If you go to auction to buy you may have to pay £3.5-5k for a set, I'm pretty sure from ebay and members on here you could piece together a set for about £2-2.5k. Whoever thinks these are worth £15k is having a laugh.

Well I hope they didn’t have to pay any duty on them then as it would probably cost more than than buying them elsewhere 

What's the difference and how would you know? There's no mention of any additional written authentication, COA, provenance, case etc from OP that would differentiate it. Nor the auction sales.

Ricky - there literally are links to 4 Christie's auctions and 4 Sotheby's auctions, all in the last two years, in the post directly above yours.

And there is literally a post which you just quoted, which explains why you should not assume that anyone besides Stik can auction off these print sets as and when he pleases. I think that it is the right thing to do to inform any potential buyers of such print sets that they should not assume that they are able to auction them off. I even addressed that I could be mistaken, and asked for any more enlightened parties to opine on the matter. Are you such a party and have you listed a set with either Christie's or Sotheby's?

Ricky:

A) I've had better economics selling "lowly" street art elsewhere. 

B) Christies moved $7.1B of auctions in 2021, of which Stik works accounted for about $383K. That is 0.005% of their gross auction value. Eyeballing the data, similar amount for 2022. Christies literally made more money from me than they do all of Stik's works combined. You may be overestimating his influence on the company.

C) Sotheby's moved $7.3B of auctions in 2021, of which Stik works accounted for about $852K. That is 0.012% of their gross auction value. No works of his have been sold there since March of last year. You may be overestimating his influence on the company.

wait so the crate isn't signed off by Stik?

£1500 more like, this is the urban art forum not sothebys catalogue year 2300, get outta here. 

The post says that 15k was from the shipping insurance. 

There is 0.00000000000 chance STIK sent these out in a crate and set a value on them !!!!
You should amend your false statement.

What are you going on about, for the UK prints and contemporary departments he will have plenty of influence. He's heavily featured and pushed in certain sales. Literally any work that comes through the door they will approach him to authenticate and I've spoken to a few sellers of genuine works where this has been far from straight forward, not sure how much of a priority authenticating a set of free posters will be for him and his studio. 

The crate looks exactly like the crate my noir canvas came in?

Its impressive how missinformation spreads round here. 

I guess that a print or an OG sale at christies is also not relevant to private sales then? 

Since if you submit a regular set of holding hands posters, they will tell you "no thanks". that alone makes it pretty obvious to anyone that these sets are different. 

Also, i submitted mine in December, and the first set is up in the prints and multiples sale this month, id have to conclude you are incorrect on this one also matey.

As for 4-5k, it could happen, but the results i posted in the post you quoted, dont really back that up either. 

your telling someone who has done this already, what will happen. But none of it fits what i have just experienced, while doing it. 

Oh, and Christies pay 31 days after the sale ends. 

Hey everyone, wow lots of replies Thanks to all, please allow me time to find my way to a laptop or desktop as this forum is tricky for me to navigate on mobile. To the person whom said they cannot be compared to eBay sales THANK YOU.

I just texted him and told him I have listed them for sale so his team can confirm. x

“You are part of the story now” STIK told me that himself, these prints are part of his journey and story. I am the man who made it possible for him to own stik.com - I invested my money, time and efforts into securing his branding online. Further I sold it to him cheap and gave him first right I’d refusal.


I also have an original sketch coming with my daughters name on it will never part with it.

These prints were packaged like this because I live in Baltimore, the mail here is notoriously horrible, furthermore, he wanted to ensure since being shipped internationally, that they would make it to me in tact. I am the one who asked for value for insurance!

To the person saying stik is obsessed with money! You are dead wrong, he absolutely is not. Wanna know how I know? I begged and pleaded for original canvases instead of money and he chose to protect his work, not oversaturate the market and scrape up the cash.

Obsessed with money is he? That’s why he funded the entire ww2 vet event with his own recently. Wow a few of haters here.
