SHELL BLOOD FOR OIL ON EBAY, by mcnuts on Jul 13, 2007 18:47:20 GMT 1, And by the way, I do think that using the Iraqi money was a master stroke. Well it's not like it could be spent
on the ebay picture, there is a stamp that clearly says "counterfeit confiscated by" blah blah. So, am I wrong in assuming that this is not real uncut money but money some hacks in iraq were trying to counterfeit? So, real "counterfit" money? Regardless, the power in the paper is where it has come from (I assume for those who have it).

seems to me, the piece is to his m8. i would hope the seller would have asked beej first before putting in on the bay. if this is the case, its just like the guy, supposedly another starving artist, being given a cheque. all depends on the context imho.

Yes Beejoir will absolutely 100% definatly be at the show without one little shadow of a doubt!!
And whilst i know that Chris prefers his work to go to people who wont sell it on, I personally like flippers, without them i wouldnt have half my collection. I know its shit when you miss out on a 'must have' print and have to fork out loads more on ebay for it, but can you imagine how shit it would be if you missed out on a 'must have' print and that was the end of it, no chance at all to ever get your hands on a copy? that would be worse
As for the person who predicted £2000, i highly doubt it will get anywhere near that, everyone has showed their hands early on this auction, most people are already thining its too high already and there is no way this will out perform a signed LV in my opinion. It will slow down now, it might trickle over a grand but not much further.
Of course i could be wrong, i usually am

you could still aquire the print in the future, as people chop and change their collection and as such the secondary market is created. don't agree with people making instant 700% profits at the expense of a genuine fan. enough of us were aware of the print going on sale but chose not to get involved as it wasn't for us, could have chanced my arm but chose not to flip but be square (shout to huey lewis )

SHELL BLOOD FOR OIL ON EBAY, by Ågentßacardi on Jul 13, 2007 20:40:00 GMT 1, And whilst i know that Chris prefers his work to go to people who wont sell it on, I personally like flippers, without them i wouldnt have half my collection. I know its s**t when you miss out on a 'must have' print and have to fork out loads more on ebay for it, but can you imagine how s**t it would be if you missed out on a 'must have' print and that was the end of it, no chance at all to ever get your hands on a copy? that would be worse
You can look at it in another way... if flippers (the "I don't give a sh!t about the piece, I just want to turn it around for a quick buck even before I've received it" kind) didn't exist, then perhaps you would have been able to snag one for yourself when it went on sale, no?
Personally, I think the blatant flippers (the aforementioned kind) are a huge insult to any artists' integrity. They're totally using the artists' fame/skill/talent/ideas to make money for themselves. If I were an artist, it would be like saying to my face, "I don't care about you or your 'talent', I just want to make money off of you." That's like you climbing on top of my head and taking a sh!t.
But of course, I realize that's a very idealistic viewpoint, and the real world has many other variables, too many to consider in many instances. Flipping has a lot to do with the increase in value of artworks, and perhaps many artists wouldn't have gained as much recognition if flipping didn't exist. Typical double-edged sword, huh...
Just my two cents, sorry if it ended up being a rant ;D

Looks like I might have to spend a couple months rent in a few days on this. And yeah, hopefully the quick rise in cost on this is going to inspire other flippers to put theirs up too.

SHELL BLOOD FOR OIL ON EBAY, by Strange Al on Jul 13, 2007 21:52:43 GMT 1, Given that it now looks almost certain that the first SBFO listed on ebay is going to sell for over £1K, I feel compelled to re-post something I posted in a previous thread. These prices are totally obscene!
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Chris' work and think he's created some stunning images to date. It's great for him and SOS that things are going so well. Long may it continue!!!!
Though, when you consider what other art you can buy for £1,000+ it kind of puts things into perspective. For that sort of cash you can buy limited edition signed prints from some of the most famous contemporary artists in the world. For the same money you could buy a signed print by Hirst, Emin, Bridget Riley, Gormely, Moore, Hume, the Chapmans, Gilbert & George, Peter Blake or Terry Frost to name but a few. Artists who have been exhibiting for years, who have a long established reputation and whose works hang in the biggest contemporary galleries throughout the world. We often get into the debate about the stability of the market when considering Banksy's work. IMO I don't think it's the Banksy works that you need to worry about so much, it's the smaller artists in the scene that will really struggle if we do see some sort of crash.
If you can get a Beejoir work from the primary source - amazing!!! Though, I'd think long and hard before shelling out £1,000+ for a SBFO or Turin Scam. I know people say they don't care - they just love the images so much. Though unless you have an incredibly high disposable income, you can't buy art at £1K+ without some thought about residual value. Time may prove me wrong and in a few years a SBFO may sell for thousands. Lets hope so! Though that won't change the fact that I think this is crazy!

I really dont understand your point. if you tried to sell me a peter blake ciggerette packet print for £1000 or even £500 i would laugh in your face, they are shit (in my opinion) and i know the guy did sergant peppers, but i dont like his work, it aint worth nothing to me, i wouldnt waste £50 on a tracy emin print, or a or the chapman brothers
Your argument that the prices are obscence just because chris is a new artist is ridiculous, you are also assuming that people are buying for an investment. I have spent 10 grand on Beejoirs work in the last 3 weeks and i absolutely guarantee than none of it will ever see the open market again. For my money i got 2 fucking amazing originals, an edition of 15, an editon of 3, an edition of 10 an edition of 35 and one of 75. And what does it matter if an artist has work hanging in galleries around the world? Does that give them kudos to you? If you had 10 grand to spend and you could either buy the most amazing work of art you had ever seen in your life by someone you had never heard of, or an OK one by an artist who has work in the tate, which one would you pick?
The most sensible way to collect and to buy art is to look at the piece and decide how much you want it, and what you are willing to pay. I do not determine what i am willing to pay by any other standard than how much i want it. I like 21st century love by micallef, but i only like it enough to pay £3000 for it, so now i will never own it, i know that, i accept it. I know i could afford it if i was willing to pay £6000, but im not. You might look at SBFO and think you would pay £200 for it, i happen to think that beejoir is better than any other artist out there at the minute, so i am willing to pay more for it.
I do understand that you said 'unless you have a large disposable income', but surely people who dont have a massive income should think long and hard before spending £1000 on ANY piece of art. But if we must talk about beejoir in terms of investment potential, then i dont think anyone who buys any of his prints for todays prices has anything at all to worry about. These prints are not only super limited, but instant classics. Look at the LV, unsigned edition of 400, already going for over £200, so imagine what they will be worth when he gets a good agent and his popularity explodes.
my two cents

I know i could afford it if i was willing to pay £6000, but im not. You might look at SBFO and think you would pay £200 for it, i happen to think that beejoir is better than any other artist out there at the minute, so i am willing to pay more for it. I do understand that you said 'unless you have a large disposable income', but surely people who dont have a massive income should think long and hard before spending £1000 on ANY piece of art. But if we must talk about beejoir in terms of investment potential, then i dont think anyone who buys any of his prints for todays prices has anything at all to worry about. These prints are not only super limited, but instant classics. Look at the LV, unsigned edition of 400, already going for over £200, so imagine what they will be worth when he gets a good agent and his popularity explodes. my two cents
