I never intended to sell this print when I bought it but on seeing the potential opportunity to get myself a big chunk of the costs towards a Banksy print I thought I would never own, I thought Id give it a go. Offers please or if someone wants to part swap it for a 'Grim reaper' then thats cool also.

I know this will piss people off but it may be my only chance to own the only Banksy print i want.

Sorry.
Was talking to DLB.

[lampsy]

DLB are you Poodles in disguise?

[Heavyconsumer]

cheeky tw4t! If you want a Banksy whay aren't you saving up for one instyead of leveraging/flipping other art for it and then lying about your intentions? At least the other flippers like Lampsy and Richy00 deal with the truth of what they do instead of lying about it. While I don't like their activites and think they're taking the p!ss using this forum for it, at least they're not complete cowards about it! Even if they do use various screen-names, which is cowardly to an extent I suppose.

I'm looking for offers. I only plan on passing it on if it creates an amount that can help me along with my quest for a Grim Reaper (tho I dont expect to get anything near the price of a GR just a good start) otherwise I'll probably keep it.

Exactly - anyone who does end up with these prints or others in similar circumstances should see it as their duty to contact the source (in this case BRP) and make them aware of the print number and how fast it was being offered up, as well as all seller details and contacts you have. Many galleries will try to avoid reselling to these people if they know who they are.

[Heavyconsumer]

You wanna sell, fvck off and sell on ebay, this site is not here so that people can use it to source prints to then flip to fellow members at triple the price or more! It is not what this forum was intended for! If that's what you want to do, of course it's your right to do it, but the fact that people have become so willing to do this type of business in this place is no less than disgusting imo. If you had any ethics at all, you'd just put the piece up for sale on ebay, not rub forum members noses in it!

[nothingwitty]

heavyonsumer, chill man!!! You'll give yourself a Hernia.
You say this is not wot this forum is for yet im in the sales section with a link to a 'V for Vandal' print being sold on Ebay right at the top of it.

As far as I'm concerned, if people buy prints and keep them under the bed and never enjoy them as they are intended, then sell them for profit, thats also considered as taking the chance away from someone who otherwise would have IMO. Though it happens everyday on this forum.

I'm sorry everyones pissed off but this term 'Flipper' was created by someone who never got the print and is far overused in the Street Art world. This is a Market, a business as well as a hobby and if you dont realize that then your in the wrong hobby. I am a collector and my collection is as it is through the rise in value of previous prints I've owned (which hung on the wall, NONE of my Previous/Current Art has been left 'under the bed') which has enabled my getting prints I otherwise could not afford.

This is the first time I have ever tried 'Flipping' a print and I'm not proud of myself but my desire to own a Banksy is too great. How I get it is entirely up to me. I don't earn a great deal and sometimes wish I hadn't got myself involved in this expensive pastime, but I have and just because I'm flipping DOES NOT mean my passion for this scene is lesser than yours, i may just have to take a little longer in getting the art I want in a way that some may never agree with but thats how it is. I wish i was in a position to not have to sell this print, but I am!

I'm not trying to say that what I'm doing is moraly right, its just a 'ways and means to an end'! Jesus, you talk like I'm doing something illegal!!!

[Heavyconsumer]

No, what you're doing is legal and further, you are totally entitled to do whatever you wish as you are the owner of the print. If my use of language is OTT then so be it, I admitedly have a tendancy to express things without holding back, but the plus side for me personally and others is that issues are usually dealt with in the moment! I think my position is as clear as I can make it. There's not a lot more I can say, except to reiterate that your audience is the same whether you post the sale on here or just leave it on ebay. You're unlikely to win too many friends by advertising the sale of a print that hasn't been sent out yet and likely to annoy the many who were unsuccessful in trying to obtain one for their wall. I personally believe that you could show a little more respect for the fact that without this forum you probably wouldn't have grabbed the print and profit in the first place. There are certain ideals that are clearly betrayed by this practice and you lose nothing by showing a little respect to forum members.

I can personally relate to your position as I'm a peasant who has a wealthy man's tastebuds too (in all aspects!), but that doesn't detract from my personal need to try and reciprocate respect. This forum is an amazing source of info for you and I and hundreds or thousands of others, but this thread is imho a clear case of biting the hand that feeds. I strongly dislike the whispers that often accompany releases and the wishes of many to withold information, but it's threads like yours that perpetuate such a mentality and it's quite difficult to argue a case with these people that like to try and keep things quiet when there are quite a few similar threads around too.

If there was nothing wrong with flipping, galleries would not reserve the right to refuse dealings with people caught in the act. It is clearly against the wishes of many artists and purveyors of art. So I will repeat: anyone who does end up with these prints or others in similar circumstances should see it as their duty to contact the source (in this case BRP) and make them aware of the print number and how fast it was being offered up, as well as all seller details and contacts you have. Many galleries will try to avoid reselling to these people if they know who they are.

[nothingwitty]

In turn, I also respect your anger! Trust me I've been there many times with other releases, but to be honest, nobody ever really gives a f**k about how upset missing a release can make you. Everyone is out for themselves and there own collections on this forum and for the first time, This is me out for mine!!!! I have gained very little in the way of good turns and getting inside info from being a nice guy on this forum, so your point of my not making any friends is irrelevant to me.
Alot of members of this forum pretend to be as pure as white but I know that ain't the case. So give me a break and let me get on with building my collection in the way that I choose!!! Thank You!!!!

Seeing as its the 'only' Banksy print you want, it's a shame that you don't know what it's title is!! ;D

[nothingwitty]
