Hello All,

As the title of the thread says, I am looking to buy a mint condition Banksy White Nola with supporting COA.

I am based in London and can meet face to face to do a quick cash transaction if required. 

Please get in touch via PM if you are interested in working out a deal. 

Cheers,

Stevie

Wow your flipping 8k Nolas like they are banksy time out posters!!! Online gallery?

[DrWhite]

Ok, thought you were missing Nola on your wall! A good friend picked one up in a private deal, outside the forum last week.  Your going to struggle to get another.

[iamzero]

Wow this forum really is just for galleries and flippers now. Anyone want to start a breakaway forum that just has real people on it. Get on it Silky.

I've dealt with nothing but great people so far yielding flawless transactions that I couldn't be happier with. I wouldn't change a thing. Deal with whom you are comfortable with. Love this forum!

.......me too, i think iamzero was referring more to the amount of money involved with some of the more expensive transactions (or rather asking prices rather than actually sold prices) on here?, personally if i like something that costs a penny i would still have it on the wall and more if i can afford it.

Yeah the sites being infiltrated by online galleries and people wanting to push their teddy riots up to £2500

When the forum 1st started there were no sales transactions allowed of artwork.  One of the biggest early moral dilemmas was to allow or not allow commerce between forum members to be conducted through .info.
The arguments on both sides were very convincing.  The real issue is it seems recently that people who know more about money than art are seeing that stolen uncertified walls by anonymous street artists are fetching 1.1 million dollars at auction and are salivating at the opportunity to get it on the supposed art gold rush of the 21st century.  The forum is still a great place to lurk, participate, buy & sell but it does seem that a bunch of 1st time posters are only focused on sales and the potential financial benefits that our community may bring "Caveat Emptor".

I don't remember any such thing! People have sold artwork here since day 1.

Like Prescription Art, I have no recollection of this.

Source?

I remember when all this was just fields

[skynet]

Definitely not making it easy for private collectors/admirers to buy art here from fellow collectors.

That's coz you're Welsh fella... (I think ... that's all there is out there, isn't it.

[iamzero]

I have a friend that collects trainers and jackets. On the forums he visit no one is allowed to trade for the first year, members have to be vouched for and flipping is just a no go area.

[Quinnster]

You have to remember this all started form an eBay group that was full of flippers and traders.
If a gallery wants to buy and someone wants to sell then its not a problem.. That said they do try and take the piss with there buy low sell high prices, but they tend to get forum justice in the form of posts spamming there threads.

I see their side of that model but I believe this forum self regulates just fine. I don't think UAA needs to "child proof" selling and buying since any reasonable person can see the general market price for what they are after. If anything making such restrictions just limits the availability of pieces for sale IMO. 

[iamzero]

It just pains me to see galleries looking to buy from here and by and large over inflating prices by sitting on work at high prices. Scum bags selling to fancy London art investors, crawl off back to pumping your money into wine and gold.

That forum might have been hosted on ebay, but it was predominantly set up to stop people being ripped off / scammed by fake Banksy works being sold on ebay. People obviously did buy & sell work, but it was mainly populated by Banksy fans & collectors, and a few people close to Banksy who were able to unofficially authenticate his work. I for one bought a Queen Vic canvas for £200 that i thought was genuine, only to find through that site that it was a knock off. 'Flipping' wasn't really an issue back then as there wasn't a lot of profit in it! The first time a banksy print sold for £1000 was met with complete disbelief.

This site has always been a far more overtly commercial offshoot of that site, whereas most of the ebay forum members gravitated to Wallkandy, which has obviously now closed down.

Will echo this as an early member. And good fun it was too!

[stevieray101]

Erm... yeah so PM with offers then...willing to go up to £9000 cash for the right deal.

Also for the record I am not a gallery or a flipper, check all my previous posts on the forum. I have recently sold my Banksy collection and was looking for another Nola for a genuine collector. I know people will be cynical on here, but that's the truth.

A bummer I got into the scene a bit late, those days sound like a hoot.

Haha.. Been living past 10yrs in Sydney, love the beaches but yes miss the fields mate and the sheep are more aggressive over here, probably the heat!!!

Apologise if going over old ground? It may be more work for the mods, but is it possible to keep the for sales posts permanently in the 'art for sale'section? Or is it too hard? So these posts don't appear on the recent posts section. Then it's up to person if they want to view what's for sale in the art for sale section. Could do the same thing for 'art wanted' also..
