I'm out. I can't do it anymore., by Deleted on Aug 15, 2014 17:13:55 GMT 1, what I don't understand is people who own Banksy's, only to keep them sitting in a portfolio. If you're lucky enough to own one, either display it and enjoy the s**t out of it, or sell it to someone who will it shouldn't be about their value. if you like it, hang it up. don't keep it just because your hoping it will keep increasing in value. there are plenty of people that would love to stare at it all day Everyone, it's real simple: burn your flatfile.

I'm out. I can't do it anymore., by met on Aug 15, 2014 17:26:45 GMT 1, For dealers who value not just the bottom line but also artistic integrity, encountering this kind of mindset among any of their artists must leave them highly conflicted. "Great! It was a popular image in the gallery. I can easily find buyers for these ten, additional, identical works you've made, each marked '1/1'.[You shameless whore, you'd probably sell your own grandmother.]"I know many artists who would do that, I didn't say I would sell them. I hope the whore comment wasn't directed at me. I don't get conflicted much, if I don't agree with it I don't do it.
The whole quote is of course a fictitious one, overstated for comic effect.
I trust my use of the quotation marks is clear, showing it's a single imagined comment by a gallerist to one of their artists. For the avoidance of doubt, the difference in font size is intended to indicate the comment by the gallerist is partly expressed aloud and partly muttered under their breath.

I'm out. I can't do it anymore., by Deleted on Aug 15, 2014 17:28:15 GMT 1, I haven't read this thread apart from the original post. I wouldn't pay secondary market prices for a Banksy print that I can probably get from WCP for ยฃ60. Whilst nothing is being done to stop the sale of these fakes by Banksy and his team (that I can see) I am happy to have the image on my wall.
As long as you can afford what you are buying then go for whatever you want. I can understand people paying loads for an original, but for a print (not for me).

I'm out. I can't do it anymore., by Gentle Mental on Aug 15, 2014 17:46:13 GMT 1, i'm kinda out too... only popping in to pick up a POW archived pieces at pre-hype prices...
the "new" wave is just too familiar. can't get excited.
the old wave has ran very thin on ideas or priced themselves way out of my range.
the scene's getting old but i think i'm getting older.
nowadays i just pop by galleries to window shop.
not buying, but still looking at price tags (a habit hard to break).

I'm out. I can't do it anymore., by andyroo0312 on Aug 15, 2014 18:46:04 GMT 1, I'm out. I can't do it anymore. I am lucky enough to own a Banksy print that I honestly love. I got it years ago when the prices were reasonable (compared to now). Recently I thought, you know what, it would be cool to have another on the wall so I started the search. My initial finds were a bit of a shock but I persevered and continued on. I was offered one or two prints for a decent price and almost pulled the trigger but they weren't a print that I really loved and figured I was only buying it because of the value and I would have been getting a good deal. I am (more than) lucky to have secured a piece of art that I love years ago and I am thankful every day that I look at it. I feel sorry for people coming to the party this late in the game. My decision - buy a few pieces from other artists I like and go on another overseas holiday. Life is for getting out there and experiencing things. When the cost of an unsigned print is the same as a holiday and some other art, it's really hard to justify buying a piece of paper with a pretty picture on it that doesn't even have a scribbled pencil signature on it. Mind you, if a print that I really like comes across my path for a good price, of course I will pick it up, but those chances are slim to none, and I am fine with that. I am the first to admit, this is easier for me as I already own a piece. And as a side note, what have I discovered in this recent search: 1) Everyone thinks they have a "mint" print, even when its been handled and framed 2) Private prices are the pretty much the same as Gallery prices these days 3) Judging by the want-ads, peolpe don't seem to care what banksy they have as long as it is a banksy May I inquire to which Banksy print you already have? I do believe young Astroboy owns a signed Monkey Queen and like Astro i will not be buying any more Banksys mainly due to no more wall space I just received a sales catalogue from Hang Up Gallery i know Banksys have increased but ยฃ3550 for a u/s TM or ยฃ4700 for a u/s QV is madness not to mention the signed CND for a poultry sum of ยฃ8395 put those 3 amounts together and that would be close to a annual wage in the northern parts of England ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png)

I'm out. I can't do it anymore., by Deleted on Aug 15, 2014 22:08:49 GMT 1, I cannot/ refuse to pay the ยฃยฃ for a Bnasky now, but still want to fill the house with art. There is plenty of good stuff around at cost - at the start of the year I got a beautiful hand pulled Deller silky from the Glasgow Festival for ยฃ400 - a decent print and a worthwhile cause. that would have got me 1/20th of a mid range signed banksy - I know what I would sooner have on the wall - dont get dragged into the hype, leave it to the wankers to blow their QE funded wedge on s**tty Bankshy prints with a squiggle in the corner* ![](http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/10/25/1382704868728/Jeremy-Deller-print-009.jpg) * likely not his either. alledgedly A testosterone fuelled b**chy rant, why don't you just sell me all your s**tty signed Banksys including that J&J signed you mentioned earlier, I cant think for a second why you'd want to keep them considering your standpoint, had a bad day or something? ha! too much GTA 5 and lusting after the dodge charger posted earlier may have produced this wank

Bollocks. I want it on MY wall
