An arty joke, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 21, 2011 21:01:19 GMT 1, Was sent this one a while ago :
An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time.
"I have good news and bad news," the owner replied. "The good news is that a gentleman enquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings."
"That's wonderful," the artist exclaimed. "What's the bad news?" "The guy was your doctor..."

Last try : Nick Walker OG Best offer by Friday, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 21, 2011 18:10:23 GMT 1, Got offered a bit more than £1.5K for it via ebay and considering taking the offer (well under what I paid).
If anyone is interesting can match or top the offer I got it's yours. So offers over £1.5K (I paid on the verge on £2.3K a year ago). Might accept a reasonable trade though.
Original Walker from 2005 on Canvas (102 x 80 cm)

Flipping Art • The Debate, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 21, 2011 8:45:34 GMT 1, It has nothing to do with what you call textbook flipping, you're omitting that the market can go both ways over 6 months or 1 year...
Usually with flipping it rarely go both ways (rarely not never).
It just doesn't make any sense to compare. I'll compare it again with financial markets. Art is the closest thing (with real estate) that is close to how works a financial market.
Basically, for you daytrading is the same thing than a 6/12 month "investment" in a company. Implications aren't the same.
Daytrading = flipping = you just want to make a buck/you don't care about the art or the artist/you create an instant artificial bubble
6/12 months investment = you still wanted the art at some point/you believe in the artist & his potential/you take a risk higher than flipping (market can go sideways after a year.
You also omit that buying art is an addiction that is quite expensive. People are constantly buying more stuff & while their collection develop they just want bigger pieces (not everyone has unlimited budget or space).

Flipping Art • The Debate, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 20, 2011 20:46:08 GMT 1, I've started to accept flipping & flippers. It's part of the game. If there wouldn't be any money involved there wouldn't be any flippers.
You also have to accept that Art & Money is not dissociable today (or for most people). When you start paying consistently at least £300 or £400 per print, you have to think that what you have is worth something (or would still be worth something someday). Unless you're multi millionaire & that kind of money doesn't represent anything for you. I don't say that it's all about the money because it's not but if you would really like an Image you could have it print it yourself or buy a poster not the real thing.
After, flippers thinks that whatever they buy there will be someone who is ready to overpay straight away (which doesn't always makes sense but whatever). I'm not sure in the end that even artists raise the release price it will still kill people from buying. As the idea behind flipping is that you can sell it higher straight away (ok if the prices are unrealistic nobody will buy). It will be interesting to see the elasticity of price for Banksy prints. Could be quite interesting?
I get the idea why people hate flippers. They think that it deprive them to acquire at a price they were ready to spend for something they wanted. The often don't want to pay the same item at premium straight away.
I think the difference between hold/sell & straight sell is the idea behind it. When you hold/sell, it still means that you liked what you buy & you think that it will sell for more at a later date (which basically means that you believe in the artist). When you flip, you doesn't care about who the artist is, the only thing that push you to buy is instant profit. The content of what you buy doesn't matter really matter to you.
It's a bit the same with basic investment theories. What's the difference between short term speculation & long term investment as both involves the idea of making money.
After I have another opinion about flipping. I guess that it's not beneficial for the artist. It just push people to short term speculation. Basically, you don't care what the artist will become. Your interest is only in the moment which by extent means that you don't have any respect for the artist. It really joins what short term speculation involves for a company. Creating a bubble never really helps.

Kaws • Sponge Bob KawsBob Set, Yellow, Black, Red, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 20, 2011 20:17:45 GMT 1, Good luck mate but it doesn't look good for you....
What I don't get is the price you want? There are at least 4 on the bay for $1,899 or less buy it now.
I guess that if you want what that brings net you should ask for $1,650 -by taking away the ebay fees (buy it now which are 10%) and the paypal fees since I think you want that amount net.
Otherwise, I don't really care about the flipping.. But you should re-work the price.

Charlie Anderson - Faile Fraud, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 19, 2011 19:47:48 GMT 1, Agree with Wiz here... [not that I want to buy his stuff]
It's funny when they are double standards for artists....
An english artist that most of you cherish is the king of rip offs. Doesn't stop everyone to have him on their wanted list....
Who said that art has to be original? lol [at least he's not signing Faile/Bast/D*face]

Banksy Welcome To Hell Print, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 19, 2011 15:33:55 GMT 1, Current Market Value for an Insurance is always tricky. That's why people that starts to have a relevant collection have it appraised or have an inventory through an auction house done.
Then they have written proof by an expert that appraised the work (usually replacement value should be over market value, considering that they may not be on the market anything to replace or it would cost more than market value if you want to replace it now).
Problem is who & how they calculate the current market value? Insurance companies are not really known to pay everything right when trouble comes.....

Banksy Welcome To Hell Print, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 18, 2011 22:42:31 GMT 1, Have an inventory check by an auction house (saying that you would like to maybe to sell). You'll get estimates usually enough for insurance company.
You can as well get an appraiser to write you down a certificate but they take serious cash for that (between 5/10% of the overall value).
