Banksy Applause Print

[jboy]

I said exactly the same thing to someone earlier. I honestly did not know these books were originally for charity, i did not find that out until this morning. But if the intended use for this book was to make money for good causes, then perhaps they should stop flogging them at £5 and set up charity auctions on ebay instead. Sorry if this auction has caused any offense and i will pop a few notes into a charity box when i see one if it makes everyone happy!

Hey jboy, fair enough mate ! a nice gesture.. like you said, not really your fault someone forked out 170 quid.. jeez,you can buy first edition classics for that... anyone with enough cash to fork out 170 quid on a book ain't gonna miss it too much I guess.. but nice of some were diverted to warchild.

[Joe J]

You should pop a few notes in the 'Warchild' charity box jboy.
Even though you said it wasn't intentional, I'm all for rorting the system, but not rorting a charity.

Peace

K U N T.

Surely a lot of the descriptions are false, like, "Created for Banksy", "Strict limited edition", "Unavailable to buy except at his private exhibition", "Contains images of all of his work"

[slinkink]

i have the catalogue and had to check twice it was the same thing after reading that description... definite factual inaccuracies as cbl points out!

You snooze you lose. There is no point in dwelling on it, get over it.

You said your description was "in no way untrue", I've just pointed out the untruths (lies)

"You snooze you lose" in what way have I lost by not buying your misdescribed overpriced booklet?

Book was created for Andipa gallery not banksy, it was created for a secondary market sale and has nothing to do with Laz or Banksy.
It was not a private exhibition its was open to the public.

want me to go on ?

Well you do now......nothing to stop you donating

www.warchild.org.uk/donation.asp

[jboy]

Look, i gave my donation when i bought the book. I don't have to justify giving money afterwards. I have already said i will give some notes in the next box i see, cant you read?

Don't try and get smart with me. You knew perfectly well the book was for charity. The fact you've come on here to try and justify it is a disgrace in itself. If you had any morals your listing wouldn't have been the complete lie it was. It's people like you who give ebay a bad name.

[jboy]

Mind your own business

Can someone please clarify the Applause editions for me. Were 500 unsigned prints released from both POW and LA? For a total of 1000?

Does this apply to Grannies too? For instance, are there 150 signed Grannies from POW and 150 Grannies from LA for 300 total?

Thanks!

[corblimeylimey]

500 unsigned altogether plus 150 signed.

of the 500 unsigned, 400 have a POW stamp and were sold direct from POW, the other 100 were sold at the LA show and are unstamped and differ in appearance slightly by being darker.

The same applys to Grannies except the appearance is uniform.

[corblimeylimey]

As for numbering the unsigned that sold at LA are roughly in the 50-150 so the POW editions are roughly in the number 1-49 and then 151-500 range.

There were no Signed available from LA so all the Signed prints have the POW stamp (except PP's and possibly APs)

[lrworld]

That makes perfect sense. So no difference in value? I think I would go for a POW just for the stamp unless you had good provenance....

[corblimeylimey]

There is a slight change for Morons in that the 100 that were sold at LA had a gold frame around the painting with the words "I don't believe you morons buy this shit" and that all the extra 300 signed sepia prints came from POW.

Also the future release of Trolley Hunters from POW will have more colour in it than the 100 sold in LA, although it's not clear if they'll be an extra edition like the sepia morons were.

[corblimeylimey]

I'm not sure about values, I guess they're the same, but bear in mind if you're in the UK and buying an LA print from the US you'll end up paying VAT and Duty on import so sometimes they can go cheaper if they're being sold from the US.

[jhayes94108]

I am trying to decide which Banksy I want to buy next. I can only afford an unsigned piece. Should I buy an Applause or a Toxic Mary? Which of these two prints will do you all prefer? Which will be a better long term investment? And of course, which will be more of a "classic"?

[buddings]

which do YOU prefer? thats the one you should get.

i prefer applause, but its all about opinions

[pezlow]

Virgin Mary for me. Applause is just too big. But you should definitely decide on the basis of which you like better,

[mammal2]

APPPPPLLLLLLLAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[redfred]

Agree with buddings but you must also take into consideration framing costs and available wall space because Applause is one serious sized mother after framing !

[©hief']

Toxic Mary all the way. Had an applause - way to big and non wife friendly. Anyway, who cares what I like, buy what you like innit !
