Should have gotten the Harland Miller tiwifa, lets dance and lets fuck too. Not because of the price hike but because they truly are fantastic.
And also... damn too many to count

Garry Simmons - untitled gouche and chalk on paper. ย 28"x20", sold at Phillips for $4375 back in 2008. ย  Dash Snow - paper collage, 13"x10", sold for $6875 back in 2009. ย P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N.
I bought a bast from Marsea a little over a year ago and this one was still available. I don't remember the price but it might be worth contacting her if you're interested.

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by Ponyboy Curtis on Sept 8, 2017 10:24:55 GMT 1, Sold a Lister Superman and instantly regretted it. So I bought another one a few months later for half the price I'd sold mine for! Now framed and on the wall. Should have bought a Stik by now and a few more Invaders (a have a few but always loved his work and should have more).

What do you REGRET Selling, Buying or Not Buying, by kuni on Apr 17, 2019 13:47:38 GMT 1, I thought it might be interesting to hear about the pieces that got away aka the one's you slept on, almost purchased but passed on, went hard for but were outmaneuvered on, the one's you sold right before the artist took off, and the art you still think about how you almost had.
Two come to mind for me, but neither of them really keep me up at night, and I'm sure there are much better stories out there:
1. Oli Epp's Carpe Diem. Thanks to this forum, I learned all about Epp and was excited about his first print release. If I'd been on my game I would have picked one up at release, but forgot all about it (I think I was out of town). By the time I realized it, it was too late. I would have loved to have Carpe Diem on the wall.
2. I was purchasing a POSE print from a forum member, who mentioned that he was also selling Kaw's Presenting the Past for what now would be considered a steal. I didn't have enough dry powder to purchase it, so I reached out to my brother and we were going to go in on it together. After much debate, we passed on it, and couldn't justify spending the $6k or so that he was asking. Whoops...
Again, I'm not loosing any sleep over of these, but they're all that comes to mind. Anyone have some stories about the one that got away?

Holy crap, it doesn't get much more regrettable than that! Unreal. Did you just pass on it? Too much to spend at the time?

It's about going out there and looking at as much art as possible.

There are a ton of artists with originals still at a reasonable price, and less than prints from many of the artists discussed here. I love seeing what Jonni Cheatwood is doing, I know one of the forum members recently picked up a canvas from him. Kind of reminds me of Eddie Martinez. I also like Brandon Lipchik, who I discovered following Oli Epp on IG. I've inquired about a canvas from Brandon and they're not totally out of this world price wise. But yeah, I feel like local art shows and instagram are the discovery tools for me.
