Good investment?, by smokey on Nov 22, 2014 15:00:43 GMT 1, Not at all Json. I just don't agree with encouraging people to come on here looking for advice in how to screw art fans out of pieces that they've been longing for to hang on a wall while so they can come along and push up prices and brag about owning Banksy pieces at the golf club as part of their retirement fund. FTW. Go and by a Monet or wine or shares in GSK or whatever the hell it is you idiots do. Just leave us to our thing you parasites.. Just to clarify I am in no way looking to flip anything. If that was the case I'd have tried my luck @ getting the Chevrier small prints & had them on eBay attempting to get $500 per print. Everything I've bought, unless it came from the artist, was on the 2nd hand market. And I'm not looking to make her money in a month by turning it over. I've been on here long enough to A. Know that it's full of art lovers and B. That from time to time these same art lovers sell for various reasons, ie wall space, new purchase, new home, etc. That input on what you guys thought will hold it's value or even increas in a year or two was what i was asking. My personal next two purchases have been decided. One from the artist(Mobstr) & the other on the cheap on the 2nd hand market. More than likely from this forum. Neither will make me rich but like other things I've collected for pure enjoyment will be left to the Mrs to do as she pleases. Anyone know a forum ffor autographed baseball cards btw? Ha. And one of my future purchases after the holidays will hopefully be a 3D, which I know isn't at all hot but I appreciate his work. So to clear things up I'm in no way trying to take anything from anyone. And for the record I drink rum & have no patience for golf.

Good investment?, by smokey on Nov 22, 2014 12:21:07 GMT 1, Hi smokey, fair question! But please; Don't invest in art mate. Buy art because you love it. When you love it, surely a lot more people will love it and if you are 'lucky' it will rise in value so you can sell it in the future for the same amount you bought it for or even with a 'profit'. So you can trade up in piece or be able to buy a bigger piece. But most likely you will never sell the piece as you loved it in the first place and have grown custom to it and really don't want to sell it because you would never be able to buy it back again for the initial price you bought it for. Sometimes it is even worth less than the original price, but still you would never sell it because you simply love it to much. If you truly want to invest in art and hope to make a large profit: Buy something most other people 'like' a lot. Buy at source and stick it in a folio (because you hate it and don't want to 'damage' it or spend the money on a good frame with decent glass). Then go online and tell everybody how much you love it and hype the price. Preferably do this with all others who bought it. Talk about how beautiful the piece is. Continue this for a week or so, price will therefor skyrocket after launch. Sell quick because people will notice that the piece is crap and the secondary market will be flooded with the piece within months of release for original price or even below cost. So there you have it, my 2ยข and 2 options. If i were you i would go for the first option. As you wrote in your original post. You have had luck during your record collecting days. Did you only buy to make a great purchase for the future or did you mainly bought records because you loved having? Good luck mate! thanks Json for understanding this was simply a thread asking for advice on investing which is new to me. For those that it upset I do apologize. Hey it beats me just asking out of curiosity the average age of most people on here. Yes mother in law is a lover of the arts but is mainly(I assume from her use of the word invest) looking to make money. I had some artists in mind to show her their work in the hopes she might actually enjoy it ad well & that was part of the reason for this thread. Perhaps get some names I'd missed or even a non urban art or two that might be more to her liking. As for my record & music memorabilia collecting, like w/ art, I never bought anything I didn't enjoy. Whether an early Spacemen 3/Spiritualized pc to La Monte Young's rare releases. I liked them. Only when I decided it was difficult to enjoy them once I had my daughter did I decide to let certain ones go. Hard to justify disappearing w/ headphones on when your child wants to play. I had a feeling there'd be a negative comment or two hence my initial apology. Nothing may come of it, she may up her initial investment & go for an unsigned, or even better may find something she loves & will display it proudly. Obviously being an art lover(she's a big supporter of the arts here too) I'm hoping for the latter. Been on here several months & even though I've responded to a few, this is my first thread. I appreciate the support & positive advice . Knew some of you from other posts wouldn't mind a simple discussion. And again, for those I've upset, apologies all around.

