this seems to have been a bit of a bargain.

Freak due to time of year - some cracking Banksys knocking about.

[jam]

I was watching that one as I would like to have a nice priced QV. The problem with this deal is the seller already sold the print awhile back and traded feedback with the 'buyer', so the sale stinks of shilling or flat out fraud and I didn't like the private auction either.

Damaged print, near Christmas... bargain? hmm, not so much.

[pastiepie]

Pretty dodgy how he doesn't mention any of the obvious damage but still lists it as new in tube. If the crease wasn't above the number and on the opposite corner you'd be in for a nasty surprise upon delivery.

..best left alone methinks..

Agree, definately a sketchy auction, how can the seller have two of the exact same print? Also, feedback was left by the buyer of this one within just a couple of hours of this auction ending -

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130177419269

So unless they picked it up almost immediately, arrived home, logged on to eBay and then left feedback straight away, something doesn't add up.

I think the nail has been truely hit on the head re the QV. There seem to be a lot of Banksy auctions going up a number of times, sometimes because of non payment, but shill bidding is a definite factor

[rusty1986]

applause just went for 535...thats cheap, no?! 130178572821

maybe we are seeing a drop..

[ambasidor]

thats a massive drop, they where holding steady at 800 until a few weeks ago!

[corblimeylimey]

On the other hand the last two Grannies to sell went for £800 & £871 pretty high IMO.

the guy who was selling this print had a bunch of other auctions which did not meet reserve prices. It seems like nobody was willing to take much a of a crack at any of them. Prices do seem low accross the board

[RBK]

Prices for a lot have unsigned have dropped over the past few months. If you are just realizing this you've missed most of the lull.

People are broke because of the upcoming Holidays and saving up their shekels to spend at SG.

I think the Dec. 12th auction at Sothebys is going to be telling. I don't think you will be seeing any price dips there.

[RBK]

The same pattern happened last year Oct/Nov/Dec also btw

[corblimeylimey]

Pretty low in Jan/Feb as well if I remember correctly

[Rude Copper]

i dont think there's so much of a dip, more of a restoration to correct level after the andipa show. imo, that was the show that blew the prices through the roof.

yep last year around christmas i picked up cnd soldiers and IFTL for under £550 each and CWS were going for about £4000-£5000, girl with ballon about £1200 and a soup can went for about £600....you could pick up a flag for £300 too.

it did,
i remember nu buying a signed gwb for 2k, 4 months later after la, it was 6k, 6 months after that, andipa put one up for sale for 18k, sold on the opening night,
there was a guy who bought 2 steel pieces from the la show for 12k, andipa sold them for 42k,
la was definitely the start of the rollercoaster, but andipa put a few loops & corkscrews in it.

[Run Pig Run]

i thought you'd gone scouser for a minute there la.

[Rude Copper]

lol ,la!
