Bonhams • Art Auctions • London 🇬🇧, by laughn0w on Apr 28, 2021 16:28:22 GMT 1, Very poor results. Some of the condition reports were awful with the likes of trimmed paper and most didn't have COA in hand. But still.
Edit - Ive always thought Bonhams was a better place to buy than sell. So no panic here. Good job to the buyers picking up bargains.

Dreadful results. I will probably panic and sell now. I've lost enough fucking money through Stowe and Tempus, already.

A big catalog, but the same auction house and auction category / catalog to when Bonhams sold multiple Banksys prints at all time highs 1-2 months ago...

They seem to have lost their way selling poor quality prints and ambiguous condition reports in dull and confused catalogues. They've always been somewhere to buy and never to sell at!
It's not a panic moment but a changing of the ownership profile that is exacerbated by over supply!

This was said 10 years ago and look at unsigned print values now.
Truth is, no one knows how the market will turn out and especially with the pandemic looking likely for another two years what type effect it will have on all global markets, risky if buying now? Who knows?

they're crap and now their values are falling people will start using their eyes and not their ears to buy. There are also literally 1000s of them, if you scratch away the venner of scarcity with collectibles and fine art like what has happened in recent months the item will stuggle to recover it's desirability and value.

A small, temporary correction perhaps, but the thought that B prices are going to fall off a cliff is stupid. Ain’t happening. People with pockets deeper than ours who have dropped multi millions into his work won’t allow it. Twenty years from now, half a million for one of his desirable prints will be a bargain. Too big to fail. Hold onto your prints.

30 odd % = small? The serious who dropped hundreds of thousands bought the canvases, which Will hold, they don't give a shit about unsigned memorabilia being bought by gamblers.

Again, this has all been said for years. ‘Unsigned prints will be worthless’, ‘it’s a bubble’, ‘what if Banksy is Neil Buchanan’.
If you’ve bought a print as an investment, long term i believe it will prove to be a decent decision - each auction result just becomes noise. it’s the long term trends that are important.
If you’ve bought prints to enjoy daily then you’re already winning.

He means unsigned prints.
Let’s face it , if you spent £40k on an unsigned toxic Mary / napalm , you can probably halve that. Will it get back to £40k, probably but we are talking years.

Got it. Official prints are hardly memorabilia, signed or not. Imho the B investment game is a marathon, not a sprint. An auction, or several, with bad results, isn’t indicative of the long term ROI imho.
