Anyone got a spare one for sale?

[aj]

Just sold on the bay for £959. is that normal price?
I would have thought £1200 +

[aj]

I don't own one btw, but would def pay under a grand for it.

Or any banksy come to think of it.

[aj]

I agree aj 959 is quite cheap. but maybe with all the fakes going around, people are buying with caution!

[aj]

Shut it aj what do you know?

[craigf]

I think you may be losing the plot!

I was watching this one, but got tied up in family stuff (plus really shouldn't buy anything more at the moment). I was trying to get an IFTL around six months ago, but was only willing to pay £900 so kept just missing out by one bid normally or about £50 - £70. At this price it seems they haven't moved up since then which is strange considering what some of the other prints are now commanding (although it could be a one off)

Yeah I don't really understand I love this print I'm hoping to get mine to the framers soon. It must be a mistake even Applause has seen prices reach over 1000.

Perhaps prices are coming off the boil a little. Last couple Toxic Marys have been quite cheap

PM'd

Just saw this so I am kinda having second thoughts but lets talk/.

[guggi]

I know it's not really a realistic guide price, but I popped into Art Republic yesterday and they had a framed 'I fought the Law...' for £699 and it wasn't even signed!

I'd be interested to see what tag they'd put on a signed one ;D

ArtRepublic seem to charge a massive amount more for a picture to be framed People get a bit pissed off when they realize that they can sometimes buy the same print unframed for 1/4 direct from POW ;D

[guggi]

too right, and their framing is pretty shoddy too. All the frames and mounts are the same, they never take the time to actually try and compliment the work they are trying to sell.

And don't even get me started on the bloke who runs the place.....

[dill]

Thing is about art republic is that they are essentially a shop/ gallery, and shops have to sell things for more than they buy them for otherwise they go out of bussiness. They obviously can't sell POW stuff at the same price as POW..how could they? There shop is in the very centre of Brighton I would imagine their rates and lease cost a fortune.

I am biased obviousy because know them, I get on very well with Lawrence the owner, he started me on Banksy collecting in the first place, and recently framed me a print for absolutely nothing.

Addmittedly they only do one type of fram (metal) but I think the quality is absolutely top notch. They use acid proof mounting board, special mounting tape from japan, and they offer uv glass if you want it. The metal frames are bollted at the mitred edges making them extremely strong. I can't imagine what there is to complain about in terms of the quality of their framing. And at £95 for framing Jack and Jill their price is fairly similar to other places, and probably a lot cheaper than most places in london.

And on top of that I have fallen in love with all the girls that work there...(specially the little Itallian one!)

So I guess well have to disagree on this one ;D

[dill]

P.S. The £699 a is not the price for just the print it's for the print And the frame..and cos it's I fought the law, it's quite a big frame

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, the girls that work at ArtRepublic are very nice

Yep, they are a very helpful and well organised. I got my very first ever picture from them while I was at a London to Brighton Mini run must be about 4 years ago now.

The Itallian girl with the tatoos is great... and even her name is unbelivable...she is called Fanny (I"m serious!)
