well done mate - top bargain!

[BK83]

Champion effort, man. well done.

[Run Pig Run]

how much wall space have you got left?!! you're like the new numusic.

[RetroCanvas]

Tis my fave print. A bargain at £900.

Missed it or I would have bid myself. The seller of the one I won a few weeks ago refused to sell it to me even after the auction had ended :-(

Im well chuffed... I just won a Weston-Super-Mare print

It's not exactley the BME I have always wanted but it's still a cracker!!

Feels like a snip at £900

What do you lot think?!

[lesroy]

Thanx for all your support guys! Makes me feel better about putting sooo much cash down

Funnily enough I only have 6 or so Banksy prints with only two being on my walls. You're right, there just isn't enough space! I seem to be going through a gap of having all my more unusual stuff on the walls, esp Micallef, I absolutley adore his stuff at the moment!

This is the same shape as my "Hick" though so should look ace on my wall together ...

[lesroy]

What do you lot reckon...

Mounted or just straight into a frame?

I say mounted. Gives you the opportunity to add a little more color to the print

This certainly has been the week of bargains on eBay, huh... just a couple of days ago, I snapped a Have A Nice Day for only £825. Very, very chuffed about that, 'cos it's one of Banksy's earliest prints, one of the most iconic, and has been an out-of-reach favorite of mine for years. And get this: I was the lone bidder!! Freaked me out quite a bit, because I thought there must have been some reason why nobody else bidded on it. Oh well, I'll know that it's not a scam when I receive it (or not - knock on wood!!! )

Merry Christmas, lesroy!!! ;D

[lesroy]

Hey Agent... weird mate, I suppose people are just thinking about the new LA prints, the Ghetto and Christmas?

I too was the only bidder on the WSM... I went straight in at £900 thinking... no chance, but then watched with amazment as I remained the only bidder for the next 8 days!!

I'm well happy though Can't wait to see yours framed, what ideas you got?

Well, too bad for the LA print/Ghetto/Christmas obsessors, hooray for us!! ;D A BME went for a little over £1000, a Flying Copper went for only £710, and a Golf Sale went for only £671!! I saw them all go right before my very eyes - no sniping or last-second bidding wars whatsoever... really tempted to snap them all up, but I only had money for one, and HAND was my favorite of the lot. They were very cheap relative to their values, but they still weren't CHEAP in the absolute sense of that word! Expected some last-minute sniping, so raised my max bid a few times... only to realize afterwards that I was only bidding against myself

I'm not sure about how I want to frame my HAND yet... it's mostly white, so I'm thinking about a mount with a contrasting color. At this moment, I'm thinking of framing the HAND up more than my Applause, really... since it's gonna be so much cheaper, and I like it a lot more But I haven't even received it yet, so I'm gonna have to calm myself down and wait patiently in the meantime You haven't got yours yet either, have you lesroy?

[lesroy]

No mate, paid for it this evening after work... just got to sit with fingers crossed now! Hope to get it this week though

Im thinking about a very light brown mount with a white box frame? Just a little idea?

Golf sale for £670... jesus!

Bacardi, which other prints do you have?

Yeah, Golf sale for only £670!!! Crazy, ain't it?

And yeah, I think a light brown mount with a white box frame would look good. Your WSM and my HAND are quite similar, in that both are short and stretchy, and predominantly white, so that might work very well with both our prints! My seller just sent me the tracking number... I have to wait 5 excruciating business days

As for my other prints: Trolley Hunters, Festival, Applause, Virgin Mary, Jack & Jill, Napalm, and now, Have a Nice Day ;D Not a single one of them signed, though... would love to have at least one signed one someday As for other artists, I have Dolk's Che and Burger King. Not nearly as exciting as your collection, though

Yep agent b there are some bargains to be had out there at the moment , i was watching a gangsta rat with the intention of going in for it and i missed out as i got carried away watching the shameless dvd set and forgot to bid it went for £650 or something like that, oh well, there will be others

[lesroy]

Agent... what do I have to do to get your Trolley print?

Im open to loads of swaps as that is the print from the LA ones I LOVE! You fancy any trades? Other than my WSM that is

[lesroy]

Urban> a Gansta Rat just went for £478 ! ! !

Keep your eyes pealed my son

Gangsta Rat for £650 is awesome!!!

Hahaha! Nothing you can do will make me give up my Trolley Hunters, I'm afraid! It's my favorite one from the LA series Unless, of course, you offer a trade of your Flying Copper and Love is In the Air combined, AND bring democracy to Cuba. ;D ;D ;D

However, if you prefer the LA edition of Trolley Hunters, and you manage to get a POW edition when they release it, I will swap it with you But somehow, I don't think that's gonna happen, 'cos I figure you'll like the POW edition more

Shameless, that'll be 'Manchester so much to answer for'....You should get yourself a good sniping programme, e.g www.auctionsniper.com Then you can place your bid and not worry about breaking off from Shameless.

Got my BME, WSM and HAND al in a similar matt black mouny with narrow front / 1 1/2" deep matte black aluminium frame, the narrow frames set the prints off quite nice, bringing out the black ineach prints, dont know how to post pics, but the do look nice.

[jon12w]

There was also at least one AP verison with a green 'grass' IIRC, TomTom had it hung up there when I waqs there once...

[The Voice of Authority]

I purchased the "Green" one from TomTom, apparently/ allegedly there were about 8 done.
Unsigned and not numbered.
Probably only worthwhile if supplied with provenance!

[jrmur]

ive a weston-super-mare print, bought it a couple of months for a pretty penny i can tell u. its an unsigned print. trouble is its been numbered bottom right but the numbering is vertical, reading top to bottom rather than side to side is this normal?

[numusic]

Crude oil WSM, livened up the Sotheby's print.. wadda ya reckon ;D ;D ;D

[weeble]

I have a green one, it's not numbered or signed. But it does looks stunning. I wonder how many really are out there?

[ash828]

Ive also got a green print - unsigned not numbered and not stamped but looks the nuts!! Not sure if they are worth much at all as I believe these were test prints that flew out the back door at POW.

[kayray100]

I'm really curious - and a bit embarrassed to ask - but what does "Weston Super Mare" mean?
