Spot On.

Straight to the point, no fannying around. Either you want a price for it or you don't.

;D

[delotz]

Can anyone tell me exactly what they're like ? i've just bought 2 on ebay for £200 and i'm a bit concerned they're fake. Cheers

[ed]

Even the real ones feel like fakes. They are printed on card, and are incredibly easy to duplicate. If you search through threads on here you'll find a life times worth of reading on not buying them off ebay, especially without any provenance.

[Rude Copper]

if its the guy from romford, ask him outright, his ad is cleverly worded, but does'nt actually say that they are genuine, & he's sold quite a few over the last coule of weeks.

[Natas]

Look at the sellers past auctions in the advanced search button, if hes sold more than one start asking questions as the bay is flooded with fakes.

Hi all

Just out of interest, how much would an original Di faced tenner signed by Banksy be worth?

[RetroCanvas]

They have sold on ebay for up to £150 but you can normally get one for around £100 -- £115

Hope that helps

[RetroCanvas]

Saying that, the last couple on ebay went for around £90

[policeaware]

Never seen a signed one sell on ebay but with good provenance and some form of written proof it should surpass the normal run o the mill unsigned tenner privces.

Hi
Thanks for the replys, i have the hand written envelope from Banksy that it came in, i got it for my nephews birthday and there's no way he'd part with it but i wondered if i should insure it at all?
thanks

Signed envelope?? From Banksy?? Where did you get it from?

You are talking about the individual notes and not the print yeah?

[beejoir1]

Never seen that before!

Hi

All I knew was that my nephew (adam) is s a huge fan and his 18th birthday is coming up. Being a resourceful aunty, i contacted Banksy via email found on his web site. I said that i knew he probably got thousands of such requests but could he possilbly send me something to give adam. To be honest I wasn't expecting even a reply but a few days later I had one saying that I had a nice pair of emotional thumbscrews ( I did go on a bit in my request) and that, sure , he would send something.

Fair play, the next week I recieved an envelope with some pieces inside. I've since learnt that the upside down stamp is relevent in some way?! There was an assortment of stickers, a postcard of kate moss a la the marilyn monroe on which Banksy has very kindly wrote " for adam, from Banksy " and the £10 note signed in the bottom right hand corner in biro. I was amazed as I thought it was a real tenner until I looked closely (feel a bit of a numpty now that I know a bit more about him!). Anyhow, I've got them all safe until oct (the birthday).

I'm very grateful to Banksy and feel very lucky. I know that adam will love them and, now I know a bit more, will urge him to keep them as safe as I have!
Thanks again

[RetroCanvas]

You are very lucky. I wonder how many requests Banksy is going to get now. Loads of people are gonna start making up stories to get some free stuff.

I can't imagine what people will pay for what you have got put i expect that it is a lot. I hope he takes good care of it.

[mido]

great story! good on you banksy for doing that.


P.S. One of my Mum's dogs died last week. do you think banksy will sent her a nice card (and a few prints ) if I ask nicely?

[gm]

I stubbed my toe when I got out of bed this morning.

Can I have a canvas please?



Seriously tho, nice result bazz. I hope your nephew appreciates it ;D

[artistik]

What was that email?

because it isn't on his site anymore?

could anyone PM it to me?

[jam]

This thread is for photos only for framed DI-FACED MONEY prints. Rather than spending all that time looking for examples of a this print framed up... you can see and post examples in this thread! This will allow everyone on the board to have a look at what other people have done with each print to see how different mats, frames, and mountings look for each individual print. This should be a good way to save time from searching all over, plus it will give you some nice ideas for your Banksy!

Feel free to add photos of your framed example in each of the appropriate threads, there is a "Framed" thread under each print listed in the 'Banksy Limited Edition Prints' section. To keep each thread manageable and on topic, please refrain from commenting. Also, remember to resize images that may be oversized so everyone can have a proper look at your framing work!

Re. the single card Di-faced tenners sold for £10 back in 2004.

They currently seem to be going for £225 - £300 on ebay. I have just bought one and it came with a letter of authenticity from TomTom. I wondered whether there are fakes about and how to tell the real from the fake.

Thanks

[graypaul4]

I have a whole sheet of them!
A friend of mine gave it to me he worked in the printers where they were made.

[wingdog]

How many were sold at Santas grotto?

This guy seems to be selling his 3rd one in less than a month.

Dunno how many were sold, but there were many thousands printed.

Funny story - They tried to use a leaf-blower to blast loads of them over the fence & into the crowds one wet Reading fesival, unfortunately the otherside of the fence was a toilet block

[Curley]

They were free flyers, i grabbed a handful and gave them to my friends other poeple seem think everything is worth selling (including their souls). However i'm not sure what it says about the people buying them.

What with him selling those and people charging £30 for two books you can still buy at POW for £10. It makes me sooo mad.

Off to calm down in a dark room.

[KaL976]

Oh cool, so you have a few spare & aren't in it for the money? I'd love one

[Curley]

sorry Kal, should have read that properly, im talking about the D*face tenners (flyers) that were at his show that people are now hawking on e bay for stupid money.

They were FREE!!!!!

[KaL976]

Indeed, tho I can understand people being prepared to pick them up for a few quid - crackin' image & I'd be lying if I said I hadn't just photographed a bunch of assorted flyers/stickers including that one for the kids to have a punt on - it is 1/2 term

As for the little books - if people are dumb enough to buy em off ebay without doing a bit of searching first that's not the really the sellers problem is it

[Curley]

I agree, it is buyer beware.

Its the b*llsh*t that they use to sell them that winds me up.
