If you sell the monkey you will have to change your user name. Get rid of the rat 👍

I've got a framed unsigned laugh now with Pest control cert in hand. No plans to sell, it's the centerpiece of my collection but curious what these have been going for these days.

I've just got my Laugh Now back from the restorers. Previously framed, so had it sent off to have the tape professionally removed. 

Print is in excellent condition (IMO). Looking for offers in the region of £50k. Will send photos to anyone interested.

A polite request, please, no screen grabs from Banksy-Value.com, telling me the last x number of auctions and no asking me my best offer. I am aware of what the condition of the previous auction prints and what they hammered for. I feel this is a reasonable price for one of the more desirable u/s prints. Happy to listen to sensible offers. 

I've also got an u/s HMV and u/s WSM with Graham at the moment for the same treatment and will be hopefully offering them in the near future. Happy to discuss prices, if there is any interest in those as well.

Good luck with the sale OP

I think it's perfectly honest

You can see what You get, pics front and back, corners etc

The other way to buy are from the people that chuck a shitty condition banksy in a frame and flog through Bonhams etc.

And where's the flip in this?

[JFCC]

That’s a great price for a great print!

Forget the haters that’s totally the right thing to get the print restored/freshened up, absolutely nothing wrong with it and credit to you for saying that’s what you’ve done!

GLWS!!

[Pint of cockles]

I just sold a laugh now over 50k they are one of his best and my personal favs

And totally understand having it fresh from restoration they getting old since releasing so worth looking after


Glws

[Jeezuz Jones Snr]

One of his best and good luck with the sale fella 👍

[Hubble Bubble]

This is perfect example of why this forum is hanging for dear life.
Bunch of bitter peeps.

Not sure where you get that I'm trying to sell a print with condition issues. I've owned these all for around 15 years. so would hardly call that flipping. They've all been framed, so had them sent off to Graham Bignell's to get the tape remove professionally. Not sure what you issue is with me trying to sell a print through the Art for Sale forum. Isn't that's what it's for? I've been totally honest with everyone. 

[Jonny Wednesday]

A bit of interest in the print buy no solid offers at the moment.







This time with some images and dropping the price to £48k.

For sale:

u/s Laugh Now. Very good condition. £45k.

u/s HMV. Very good condition. £23k.

u/s WSM. Very good condition. £19k.

Tried a few times to sell these. I told the missus it would be easy to sell these but I've been proved right royally wrong.

I'm UK based, all prints have COA's. 

Please feel free to DM any questions. Happy to share photos of the prints for anyone interested. 

Wow… 19k for the wsm it’s a bargain, considering that the last one sold at Sotheby’s was a dirty sheet.
This price it’s also under the average last sales , but if for you ok GLWS

I can’t believe people were paying 30k+ For these last year

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but it's taken me this long to ask...

What's the "idea" behind WSM? I don't quite get it. I know the context of the town (seaside, retirees etc) but the idea of the print?

[Pint of cockles]

I think it’s just a take on uk seaside towns seem to be where the older generation go to die

Art is beautiful because everyone can give a different meaning to what they see, a subjective meaning.
I, personally, see an old gentleman sitting on the bench looking to the opposite side of death, which sooner or later will come

I agree with you, having been to Weston many times, you always see the older generation sat on the benches on the promenade with their carers..

This is the one print I will never sell in my collection, love it.

To the original poster, you seem to have priced the prints very well, good luck.

[sbash]

Can't believe these haven't yet been snapped up!

GLWS!

[Matt 2 ttaM]

I like Weston Super Mare , but it did take some warming up to!

[Jonny Wednesday]

all three prints withdrawn. Thanks for the interest.

[Daniel Silk]

Haaa what do you think of this?

[Jules Leotard]

Do we get an NFT token as proof of partial ownership?  That's what he's pushing here, right?  OOoooOOooo, a new way for the wealthy to drain money from the plebes.  "I overpay for art and now I will give you a small bit of one piece, so that I might get a return on my investment while still keeping the piece in my collection."

Someday... 

Sidenote: Wow, 500 GBP in 2006.  Thank goodness for our other friend.

[High Contrast]

Looking to buy either a Laugh Now or Happy Choppers. Around recent hammer prices or slightly above.

DM me if you have one for sale

Thanks 

[Pint of cockles]

The signed HC you talk about was in very poor condition probably Un repairable
I think you need to up your prices slightly I am also looking to buy at moment and can offer slightly more than you prices you have quoted
I have attached a pic of the HC

That's one way to end someone's WTB thread......
