WCP The West Country Prince, by Hubble Bubble on Jul 22, 2011 8:57:00 GMT 1, From banksy.co.uk:
"You're welcome to download whatever you wish from this site for personal use. However, making your own art or merchandise and passing it off as ‘official’ or authentic Banksy artwork is bad and very wrong."
I guess the question is - does the seller seek to trick the purchaser by passing off the piece as "'official' or authentic Banksy artwork"? The seller is obviously hoping to profit from confusion but there's no arguing with the item description which starts with 'High quality Reproduction Banksy prints' then says 'Exact copies of Banksy's Original iconic early works' then says 'they have been scanned from the original prints' then says 'They are stamped on the reverse - BANKSY COPY - to prevent being sold on the market as originals'... I'm not a fan of this kind of behaviour, but I think it's pretty clear these works are not by our mysterious friend Mr B.
Just sayin'

Just shows how important that second piece of paper is i guess

WCP The West Country Prince, by Shoot Again on Jul 22, 2011 9:47:54 GMT 1, There's always been some fake reproductions of Banksy around (see 2 examples below for prints or canvas), so I agree with those of you thinking that the the lastest attempt on eBay from the West Country will have NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER (in terms of pricing) on the real stuff !
www.canvastown.com/Banksy--Prints-/Street-Art/C111-1-0.htm
www.canvasartprint.co.uk/category/280-banksy-canvas-art.aspx
Not everybody can afford paying Banksy's prices for an original piece of his art, so I like the idea that people with less money and looking to DECORATE their house can buy this kind of stuff but I have to admit I'm a bit surprised that so many art lovers from this Forum get tempted by those. Personnally I'd rather spend £65 on a growing artist (STIK's last original plaque was £75 only) rather than on this kind of reproductions...
However, I admit I've bought some Banksy COASTERS on one of those websites so I can enjoy some Banksy's pictures (which I can't afford) while having some guests sharing a glass at home, that's pretty much all these websites can expect from me ;-)

I'd say the "personal use" bit of that statement is the key. These guys are copying/printing/selling for profit, not 1 off personal use. Thus I'd guess Banksy would put this in his "bad and very wrong" category! You could preferably pick up an authentic, stunning screenprint from Neverwork, L.E.T or BANDIT for almost the same price today if you're quick

I know anyone that didnt go further to check it was real is a bit of a mug, but an image of this quality might be enough to fool someone. In which case the ebay seller will ultimatly be helping that happen.

WCP The West Country Prince, by balibob on Jul 22, 2011 10:15:18 GMT 1, Having a reproduction on your wall of a great piece of art is ok with me, I've got a Monet up. There is only 1 original, its worth quatrillions of £ and so everyone knows my repro for what it is. This isn't the same.
Most of us on here are into buying limited edition canvases or prints, the canvas Banksy's all over ebay are not pretending to be authentic (and no, I don't agree with those either), but when these new ones get framed they are.
Because they are going to look like authentic prints, please don't tell me that some dodgy bast**d isn't going to get a pencil and add a little number on it and maybe a signature, While said bast**d maybe has done it to hang on his/her wall to impress their mates, someone is going to try and sell one/many to possibly unsuspecting punters who may not be as well informed as the members on here. Therefore in my eyes this is so wrong.
On a wider note, how about this lot pick on another artist who doesn't issue COA's with their work and hasn't got an outfit like Pest Control to authenticate prints. How you going to trust any purchase on the secondary market again?.
IMO of course.

I personally wouldn't buy one... but I can't see the harm it will do. People will obviously know the difference between these reproductions and the original ones. People won't stop buying original prints just because of these... similar things have been on the market for years.

Looks like a couple of these have sold and I can see why... people who have always wanted a banksy screenprint but can afford current market prices can get the next best thing. Thats essentially what Sunday B Morning prints are! (The original screens were destroyed long ago)
Have always wanted a laugh now and its tempting but I think the fake watch analogy sums it up!

WCP The West Country Prince, by Brushstrokes 75 on Jul 22, 2011 14:12:15 GMT 1, It's not meant to fool anyone. Even if it's wrong to make profits on it (and it's illegal), they at least tried to make them look like copies (they put their own blindstamp et banksy copy on the back, can't be more straightforward than this).
It won't change anything to the orignals value as it won't be the same clientele. It can also be nice for someone who wanted an image for so long but can't find it or don't have the cash. it can be a temporary solution (which just came out of love).
Reactions on this post just shows me that no here who is collecting is only collecting out of love. Without being disrespectful to anyone but when you pay a £3K print when you could have almost the same quality image for £50, there is something else going on.
But I'm just tired of people buying only for the love and for the image!

From what I've read they amount to about the same thing, similar arguments being used for both. I'm happy to stick to the real thing, even if it does take alot more work / saving and hunting to get one, thats part of the fun working for something makes it all the more sweet when it happens. IMO of course.

My answer 50% because I like it 50% investment simple & truthful. Why else would a normal run of the mill person spend thousands on a print, ps if you can't afford a real banksy but want one, don't buy a fake, work harder or longer or do what ever it takes to buy a genuine one, you will feel much better for it, and in the worst case sinario you will always have something to sell.

So what should you do if you think Banksy prints are a terrible investment but like the image, the story behind, or the concept or some other intangable about the print?
Work hard to save up and throw your money away by buying one?
Terrible advice IMO. If you are lucky enough to not be so hung up on the value / investment potential, go for the fakes or make your own. That is what Banksy would do.

I completely agree with you mate but a lot of people here, just seem to say they only buy out of love. When you buy as much art as most of us do, okay there is love but you don't throw that kind of money out of the window for no reason.
Anyway, I'll join Mike & co in not agreeing with you regarding your second part (without talking about the fact that some folks already work hard and can only make ends meet with buying a thing or two once in a while).
Idea behind street art is that it's open to everyone. Why can't everyone enjoy the same thing with a Banksy print?
Those are simple screenprints too. I guess you don't feel the work of the artist on a Laugh now print. (In comparison to other artists who put far more work into their prints).

WCP The West Country Prince, by chaserawr on Jul 23, 2011 2:50:25 GMT 1, I think the correct answer is Gold and Silver? I'm not out to make money. The thought always lingers in the back of my head especially when I make large purchases, but I don't have a portofolio, or a flat files, or anything and everything I bought I plan to hang. I'm pretty new though.
Tough question Rolex!

WCP The West Country Prince, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Jul 23, 2011 2:55:47 GMT 1, I dont think Banksy cares to be honsest. Also someone posted earlier look at the great signed prints available on the 50pound art thread from other artists for people who want to spend 50 quid. But these copies will sell, it's the same as someone who buys a Warhol or Van Gough (sun flower) copy because its a world wide popular image. Lots of students will be buying these up, same as I had copies of Escher & Dali on my walls when at Uni.
Talking of rip offs - Just found this also, I dont think Jose will be pleased... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jose-Parla-Brooklyn-Tribute-A2-A1-CANVAS-PRINT-FRAMED-/140579596152?pt=UK_Art_CanvasGiclee_RL&var=&hash=item6673632aaf
What artist next.. rip off Eine Originals??..
