There's a few floating around being sold at cost on here, so you should be able to grab yourself one still.

... but there is one I am now happy I missed: Adam Neate 'The Hug'. ... because you don't like it (did you see it in person?) or because it turned out later that it isn't flippable? No pun intended. I'm just curious ... |

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Ponyboy Curtis on Aug 8, 2014 14:28:01 GMT 1, I should have kept the email from my wife in 2004 or so saying "I'm not having that hanging on my wall" when I suggested spending a couple of grand on 3-4 signed Banksy. Silly cow.  (and silly me for not trusting my instinct).

She will of course, totally deny saying such a thing and if you bring it up, it will have been you who ignored her good advice to buy them.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by thriftypix on Aug 8, 2014 15:07:54 GMT 1, Ravi Zupa at Black Book Gallery.
Once I saw the email announcing the online sale (about two hours after it was sent  ), all of the pieces I really loved were gone. A handful of others were added over the next couple of days, but none really grabbed me or else were just too expensive. Ah well, next time.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by daveart on Aug 8, 2014 18:59:37 GMT 1, we all know Banksy was cheaper back in the day.. mind numbing opportunities were missed.. of course.. are you sure you would have kept it when it went from 200GBP to 1,000 GBP .. or would you have sold out. i wonder how many are really left with the original owner to have gone from 40GBP to 5,000 GBP or what have you. pretty rare i would guess.
anyway, one moment was kind of funny moments for me ..
-A big gallery in London - when inquiring on Banksy maybe 10 years ago.. sent me a multi paragraph email as to why Banksy was not worth the investment and they were steering their clients clear of this impending debacle.. umm.. thank you for the staid advice .. so glad i didnt buy that signed banksy i was looking at..

I think there are quite a few members on here who bought at original prices.. I met a guy who split from his misses back then in London, then he got his own apartment and wanted to buy some prints. He went into pow, liked the images and bought quite a few signed including barcode, he still has them i think. Back then a few must have been thrown out with the rubbish? How long did his first print releases take to sell out?

I went to that unauthorised Banksy show in NYC around December of 2007; that was right around when I first started getting into him, I was 20. Their prices were insane, even at the time, with nothing below $5,000 for unsigned and $12,000 for signed. I think they were just being obnoxious.
Apparently Bethlehem was happening at the same time, but I definitely didn't have 2-3k to spend being in college. Literally didn't have 2-3k haha.

Same thing with whytes in dublin, a client was down there with some traditional bits to sell and told the auctioneer hed bought a banksy, he replied thats just a fad going nowhere etc etc. Low and behold not long after he was selling off taylor gallerys stock after liquidation including banksys, they were the star of the show....i wonder has he had a rethink |

I always wonder how many old Banksy prints have been thrown away/destroyed. Started a thread about it, but it didn't really go anywhere.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Karl Read on Aug 9, 2014 9:25:34 GMT 1, Apart from a ton of Banksys not far off of original cost back when I was a student and "needed" the money to get pissed.
An unsigned GWB for 3k about a year ago.
A few years ago I passed on an Mujer Fatal HPM on wood by shep, for 3k.
A passed on the elms lesters Jose parla screen prints which I instantly regretted.
I'm sure there is more.

I don't sell a lot of art โฆ but i have sold a few pieces that i would really love to have back (at original sales price of course!)

Will people have the same regrets in five years time when not buying Banksy prints at todays prices ?
Warhol prices are high because it's alledged some mega rich guy went round buying them all up and manipulรขtes the market in Warhols.

Usually it's the big money men behind the artists success that manipulate the market.
