Yeah, If you make some money on a spare, it gives you more money to spend on some more. POW don't miss-out as the profits that people make on ebay get spent back at POW Everyones happy

"Fans" We are open to suggestions with the forums name, shall we drop the Fans bit and just be "The Banksy Forum" ? ? ?

[monochrome]

fans, admirers, collectors, dealers, pimps... pimps is probably the best one

[Daniel Silk]

Thinking about it more not that many Banksy Print really do get put up for sale on ebay.

When you think about the numbers that are printed, I would say only about 15% get re-sold

[monochrome]

Personally I think Art Republic should be banned from selling the items on eBay until the item is sold out. I don't like them.

[Honest Jon]

I went in art republic just before xmas and a young guy in there told me that the Jamie Hewllete print was almost sold out and they where selling them at £120 unsigned so i went out and bought 2 from pow at the cheaper price and they are not even half way sold out? They are very over priced there and out for the money hense they were selling Signed Jack and Jill for £600 2 weeks after it was sold out, they put the price down but are oppitunists.

yeah, they just play on ignorance, by selling ones that aren't even sold out. what about grin reaper for £470!!

However, how hard is it for people to type 'banksy official prints' into google and hopefully find POW....

I cant believe the number of signed Jack & Jill's that are on ebay this week!

What do you think about the situation?

There's a lot of CND soldiers signed as well.

However as someone says later on, in terms of % made it's not many that get sold so fast. Anyway, if sellers flood the market they will see prices drop - oh I'll cry so much for them ;D

I have already seen some this week that have had reserves dropped, or completely abandoned, or simply not sell.....

Personally I would never shop there if that is the case. If they are seriously business orientated they will soon realise by ripping people off they won't get repeat sales, which to stay afloat in business is essential. Unless they are selling to idiots who don't know what to do with their hard earned cash, I can't see them being around for long.
POW seems to have got it right and i for one have only ever bought from there so far.

It is i'm afraid. People just can't be bothered to search out the official distributor. I have to admit it took me a short while to find the POW website, but I knew there must be an official distruibutor somewhere so knew I'd find it!

[spence]

Same here mate. If you Google Banksy now the first site to come up is POW, although a while back this wasn't the case. More fool the idiots i say.
Like i said though, once found, artrepublic probably won't get repeat sales,unless you name is Michael Carroll (idiot lottery winner) and know how to throw your money away. ;D

can he buy from his prison cell?

[spence]

Just read it ha ha ha idiot

[charliespeed]

I think that if people want to buy signed banksy and then sell them as soon as the signed print runs out thats their business. I personally buy my Banksy's as I love the graphics/message. I hang them on my walls and think they are wicked. I would not sell any of mine - who is to say that in 10 years some of my Banksy's might be worth 50k each? You just never know. I still wouldnt sell them even then as I will enjoy looking at them even more!

I would stop refering to people who buy Banksy's work as 'fans' though - he's not Girls Aloud!

That comes across as a bit snobbish.

I own a few pieces so I suppose that makes me a 'collector', but I'd never call myself that because to me it sounds a bit poncey and elitist. If there's one thing Banksy's NOT it's poncey and elitist.

I'm a fan.

[Daniel Silk]

Thanks for that

I'm not sure what we are really

Collector - Sound like someone that whats to get every picture if they like it or not? ? ?

Fan - I'm not sure if its the correct word to use for art? ? ?

[kayray100]

I noticed that a signed J&J is on EBay now and so far (3 hours to go) selling for a lot less than most other prints. Is this just a less popular image? How do people feel about that one.

I bought the signed J&J and think it's beautiful, but it is interesting that it seems to draw less attention than many of his other priints.
Also,
mine doesn't have the yellow spots of color around J&J's feet - were there two versions of this one?
Thanks!

Nope............................

[sausageboonwee]

Great thread!

[bond]

Bit long tho! lost interest !!!

[corblimeylimey]

Signed J&J may still break the £5k barrier.





















Any guesses when?

[bond]

the way things are going i imagine within 8 weeks unless trollies appears.

Sothebys will probably give prices another push and raise awareness to the few people left out there who don't know Banksy ! -

[neutral]

Let us just wait for the Warhol/Banksy exhibition.
That should set the bar at 5K on the bay !

[ala399]

no maybe.... 6.7K, Trust me

[curiousgeorge]

I guess this will be relisted

[Michael Jacob]

Ebay 320124798151. Does everything look cool to you? What about the blind stamp going off the paper. The seller has no provenance. Any opinions are appreciated. I missed the last one and really want to get one.

[corblimeylimey]

No worries with the stamp, but why no provenance?

[ala399]

There are many talks of "provenance", but what is considered to be provenance? Ok, A full printed signed POW or a reputable art dealer receipt is clearly one. But would POW confirming the registered name to be provenance? Would you consider that on its own good enough?

Thanks

[Run Pig Run]

if they did it via email and the names matched yes. print the email out and hey presto you have your provenance. but obviously as with all POW provenance it can be faked in minutes.
