Bargains galore?, by top on Jul 30, 2008 15:36:28 GMT 1, Ok, so some are definitely feeling the pinch..
do you believe that if it gets worse, more people will be forced to sell their art, therefore prices will drop? flood of prints from 07/08?
Those unaffected must be rubbing their hands with glee imo..surely some great bargains on the horizon.
Any thoughts?

Bargains galore?, by lee3 on Jul 30, 2008 16:55:57 GMT 1, I don't know about prints but I'm being offered Banksy canvases at prices that are irresistable. And it's not one here and there, I get offerred more by the day. There are some I can't resist and others that are easy passes but I am cautioned by the age old adage that being too early is the same as being wrong. If the credit crunch persists for five years or more, then most of the purchases that I've made in the past 2 or 3 years could well be early/wrong. That's why you can only buy what you love as long as you can afford it and you'll never go wrong. This is NOT the time (imo) however to be stretching yourself thin or leveraging yourself to acquire a piece of art just because it seems less expensive compared with a year ago as it may very well be significantly cheaper 2 years from now.
"Bull markets have a way of trying every trick in the book to keep you out. Bear markets on the other hand try EVERYTHING IN THIER POWER TO LURE US IN and keep us in."

Bargains galore?, by G-Man on Jul 30, 2008 17:31:21 GMT 1, Some great prices about at the moment but the economic outlook is bleak for at least the next 18 months, customer confidence is at the lowest for 15 years, the retail sector is having its worst projections for this year for the last 10 years.
The market is only going to get worse in the short term so buy if the price is right but hold out if you want to gamble IMO the best time to buy prints will be January 2009, prices always drop after Xmas anyway and this year people will really be feeling the pinch come January what with energy bills up by 20% and fuel etc up in price.
People always feel recession worst in the winter as they have to make bigger purchases eg. coats and boots and heating and transport bills are at a high. If you add this to the cost of Xmas people wont be able to afford to sit on a print that they love now.
I'm looking but holding off buying, waiting for those prints that I've wanted for ages to come tumbling down to my level.

ebay seems to be drying up of prints at the moment, so anyone waiting for prices to hit rock bottom, may wait for quiet sometime.

probably very good advice which my wife was echoing to a degree last night. what can i say, i'm addicted to art from both an appreciation and acquisition standpoint. I've got one or two deals left in me int he near term and trying to determine what is best before i go into hiding. I have become methodical in my research (which is actually a release and a pleasure to me and a nice distraction from my regular job which actually uses the same skill set) and still continue to make mistakes but try to limit them to mistakes that i can afford to make.

Bargains galore?, by andrewd on Jul 31, 2008 8:10:46 GMT 1, I am quite interested as to what will happen in October when the 'art season' starts. e.g in London there's Frieze etc and typically all the big galleries hold their best show of the year. It generally pushes interest and prices up.
If prices are still flat then we could be in for a long down turn.

Good point!
You will see a point when 'collectors' will hold on to their prints rather than sell them for half of the price they could have got a few months back! That print you so desperately wanted will vanish from ebay etc and when one does come up it will sell higher than expected due to the unavailability.
Micallef's prices fell and it was months before a decent piece of his work appeared! The only prints for sale were GIWTBB and the Pure Idols sets!
Still a good time to buy, and as Pimp said being able to buy 16K worth of art for ยฃ8k is a dream!!
