What do you reckon it'll go for? The only version in private hands and the estimate is circa £50m. I think it'll go for more and guess £90m. I'll send a packet of Haribo's to the person with the correct/nearest guess.

    It's a copy but was made in the same mould and painted in the same factory used for the real ones but with different thread orientation in the canvas lay-up - the Haribo's are worth more.

    If it attracts the right buyer (oil funds) could reach 130-140 million US dollars-its not unique,copies -I`ll go for 135 then.
    Whats the solution? Just pedal faster you baby.

    Given the price I'm paying for diesel right now, if it does go to oil money, I'll guess £95 million.

    110mil, it passes the landmark century and re-defines its cultural value thus giving it more worth as an investment. - anyway thats the bid i've put in + 2 extra eccles cakes. :D

    It is unique. There are 4 versions. This one, a pastel, has the figures in a different pose. What's the matter with coins of the realm???? Are you guessing $135m at today's rate or on day of sale? Your not getting those Haribo's by default!!!!!!

    There are 4 versions, all named The Scream, but they are all different. I therefore maintain each one is unique and not a copy of the other. It is the only one in private hands and will probably be the only one to ever come to market. That's why I think it'll be a lot higher than the £50m.

    My little un can do something like that with her crayons - anyone want to bid on her recent attempt? I will settle for hmmm let me see, a weekend babysitting whilst I go out and do some pedaling?
    It does'nt convey the scream I felt when she attempted pushing the cat into the washing machine, or when HMRC lost my self-assessment form and sent me a £100 penalty notice...or when my brand new Record carbon rear shifter went over the first gear and into the rear wheel 'cos I was too excited and forgot to adjust that little screw...or when... cont.p94

    It's just lovely to see a Munch, any time. He's been high among the most important of all artists to me for as long as I can remember, and I'm always delighted to look at him again. I've never quite loved the "Scream" era pictures, relatively speaking, but they're still magnificent. Thanks for reminding me.

    I don't give a damn how much one money-grubbing grotbag pays another for it, but I quite like haribo so I'll say 84 Mil. (It's the answer to life the universe and everything but twice as true).

    £72.3 million I reckon, will go to a buyer in Shanghai who will put it up in the downstairs loo.

    Is it the one which was nicked before. That was insured for £100 million according to the red tops so probably not that accurate.

    I ll go for 175,000,000 euros ( if im right can I have tangtastic haribo's)

    Right, that's it. If anyone want's these sweeties you'll have to guess in sterling. I can't be asked converting, I'll have a picture to hang :wink:

    The auction is in New York so I imagine they'll be dealing in dollars.

    $185m to someone in Asia is my guess.
