value of opened art / skulptures versus unopened , by vvk on Dec 12, 2019 16:27:37 GMT 1, a question that has been on my mind lately is if there is any difference in value for a unopened piece of art bought from artist in terms of resale.
For example, is a un boxed unopened kaws print or vinyl toy still in its shipping package valued more because its unopened or valued less, or the same?

If opened then always having the original box or packaging helps too.

value of opened art / skulptures versus unopened , by ca on Dec 12, 2019 20:15:08 GMT 1, People seem to have different views on this. I would *never* buy an unopened KAWS figure. Vinyl sweats if it is left in sealed plastic packaging for any length of time. And as far as prints are concerned, if you buy something unopened, how do you know if it is going to be in perfect condition or not? Even brand new stuff can arrive damaged despite the packaging looking intact. I would want to see what I am buying. Although, strangely enough, "unopened" does seem to be a selling point. I've never understood why though.
