I though it was documented on another thread with an email from Pest Control that GDP Cushions would not qualify for a COA.

[Rubberneck]

Just an update on the COA’s for cushions.

I emailed PC, as I own a set.

Definitely no COA however ownership is registered at PC and this can be checked by buyers with them.

This is as good as COA in my opinion.

[Street Arted 2020]

What is the current value of these now?

That's interesting, would you mind posting a redacted screenshot of the email?

[Rubberneck]

Sure no problem

[Rubberneck]

The price came down with confirmation of no CoA, this made it difficult for established dealers and galleries to hold as stock/ handle for obvious reasons.   This anomaly should hopefully be rectified as ownership info can be checked with PC.   

I also asked if they could confirm the number in circulation so far but received no answer..  worth a shot.   

Their logic, I would think,  is that the unlimited edition rules them out from receiving a CoA, however the Artist and Pest Control will need a method in place to stop the proliferation of fakes.   If you own a set and have locked down provenance then definitely worth registering the change of ownership asap.

The people in the beginning turning down 30k for these
These might end up around 5k
Then you also had a can that someone wanted to swap for a Banksy print which he turned down as he thought it was worth more?
A lot of correction in the market, all these odd bits including the cross are not worth as much as people expected

[MD6744]

Wouldn't get rid of these just yet, if you aren't hungry and cold, banksy could bring out something related to these cushions in the future only for cushions purchasers to purchase
Maybe tha slippers or something

[Rubberneck]

These are up on eBay.

For clarity I reached out to PC regarding the question around ownership and received this response.

'The cushions aren’t eligible for COAs and therefore we don’t do change of ownership for them.'

Seems that unfortunately these fall within any other unlimited item in that PC will not govern the re-sale or provenance of them.

You rely on your own due diligence (paper trail) and nothing else

[Rubberneck]

An update, after directing a potential buyer to Pest Control for confirmation of my name being registered as the current owner.... its seems that this created some confusion, and even though they advised me in writing to register my ownership.. I can safely say with a 1000% definitely not change of ownership is not recorded by Pest Control for unlimited items. I don't know if this will change in the future.

I've updated the listing and want to set the record straight here. The paper trail/ provenance I have for the cushions is water tight and I'd be happy to share with serious buyers.

[als33]

So are they not recording ownership changes or is there no registry of ownership at all (even original owners) for these? 

[iamzero]

I personally think it’s it’s a touch of genius that PC is having nothing to do with these items.

I for one would love them to be. However I don’t think so.

Out of (vested) interest, why wouldn't they be? What other original hand sprayed stencilled pieces are worth less than this?

[Wanchope]

Prob because they are cushions

A cushion isn't an easy thing to display like a print or canvas.

In my opinion they can be easily put on a wooden frame.
If I had those pillows I would.

The price?... The artist's labor market decides it. At least I think.

Have there been many lucky people with GDP?

Not too challenging!

GDP Cushions with an estimate of £10-15k but starting price of £7k. Seems like a bargain for a hand-sprayed Banksy.

Hardly a bargain if they're as fake as the Paris Hilton CD in the same auction.

How do you know the CD is fake?

This one isn’t legit

But also the price is very low. So do your own investigation

[Fuzzyduck121]

No COA
No change of name / ownership

*buyer beware*

[Fuzzyduck121]

its pretty mad really, by that I mean it makes no sense that they offered anything primary and refused a PC

what was the methodology?
