Thank you very much to Chester,
Me and wifey had a lovely evening 😉

Was nice meeting some members too.

Got some catalogues to give away.
Stay tuned.. 😊

Nice to meet you this evening londonboy.

I was impressed by the quality of all the prints on display, all good quality

As singerStu said,
Lovely collection of prints

And it felt more like a Banksy print show than a posh auction show .
Good vibes!!!😊

Go there while you can 😀

Would love a catalogue if someone has a spare.

I popped in last night to take a look. I would strongly urge anyone considering bidding to inspect the pieces in person lots (not all) had creases, marks so satisfy yourself on the condition before bidding. I'm not sure if bidding subject to removal from frame is an option but it's how I'd insist on bidding.

daniel3886 condition reports are available for all of the lots in the sale, all you need to do is ask lol!

[daniel3886]

I Wasn't making any accusations and I'm sure the condition reports are very thorough. If you're attached to the sale in some way maybe you can put people's minds at rest, mine included. Tell us what would happen in the event of a print being examined out of the frame that is found to have significant issues/damage?

[DrWhite]

I've always believed that when you buy at auction it's "sold as seen" with no comeback for the buyer.
Having said that I've seen some prints which were flagged up on here as being poor condition- sell and be sent to graham bignell & be returned in perfect condition
Some defects on prints that have been poorly handled iare to be expected- but it can be rectified quite easily.
Banksy buyers are obsessed with "MINT" condition prints - when they then look at other artists prints from 35+ years ago such as Warhol & Haring & Indiana they expect these also to be in "MINT" condition - it's getting more difficult to find these pristine examples.

[Pattycakes]

All auctions worth their weight in salt allow you to request to see lots out of the frame, as I said all you need to do is ask. I make it a matter of point that any lot I am viewing in an auction I ask the house to take out of the frame for me to inspect. If they won't do it then I won't bid simple as.

[daniel3886]

It seems like inspection out of the frame is a given for most auction houses. Although as the Dr pointed out that work is "sold as seen". I look forward to seeing how things go.

[Pattycakes]

Auction houses expect buyers to satisfy themselves with the condition of the work, hence the provision of condition reports and the ability to view in person. If things have condition issues then this surely is taken into account by the buyers and the amount they are willing to pay?

I buy a lot at auction and when I buy something with condition issues it's either because I know I can get them fixed, or because it doesn't bother me, but I bid accordingly in the knowledge that I may have to spend X to get things fixed.
