I was under the belief that the Banksy value site hadn’t been updated recently. Don’t worry I have told them not to sell! 

Thanks for the reply if I’m honest I am pretty lazy so was asking for others advice maybe from private sales etc. Thank you for making the effort to put all the information together 🙏🏻

I think that all depends on your personal circumstances and the view you’re taking. If you’re taking a short term view and have somewhere better to put the money or need the money then sure sell probably sooner rather than later. However if you are a collector and taking a 3-5 year view there is definite arguments for not selling into what is clearly a panicked market. 

Drop Sotheby's or Christie's a message, minimum 700k upwards to a couple of mil depending on size. You have a pic ?

Hi, what’s the price on an U/S CND soldiers if I was looking to buy? Thanks.

Me thinks you’re about right? Not that many people reply to these posts anymore it seems? Great print, try and keep it. 

About 28k. Words words words words words words words sords

How much do you recon the Fr(Agile) prints will sell for? Limited to 50 and signed, raffle over a million people entered. Do you think people will sell now or when they get the PEST coa in two years?

If you don't care about the value, keep hold of it. Because eventually the works will be worth peanuts ... Especially when the whole truth comes out 😉

Just an interesting insight and although I’m not a massive fan of crystal ball gazing it does feel that the Banksy market is stabilising. Auction results are still very hit and miss with alot of lots failing to sell or falling in value from previous sales, however with some notable exceptions. I think private sales are showing signs of life and in many cases producing better results than auctions for buyers and sellers, I think sellers are wary of the risk of auctions (especially when the big houses are pushing low reserves) and so too are buyers, they want time to check what they’re buying and make sure they’re not getting a pup especially when it comes to condition. My personal view is that we could be getting close to a point of returning to sustainable albeit more modest growth, with the more desirable prints recovering quicker and returning to growth first. For me 2020 and 21 were an anomaly in fiscal policy that created bubbles all over the place and the B market was a big one. If we almost ignore what happened and follow the trend line from before it seems like we are getting near where we should be. See the below graph which I borrowed from the fantastic Banksy-Value (and added the trend line) and draw your own conclusions. Of course I could be way off especially with all that is going on in the world so please don’t go remortgaging your house to pile back into the Banksy market. If however you can afford it and have your eye on a certain piece that you really love maybe not the worst time to the plunge.

Last u/s Toxic Mary hammered at £16k a few weeks ago at auction and would have cost the buyer £21k so go for the higher figure for insurance purposes. Given the current downward trend it might be difficult to find a buyer for much more than the hammer price but it’s possible. Not sure on the t-shirt. I think Tate Ward may have auctioned one or two so worth checking their results.  

The last sale at Christie’s hammered at £11k or £12k but that was obviously with a COA. I think a lot of people don’t mind taking the risk as long as the provenance is tight but it may still lower the price a bit. Not sure there’s a lot a fake flags out there. 

I may be mistaken but I think art republic are known to have done some questionable framing in the past so might be worth any buyer checking it over out of frame before any deal is made.
