Dear Collectors

Hoping someone can help me find out how rare my Swatch is.

I bought it as I really like David LaChapelle's work, however later was told by a friend that this version should not have gone on sale and was quickly withdrawn from the Covent Garden, London store. There is a crack/bullethole on Amanda Leopore's face

Basically I thinking of selling it and wanted some advice on how much I could realistically sell it for on ebay? It's never been taken out of it's box.


Thanks

Your withdrawn version and the original version have been sold for around $400 US on ebay. The withdrawn version may fetch $250-$300 US alone...

Thanks Stay Tuned

One more question. Would you recommend ebay as the best place to sell? Sorry I'm not a swatch collector, but moving apartments and decluttering before the move so any information much appreciated.

Thanks again

Angela

Yes, as it will not be easy to find a buyer outside of ebay. Unless you have any contacts to LaChapelle collectors etc.

Belated thanks for your help - the Swatch ended up moving apartments too, however have taken your advice and finally listed it as of today.

Many thanks
