IMO it will probably hold its value in the next four years but don't expect it to go up in value - you'd be better to put the ยฃ2k in an ISA. Did you decide on which NW to go for?

Personally I feel that this print will probably be worth either a silmilar amount or maybe more in 3-4 years than it is today. BUT noone knows what Banksy will decide he wants to "do" in terms of releasing prints, which will influence values in the future. If it will look good on your wall and bring you happiness and you can buy it without sacrificing food, why not?!?!

banksy trolleys colour signed , by dirk on Aug 20, 2008 19:45:39 GMT 1, Latest sold for ยฃ1995 on ebay. If someone is looking for an investment, I feel this is untouchable in the current market. Banksy is the most prolific artist around at the moment, whose artwork has been collected by the rich and famous, he is in the media, been mentioned on Eastenders and normal punters can still afford to say they have a piece of his work. This will change within 12 months and yes is dependent on if he ever releases another print again. Does he need to? If he doesnt, watch the price of prints get out of reach of most people. If he does, more people will gain interest and the price will rise. Win/Win in my books. You will be lucky to get a Warhol print of 250 for ยฃ15k these days. Look at the price of Banksy originals today? Do your own homework, but in these credit crunch times, I know where my money is going.

Look at all the muppets buying Nick Walker works at mad prices before and after the US show, big loss now, same with Micallef same with ............... get the picture. Personally I buy what I like, any money made in the process is a bonus. I think Trolleys is one of the best images that Banksy has done so even if the prices dropped below what was paid I would still look and enjoy it.

I agree, no contest, but for some who were collecting before the shark feeding flippers frenzy they were both Graff artists from Bristol. Prior to 2000 money did not really come into the mix. Now people are comparing based on amount the artists works are worth rather than discussing the art itself. I love Banksy and some that know me know what works I own, as for visual stimulation though, I have moved on and look for something that Banksys work used to do for me. His work is genius but all the talk these days is about what "so and so sold for" boring now.
