I know that's just one example but no I wouldn't say your've missed the 'bandwagon' you're just getting on it a bit after others.
Like its been said though, get it if you like it and don't worry about bandwagons.

Am, by Deleted on Jun 22, 2013 22:52:02 GMT 1, Yep good post.
I said this last week and some **** on the forum had a go at me for saying it but it's true.
At the end of the day you're the one who'll have to look at it so if you like it then buy it. I've just paid ยฃ56 for a reproduction wcp Banksy. I know it's not a real Banksy and I won't pretend to anybody that it's a real one. I bought it because I like the picture and I'll enjoy seeing it on my wall.
It's that simple : )

Am, by sfinks on Jun 22, 2013 23:20:46 GMT 1, I get what ppl are saying. But itโs hard to believe that everyone actually act after that principle. A better way to pit it is, buy art you like AND that has a good potential in value increasment
I would feel better with a picture on my wall, that I know had gone up 10 times in price. Rather then it went down 50% in value. Even if it was meant for my wall forever. Sometimes one change taste in art, or just want to replace. In those cases an increase is way better than a decrease in value

In those cases an increase is way better than a decrease in value I only ever buy what appeals to me. My track record speaks for itself. When I have sold a piece either to buy something else or because I'm a bit short, it's usually been below cost. There have been a few notable exceptions, but that has been luck, rather than design. I don't think I have ever bought a piece because I think it will increase in value. If I had, I would have to be very disappointed with my choices, whereas I am very happy with my collection.

Sarcasm....the lowest form of wit!
I hope it wasn't sarcasm as what would be the point of starting a thread just to have a pop at people? Seems a bit pointless to me.

Am, by gravity1 on Jun 23, 2013 7:06:18 GMT 1, From what I have seen, IMO this forum in general buys and sells at bellow average market prices seen elsewhere (ebay, galleries ect). Not many other places can one find in demand art for cost or bellow. I myself have found this forum to be an invaluable tool in building my collection, not to mention meeting some great people in the process.
I'm sure that opening question was being sarcastic Bang on. I wouldnt cross the street to get those artists work for free, never mind the eye gouging prices. This forum has a great reputation for buying hyped up artists for top dollar and selling when the bottom drops out of its market. But if you are buying 'because you like it', more power to you! Carry on!

because people need to be reminded that the art (although I'm not sure Dolk qualifies) shouldn't be about money and band wagon jumping?

Why do people need to be reminded of this? I'm sure people know this fact already.
If its just a joke then fair enough but if not it seems a bit self righteous to feel you have to point this out to people.
I suppose the problem sometimes over joking on a forum instead of face to face is that people can't always tell if it was clearly meant to be tongue in cheek or not.

Though considering buying a Charming Baker 'Half Pint' for nearly ยฃ5K (Because I like it) is causing me having sleepness nights considering one of his prints sold on ebay for ยฃ25!!!! ยฃ26.52. Blimey! Not the best image, but still quite cheap.
I like how the listing said:
"Similar charming baker prints have sold for between ยฃ500 - ยฃ1000 so this is a real bargain, the price on this is only going to go up."
