If only I would have...., by nacional on Apr 2, 2008 2:07:20 GMT 1, Best if only I would have purchased story.
About 3 years ago after negotiating with someone I turned down the chance to buy 2 Banksy originals that had been stenciled onto hardboard. The person was a friend of the man himself and actually got Banksy to e-mail me (I know it was him as it came direct from his website) with prov.
Can't remember both images but one of them was of a crane coming down to grab a DJ. I backed out, the guy kept on trying to persuade me to buy for about 2 months after.
Purchase price for both. The princely sum of, gulp, 650 quid.
How much would they go for now. Modest estimate, maybe 20 grand each.
OOOUUUCH....bedtime...stiff whisky first to dull the pain. This one still smarts today...
Apologies if this thread has been done before, but I need catharsis..

my advice to you- buy everything that interests you, then you won't be crying when the market hits.
