Wow, do we get a lot of pressure from people, as to why nothing is happening in our trading challenge!

Let me put it this way: A lot is happening. But some people who are making offers do not want the offer to be published. Which is a pity, but fair enough. We also talk to people about our trading adventure and we’re keeping our eyes and ears open for opportunities.

The thing is that while we are willing to trade, we’re also very picky. You all know how it is. If an artwork doesn’t really convince you, you hesitate. And if in doubt, you don’t buy. It’s the same with trades. It’s only natural therefore that we don’t make a trade every week.

But what can we do to make this adventure a bit livelier?

I could repeat that we’re currently offering a multiple by Günther Uecker and a very rare and beautiful edition by Jonathan Monk for trade. But I guess you all know that. I for my part expected Christian to get a number of offers for his Monk, now that’s the only one available. I was holding myself back to give him time to catch up, and to see in which direction he is going. Maybe I shouldn’t have done that? Maybe I should make him an offer? I’m almost 100% sure he wouldn’t trade it for anything in my possession, though.

Here is what we’ll do: Christian and I will actively pitch the works to a few people now; let’s see what happens.

And to all those who “complained” about the lack of activity here: I dare you to make an offer we can’t refuse. How’s that for a challenge?
