Your biggest regret buying/selling art, by Forbidden Love on Mar 10, 2012 1:43:35 GMT 1, not finding about prints or where to buy banksys work when i was following him from around 04.
not buying bme, laugh now for 800 when they were offered only few years ago, and a colour trollies for 1k. not buying a soup can (four cans) for 4k. didnt have the money anyway but was a deal. can think of many more buys which i missed out on.
selling my empire state, signed cnd.
but then the positive things make up for it, everyone will have regrets, and there are very bad ones id imagine like selling or not buying banksy og's for peanuts.

this is the key to it all. Although I have a sales thread I really couldn't dare part with the rest of my collection, so I give it all to the kids now, so Its not mine to sell. all the stuff on the walls that is. plenty stacked up, needing new homes.
I love my kids art collection.

Your biggest regret buying/selling art, by speebe on Mar 10, 2012 11:19:26 GMT 1, Not a regret re-buying but...
After emailing Mr B via the old cashformonkeys site about buying affordable Banksy work in 1999... I got an invite to his first London show...
My regret is deciding not to attend the show on the walls/tunnel on Rivington Street in 2000 after waiting for updates on the day of show, then it was announced at the last minute and I thought it'd be too much hassle getting there.
What I missed.
And although I can't be sure if I would have bought something even if I had gone... I missed out on being able to buy the affordable piece I'd asked about.
