frames, too much money spent on impulse etc...etc... I don't regret buying anything really but do regret that I didn't think long enough about whether I would be able to or want to display them. My name is Shane, and I'm a print perv.

What do you regret buying the most ??, by Deleted on Sept 10, 2010 21:11:35 GMT 1, I recall a few years ago I pitched up at TLSG after a 4 hour lunch very, very drunk.
I bought an Arofish Eject and Survive after a couple of more beers, brought it home and the Wife freaked. A few years on, I sold it for a tenner. I don't regret the money spend or lost, I regret the humiliation every time the wife tells the story.
In retrospect, I should've spent the cash on Jenny Thompson, before Wayne got to her.....

Similar story here. Went through a phase of buying all the images I loved and then realised I had nowhere to put most of them. Then bought a portfolio and things continued until it was full! Now I've sold some pieces off and the ones I'm left with that are not on the wall, while being lovely pieces of art imo, I suppose I should regret having bought. I should, but I don't think I do. I think I should though and that's about as far as I've got at beating the denial of ever having been compulsive about it all.

What do you regret buying the most ??, by curiousgeorge on Sept 14, 2010 19:09:15 GMT 1, Had a good friend and forum member stay over night, got to showing him stuff in my plan chest. One thing in particular had us both nearly wetting ourselves with laughter.Perhaps not so much about the images but my last comment
I present you with the evidence........
My final comment as said forum member was howling with laughter, "Oh if you think that is funny i bought multiples of them too!"
Real regret was buying a Judgement Day from a forum member/gallery for around todays prices because it was damaged from being stored with a water colour. Turns out it wasn't water colour damage at all but his kids playing with felt tip pens, easy fuggin mistake to make if you are dishonest i guess!!
