Warning signs all around.
1) Pay ASAP (I'm a criminal)
2) Cash or money transfer (i.e. no way of getting your money back besides court)
3) The pictures are not consistent, i.e., not all taken in the same room, same background, same lighting, etc. (i.e., the pictures are lifted from sale threads or previous ebay sales)

Look at the Nola pictures.

Pic 3, unframed black surface
Pic 4 is framed with a black border

What are dips?

It's against eBay regs to only accept cash or bank transfer and there is a button to report such listings. Not on a phone though.

Bid on them and let us know !
We will be either kicking ourselves or wiping our brows !

Uh, it isn't glaringly obvious? The three top bids for each print are now from bidders with 0 feedback!

[Deleted]

Got a reply from her pretty fast.

she says all prints have COA and are registered to her name. I asked about the nola and why there was pics of it unframed and framed, the first two photos are of it before it was framed and the last photo is of it now.

she said viewing is welcome before auction ends and payment and collection would need to be by Sunday if that's the route your going.

defo seems legit to me

It doesn't matter. It's all over now, those auctions are screwed and if she genuinely really needs the money in a rush I feel bad for her as everything has already been sabotaged and some grumpy gus will report her for asking for only cash or bank transfer.

Highest bidder on nola has 80 feedback?

[Poster Bob]

Right now yeah, but don't you think it's really funny that right after this was posted to the forum all of the 0 feedback bidders shot up the bid prices by £5-6k?

2 zero feedback bidders they could of been the seller getting it to a level she's happy with, a reserve kinda thing 

[Poster Bob]

Yes, it could be that. My point is that either way, in the mind of a potential bidder it has been tampered with.

The items were only on ebay for a short while before i picked up on them.

No, they were up since about 11 PM last night. You posted them here and then within about 20 minutes the 0 feedback bidders were all over it.

[Poster Bob]

Since toast has confirmed that the COAs are in her name I seriously feel bad for her if this is a genuine fire sale. That is seriously unfortunate.

[dueuomo]

I think all three listings are now gone

Yeah they seem to have vanished, someones maybe made her an offer on all 3 and asked for them to be taken down, just a guess.

[Poster Bob]

If you can still see them in your eBay watch list but they are now ended then she pulled them of her own volition. If they have disappeared from your watch list ebay pulled them.

LOL, I was going to do a  but thought best not. I wish it was me, somebodys probably got a ridiculous price for the 3, hopefully whoever it is has some morals, wouldn't be right to take advantage, yes get a good price but hopefully not rip her off

No I did not buy them, I asked for pics of the COA and never got a reply, so way too dodgy for me. As stated previously, they have been pulled down by ebay due to violations, because they did not end, but disappeared completely.

[gatecrasher]

I'd guess that no-one puts Banksy's on the Bay with full registered COAs without a reasonable understanding of what theyre worth.

You might get a little less than somewhere else but equally your not selling your £13k Nola for £247

[wave]

If I was gonna put a high value item on ebay, collection and bank transfer (or cash) is a much safer option.

If its not as described, walk away and for a seller, no Paypal chargeback to worry about.

[Poster Bob]

It's not strange. It's a tactical maneuver. From what we've gathered so far you posted links for the legitimate sale of three signed works with full COA in the name of the seller. The seller asked for cash or bank transfer so the board vultures manipulated the auctions then reported them all to have them pulled down leaving her without any way to sell the pieces in time to pay off the mob from killing her. Now the board vultures are haggling her down so she can get that hit on her called off. I hope you're proud of yourself!

You missed "Once upon a time" at the start and "and they all lived happy ever after" at the end.

I assume you just made the rest up unless you know or are the seller.

All back up now……..

[Black Apple Art]

Very shady... only way this should even be considered is paying in person after a good inspection.
