SELL SELL SELL, by jam on Sept 15, 2008 22:52:53 GMT 1, Who's to say there won't be even more people looking at art as an alternative place to put their money seeing how it has beat many index funds in performance over the past 35 years. I'd rather have a nice piece of art on the wall than have the cash under my mattress and I bet it would outpace inflation and I can still insure it. While many believed the Hirst sale would be a flop, I think we are seeing evidence of a conscience shift of funds to art as a 'safe' place to keep money.

SELL SELL SELL, by Billy Sport on Sept 15, 2008 23:11:35 GMT 1, my wife works for them, a colleague just flew out to dubai at the weekend to start a new post, his wife just resigned her job and bam thats it. Not everyone who lost their jobs today were rich douchbags (paraphrased), there's a lot of "little people" in organisations like this and its us/them who take a huge hit. this will ave a massive knock on efect, money lending criteria will tighten, more industries will suffer and the economy will slide closer to a recession.

BEFORE ITS TOO LATE ? SELL SELL SELL, by mcster on Sept 16, 2008 7:23:21 GMT 1, Not been around for a few days and I come back to all of this nervousness ! What I find interesting reading all these threads, is that you can tell what is more important to people about their art, whether the 'investment' is more important than the collection. IMO the prices of most pieces will tumble over the coming year and I welcome it; I've been priced out of lot of stuff I like over the last two or three years and I'm looking forward to possily being able to pick some of them up now. Things have been way too overpriced and a levelling out (and losing a few people that buy for their retirement rather than any real love for the pieces) will be good for a lot of us, although it may not seem so in the short term..

BEFORE ITS TOO LATE ? SELL SELL SELL, by redfred on Sept 16, 2008 10:35:37 GMT 1, The only reliable barometer of print availability I can use for Banksy is e-bay and I have noted a distinct down turn in items for sale, we went through a period where virtually every print he produced was on there but now you are struggling to find coloured trollies or stop and search. Not so long ago half the listings were for these two prints, has the changing hands now eased or is it the calm before the storm, or have sellers realised prices are way too low? Any comments?
