BANKSY TIPS & WANTED, by boatman on Oct 1, 2015 9:58:42 GMT 1, Hi all
I've been looking to purchase a Banksy for a while now and completely bemused by the market. Trying to work out if its false inflated market (due to a lot of high profile auctions) or whether this is the genuine progressive market value
I was looking to purchase a 'Golf Sale' or 'HMV' unsigned due to budget. Can you advise and what is the realistic market for these and also if anyone has one of the above for sale
I realise this is all open to interpretation and don't want to start a whirlwind but your knowledge would be massively appreciated being a Banksy virgin
My previous 'street art' purchases have been of T.Wat and Pure Evil which I realise is whole different ball game but want to try and sort my Banksy hit out the way before it potentially becomes completely out of reach
Peace & Love
Boatman

Prices are on the increase long term.
You can get a good deal at auction houses or pay way over just depends on who's bidding on the day and what auction house it is.
Lots in auction are damaged so check condition.
ยฃ3/3.5ish for golf sale HMV ยฃ4.5/5k or more is probably about right
Make sure it has COA in owners name.

I paid more than that for a mint golf sale recently. Guess it depends how much you want something!

There's a golf sale on Ebay for ยฃ3,300 that has not sold for quite some time. Has a lot of tape residue on the reverse and what looks like a dark smudge on the bottom edge of the front right in the centre. I'd noticed it myself and guess thats why its not selling |

Best regards

I own an u/s HMV and un surprisingly I think ยฃ4k would be a steal - definately buy if you can get one for ยฃ4k - where do we stand on the red stamp on these. I've said in previous threads I prefer the red Banksy stamp on barcode HMV etc ! & would pay a premium to have it.

BANKSY TIPS & WANTED, by boatman on Oct 1, 2015 16:31:38 GMT 1, Also regarding the price check thread that's why i questioned the 'idea' as its alright saying something is 'worth' x amount but if noone on the open market is selling at the 'x' amount and the prints are selling for more then market contradicts it..if you get my flow....

BANKSY TIPS & WANTED, by The Silence on Oct 8, 2015 1:23:02 GMT 1, I wondered the same thing some time ago. Essentially it should of course be about what you love. If it became worthless tomorrow would you still want it on your wall?
If your looking at it from the perspective of investment (or just making sure your piece doesn't become worthless if you've spent thousands on it) then you should consider a few things. Banksy is the best known of the new generation of artists. Are the prices high? Yes. Will they keep going up? Probably. Most popularist art does increase in value over time - many investors put money into art and they often buy people they've heard of. So a non-art lover choosing to stash cash will buy a Rodin (and now more often that you'd think - Banksy too). That probably won't stop for a while. The only thing to look out for is that he is still producing work. Warhol is not alive so there's very little that can change the value of his work now. However for an artist who's alive there's always a bit of risk. The wrong kind of media attention (see Rolf Harris who's paintings did apparently have value previously), or over-exposure (like Hirst has done a bit) and it could be bad. Is this likely to happen with Banksy now? Quite unlikely. At least I hope so as I've got a few now.
I recently sold a Golf Sale (unsigned) for ยฃ2600. Got a lot less than that as it was through auction. Annoying for me, but good for the buyer. Sometimes you can get good deals in auctions, just find a price you're willing to pay and don't go over it. You could get lucky. Check Phillips online and the other big galleries. You can always search on Artnet and then call galleries that say they have one. Don't go with what they say at first either (unless it's a really awesome price) and NEVER buy without a COA from Pest Control.
Even better might be to put up a wanted on the forum or keep an eye on the sales thread? Good luck getting one!
