Unfortunately the Rats are not in the entry level bracket matey, maybe IFTL is though.

Say what you are willing to spend to give sellers an idea?, 3k ish?.

Good luck searching.

[coller]

Agreed that rats are pretty far from entry level.

For entry level, you're looking at WSM, Golf Sale, Flags, and Grannies most likely.

[snoozy]

A ballpark figure of funds available would help, you may get interest that way and also surprised at a good offer, if you have 3.2 PM me.

I agree with this "entry level" list except I would put TM or HAND above Grannies...

I though entry level would be the unlimited soup cans print that was a tenner from PoW or that crappy petrol bomb one.

I think this is why we need a ball park figure....he may be after a sticker!

Will do, he hasn't pm'd though

I feel like both of those have gone up a decent amount recently.

They have gone up. All B editions have (for the most part). But IMO a Grannies is still more £$ than a TM and/or HAND...

Agreed - don't think I've ever considered this entry level 
(No, I aint got one ;-(

tm - toxic mary
hand - have a nice day...

is the forum - the place - in a word no/yes/take your time.

spend a while reading through how things work here - and you'll be more clued up.
jump in and spend your cash , and you may live to regret it.

you have a wide range of things to think about, i'm sure you'd not spend a k or more on a car without checking a few things out , right ?

oh and gone are the days of a rat for cheap.

i remember the auction on the bay of 3 for 1.5k .. and thinking that was ..expensive.

[chads007]

Maybe napalm too as EL

I've been doing research into my first purchase for a few months now and visited a few galleries to see them for real. A friend has a lot of sprayed banksys which really got me interested. The only reason I ask is ive not found anywhere like this forum where things come up regularly other than the bay of course. Thanks for the help

[Deleted]

I wouldnt think HAND would b entry level eithers. Havent seen too many for sale in recent times on this forum anyhow, but then again i havent been looking for it. Would still think it be a bit more than IFTL and a flags ?

no worries - if i'd been looking for months i'd know what hand and tm was...no offence / wit aside - you'll be fine - just take your time and ask advice before you put your foot down / in it.

ebay is cool - but as with here proceed with caution - and read other threads where people have been taken advantage of - you wish for...
a/ a print
b/ a real print
c/ a coa not in the above order.
d/ piece of mind

(dealers by from the bay as well - though not from newbies!)

as others have said in the past - there is room for error when buying a print with a coa .. even galleries have been duped in the past - nobody is perfect - a scammer is generally sharp / smart and sadly aware that demand leads to ... 'cutting corners' if you fit that bill you may fall down a hole.

scammers are also... spottable with enough detail - so ask advice !! (remember the vpn bloke ? ... funny)

..

(oh & be careful of people quoting refs from others who are in fact themselves .. tut tut).

thank you for the reponses. i am not too keen on the format of the HAND - would prefer something more square. budget you be under £3000 I think.

thanks again for tips and suggestions

[RoboJ]

Sorry for asking on this thread but if you get PMs of members regarding banksy prints for sale is there a proper way of finding out how credible they are other than waiting for a response from PC?

Shots from multiple angles of the COA/print, close-up shots of both (esp with the print out of frame), etc.

Forum references for people who have dealt w/ the user are also great - there is a 'good dealings' thread. Or you can search the forum for that username and see what comes up.

If they can pull those off, then the only caveat is likely that it could be stolen or purchased with a fraudulent CC. If the user has been on here for a bit and can provide those pics, then it's probably a safe bet.

I'd still wait for PC just to be extra safe myself, but the above should help eliminate most if not all scammers.

you'll not be after

Bomb Middle England | Weston Super Mare .. then.

think you're missing something there... buy hey - you're the buyer , right ?

SQUARE works... you'll be after NBG or I Fought The Law .. that's about it... right ?

narrows it down to I Fought The Law / u(nsigned) only... ? (I don't have one ... and don't know what they're worth..)

Seems like he meant "more square" rather than strictly "square." So I'm guessing a TM or HMV shape; simply not the long WSM/BME shape.

Shaped like that for 3k would be:


-Napalm (apparently, thought they went for more but recent sale was around that)
-Golf Sale (I know it's a 'classic;' just have seen some for 3k recently)
-IFTL

Some others I'm missing. There's that 3k Monkey Queen someone was talking about, think people are waiting on condition pics.

I was only joking yesterday, when I questioned GS being in the list!

Funny...Was looking for a 3k print and hardly any pms..when finally I got offered the WSM at 3k and agreed the seller disappeared..so unless you have something to sell FOR REAL at 3k please do and stick with the deal..

Catman 74 i sold one earlier in the year for > than that 3k.

whilst there are some good folks here - there are, i'd hazard, more of the sleeper / fakes types - which is a shame but that's life.

They've come here ( read been here a while..) for a punt - and the targets are... not surprisingly the buyers out there.

Hence my (and others.. ) .. occasional attempt to help keep some on the s & n

a fool and his sponnies ....

Well..it's just annoying wasting people time..but hey as you said..that's life..normally is the buyer who disappears but now the sellers have gone quiet..really weird..