Good investment?, by smokey on Nov 22, 2014 5:54:04 GMT 1, The kind of input I was hoping for & expecting. The mother in law could easily afford a nice unsigned Banksy w/o breaking the bank. $1000 was what she threw out & unless I can talk her into spending more I was seeing what kind of advice I could get. My wife teaches drama & since moving back to our tiny hometown after the loss of both our dads we've been trying our best to stay involved w/ the arts council & bring more culture into the area.. I've never even thought of "investing" until she threw the word out. If I like & have the money I buy it. Returning to college has meant passing up on a lot but... My taste & collection varies from original Ausgang to Billy Mode. One of our favorites @ is a really nice piece done by a student @ the school of the arts where the Mrs teaches. Like I said I was hoping to get some good responses & again you guys haven't disappointed. Many thanks & keep them coming. Maybe reading this will get her more keen to research as well.

Good investment?, by smokey on Nov 22, 2014 3:20:23 GMT 1, Invader did cross my mind Jingle. May see if she'll come up on the budget. Kind of become a personal mission for me since like I said I only buy what will grace my wall. I made great profit on the records i sold before getting back into art but even those i bought because i liked the musician/album. And don't want to buy something to flip a week later. I understand it's a controversial topic but it's hard for me to even consider. Would like to find something she could enjoy. That's the problem. And thanks again guys for the input. Been out of the game for years so I take your advice seriously. Learned more since joining this forum than I ever thought I would.

Good investment?, by smokey on Nov 22, 2014 1:21:53 GMT 1, Hi guys. Been here a few months enjoying the art listings & humor(sometimes) that goes along with it. While discussing a recent purchase I'd made my mother in law told my wife & I she wouldn't mind investing in a piece or two. Her husband(my wife's father) passed a couple months ago from a long battle w/ cancer. My question is what would you guys suggest as an artist/specific prints for her to invest? She knows the success(or luck) I had during my record collecting days so she wants me to handle it. I'm excited but I don't buy as an investment. I buy what I like & if it grows in value then good for my wife & daughter. I imagine she'll want to hang on to whatever I decide but she may very well want to sell & reinvest in a year or two. I know a few desirable artists @ the moment but who do you guys see growing for the near future? Chevrier, Faile, D*Face, etc? Only wants to start w/ around $1000 USD so no Banksy.. Thanks for any help and advice. And apogies if subject is taboo & long winded but thought if anyone could help...

SOLD!!!! (officially)!, by smokey on Nov 1, 2014 5:10:38 GMT 1, Highjacking & bad form by Qbertplaya??? How is it bad form for her to simply clarify things & say she had more prints available that SHE produced. She worked hard on a great print and so has every right to mention that. In my opinion the bad form is trying to sell a print on a forum that a fellow member made w/o checking w/ them first. Yes you gave her credit but did you ever think to ask to see if any were still available before "highjacking" possible sales from her? A simple search would've shown old posts/threads on here about the print so ignorance is no excuse. And having dealt w/ her I bet she'd have given her approval to sell it. I was starting to feel bad for all the flack this thread had brought but trashing qbertplaya(a great person to deal w/ as well) is ridiculous.

SOLD!!!! (officially)!, by smokey on Oct 28, 2014 11:52:25 GMT 1, Unofficial didn't show up on my phone either so I believe that's part of the problem. Also not trying to add fuel to the fire but I think your wording is what's causing some to be aggravated. It's not "from Banksy's show" but inspired by his trip to NY. I think had that been said there'd have been no confusion or negative replies. Regardless it's a cool li'l one off piece w/ a nice story. If interested you guys can see if Qbeetplaya has any left(she's on here) or snatch this one up. Looks nice hanging so I'd certainly say it's worth the $25 I spent.

She did a nice job. thanks... but how was it printed onto the card stock? ย screen printed? ย inkjet etc. ย Sorry for not catching your question. Was in the middle of a reaction to some medication causing severe headaches & vomiting. I believe she was selling them for $25 plus shipping from NY if that helps price wise.
