Hi Forum friends!

I got the Welcome To Historic Palestine posters from someone living there.
I am not sure if they are real? 
There's a receipt. There's an embossed stamp in front and a small pinkish stamp at the back - but that stamp isn't the Tower merry go round, just the text Walled off hotel.


Here are the photos - if it's a fake - it's ok - it's my bad for not doing my homework - but I would like us to share our expertise on this - so to help more folks in the future!

Thing is I really like the guy who sold it to me - he's so friendly and genuine.
And the trouble to make a fake is a bit too much... no?

Please have a look at the photos and share your thoughts? Thank you in advance.

"Thing is I really like the guy who sold it to me - he's so friendly and genuine" ... sounds like you've fallen victim to both poster and love scam... he batted his eyelashes and you were putty in the old boys hand... have you tried to return it? 

That is 100% a fake! For example - the font in the blind stamp is wrong. 

I got conned by a guy there too a couple of years ago. Took a long time to get the money back from PayPal. eBay just passed me to them, and were of no help.

I had to post the item back by registered post to fictitious PO Box address in Israel, and lost €30 on that delivery. Fake item came back to me 4 months later crushed. I just burnt it. 

Forget that you like the guy! He is conning people. He is a criminal. 

If you bought via eBay or PayPal, go via them first before you return the item. Take photos of packing it, the address, the tracking number, receipt, etc. for postage. Definitely use registered post. The address he gives you will be fake, with a fake, non-existent postcode. Google it when he gives it you, and you'll see!

Bon chance!

Didn’t mean to be rubbing it in. Sorry about that. Any idea on how much these are worth? Is there any price difference in the travel show ones and the hotel ones?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this Forum, was hoping I could pick your brains please :-) I have purchased Banksy's 'Visit Historic Palestine' poster apparently from The Walled Off Hotel. From what I understand it's meant to be an offset lithograph but I can't find any of the mechanical dots/circles that you'd expect with this. I'm wondering therefore if it's a fake? It is embossed and ink stamped. It has come with a receipt apparently from the actual hotel. I have studied all the other similar hotel receipts I can find online. What I have noticed about mine is that it is the only receipt with the stamp where the writing in pink saying 'The Walled Off Hotel' is to the left of the pink image stamped on there - on all the other receipts I can find online this is the opposite (the pink stamp saying 'The Walled Off Hotel' is always to the right of the pink image stamped on there). Any thoughts from Banksy experts? This has come from Israel/Palestine. This person claimed it was the last one, but now has another one on sale, also claiming it's the last!

Post a pic or a link to the eBay auction and it’ll be much easier to tell

If yours is the last one, but there is another one for sale that is the last one, then something is obviously wrong.

If it’s the one sold by The.art.mart on eBay (who’s pink stamp is described as you say: words to the left of the image) - then a quick search of their feedback shows they have sold over 20+ posters. 

This would be enough for me to consider that this is a reproduction and not legit.

[Street Arted 2020]

I took some photos of mine. Any thoughts?
Thanks

[Sam Am]

Mines in a lock up so hard to tell with comparison, post some photos of the stamp then it’s usually a easy yes or no.

[Gentle Mental]

Send photos of the stamps to the hotel. See what they say.

[artpartment]

I understand your point exactly but considering that art.mart says that it’s situated in Palestine it also could be that he bought a lot to make some easy money. Probably easier than to fake them.who knows.when situated in Bulgaria I also would say 1000% fake but so not sure. Also because the poster I don’t think was limited to only one per person. And for 50 NIS I also would have bought a lot 😆

I did consider this, I don’t have a clue if the store would limit the amount you can buy. However to list them as ‘Last one available’ when they are not leads to question the integrity of the seller and reduces the confidence that they may be legit. However, you could be right.

[artpartment]

Yes you are right. These “last one available “ and Reduced-70% of a imaginary price are the oldest tricks
Of salesmans . 😂 . Not honest but print could be still genuine 

[The Italian One]

no limits on Posters when I stayed at the Hotel , everyone who visited the walled off could have bought 10 or more
