Seeking advice..., by bou77 on Mar 29, 2008 18:24:32 GMT 1, Hi Guys
I am in a serious predicament...
4 weeks after first realising I would have to part with some of my beloved art collection I am still no closer to reaching a decision.
Basically I need to raise some cash and I can't borrow any, therefore I HAVE to sell something and the only things I own of any value is my art.
I either sell two banksys (s&s and coloured trolleys) or a 1/1 faile print)
I have made every argument I can come up with in my head but still can't reach a decision.
What in the name of God do I do???
Heart wrenching stuff for me guys but I seriously have no option

Seeking advice..., by bou77 on Mar 29, 2008 18:36:13 GMT 1, Hey Beau, I couldn't be without either but I'm gonna have to be. No other alternative I'm afraid... Cash needed for v serious family situation, got to lose something and it's going to have to be part of the collection. These pieces would raise the most cash for me. No amount of cash is going to soften the blow of losing them but really don't have another option. Bou77 x

I am curious as to why you are asking this forum, and why you refer to your god.
Do you lack confidence in your own personal taste, or are you seeking investment advice and trying to determine which piece will be worth the most in the future?

Seeking advice..., by cbmufc on Mar 29, 2008 19:06:05 GMT 1, hi bou77 i would definitley get rid of your faile. course it will be very sad to let it go but banksy art will go up and up and up! once you've got a banksy piece you should hold onto it for as long as you can. And if you really really need the money then sell your faile as banksy art goes up more and quicker and also more people will want to buy banksy art than faile so i suggest you take my advice and part with your faile if its really necessary, i hope you do take my advice as sad as it is you HAVE TO DO IT! and at the moment banksy pieces are going up in value more than ever, good luck though!!!!

Hi Hungrig
Firstly, I am asking this Banksy Forum for advice as I value the members opinion. I have had difficulty reaching a decision and have posted here on an art forum to gague that opinion.
Secondly, 'in the name of God' is a turn of phrase and I am not referring to any 'God' in particular.
Lastly, no I don't lack confidence in any aspect of my life. However, I revert back to my first point - I respect the members opinion.

Seeking advice..., by dealersam on Mar 29, 2008 19:10:46 GMT 1, definately keep the Faile. Don't get me wrong i'm a huge Banksy fan but if it is purely future investment reasons that separates the 3 then a 1/1 is way more attractive that the colour trolleys print which is an ed. of 750!
let go the pieces you least like. That way you'll never lose as you're keeping the one item you love.

Somethings are more important in life and it sounds as though you have good reason to need the money instead of the coloured paper.
Best option is thus: sell them all, do what you need to with the money, then go on holiday and forget about the pictures!

Rank them 1 to 3 in order of 'like' then sell the third placed one
or
value them 1 to 3 and sell the one that gives you the dough you need
