Best place to sell..., by nacional on Mar 23, 2008 21:51:47 GMT 1, I have to unload the top end of my collection.
Sell them not swopping.
Banksy Soupcan (/10) Beejoir (Lies and Greed originals) DFace (Anyoldwar original) Neate (Nothing on TV and Teadrinker)
Think I've got the names correct.
Where in your opinions is the best place to do this?
I could put them on this forum, but people here are more into swaps, maybe e-bay, but the money involved is lots (total of maybe 35 grand)
Banksy: 10-12 Beejoir: 10 for both DFace: maybe 10 Neate:maybe 5 for both
Don't want an auction house as I don't want to line their pockets.
Gallery??
Please don't ask for photos as I'm not posting to sell here yet, just looking for advice..
Cheers all...

Best place to sell..., by manchestermike on Mar 24, 2008 11:56:59 GMT 1, Have you thought of auction? (Not ebay)
Dreweatts are having one soon with a few very good pieces in, your stuff may do well there. Alternatively there are a lot of good recommendations on this thread... does Frankie have a selling service?? I didn't know if he does. Steve at HipArt is great to deal with too...
Personally with items of this value I'd look at Urban Angel or Gallery Nosco or an auction house

Moon on a stick?

Best place to sell..., by nacional on Mar 24, 2008 12:50:40 GMT 1, I have never sold thru a gallery or an auction house before, but I thought (maybe wrongly) that with a gallery they would buy it from me at a price and then sell it on for what they can get. Whilst at an auction you have to pay them a fixed % of the selling price which is up in the air anyway, as apart from the base you don't know how much the item is going to go for.
In my own little way it seems less hassle to deal with a gallery than an auction house.
Also, I like galleries more, and, perhaps naively, I like the idea of the art that I purchased is feeding back into the world of art and not some corporate bonus speculation. Remember, I did say, perhaps naively...
And whats wrong with the moon on a stick for christs sake...
When I decide the route I will take, I will offer them all here first, but I do want to get top buck, meaning what they are worth on the market today....

Best place to sell..., by manchestermike on Mar 24, 2008 12:54:18 GMT 1, A gallery will usually offer to sell them for you and take a commission on the sale (this varies at each place) or they may buy from you, but if they do you won't get market price as they need to make their margin too

Best place to sell..., by rosstierney on Mar 24, 2008 21:58:22 GMT 1, you could put them on eBay! and get the buyer to agree to the following method:
rebulk.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CreateDispute&hc=1&hm=uu.r%60can671
enter the item number, choose "we have both agreed not to complete the transaction" from the first drop down box & "other reason" from the second drop down box
you will get the final value fee immediately refunded & you will still be able to leave feedback for each other
if anyone has a problem with this, i'm sure you'll let me know
otherwise, enjoy screwing "the man"

Best place to sell..., by nacional on Mar 25, 2008 1:08:30 GMT 1, Much as I try to pretend otherwise, I think I might actually be The Man.
Does having a wife, 2 kids, 4 (yes, 4...) mortgages qualify me.
Now if you would have asked me 26 years ago when I was a fully paid up member of the "Scum of the Earth", otherwise known as the UK Subs fan club (now there was a band) I would have hot you with my bullet belt and strangled you with my Viva La Rock tee-shirt.
Now, I will retire with my slippers and a glass of single malt, if you will all excuse me......
