Damien Hirst, The Virtues H9, by theclash on Feb 26, 2021 21:22:17 GMT 1, I can't get my head round how you can buy a print and not pay any Vat if its stored in their vault. Obviously all above board, but seems strange.
Do it with wine in bond all the time. Pay VAT when you take it out for delivery. Pretty standard

It's something to do with reverse time travel. Tenet has a straightforward explanation of how it works.

Damien Hirst, The Virtues H9, by robo on Feb 26, 2021 21:39:35 GMT 1, There are 8 of them, all signed by hand if you like that kinda thing, i do, better than plate signed You can buy all 8 for about half the price of an unsigned banksy. well maybe not half the price, just trying to stretch a point.... rather badly Less than half the price. They must be looking for investors with this release. In theory you could buy all 8 for £17000 (I’m not sure on the vat situation it’s a bit confusing). Then store all 8 with heni for about £1500 a year which is 9% of the purchase price. So as long as they appreciate by over 9%pa (which they probably will) you will be quids in and I think there are lot of people who will take this option (myself not included). However the market will be flooded for years with these so any investors will have to hang on for a looong time.
Yup it'll be a long old haul waiting for the secondary market not to be flooded, and potentially paying storage all that time. They've completely targetted investors and crypto owners with the 8 editions, ETH payments, and bonded warehouse. That said, great images.

It just doesn't sit right with me. If you buy something then you should pay your taxes imo. It just helps helps the rich get richer without paying their share.
Ps. Can I build a house at one of these ports and fill it with art and luxury stuff while drinking fine wine Vat free?

Damien Hirst, The Virtues H9, by Riotcops on Feb 26, 2021 22:38:01 GMT 1, I like the lighter images, 3 and 5 personal favourites due to their minimalism, fits well with my personal aesthetic and reminds me heavily of Japan. From an investment POV? 1 and 7 are the most different so potentially desirable, 2 is completely fucked not sure what he was going for with the gravity defying branches. I agree. Number 2 looks downright weird. Definitely the worst of the bunch.

Damien Hirst, The Virtues H9, by Art Lover 1234 on Feb 27, 2021 1:06:08 GMT 1, Is a tough one this - think I’ll pass ultimately, thinking being that £2500 (or whatever the final cost is) could prove to be a substantial amount of money towards a work on paper or something of that type. I think these look absolute class but the artistic process is a bit rubbish. I’m sure anyone who buys will see it appreciate within the next year and beyond.

These will appreciate but maybe long term by comparing to the similar production process releases, plus the fact there could be constant releases in this type of production process

Damien Hirst, The Virtues H9, by Charlie Bronson on Feb 27, 2021 5:38:53 GMT 1, I do fancy one of these. I know that they can be hung directly, but I think they might look better framed. Any thoughts about framing?
Thick, high gloss white, 1/2” face, x 2” wide, with the piece suspended in a 3/16” float. Such a large piece needs a thick frame as opposed to skinny. Wouldn’t look right in anything less than 2” wide sides and 1/2” wide face imho.

You could argue that the higher valued pieces will be those with the lower edition sizes, so is the tactical vote to vote for the one you want? 😁

Damien Hirst, The Virtues H9, by lawrencej on Feb 27, 2021 10:29:02 GMT 1, No expert here - but my guess is that these trade terribly in the secondary market, for quite a while. Too many asset classes have fast returns in a world awash with liquidity, and past-performance-future-returns types without deep pockets will buy these and be quickly disappointed. They’ll dump them, unless of course the Fruitful/Forever experience discourages buying in the first place.
Personally I like them, and I’m quite pleased/hopeful that they will be a terrible investment so that this market can become less speculative and more buy & hold. That combined with higher release prices would be a good thing.

I don't think you can drink the wine VAT free...but you 100% can build the house VAT free.
There is zero VAT on any building costs for a new build house.
Of course, as it doesn't sit right with you, if you wanted to send a cheque for what the VAT would have been I know that Rishi would appreciate it.

It will certainly be interesting to see the numbers.
Obviously, the most popular will be the biggest edition, while least popular could be a very small edition... So, could that make it more or less desirable later!?
My favourite, Honesty, seems to be least popular in the poll here, but I still think it’s the one I’ll go for!

Time to decide/choose, people who really want one not being behind in the queue to VIP's, flippers, people in the know, hoping more releases are done like this.
For me only gives more credibility to a top artist.
