Price impact of small creases, by baronschwarz on Jul 8, 2007 11:40:40 GMT 1, So I've been thinking hard about this and, reluctantly, circumstances are pushing me hard towards selling one of my prints. I have an unsigned Happy Choppers with a couple of tiny creases in the paper - creases it had when I originally bought it and were almost certainly done during the printing process. When I bought it I thought they added to the print's character, but now I'm wondering if this kind of thing can devalue a print. If so I may have to sell my Vic instead, but since the Choppers is rarer & I'm skint I'm thinking Choppers 
Any thoughts (apart from insults!) ?

How big?, where? etc.

In 20 years tiny creases won't be a huge problem but right now they'll knock around 20-30% of the price off, I would imagine, depending on how serious they are. Keep the choppers on the wall and enjoy it and hand it down to the nicest grand kid is my vote, he/she won't mind a few creases, no doubt they'll be very, very pleased. The other gandchildren can just wished they were a bit damn nicer to an old man.

Are you looking to sell it on here to someone or ebay??
PM me if you'd rather.

Any one with other opinions?

PERSONALLY IF ITS ON THE IMAGE AND VERY NOTICABLE I MIGHT THINK TWICE, BUT IN THE CORNER, I WOULDNT CARE ONE JOT
