Banksy Barcode and bulk, by minibear on Dec 22, 2013 0:27:20 GMT 1, Hi all,
I may shortly need to sell what small collection I have, and hoping for some advice on the best way to do this.
COA'd Barcode is the centre piece, but I've got a new Dface, Beejoir, CH, Pure Evil and some other bits that I've listed on the site already.
Do you guys think it's a good idea to sell them all in bulk for one price? I want to raise as much as possible obviously (sorry, I know how uncouth that is to say here), but I also want to try to make sure everything sells.
Any advice from the community would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Banksy - U/S Barcode. Framed to museum standard, coa incl. Beejoir - Terror canvas white - bought from forum member. Brett Amory - Waiting #51 Brett Amory - Waiting #140 CH - Holy Smoke Dface - D*tail grey Dface - NWD print from final show at SS. Fin Dac - Belloloha Silver Fin Dac - Belloloha Gold MDS - Eyes - Yellow MDS - Eyes - Green
Pure Evil - Bastards AP - **SOLD** Snik - This is letting go - Aqua Snik - This is letting go - Ochra Tyler Stout - Drive OST double vinyl - Black Tyler Stout - Drive OST double vinyl - Pink

Check expresso beans for rough idea of prices. If you add prices you will likely get more people interested.

No not just you, they would not know a good print if it hit them in the face.

Banksy Barcode and bulk, by bigtlt on Dec 22, 2013 0:52:55 GMT 1, There is a lot that is way out of date.
It's the only place that has any kind of pricing database though, and is a good starting point for checking on prices. I'm sure people will correct any prices that are too far out too.

It's the only place that has any kind of pricing database though, and is a good starting point for checking on prices. I'm sure people will correct any prices that are too far out too. Yeah I suppose so, there is'nt a good updated database for sure, probably the best thing to do is just ask on the forum and you'll get a variant of answers, lowballers to drive down the price and highballers to drive up, get the calculator out and find medium Thanks, what would be the lowest gallery price for this piece then do we know? I've seen it trying to be sold at ยฃ8k for example at one gallery, although I'm aware that's not reflective of the current 'market' price.
Is it available anywhere for less then ยฃ6k or example?

Banksy Barcode and bulk, by minibear on Dec 22, 2013 2:15:27 GMT 1, Real productive chat on my thread, thanks guys. Can we stay on topic do you think? The selling of someones collection is hard enough to do without being derailed.
Had a couple of offers on PM for Barcode already, as was expected, and still waiting for some to put a price offer to PM. I'll deliberate on that piece and take my next steps soon. Any help on the other pieces would be greatly appreciated.
If nothing is forthcoming, the bay is where they'll be heading.
Thanks for looking

Banksy Barcode and bulk, by Dexter Bulldog on Dec 22, 2013 14:05:16 GMT 1, I wish this place was more like expresso beans Why not offer some transparency? Let buyer and seller record the prices somewhere publicly instaed of keeping it all a secret I sent op a number He has a different number. Why not just post all that here on this thread and then record the final sale number somewhere
Both numbers were above quinnster. I guess if op wanted them published hed put them here, but i dont get why people dont

Banksy Barcode and bulk, by minibear on Dec 22, 2013 14:19:21 GMT 1, I've received a lot of offers via PM, and there are 3 stand-outs currently. 2 in the high ยฃ4's and 1 solid ยฃ5k. If it's not bettered by Monday midday/early afternoon GMT, it will be sold @ ยฃ5k.
I hope that helps with transparency.
Few more details for all:
Numbered within the first 10% of the run (ie, below 60/600) Original owner from new, bought at Santas Ghetto off Carnaby St. Recently framed by GX Gallery at a cost of over ยฃ250, they handle a lot of Peter Blakes and know what they are doing. Museum glass, solid metal frame, acid free everything. COA in hand, obtained via POW/PC in March 2013. Kept in the tube since purchased and is mint so far as I, POW/PC & the framer could see.
Will personally deliver in London before Chrsitmas for a handover.
Any thoughts on the other pieces too would be appreciated.

Banksy Barcode and bulk, by minibear on Dec 22, 2013 14:38:34 GMT 1, thanks sivermyn. It goes to show how valuable being a member of a credible forum is, the buyers here should know that they are getting a properly framed up piece. I'm not a professional but that framing job looks a bit shady?

Banksy Barcode and bulk, by Lunch Special on Dec 22, 2013 16:28:17 GMT 1, Its not just the shady framing, its the 87% positive feedback that kept me away. I remember a forum member offering one up a while back at ยฃ2500 located in the states, and I can almost swear it was the same pic. Feel like that pic has been floated around for a few years now if I'm not mistaken.
Barcode is cool. Its an iconic piece. I'd much rather have a Laugh Now or a LIITA tbh, but no one I know that has one needs to sell or is in dire need of a kidney or another shareable organ

I said credible forum, which I believe it is after being a member for the past year and a bit.
I said credible forum after making a purchase or two with members here.
I said credible after receiving positive, un-biased and valued opinions too over during my time here.
And when I say credible unbiased opinions, I don't mean your comment to me on PM saying "You are smoking crack my friend. " after I reject your ยฃ2.5k offer which has been the 3rd lowest offer out of 17 I've had within 24 hours. Although I politely rejected and even said Thankyou to you for the offer, I will now ask if you would politely step off of my thread and try sharpening your teeth elsewhere. Unless you are of course interested in some of my other pieces.
Forum members will decide on my credibility themselves.

Well.... Because I think you must be smoking crack.
But hey if someone is dumb enough to pay that, you both will probably have a nice evening of smoking it together.

Banksy Barcode and bulk, by minibear on Dec 22, 2013 19:00:44 GMT 1, Yes. And I'm also informed that two sold at galleries for ยฃ5.5 recently, so there is certainly a market for this piece at this price privately.
I am surprised to have been able to achieve a solid ยฃ5k offer on this forum, as from my experience this is mostly suitable for trades and lowballer offers. But I think with the rareity of Barcode coming available on the secondary market, and the recent sales of 2 NBG's at over ยฃ8k, this piece is priced right for the current mood of the market and will be sold for ยฃ5k if no better offers.
Thank you for being involved in this too quinnster, and thank you for not being rude, selling off is hard enough without unnecessary negativity.

As long as the 2 involved in the deal are happy thats all that counts Can't be a huge amount of these knocking around now especially in that sort of condition which for an investor will make a big difference down the line.

I will be happy and I am sure the buyer will be too.
