Over a grand, why?, by Francis on Jan 22, 2008 0:08:11 GMT 1, I like bast - I just dont go around all frat boy like chanting "Bast #1 Bast #1"
People are just speaking out after all the BAST attacks. I think enthusiasm is warranted considering the very exciting events of the site relaunch and TLSG show coming up.
The question is, why does it bother you?

I agree that it's the recent excitement that's driving the prices and interest. It didn't help that Bast increased his prices significantly on his site and they all sold. More and more are popping up on eBay now...

HAHA...OK, I know exactly where you are coming from if you think Santa's Ghetto is BAST's claim to fame.

I like the Bast Mickey's, but can also see why people think its crap, its all about opinion and its not personal. In light of the Bast re-launch and related prices, Bast cost on the primary market is increasing, this could lead to increased prices on the secondary.

Just because you like Bast doesn't mean that you have better taste than anyone else either.

Quite right.... I don't have any bast stuff as I know it would never make it to a wall but at the same time I can't help staring at them when I seen them as there's such a lot to see. It's a bit like seeing a beautiful shiny new Ferrari wrapped around a lampost. Looks miles more interesting than one in a showroom but I still wouldn't want to have either of them. ;D

That's a cracking analogy sb. I personally would have a bast on the wall although I see your point, and I will have to remember that ferrari thing

does that really happen a lot? I thought that was illegal as it would be shill bidding? Out of curiousity, what do you guys think a fair price for the glitter prints would be? Last I checked there were a couple on eBay and auction saboteur but prices were higher on the later...

Over a grand, why?, by Deleted on Jan 24, 2008 17:28:54 GMT 1, I personally would be happy with the colored or the larger release (was it a 100?) as I think Bast still hand finishes those. After some thought, I can see artyfarty's point about how people can drive up prices. Man, that would really suck though if the same people are doing it for certain artists...
I wonder how much these will go for in the end as I think they were still available on POW before they shut down?...

snakes, you may want to arm yourself with some knowledge before making any predictions. These are all different and the reason one may go for lower prices is because of the particular piece. This is not to discount the fact that the first one sold on eBay usually goes for a lot higher price than subsequent sales.

Doubt it. There's only 30 owners of these and only a small proportion will want to sell. Can't imagine we'll see many more. Not that I have or want one BTW.

Over a grand, why?, by jonpud on Jan 26, 2008 21:07:10 GMT 1, i was shocked 2 see the pete docherty being offered as a swap for a banksy s&s i mean its f**king s**te, theres no way that u could think it was good, a junkie's scribble, its 2nd year school art standards What's that got to do with Bast? Why 'shocked'? A little dramatic to say the least mate. If someone is a Docherty fan and has a S&S they would like to swap for it why shouldn't I offer it up?
I would guess that as an investment the Docherty self portrait will piss all over this particular Banksy in years to come! Do you really think this is worth anything because of the quality of the art? Ofcourse it aint, it's all about the person who drew it and his place in musical history!! You are welcome to an opinion, but try and be a little more open minded, see the bigger picture!!
