Trade: My Banksy for Your STIK, by Poster Bob on Aug 27, 2016 11:31:26 GMT 1, Did Deranged pay you to make this thread? Never trade a Banksy for something made by a lower artist. A Schtick with a signature isn't worth a Banksy without one. Schtick has Deranged and Lamberty manipulating his market, Banksy has thousands of people manipulating his. What is a "lower artist" ? Nonblue chip peasant fodder.

A Schtick with a signature isn't worth a Banksy without one. Schtick has Deranged and Lamberty manipulating his market, Banksy has thousands of people manipulating his. What is a "lower artist" ? Far less pieces in their market?
I mean Stik has what, a thousand pieces across originals and prints. Im guessing their so could be proven wrong. against lets say flags, edition of 1000? Very rare to own a Stik piece. If you can afford a Banksy you could chose from a few dozen each week. If you want a Stik your chances of getting one are much lower.
Im sure thats what bob meant, i mean we can all see he really wants one for himself. He protests too much.

A lot here should admit that there is not only Banksy ( and on the rebound, each artist That he promotes or helps as Brainwash , Dismaland guests, etc ..., He is not the manager of street-art, " the " or " a"' reference of course and we must consider other Street-artists as Banksy has considered graffiti and painting artists.

Trade: My Banksy for Your STIK, by agu on Aug 27, 2016 16:39:16 GMT 1, Thanks for all of your comments. Its is interesting to witness the passion that both artists raise, so my consideration of swapping a old "banksy" for "the new banksy" (he really is you know) was bound to be a conversation starter. I have enjoyed reading all of them. I have created a thread on art trades to dig deeper into the topic. Please join in.
urbanartassociation.com/thread/141113/art-trades-swaps-went-badly?page=1&scrollTo=1518282
Just so you know I have not lost my marbles. I LOVE flying copper, it is a vastly undervalued classic banksy. And though many were produced, how many survive is a another matter...
All that said my wife doesn't like it as much and is gently nudging for a change. Simples.

Wow, I don't usually get involved with petty squabbles but that comment is hugely inappropriate! I suggest you take a step back and have word with yourself!

Trade: My Banksy for Your STIK, by Reptile 072 on Aug 28, 2016 18:16:26 GMT 1, FC is a great image and the second largest Banksy (after Applause) if I am not mistaken. I personally would only trade a Banksy for another Banksy, but whoever takes the OP up on this trade is definitely coming up on the deal (sure, Stik has been gaining steam, but Banksy is Banksy). All parties will be happy and that's what a great trade is all about.

I don't have a signed Queen vic... Is a signed Banksy swapping for a lovers realistic?

Trade: My Banksy for Your STIK, by Reptile 072 on Aug 28, 2016 23:38:53 GMT 1, Because a lot of people are making a big deal about market value of the two prints. If he got FC for a great price, I would think it would make it even easier to trade for a print that's of "lower" value, as far as the market is concerned. Or maybe that's how I just think.

Trade: My Banksy for Your STIK, by Reptile 072 on Aug 29, 2016 2:39:26 GMT 1, Did you read my first sentence? The OP clearly would not make this offer if he cared a lot about the market value for his FC. Stocks are ALL about market value. I don't think that comparison really applies here, as a result.
If, for example, the OP bought his FC for $200, many years ago, don't you think it'd be easier for him to trade it for a Stik that sells for $5K now? I'm just making up numbers here.
Of course, the logical course is to sell the FC, get market value ($8K, whatever it is), make an offer on a Stik and maybe have cash left over at the end of the day. However, in this case, the OP clearly does not care as much about the market value for his FC, and just wants to trade for a Stik.
If this still doesn't make sense, I'm probably just from Mars.

All ready good points. My approach to art is as more emotional and aesthetic than it is financial. I buy shares but see that as the a " purely rational pursuit of gain". I'm not looking to give money away and would assume most trade might need some "balancing" of sorts. At the end of the day I love Flying Copper, the wife and the kids LOVE STIK. So as a family we will get more "out of" a Stik, maybe that could be seen as better value or use of funds?

However, in this case, the OP clearly does not care as much about the market value for his FC, and just wants to trade for a Stik. If this still doesn't make sense, I'm probably just from Mars. All ready good points. My approach to art is as more emotional and aesthetic than it is financial. I buy shares but see that as the a " purely rational pursuit of gain". I'm not looking to give money away and would assume most trade might need some "balancing" of sorts. At the end of the day I love Flying Copper, the wife and the kids LOVE STIK. So as a family we will get more "out of" a Stik, maybe that could be seen as better value or use of funds?
Well said and back to the point at hand rather than all the nasty vitriol above!!
Did you read my first sentence? The OP clearly would not make this offer if he cared a lot about the market value for his FC. Stocks are ALL about market value. I don't think that comparison really applies here, as a result. If, for example, the OP bought his FC for $200, many years ago, don't you think it'd be easier for him to trade it for a Stik that sells for $5K now? I'm just making up numbers here.ย Of course, the logical course is to sell the FC, get market value ($8K, whatever it is), make an offer on a Stik and maybe have cash left over at the end of the day.

Trade: My Banksy for Your STIK, by agu on Aug 31, 2016 0:21:52 GMT 1, Sorry to all the people who pm'ed me asking for a sale price, I just have not had the time to respond to each one. The prices offered have been fair and generous however I am hoping to use the piece as bait to wrangle a lovers out of the woodwork so I am not going for a straight sale just yet. Also like I say I would want to risk losing the "re-entry visa"granted by the art police when a piece leaves the house. The sale would create "funds" which in turn creates "things we need" a category within which art seldom features.....
