Then may I politely suggest that you don't spend your time on a forum that is full of and dedicated to the people who buy these posters regularly. Find something you are actually interested in and spend your time constructively.

WHY PAY SO MUCH, by Run Pig Run on Dec 10, 2007 11:48:39 GMT 1, i think anything over £100 is too much, but if you have the money and buying prints is your passion then why spend the money on anything else.

Yep... most I've paid on any print is for the colour trolleys and that is £300 odd more than any other... still, to get a signed Banksy nowadays undoubtedly the cheapest way so worth the extra few quid.
I would dearly love a Dface lenticular (or even something Dface) but the price puts me off, likewise with so many other artist's work. That said if I had the cash spare, I don't think the fact it was a print would put me off specifically... it would come down to whether I liked it and whether I thought the particular print was worth it, edition size, artist, quality etc.
I don't think anyone (ok, there are probably a few lottery winners, easy come, easy go) parts with any money, especially £3k (that's a couple of mortgage payments in anyone's world), without a certain amount of consideration whether it be a print, original, car, bike, boat, kitchen, bathroom, shed, whatever.

IMO anything over £100 needs to be thought about carefully, but £300 - £500 would be my limit.
At the 12 Days of Xmas show there were loads of really good originals some less than £100, but lots between £100 - £300.

WHY PAY SO MUCH, by andrewd on Dec 10, 2007 15:55:39 GMT 1, I believe you should buy what you like and what you want. Whether the price rises we have seen in 2007, and I am talking across the board are sustainable we shall see. We all know that e.g POW print edition numbers are very high compared to the norm in the art world. It was only two years ago that the consensus ( mainly outside this scene ) that £1,500 for a Banksy Kate was silly money. There are now several artists asking a grand or upwards for a not so limited edition. Best of luck to all concerned but one of the effects this is having is to push up the prices of just about every artist on the scene. This means that new artists are charging high prices for original pieces of work. This stops alot of people who got into the scene by buying prints of even being able to own originals by up and coming artists. ( Good to hear what CBL says about the 12 days of Christmas show though ) Over the weekend I saw a reworked pop art piece with a degree of merit. The artist IMO isn't going to set the world alight but I liked this particualr piece and I would have happily taken it home for £500-£750. As it was the price tag was £3,000. Someone else may well think that is what it is worth. Just my thoughts, what do others think about the way it's all going. To an extent IMO there is an element of unjustified prices in the general contemporary market. I am just concious that we don't want to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
