Fair enough. But the facts were asked for and you refused to give them so speculation is only to be expected.

the facts what do you know about the facts.

What??? I didn't claim to.

Its simple. You were asked for the number. You refused to give it. Ratzi thought it looked like his number and asked you to confirm it wasn't. You didn't. Speculation then ensued, the reason being that people look out for each other here as there are fakes on the market. All this would have been avoided if you had simply confirmed that yours wasn't 202 in the first place.

In the absence of facts people speculate. That's life. Get used to it.

[funster]

Umm, not sure if anyone's realised, but this is a great outcome a) it's good to know people are concerned over fakes on ebay and prepared to help others out; b) it's not a fake as the owners claified the situations

sorry Spirit, but sometimes people dont want to divulge numbers, simply because some people are jealous or have it in them to snitch people up, i wouldnt reveal numbers, why should I, if you want to bid, bid and the winner will get the information to satisfy themselves

Ratzi jumped the gun - the title of the thread even suggests that.

Alsbaber - I can understand why someone might not want to divulge their number in certain circumstances, particularly when flipping quickly, although I am not sure why anyone would worry about being snitched up for selling a soup can at this stage! and I can't really see where jealousy comes into it.

Regardless of that though, saying "I can confirm it's not 202" shouldn't be too much of an ask should it?

as for the facts everyone is very easy to blame or point fingers
without the facts

these opinions are just based on assumptions formed from speculations..

does this make me eligible for a discount?

its quite cheap anyways aint it

Im not keen to give numbers on banksy prints in particular, it only takes a dodgy person with a back door print to ask you your number and name so they can check it is registered to you at pow and they then add your number to there print and they have a numbered print.
Might seem unlikely but it could happen.

Fair point. But giving out your number and confirming that your number "is not X" are different things no? I can't see any risk in the latter.

Anyway, all seems to be resolved now. Good luck with the sale.

[ihate69]

the main reason:




From scully.... (lucyb70)
AKA the person who was trying to get the number off me on ebay:

“the reason i have bought ever of the other soup cans that are for sale is because id rather buy your one as it is cheaper, but i dont mind paying a little extra for peace of mind!
thanks for all the info anyway.
good luck with the sale
Lucy”


But the problem was that they never brought a soup can off anyone on ebay as I was watching the other two.
So this was well suspect and dodge. This is another reason why I didn’t give them the print number information as they were lying. I never lied during any of this mulder and scully witch hunt.

If they actaully fessed up and explained what they were doing instead of trying to go about this in some underhand fashion. I wouldn’t had suspected or had any suspicions.

JUST ANNOYING AND POINTLESS.
I know you guys look out for each other but don’t do this like this
Its all a bit SLY!

That message from Lucy is written terribly and doesn't actually make any sense, but I think you may have interpreted it wrongly (when you thought they were saying they had bought the others)

I think what they were trying to say was:
"The reason I have not bought any of the other soup cans that are for sale is because I'd rather buy your one as it is cheaper, but i dont mind paying a little extra for peace of mind!"

was that your message ratsi?? (I'm guessing not.)

[ratzi]

the 1st email i sent you i asked what number print it was because i noticed you had bought it from a person who had sold 2 or 3 of the same prints? i told you i had bought number 202/250 from the same seller and just wanted you to confirm that it wasnt another 202/250 that you owned!!! you did not reply! so i got a friend to ask you and you still would not tell us, hence why we thought it was fake!
i was worried we had both bought fakes!
hope you understand dude!
so many fakes out there i was just being careful
ratzi

[ratzi]

this is the 1st email i sent the seller!!!

Dear sonicsolutionz,

hi there
i noticed you bought an unsigned banksy soup can from easton_rockers, the reason i am emailing you is i also bought this print from the same seller which makes me slightly concerned? could you let me know which number print you bought and if it come with any prov?
i do hope we havent been ripped off!
i hope to hear from you soon
richard

[alsbabar]

you didnt notice anything Ratzi, you assumed it was yours. Hell no one could clearly make out it was the same number of yours, you jumped to conclusions, end of, now apologies and be done!!

[ihate69]

hi all:

not really sure what this forum is for but its not really for messages like this that i recieved from ratzi
heres the message im not really sure why im getting this abuse:

" dude i did reply to you about what number i own!! i still have a bad feeling about you! you are just a f**king flipper and i cant stand people like you! and if you ever fancy meeting for a chat about it face to face please let me know!!!!"

seems like a personal attack and is that fair after iexplained myself. NO!

In the current market it is probably worth giving an indication up front re what you are looking for.

i would like a realistic offer.


what is the current market value for this as you guys are the experts

[craigf]

There is one on ebay at £1,650 BIN, I think that is over optimistic

The last one I saw before that got to £780 but did not meet its reserve

You can try expressobeans for a more detailed history of what some have sold for in the last 6 months, but current market isn't great

[Run Pig Run]

£1250-£1500

[Winter]

Still think these should be sub £1k

[doublehelix]

In the current market probably somewhere between £750-£850 I would imagine. Think you'd be lucky to get over 1k and very lucky to get 1.5k for it today. Great for buyers, not so great for sellers.
