Banksy โข Gangsta Rat Print, by Phat Spider on Dec 24, 2010 10:11:35 GMT 1, Please explain klyde? I bought this print with every intention of keeping - it's probably my 2nd or 3rd favourite Banksy print. However, if I can trade it for my 1st favourite - whats the issue?

No, you queued for a period of time (possibly) didnโt get one, moaned to POW as you are sooo desperate to own one and you were hard done by (despite hundreds managing to get one just fine), they send you one which is an astonishing gesture of good will, and instantly you want to trade it for a valuable piece of art!
Net result, you possibly walk away with a gangster rat worth thousands, and your only outlay was ยฃ450 and a whiney email.
Hardly what POW had in mind really, was it?
Hopefully thatโs the last time POW release such editions.
Your property, you can do whatever you like with it, just donโt pretend your attempt to buy Banksy was anything other than financial.

If I were you phat, I'd throw that CYW up on ebay. Who gives a crap what people think. People are paying stupid money right now, cash in while the gettin is good and save that money for a rainy day when you come across a great Banksy deal.

Banksy โข Gangsta Rat Print, by jakek on Jan 5, 2011 19:05:44 GMT 1, I'd seen the signed rat and if I wasn't on my best behaviour (saving for my wedding is more important than buying art, or that'swhat my missus says) i'd have been putting in a cheeky offer myself.
I would love a rat print, especially a signed one, on the wall. I think your best bet would be to sell the print you have while tey are getting silly mony on ebay and then bid on the rat on ebay or try to source one elsewhere.

have to say i totally agree with this, at least get your CYW framed and on the wall, take the time to live with it, enjoy it and maybe then decide that you would rather trade it.
no matter you got a queue jumper, i think if you're honest you would have traded any CYW you could have got your hands on?
as was said, it's yours now to do what you wish with and if you cannot see why your approach might rub people up the wrong way - particularly those that queued and didn't get anything! - then you need to wise up.....
FWIW, you could keep you CYW, frame it, love it and get saving for another gangster rat, signed or unsigned. best of both worlds IMO.

Banksy โข Gangsta Rat Print, by snausages on Jan 5, 2011 21:34:52 GMT 1, CYWs seem to be selling between 3-4k so a rat should be valued at 5k imo.
But I think the CYW should be more like 2-3k and Rat 4k

which is your opinion, based i'm sure on the fact that my opinion differs from that of your own.
my opinion of you is that you need to grow up.
you might like to also get your head around the fact that print values are based on the simple premiss of supply and demand and not which ones you like more than others.

No it's based on your tact. I guess this stems from me commenting about your Banksy opinions in another thread. I wasn't trying to attack your opinion. But it did strike me because the views you expressed are contrary to what most think. That's all. It was clear I struck I nerve with you based on your reply so I tried not to get personal and explain what I meant.
My opinion is that people who quote others and follow up with " LMAO ;D " ...need to grow up. You should learn how to handle criticism.
If only things were that simple. You've never seen a stock collapse? Or seen a work of art sell for millions one year and only thousands the next? Demand can easily be manufactured through hype. Especially with such a neophyte collector crowd.
