Hi all,

I'm looking at either trade+cash (minimum 50% cash) or cash only for my U/S Barcode. UK based, happy to face-to-face. Like a Watson ER, or another Banksy fyi.

Details:
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 £250, 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.
Mint so far as I, PC/POW and my framer could see.

Looking at achieving value of £5k+ but for the right combination of cash + trade I may be persuaded to do a deal.

Thanks for looking.

IMO i think you pricing is over by about 1300£ at 5k i might be wrong just saying mate.
id try 3.5 to 4k at a push.

like i said just MO

[Mattmoo08]

good luck with it tho what ever happens

[minibear]

Thanks Matt. As one just sold @€6,500 (€8,100 incl buyers premium), I think this is priced right. Fair even, for the forum I think. Are you saying that it's over valued for this forum, or over valued in general?

This print is only going to keep on this upward trajectory because of the quality and rarity. Most people here would say it's one of their favourite ever Banksy prints, and a full-on classic.

same auction that had a Ludo sell for 39,000 euro.

I don't put much stock in the results there.

[Mattmoo08]

I was offered a BC about 3-4 weeks ago for 3750£.

You ask what you want dude my opinion was based on my offer thats all.

Everyone has there own likes and dislikes as you know.
I turned it down because i don't get it and would Rather spend the best part of 4k on something that is more to my liking.
The price will keep going up yes but how much and for how long who knows.

Markets move philw, I say good on US Barcode for getting a public appreciation of it's value. Signed gained a record last year too, so US was bound to move up too.

I am certain you'll be waiting a fair few years, if ever at all, to pick up a mint BC for less then £5k. That's imho of course.

I'm sure you're well aware at how funky this forum can get, and I know for fact there has been a user, who I won't name, trying to sell a BC they don't have whilst trying to lowball every BC on here. So I wouldn't be surprised if your offer wasn't even legit. Unless you're talking about a offer outside of these boards?

[Mattmoo08]

Was an offer from a non forum member mate.

I'm aware of one unsold @£4.3 and I know the reason why it wasn't sold. Since the auction you'll be very very lucky to get that one also for less then £5k now.

And no worries about the chat, it's all good.

And to clarify, I don't believe there is anything wrong with the BC on at 4.3, I've not even seen it. I meant that I believe the seller was awaiting the sale of the BC at auction too before selling. I believe the 4.3 is no longer being sold at 4.3. You'd have to enquire with the seller of its new expectations.

[Deleted]

if it didn't sell at £4.3 what makes you think he will get higher now on the back of one result?
also hangup selling one at £4750 and thats retail ….

[minibear]

And it's probably 599/600. I'm sure HU will be increasing the price within a few days DrJimmy, I saw they did after the signed went hit a record last year.

Stick it on eBay pal at a 99p start, then we'll see what true market value is....

'credible market value' on ebay? I assume that was just a flippant comment, as you obviously haven't followed many print sales on the bay. God loves a ebay relisted item.

Your barcode will probably remain unsold if you won't budge on price.....fact

I will budge on price and have made the addition of accepting part trade for this item so it's more manageable for someone to get something they really want. I've just not had a respectable offer anywhere close to asking. Lot's of people still handing around the £4k mark, which is fine if there's a trade on the table too, but not £4k value. Not for me anyway.

[beenrhymin]

sold for 8,000 euro at Artcurial 2 days ago... i think he's right on target with price...

If a suitable trade+cash offer comes in from the boards I'd be willing to sell this one privately. Looking to do a deal by this weekend though.

Spread the word please
