No comments from anyone on this then?

Does anybody know the deal with this, is it fake or is it a legitimate printers proof?

[achtungbono]

either:

a cheap way to get one of the best banksy prints to date

OR

an out & out deception

The thing is, unlike the widely available info on the "back door " prints ( I hate that term ), no one 'cept a handful of people will be able to give any opinion that is worthwhile having on this print. The emergence of straight / unsolicited "test" prints a while back added another dimension to the discussion

I too would like to hear the experts opinion on this

I asked him if I could collect, never got back to me. I also asked why he lived in Midlands (Birmingham) yet claimed to work at POW, never got back to me. I since did a search and it appears that Townshend was also selling Di-Faced tenners in the past (Thats if its the same seller).

[retroboy]

He's one lucky fella - A VLH and a special Nola printers proof!!

tiny.cc/gowsT

I mailed him about how he got hold of the printers proof and some pics of the Trolleys that he sold for £250 last week but he didn't reply. Beware kids, beware!

Retro

[bazzj04]

Ooo Cheeky Git , taking the Piss that , i see the trolleys the other day too , thought that it could have been real ,"could" , but after these coming up confirms my doubts, I wonder if these are actually screenprinted copies or just a photo print.? some people will be very disspointed id imagine

[retroboy]

Yeah I thought the same about the trolleys but now these are up, seems just a little shady to me! Be interesting to see any feedback from these sales...If they keep selling at +£200 a pop I wonder how many more rarities may surface

Not sure if this is happening all the time but thought it worth posting

[wizzy]

Excuse my language but WTFlip!, whats that all about then?, seller is selling the COA but not the print?.

[ramo]

Selling the COA and not the print does not make any sence for me! The item location is Germany named "at home" looks very dubious for me as well!

I´m sure it´s already in here somewhere, but some poor bugger´s already bid a Chinaman.

[bazzj04]

Ha , ill make sure i win this

[stickitup]

maybe the seller was thinking he could get more than £50 for it and then pay for another and make a little money on it - bit backward but worth a shot?

Dodgy dodgy dodgy. The picture of Sale Ends is a signed printers proof taken at that show in covent garden a while back.
There was a set of printers proofs on show and the framing on them was terrible. So that's why it stuck out.
Buyer beware as no real info given on the listing. A fool and money will part very quickly.

If you find the seller, give him a slap on the wrist from me will ya?

good luck to the buyer/s:

[chrisvidal]

any seller who blatantlyoutright says " I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL " is a red flag in my book... but what do i know,im just some guy from the united states....

[llkoolj]

maybe but some people dont want to pay high paypal fees on an expensive transactions??? if you do relevant checks with dora and inspect print you shoudl be ok??

[craigf]

No paypal is fine as long as they will let you pick up in person and pay cash. If that's a no no as well I'd be staying well clear

[EYESAW]

SNAP...
