sold, by Coach on Jan 9, 2017 17:58:02 GMT 1, Crazy those posters are selling for so much when they can be so easily faked! Gutted I didn't pick one up before. Sooo many fakes of these on the market, I'd imagine most are faked and some are making alot of money from them. I've bought a few as decorative pieces in the past, all sellers said they were "legit" but each one was on totally different paper,and even varied in size slightly - if people want to pay 1k that's there choice but seems utter madness to me (anyone who will do so, let me get the printer on and warmed up for you) haha
There are also a lot if genuine ones out there. I guess the key is buying from a trusted seller. Not eBay.

Its a poster, on rubbish paper that has been faked 100`s perhaps 1000`s of times, if some feel its worth paying £1k for such a thing then good luck to them, no way id pay £1k even if i knew it was 1000000% genuine! - but thats the Banksy market for you, gets crazier by the day

I have sold my signed Stik Poster ( only 19!) for 600 quids here with profs of the authenticity as I wrote comments the same day on Don't Panic page. And other proofs anyway.. The Stik Poster - for a Poster - had a very good printing and quality paper .. I am sorry to tell , even if I like it, that the Banksy Tesc value was printed ...in a Tesco paper Maybe Banksy would that ?! Five pounds, not more. Then buyers, sellers and flippers made the price going high ! The only art that I regret to gave sell is the legend Clown skateboard sticker... this one was really a raritie. You can blame me now , I am an junkie ( hi ! ) and racing addict .... wines too ...

I think if Banksy really wanted these posters to still be selling for £5 he would have made it a unlimited edition and he would still be selling them now via his website. By creating limited editions and not selling anymore official posters, stickers, postcards, he has created a bubble in the values.
Personally I suspect that Banksy had no intention to cause any such bubble regarding the tesco posters. These were produced for a specific event. They are limited in number only because that's the amount that were made to support that particular event. On the other hand, the tesco soup can litho that was for sale on pow for £10'was sold for a number of years at that price. Hardly the actions of someone trying to create a bubble.

The Soupcan posters are the same in that they had printed a set number, and they sold out when they ran out of stock. As you say, that had taken a long time as the demand for Banksy work was low at the time. Both posters could still easily be for sale on the Banksy or POW website for £5 or £10 meaning they would never increase in value.

The prices for these “posters” is utterly insane, and the bag is a piece of 5hit frankly.
Each to their own what they put on their wall, but sticking literally anything up because it has some “official” link to an artist, regardless of what it is seems a bit desperate.
I sold my Banksy prints years ago (foolishly in hindsight) but I still have the POW emails from the purchases.
Free to anyone that wants to print off and frame.
