LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by Wearology on Jul 6, 2010 1:01:55 GMT 1, We all have purchased art that will never make our walls. The pieces are either in a portfolio, storage or still in the tube. Instead of putting it on EBAY or receiving below cost offers from fellow forum members, I think it would be interesting to start a new thread where we can trade our unwanted art to each other. Wouldn't it be nice to receive a new piece of art in the mail that will make your wall for an unwanted old piece of art that will never make your wall. I will start by offering for trade my First Great Weston that is in perfect condition and still in the tube.

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by popmozz on Jul 6, 2010 9:48:44 GMT 1, GREAT IDEA but I think we need to be a bit more constructive if this threat should not end up in a huge mess and die aborning. If everyone just posting his not-wanted art, ok. But what then? You have to find two parties who like the other ones not-wanted. Guess this sounds easier as it is. At least you need a bit information on these not-wanted art: - give some relevant information to your piece - at least a price tag or equivalent "value points" what you value your stuff - what artists/pieces are you looking for to trade
What do you think, any ideas?

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by Wearology on Jul 6, 2010 13:05:02 GMT 1, This thread can work if we all pitch in a little. 1. list name of item and original price including shipping (and if you can't remember like me put down an estimate) 2. list 3 or so artists that you would be interested in trading for 3. list 3 or so pieces that you would be interested in trading for 4. list where you are located If fellow forum members can help with the history of these items that would be greatly appreciated. If I were to follow to these 4 simple guidelines my post would look like this. 1. First Great Weston (FGW)- original price including shipping $750 US Dollars? 2. Would like work by artists like Slinkachu, Banksy , D'FACE. 3. looking for the peace sign by D"FACE , anything by Slinkachu , unsigned grannies by Banksy. 4. I am located in the United States

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by Zippy on Jul 6, 2010 14:29:27 GMT 1, Wearology - I am sure this would work but on this forum?
Where have you allowed for 'members' to comment on every piece and what they think it's worth and how much they made flipping one back in the 'good ol days'

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by popmozz on Jul 6, 2010 14:52:14 GMT 1, As mentioned earlier I very much like the idea. But I agree to both of you, Wearo and Zippy. Chance there is, hard to realize, oh yes. Additionally so many members are only swapping within the inner circle of London based forum members. What I understand, but would be great if due to consistent rules e. g. on shipping etc. this could be extended to an international circle. Opens many new opportunities for LDN people, anyway. And the value of an piece of art is what the seller think it is and what the buyer is able to pay. This is why I brought up the idea with "value points" instead of pounds or dollars. Even if it is the same value it sounds differently. Maybe we should say 1 value point is 10 pounds. That would strengthen this effect. Did I smoke something, no, just some ideas which came around. And when we are working a little bit more on these guidelines and bring them down to 5 easy rules, it may work.

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by bigtlt on Jul 6, 2010 15:01:59 GMT 1, Will still get people arguing and sniping about peoples valuations of there art.
The easiest way is for people just post up what they have for swap, and if anyone likes it, send a PM and offer what they would be willing to swap, I'm sure nobody will take any offence to what is offered. Even if I was offended, I would politely decline the swap, sure others could do the same

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by Dellboyy on Jul 6, 2010 15:21:31 GMT 1, I must say i agree with bigtlt, i think the more open this section is the better, leave it down to individuals to communicate. Especially since some could involve overseas shipping etc.
Plus, i've got bits n pieces from swaps that i couldn't put a value on at all, so the more complicated the system, with points etc, would just be more likely to put me off!

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by holden on Jul 6, 2010 15:24:31 GMT 1, I bumped the xmas swap shop recently with an offer of a Faile swap as I thought it was a great idea........altho Im not sure how many successes resulted from the thread?
My only other concern is peoples expectations. Whilst I realise I may perhaps be dreaming with my current Faile offer, there is no way in hell people will want to swap cr@p for banksy. You're better off selling your undesirables getting the ca$h and purchasing the banksy you want.
Just my 2c, no offense meant

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by Wearology on Jul 6, 2010 16:14:10 GMT 1, I have so many pieces of art that are not going to make my walls - I realize that I will never recoup their original value and wanted to trade within our community without going to EBAY. I posted a FGW last night and have already received several PM's with potential trade offers. A lot of us are tight for cash these days so to buy some new art at this point is probably money better spent on food and rent - but we all love art and I know that nothing takes my mind off of reality that a shiny new piece of art that arrives in the post.

LET'S TRADE OUR UNWANTED ART TO EACH OTHER, by bullet on Jul 6, 2010 23:19:42 GMT 1, ive got a D*FACE Dogface paste up. its big and its biting its way out of the tube. Its also rarer than a snozcumber.
measures something like 85cm x 65cm and is hand screened. No provenance, but trust me... its the real thing.
mint condition in a tube.
swap for another dface or something cool.
These are the same, except this one was never pasted.
