Blek prints themselves are relatively easy to get, so I can't see photos of his stuff being that highly sought after. Why did you buy them if you are going to trade them immediately anyways?

They're massively different though... There is no comparison to a quality BRP Blek screen print

Brand NEW Blek Le Rat Set!!, by bored with screen names on Apr 6, 2008 22:14:52 GMT 1, I think the original price was a bargain and the set looks nice IMO, but 600 GBP the day after is just absurd.
That being said, supposedly there were 50 on the preview Friday, and 50 last night, and all sold out quickly.

They are photos taken by Blek's wife, they are signed by blek/obey/blek's wife
Thats about all i know.
Don't think they are worth ยฃ600 though...more like ยฃ300/400

They're prints based on pictures of Blek street art, taken by his wife and then Shepard Fairey transformed them into a distressed screenprint. They really are pretty good and at $100 for an edition of only 100, they were an absolute steal. All of them sold out at the opening last night. After a 90 minute wait to get in, I managed to get a couple of the ones which were still available. Having said that, pretty shitty for someone to offer them for 10x the price the day after on here.
They also had nice digital photos of his work, again taken by his wife. Signed by Blek along with an actual stencilled rat on the piece - cracking value at $200 a pop.

At 500 for the set, it's a damn good price. Pictures really don't do them justice, they are awesome in the flesh, so to speak.

$100 each, so $400 for the set. They were hugely underpriced in my opinion based upon what Blek and Obey Giant prints usually sell for and also the small edition size.

Brand NEW Blek Le Rat Set!!, by seidbereit on Apr 7, 2008 1:26:52 GMT 1, I still don't get it... so they were $400 yesterday and now they're $1000 dollars simply because:
a) they're sold out
b) they're cheaper than anything blek/fairey has ever done before
c) that's it?
They're all quite nice in their own way, I'll gove them that, but the only one that would be remotely close to getting hung up on my wall would be the one with the gate on right hand side, and that's only because I think it's a damn nice gate!!
Other than that. I don't get it. I expect these pictures will be in his book and that'll do me nicely. Don't see the huge appeal of these at all.

Well not that I agree with this price tag the day after the show but I think the couple reasons you stated is exactly what makes these and most prints desireable to a large group of people.
And p.s. for all those that didn't get a chance to go it was actually only $350 plus tax for the set so they were really less than $100 a piece.

Brand NEW Blek Le Rat Set!!, by anodyne13 on Apr 7, 2008 3:40:46 GMT 1, $250USD for one of these in an edition of 100 is an interesting alternative to paying $650 for another one of his prints. I actually think seeing the images in context is more interesting than bleks iamge as a stand alone, but im sure im in the minority.
i also think prices will be around $300-350 USD in about 2-3 weeks time.

so with your thinking, I'm better off to go take some Polaroids of some Banksy work, because they'll be just as collectible. Granted they're not signed, but I'd be able to sell them to you for quite a premium!
sounds good to me..
so, you want a set of 4 "banksy" sprays for thousand quid?
