Hi All,

I'm considering swapping my Nick Walker "Ghetto Ghost" for an U/S Banksy. I am looking for a Banksy Napalm, I Fought the Law, CND and possibly other older Banksy prints.

The Ghetto Ghost is #5 out an edition 30. This one was purchased from Randall Scott Gallery. It is hand painted acrylic on recycled archival paper. There is an artist logo stamp and edition number on front and it its titled, signed and dated 2007 on the reverse. I am the original owner and have full provenance. The piece is in mint condition and will be shipped flat in its original packaging.



If you are interested in a swap, please PM me. Thanks.

I can't wait to get my two ghetto ghosts from a certain forum member.....

that's a sweet one you've got there, man.

[rkitek]

Thanks. That's why I'm a bit on the fence about letting it go and only willing to swap for an older Banksy. They look good in the flesh, you'll be pleased with yours when they arrive.

If I can't get what I want, I just figure I'll frame it and be happy.

Sweet edition and nice example, ed of 30 GG's but all hand sprayed.

Half the edition to RSG & the others sold at his show at The Workshop, Bristol

[rkitek]

Thanks. You guys are making me re-think whether a swap is such a good idea. I'll just see if I get any offers and go from there.

I say keep it - 30 ghetto ghosts of which each is really an original vs. how many unsigned banksy prints?

I'm just hoping the seller didn't flake on mine - he's been on the forum recently (today) and hasn't responded to my emails for the past couple of days - all I need is his paypal address - I trust it will all work out for me though as he seems to be a well respected member of the community and I suspect is a stand-up guy.

ive also bought a ghetto ghost recently

gonna be very chuffed when i recieve it

[rkitek]

Alright, with all of this, I think I'll hold onto it for now. I'll be interested to hear what you guys think when yours arrive. Let me know.

[Simococo]

good move to keep it. Classic image

I'm so with you on this, I put mine on the bay but really having second thoughts now about letting it go

i think 8.5k would help get rid of those second thoughts though

[rkitek]

Maybe so, but that's a great looking piece.

[xhitsthespot]

If it was stuck in a folio or plan chest maybe it would be a little easier but it's been hung on the wall since I got it from Nick and I really love the work. I'll put my hand up and admit I was looking to cash in on the sudden price increases but I'm really not so sure now. Mind you I've got this one to compensate

[rkitek]

Well, now that begins to make some sense. That's a beauty. I've got this one to compensate, though it's a bit different animal:

[xhitsthespot]

Very nice rkitek

[rkitek]

Thanks, your is as well.

[romanywg]

Here's mine.

Well not really mine but everybodys ....... until it gets even madder and Nicks work starts being lifted too!

Where's the metal grinder. As soon as it gets dark I am going to put my hi vis jacket on and get over to bedminster via the triangle!!!

I think a lot of us are tempted to move some of Nick's work on because of the crazy pieces currently being quoted. £8.5K would definitely tempt me to take a punt as would clear most of my art related debts.

IMHO I cannot see these prices holding for long for simple reason that at these levels the market is at risk of being swamped by people trying to cash in, supply and demand. That said early Ghetto Ghosts are all classics and mine is going to stay on the wall although open to offers for Graffiti World box version.

I just hope 'de Baron' doesn't get it first. He's on another spree and has recked some commisioned murals around the corner.
T**t!

[becksaboo]

i've got number 1 and i love it just as much as my banksy so i wouldn't sell it so i think you've made the right choice.

[Filipino Box Spring Hog]

I'm sad to say, it looks like I won't be getting either of the two ghetto ghosts I purchased off Auction Saboteur - seller told me he's NOT backing out and the last I heard from him was nearly a week ago - completely unresponsive to my emails and pm's and he's been on the forum since so, I now know to stay away from this "respected" member - I'm not going to name names now but, I'm going to point out who he is when he tries to sell anything on here -

makes me upset - when someone agrees to sell you something they have for sale and then comes up with an excuse for a delay and then just stops all communication - at least he could have the nuts to tell me it's not going to happen.
