Buy whatever one you like looking at the most! Its as simple as that!
The only reason you posting this here is becasue you want to get peoples thoughts on which one will appreciate more over time!

Unsigned Print To Buy, by seidbereit on Apr 10, 2008 12:38:01 GMT 1, I agree with Graeme, it seems like a perfectly genuine post listing his favourites - or those he hopes to be able to get for his price range. The "ideas/advice" just probably leaves it open for members to offer him something else that may not be listed - it seems unnecessarily cynical to suggest appreciation has anything to do with it.
Anyway, wax - I'm not 100% sure if it applies to all of your choices, but think you may have to add a little more cash to land some/most of those prints (or maybe you have something inexpensive but interesting to offer as a makeweight). Best of luck in the quest though.

Unsigned Print To Buy, by waXology on Apr 10, 2008 12:42:51 GMT 1, yeah exactly.
Ok the ones I like looking at... I'd go for Jack & Jill first then Flags. Applause third.
Trolleys and Morons have grown on me since joining this forum if you can believe that (seeing them framed up in the framing threads).
And mate if you think I want to buy one for the value than I'd be looking at a signed print. I also would have purchased Morons when it went on sale seeing it was on sale about Midday Australian time, but took it out of my cart because i didn't like it at first.
I'm buying for what they look like on my wall, not what they are worth. I assure you my love of art goes back many years. Search for me on the Aussie Collectors forum if you need reassurance. Thanks for all the comments though.

Unsigned Print To Buy, by They call me Stephen on Apr 10, 2008 13:30:13 GMT 1, you should check out this website wax
www.Expressobeans/
it lets you see what previous prints have sold for on ebay giving you rough averages for all of the banksy's you are after.
it's really useful in seeing which prints have been selling for relatively low amounts in recent auctions.
a grannies would be within your price range if you like it

Unsigned Print To Buy, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 10, 2008 13:44:17 GMT 1, I would go for a Grannies for the smile factor anyway! Love the old dears! Or Applause if you want something massive to command a larger space. Funnily enough, I'm not at all into J+J, however much it holds my attention I find the "kids" freakishly ugly and wouldn't want them on my wall.
Good luck deciding/hunting.

Unsigned Print To Buy, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 10, 2008 15:18:06 GMT 1, Yeah, I don't think £800 is the right ballpark for a Napalm in good nick is it? My fave would be Barcode, but then you're upto around £3k+!!!

Good luck with acquiring your first Banksy ;D

Unsigned Print To Buy, by doublehelix on Apr 10, 2008 16:41:55 GMT 1, Yup, I've lept from £125 for a piece up to £5000 for a piece in a matter on months! Although others on here seem to be up in the tens of thousands realms, so I've some way to go yet!
