  Hi, all -- I have a few people interested in this from a thread elsewhere, so they get first crack with offers, etc., but I thought I'd put it here as well.  I made a mistake elsewhere, too, in saying that it's a turquoise Choose Your Weapon.  It's actually sky blue.

   The nice folks over on the banksy valuation thread think the print is worth $65k to $70k US, so that's about what I'm looking for, give or take, more or less, or obo.

   I have Pest Control coa, and the original mailing tube, and the PC tissue the print came wrapped in.

   I had the print framed for a while but had it removed when I moved to a new state.  Since then, it has been stored flat.  It's in 100% A1 perfect condition.

   One thing: I only want to sell this to someone who can inspect it and make sure it's exactly what I say it is.  I live in San Diego, CA.  As well, I don't want to send it anywhere, because lord knows what can happen when it's out of my sight.  Ugh.  I shudder to think about it.

   Anyway, here are a few photos.  If you want more or different please let me know.

   Oh -- and I'm not interested in trades, unless someone wants to throw in dran's learning to fly or an unsigned banksy b&w trolleys as a sweetener.  ha!

   Thanks for having a look at this!

Very cool colour !!

[DrWhite]

Wasn’t this colour an AP colour or something?

I think I remember reading something about the sky blue.

I won’t comment on the price - this would make a lovely pickup for someone

From memory Sky Blue was part of the lottery along the Green, Red (editions 25) and Grey edition 100.

Looks like this is simply from the standard edition of 25. There should be 2 APs in this colour (2 APs in each colorway iirc)

There is a Dark Blue AP outside the main edition (10 APs split between Dark Blue and Dark Purple)

[Dice]

What a great colour wow

[linter]

Agreed. But I am pretty old and very infirm and most trips anywhere are out of the question, sadly enough, hence another reason for why I'd like to sell to someone in person here in San Diego.
I do have 3 good offers on the table right now, so hopefully one of them will be able to come through the way I want.
And to the rest of ya'll -- thanks for your thoughts!

You’ll get a lot more for that in the UK or even better speak with a decent auction house ( Sorherbys)

Yep I’d consign a piece like this to auction (Sotheby’s or Christies) and let the true heads scrap it out. You’ll get plenty of low balls on here but unlikely someone willing to pay the proper money for it. 

[Lazarus II]

You’d b surprised what sells on here and for the values. Plenty timewasters but plenty serious buyers.

Sure I know of a few serious collectors on here but I think something like this that doesn’t come up too often would benefit from the competitive traction of an auction.

[linter]

all i can say at this point is that i have multiple offers at 65k US. all i need is for one of them to be legit -- and for that person to come see it in san diego and be happy -- for it to be win/win.  could i get 70k+ for it, as has been suggested?  maybe. but money isn't everything (but pls don't tell my girlfriend that).

2008/9? I thought £4000 was expensive
Great prices

[anodyne13]

Everyone that recommends selling at an auction house has probably never sold at an auction house. Can be almost 40% between buyer and seller fees. So unless you think you can get 40% more at an auction house it is not necessarily a good recommendation.

Others use auction sales to quote the same price for a private sales 😇

Plus tax , capital gains tax to declare at auction

I’ve sold plenty at auction and attempted to sell various bits on here. I can assure you that for Banksy prints you will net more 80-90% of the time at auction as opposed to private sales. In an ideal world deals should be done in private as the buyer and seller save a lot of fees but that is not my experience.

Unless you are selling a lot of art CGT is not an issue, you get an annual allowance of £12k. If you exceed this then the method of sale is irrelevant when it comes to tax, privately or through auction you got to pay or be prepared to face the consequences which can be expensive if you’re doing this on a large scale.

[crashwilliams]

Stunning, GLWTS.

[Dice]

Was this one of the colour ways that was only available in the lottery to overseas buyers?

The London release colours seem to be traded a lot but colours such as this seem to very rarely come up why is that? It’s Ed 25 like all the others

Correct Dice - this, red and green were the 25 edition lottery colours along with the 100 edition grey. Lovely colourway and rarely seen for sale - GLWTS!

[linter]

Okay, all, this has been sold, pending receipt of deposit, etc etc.

I'd like to thank everyone for their thoughts and advice, both here and via PM. It's been pretty stressful, selling something like this, and ya'll have made it much easier for me. Bueno!

And now I must go deal with my increasingly bad case of seller's regret ....

You should totally hunt down a U/S piece with a tiny part of your proceeds here!

Or at least get on the wait list for a Banksy door mat with Love Welcomes

Well done with the sale!

[linter]

Thanks, Jonny!

And I would love to get an u/s b&w trolleys, which i like more than the CYW, but I'm afraid it would cost more than a tiny bit of my proceeds.

I know the feeling. Had to sell my CYW 3 years ago, and it still hurts.

[linter]

yes, and i'm still feeling it today. meanwhile, perhaps someone here can advise me on a few things.

the buyer is going to fly from the UK to pick up the piece in early april. i should get a deposit, right? if so, for about how much? and what's the best way for him to get the money to me, in such a way that he feels safe?

Then there's the matter of payment when he arrives to get the print. At that point, after he's inspected it, how should we handle the money transfer? i assume some kind of currency conversion has to take place, but I know little about such things. can anyone help?

Personally I’d ask for payment in full. That’s a long time to not sell it to someone else but maybe that’s just me. It’s just not sold until you have the money. Unless it’s you making the party wait until April. Bank transfer is the most common way for payment for pieces at this level.

[gross]

Make sure money is on your bank account before they fly there!

Definitely a non-refundable deposit with a written agreement. I've had so many sales go stale due to time wasters and empty promises. You don't want to be left starting over 2 months down the road. 

Deposit should be at discretion of yourself and buyer. I would say at least 1k to ensure the buyers validity. 

The deposit, as it's a smaller amount, can be sent any way. Paypal Friends/Fam or Wire, but ensure you have documentation that it is non-refundable in turn of a cancellation. 

Transferwise can do the transfer, but I don't believe it's instant, especially when you're talking high dollar values like that. I would say cash would do the trick and a trip to your local banking institution. 

[Graham H]

No one in their right mind is going to bank transfer $65k to someone who just pops up on the forum and sells them such a piece. If they do, they need their head seeing to.

Im not casting aspersions on the seller, but come on.. thats crazy
