Yeah, I saw this auction. It seems a little strange that the seller didn't obtain a statement of authenticity from punkdaisy, rather than simply saying "i'm no expert" If they had, this would clearly have increased demand and interest in the print. Prints outside the AP and regular editions always make me gun shy.

Punkdaisy's not qualified to authenticate any Banksys whatsoever..

[sugarcane]

Good point. Perhaps "authenticate" was a poor choice of words. I guess that confirming the lineage and transfers of ownership would be more accurate. This dovetails with the other "Be Careful" forum thread.

New baby and partner taking 1 year off work forces sale of these 2! - bot purchased from POW - any interest?

[tranceport185]

[hugs]

[Run Pig Run]

I would probably pay a grand on near, but I wouldn't just pay a thousand pounds into the account of someone I don't know. where do you live?

[dgb133]

I see laugh now went unsold. Damn those reserves!

I know one or two of these sold for 2k last week. Everyone on ebay must have gotten their fix of this print for now. One of my favorites. I'd bid for 1000-1500. Oh well. Still holding out for flower thrower myself unless I see a great deal on something.

Anyone got a Flower Thrower? Will trade my unsigned Morons
If I was only smart enough to buy it back in 2006! Urghh! When will the madness end?

Yep... I was watching this one too. The two that sold were 2k and 1700. Both were sellers with very high and near perfect/ or perfect feedback. There was also a signed LN that was running at the same time which closed at 7300. Between that and the fact there hadn't been a LN on for a fair amount of time, I think that was why the two unsigned LNs closed at what they did. Good luck in the monkey hunt though, its a great print and hopefully I will get one soon as well!

[dgb133]

HOLY CRAP!!!

2550 for this ???unsigned??? Laugh Now?
Last one went for 1700 with reserve not met. Two previous went for 2k and 1.7k as Jam mentioned.

Cross another one off the list. No way I'd ever spend that much moeny on an unsigned Banksy.

Next.

Check the GWB out, it looks like it may break 3k for unsigned

[©hief']

A GWB went for 3.1K just a couple of weeks ago (110133730350). Thought that was just a one off. Will be interesting to see what the the one on there at the moment will go for

[pezlow]

This is getting crazy... When an unsigned print from an edition of 600 that cost less than a ton a year and a half ago fetches the price of a family secondhand car I just feel things have got a bit out of hand...

[dotdot]

Things have been getting out of hand for a while.

Not sure when or if things will calm down due to the
confidence people have in buying un/signed from pow
and selling - without redress.

The market in it's curent state is similar to the housing market.
Kind of like getting on the banksy ladder. (now there's a BAD thought) People seemingly are willing to do anything to get on.

As for prints like Laugh Now , Bombhugger WSM and BME well the market at this time is pretty well WAY up - since they seldom come up are early and therefore sought after - not forgetting of coure GWB and Rude Copper.

Things may go from secondhand car to new car prices.

...not to mention situation impending on Neate and Micallef prints ;<

this maybe the time to sell if you need the money or want to get the highest price possible for your beloved (unsigned) banksy's. actually my misses wont let me sell mine.

[ABC]

I certainly wouldnt pay 3k for unsigned GWB thats crazy.

[dgb133]

4 Unsigned prints have been on ebay within the past 2-3 weeks
1 Signed print was on ebay about 1-2 weeks ago

That's 5 in less than a month, not seldom. There are some artists who you have to wait months or even years before the print or artwork that you want comes up on ebay. You can pretty much bet that there will be at leats 1 to 2 dozen Banksy prints on ebay at any time.

I'm not saying we've hit top, but there's definitely a ceiling for how much these things will sell for. And spending £2,500 on an unsigned edition of 600 is no bargain and no guarantee you'll make any profit at these prices. Unless you can wait years ...if you have to.

Maybe you won't???

I'm not sure what I have more disdain for, the ebayers who put ridiculously high prices on their prints or the idiots who bid these things up that high?

[Yessir]

I'm after a unsigned Banksy 'Laugh Now'

I will swap two prints from this list of five below.

Micallef -Friendly Fire

Micallef -Judgement Day

Mantis -Ineed

Jamie Hewlett -The Kid (unsigned)

Jamie Hewlett -The Hick(signed)

[Toykio]

PM me if you want to part with yours! signed or unsigned.

[ohmygosh]

I have an un-signed laugh now on ebay, 3 days left.

[pastiepie]

Welcome to the forums ideabolo. I see you've decided to get some more prints to compliment your toy collection, good luck on you quest.

[ohmygosh]

Having had my ebay account hijacked by a crim i am putting my print on here if anyone is interested where it will be available for offers for a week. PM me to make an offer. After next wednesday i will be re-listing on ebay if i haven't received an offer.

I have POW confirmation that i am the original buyer.

I have removed it from the tube a couple of times but it is in 100% perfect condition.

I dont have pics now as these are on a different PC which i dont have easy access to. POW confirmation and pictures can be supplied first if your bid is accepted.

Im also interested in swaps.

If you are interested please MAKE A BID, do not ask me how much i want for it etc. If you want to swap, please tell me what you wish to swap first.

Thanks

[Macdeee]

Is it signed?

[RBK]

ohmygosh - word to the wise - name your price. People don't like doing a blind auction.

[ohmygosh]

I dont like people on here moaning about high prices being set, but as you asked so nicely...

Around £1500. Either cash or cash plus Banksy print.

Its unsigned, thanks.

Im basing this on certain signed prints going for £2,000 and the unsigned going for £800. Ive seen offers for signed LN's be rejected at £2,400 so i think this is reasonable.

I dont need the cash and i love the print, but im no collector and if the price is right....

[Zippy]

1.5k is far too high for an unsigned.
I would suggest lowering your expectations to roughly 1.2k

[ohmygosh]

If it is so be it.

The reason i didnt post the price at first is so people with their own idea of valuations dont write stuff like that.

Too high for you ? Great , move on.

Next.
