t minus 30 mins and counting..., by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 28, 2007 19:40:18 GMT 1, I LOVE Faile - but really can't justify spending more than about ยฃ200 on a print, I thought the POW recent ones were overpriced... Anyone feel the same?
this is a tricky one cos they are small editions and all varied..so each is a semi-original
agreed that they are pricey. couldnt bring myself to pay more than 380 for a ganesha..
..if I did get it that is

that is a gem..

Banksy provenance, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 26, 2007 23:41:51 GMT 1, Let's just agree that I see something cool about owning that stencil, outside of it's artistic value, that you don't. There is no real point to this because it just comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.
fair enough..I take the points you make, it really is up to personal preference..
we shall agree to disagree on this one!

Banksy provenance, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 26, 2007 23:00:02 GMT 1, I guess basically what it comes down to is for me, there always needs to be an attachment to a piece of work..
If I personally was a multimillionaire then regardless of who made it I wouldn't buy it, for any price because I don't like it or think it is particularly good..nothing to do with 'investment' or whatever
..I just struggle to see why, if you could afford it, you would buy it and stick it in a cupboard simply because it may be by banksy? if you like it- great get it. but to buy something you don't think is brilliant for a substantial amount of money because of who made it smacks of investment talk more than anything I have said..

Banksy provenance, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 26, 2007 22:13:44 GMT 1, if I was a multimillionaire then I doubt would get rich buying things 'for the sake of it' I would spend 40k and get a decent GWB double canvas or something which actually had some aesthetic appeal.. multimillionaires dont need to get rich, they all ready are!!!
..that is what I was saying. you don't get rich by chucking large sums of money at average to poor stencil pieces 'for the sake of it'

Banksy provenance, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 26, 2007 21:56:14 GMT 1, It would depend on my situation - If I could just about afford 20K with loans and credit cards then I wouldn't. If i was a multi millionaire, then I would probably would, just for the sake of having it. Maybe we should be discussing the lower end of that quote, i.e 5-8k and not 20k.. the lurkers might be getting ideas
also true..every ebay stencil will start coming with 'a letter from harvey' otherwise..
anyway, doubtful this would reach that sort of figure IMO more like the 5-8k Nuart mentioned.
still, highly unlikely this will get prov, 'banksys mate' or not..
again, it would be interesting to know what this set you back
..cos if the price for you was 'too good to be true' then it probably is 'too good to be true' full stop

Banksy provenance, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 26, 2007 20:35:45 GMT 1, I don't think it's s**t. There's a strong possibility that it's an original banksy. If I were to buy something like that, it wouldn't be for the artistic value, it would be for the magic of having a banksy stencil on my wall. Personally, I would love it. People don't buy bits of Wembely grass beause it looks nice, it's because of what it represents.
if you were going to spunk 20k on an 'original' I would be after a better piece than this..
..please dont tell me you would buy this old telly because 'banksy stencilled it'
cos if he did he did a sh!t job

Banksy provenance, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 26, 2007 20:27:42 GMT 1, Dont you think its a good image?
in a word.. no
nuart makes a fair point that with laz prov a gallery could get some gullible banker to part with a large sum for it.. but it would be a case of a fool and his money being easily parted..
a case of "take a loook at mah baanksy, yah"

..for a 'fair' market price? Im guessing that this bloke being banksys mate would know his stuff is worth a fair bit..
Im curious if there are still 'originals' out there still changing hands cheaply
..as all that crop up on ebay are laughed out of town pretty quick

..fail to see how this is any different to the various stencils that pop up regularly on ebay
if you like it, great, have it on your wall but 8 to 20k for a not brilliant stencil with no prov? come on..

Why is this so cheap?, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 22, 2007 16:27:17 GMT 1, TFL, If you want to break it down like that you could say a Banksy print is just ink on paper. I think the interactivity factor alone is worth the price.
a banksy print is ink on paper..also a picasso is oil on canvas. a neate is paint on cardboard. an emin is an unmade bed..
..if you don't mind paying 200 quid to 'interact' with a metal pipe then go for it..
but it seems a little steep for something with zero aesthetic value to it

Do I have terrible taste?, by iwouldfollow youanywhere on Aug 17, 2007 0:38:29 GMT 1, yeah you're right its 350 isnt it..I think these probably sell quite slowly purely because there is no profit in them for ebay 'dealers' so they tend to leave them..
which is good for collectors..also matt small isn't as well 'known' to many people. logan hicks is another example
long term your saul or ahmed should appreciate or hold its value and give you a lot of pleasure. in the short to medium term they wont do a lot as they will take a while to sell out and a couple have sold on ebay slightly less than cost I believe
