Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by LJCal on Feb 8, 2023 0:42:05 GMT 1, Don't buy from a gallery, try and buy direct from a collector and make sure to check the condition and verify with pest control before handing over the money. That's in theory how you should get the best deal, by cutting out the middle man. Failing that auction is probably your best bet right now, and plenty of bargains to be had if you're disciplined with your bidding. We're coming to the spring season so lots of opportunities. Failing that some of the specialist dealers like CAT, Castle and MyArtBroker are worth talking to.

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by JFCC on Feb 8, 2023 10:48:04 GMT 1, I have been offered two of late. They were not in perfect condition and on each occasion the buyers were expecting full auction price of ยฃ115k and ยฃ128k.
To me a fair price to a buy in the private market is ยฃ100k. This price is based on paying the mid point between the seller and buyer would pay at auction, regardless of the market condition.
The last few (six) auctions have seen a consistency in prices. The average being around ยฃ114k for the buyer and ยฃ85k that the seller received, so hence a fair price being about ยฃ100k.
My advice is if you are confident then buy privately. Get a verification from Pest Control, the seller should not mind using this process, if they do walk away. Also make sure the seller has a COA and buy one that you can see out of the frame. Make sure it has no creases, blemishes, has not been stuck to a board, does not have fading from where it was window framed...if any of that walk away there are plenty around so be choosey!
If you are going to a Gallery do not be afraid to bid, offer ยฃ100k (providing it is up for more than that and they are typically ยฃ125k - ยฃ135K today) as they will normally have it on consignment and quite often the seller will accept much lower. Also do not accept a Gallery certificate of authenticity, they are completely worthless, only accept a Pest Control one. Just a few thoughts and good luck buying one!

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Charlie Bronson on Feb 11, 2023 19:23:24 GMT 1, Iโm about to buy a GWB; narrowed down to just a few sellers. Looking for some input from you guys in regards to price in relation to condition. Firstly, whatโs a fair price for one in good condition(slight burn on edges)? Second, whatโs fair price on a pristine print? This is a big purchase for me; Iโve been coming to this website for almost a decade, daily, and as a result I value your thoughts, opinions and input, and would greatly appreciate it.

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by High Contrast on Feb 11, 2023 20:00:53 GMT 1, I personally wouldnโt spend over ยฃ90k on one at the moment.
One with some minimal burn ( which will probably fade if you float it in a frame over time) Iโd pay ยฃ85k
I personally wouldnโt go for it if itโs more Matt burned. Will be hard to sell on if you ever need to

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Love Is In The Air on Feb 11, 2023 20:11:06 GMT 1, Iโve never dropped this much on a print but have bought and sold some Banksys and I would say if you can spend a bit more to get one without Matt burn I would do it. I say this just because if you ever need to sell it this will make things smoother/quicker. So totally agree with High Contrast. Also if spending ยฃ50k+ on any print I would aim to get one with as good as condition as possible. Pretty obvious thing to say but if 5k more gets you a much better one itโs 5% extra initial cost but just long term puts you in a much better position. Good luck with the purchase, am very jealous!

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by dotdot on Feb 11, 2023 20:20:03 GMT 1, a few words.
the prints you've seen....
how white is it ?
how red is it ?
what is the paper like ?
corners ?
rear of the print ? ... and is it framed , by whom and ... everything else that goes with a frame / sun fade lines etc.
(have you actually looked at these things in BRIGHT DAYLIGHT ?) tungsten will not cut it in this regard , btw.
led ? NO.
Did you plenty of take notes ? they will all be different.
...the person or gallery / source - what are they like ? any signs of life (useful) / death (can we do it now..!) ?
coa ? is whose name is it ?
..there you go...
oh and price circa ? ยฃ100k , for all the trimmings - (ie you feel safe and are being taken care of)
if you see exactly what you want to buy - you'll know it !
If that box is not ticked.. you will remember this ... in years to come.
one last , perhaps ironic , question - are you planning to frame it and hang on the wall ? consider insurance.
..now put some loud music on and the kettle... chill. (if you drink whiskey - pour a wee glass and savour..)
..
ps - no, i don't work for any galleries and am not affiliated with anyone.

Not knowing your individual situation or circumstances, it is often the case that making compromises to save money is not a great long term strategy. Whatever it is that you want, get that. Worth waiting for and paying for. If you don't, rather than really enjoying the piece, it's the little things that you settled for that you will see every time you look at it.
For me, I actually don't care that much about condition, so not an issue. These things were basically glorified posters when initially sold, and many spent some portion of their existence being treated as such: tacked or taped to walls, rolled up, etc. Now, I'm not ignorant of resale value, so I take all of that in to consideration when I price the works. Guitars and old school street art, I like to see that they have "lived a bit", so I buy the rough ones.

I would mention that though you want quality, a lot can be addressed by a good conservator. If you have photos of any issues they can give you an idea of if theyโre fixable or not. Eg most matt burn can be washed out. Fading due to sunlight canโt be reversed however.

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by mojo on Feb 11, 2023 22:11:42 GMT 1, I'd definitely go for the print in near pristine condition, it's an investment so buy the best that you can! As for what you will pay, that largely depends on what the seller is asking, there is generally some wiggle room however many of the people talking down prices are the people trying to buy them!...and if you go too low the seller will just hold or sell to someone else.
Check out the provenance and COA with PC before paying and if possible meet up with the seller in person and if all is well go for a good lunch to celebrate
