Whilst Β£600 a piece is a bit silly, one sold on eBay today for Β£350, so you're both off.
Edit: It was a 'My Heart Is With You Always' poster.

My rod nearly broke with that bite. I don't watch game of thrones it's a series based on fantasy. A bit like your FS thread.

Sold a few yeah? And got offended by 'flipper'?
Don't worry mate, we've never PM'd and don't think I would've considered it seeing your pricing.
You've sold one now so you should be happy - just feel sorry for buyer...

If you don't like the price don't buy it.
Could be worse at least this is 2 years old some of the stuff for sale on here doesn't even get to age more than 2 weeks.

I don't see what the point of your comment was other that to further attempt to derail my for sale thread or are you trying to suggest I sell them for Β£50?? This is comical and I can now see why the comments were deactivated, the long standing members on here feel that they have more say than others or some kind of God given right to abuse and bully others.
I agree, people feel that forums are a place for opinions. Feking idiots. If you have something to say, draw a picture on a wall like banksy. FFS

Instead of criticising someone for posting a thread that in no way (at first glance) is disrespectful to the forum rules, why not take your opinions to those that are prepared to purchase the piece for this price? Supply and demand.
I think sometimes this place is like a stagnant pond when it comes down to peopleβs attitudes. Itβs almost as if the more posts one has, the more power one gains, consequently turning them into the forum police. I also think some people need to get off their high horse. Iβve lost count over the number of times Iβve seen long standing members accuse others of flipping art work and yet are prepared to flip themselves, but instead, add an excuse to the reason why they have had to.

Tracey Emin π¬π§ New Release β’ Exhibition News β’ For Sale, by damo on Jun 3, 2016 19:57:00 GMT 1, As a relative newcomer I find the pricing of these posters fascinating, they are in essence just posters so the premium is for an autograph, which is actually fair enough. In Feb they were widely available at Β£150/200 but a single Paddle8 auction in March saw one go for a really high price (I think it was near Β£1k or something equally insane) so the price, on all others, was accordingly adjusted.
Im not buying a conspiracy theory on the auction but it goes to show how much a single (high profile) sale can impact (and I deliberately use that word over 'manipulate') the price for the whole market. Now in the recent sales listed here the seller has taken a fair amount of stick from people who are understandably questioning the value of 'a poster', but in fairness he surely has the right to request any price the market is willing to entertain. If they don't entertain it, he doesnt sell, if they do then the overall market price increases.
Ive seen similar discussion on here (Stik, etc) but I don't think I've seen a scenario where the cycle has been so... well ... obvious. Basically I could buy a dozen Emin posters at the car boot. Wait for the sold out signs and then just go to an auction and bid the shit out of one to set a new market high. I know this is how the market has always been but it's really interesting as an outsider seeing it for the first time. I'm not making any judgement on it, or the seller on this occasion, but I've just found it really interesting this year.
Disclosure: I only know the Feb prices because I was going to buy it for the wife for Valentines, and baulked at Β£175+. To me that still feels like a fair, and reasonable, price but each to their own.
As a relative newcomer I find the pricing of these posters fascinating, they are in essence just posters so the premium is for an autograph, which is actually fair enough. In Feb they were widely available at Β£150/200 but a single Paddle8 auction in March saw one go for a really high price (I think it was near Β£1k or something equally insane) so the price, on all others, was accordingly adjusted.
Im not buying a conspiracy theory on the auction but it goes to show how much a single (high profile) sale can impact (and I deliberately use that word over 'manipulate') the price for the whole market. Now in the recent sales listed here the seller has taken a fair amount of stick from people who are understandably questioning the value of 'a poster', but in fairness he surely has the right to request any price the market is willing to entertain. If they don't entertain it, he doesnt sell, if they do then the overall market price increases.
Ive seen similar discussion on here (Stik, etc) but I don't think I've seen a scenario where the cycle has been so... well ... obvious. Basically I could buy a dozen Emin posters at the car boot. Wait for the sold out signs and then just go to an auction and bid the shit out of one to set a new market high. I know this is how the market has always been but it's really interesting as an outsider seeing it for the first time. I'm not making any judgement on it, or the seller on this occasion, but I've just found it really interesting this year.
Disclosure: I only know the Feb prices because I was going to buy it for the wife for Valentines, and baulked at Β£175+. To me that still feels like a fair, and reasonable, price but each to their own.
