Thought I could go on and put a bid on for a quid That price has shot up quickly. Shame I don't have any spare cash at the moment, would love a NOLA.

[Dellboyy]

Ha, worth a try mate! Sure it'll slow down after a bit until the last 5 mins as usual!

[Francis]

i wish the bidding didn't shoot up so quickly, as i really wanted to bid £5. that's all i have at the moment.

[Dellboyy]

Must admit, it's gone up a lot faster than i thought!

[Winter]

That's because people that own these put bids on to make sure the price goes high. Pretty pointless really as this will reach the good price it deserves.

[fuzzed]

Yeah I'm surprised! Good effort!

[Dellboyy]

I can guarantee i've not put any bids on, i never do on my auctions... as you say especially pointless with a banksy, as they all pretty much go for what they're worth.

[fuzzed]

I think he means other people that own the print to make sure the value it sells for is high. That's how I read it after re-reading it!

[stevesoho]

happen to me a little while ago, wont mention which print but i hate when they come back with a second chance option when you dont outbid them, after that i prefer paying someone else higher than to them

[Dellboyy]

I get you... no offence either way!

I've had no paying winners before, so quite possibly it's happened to me too!

[craigf]

Sometimes people bid knowing they won't win just for the satisfaction of winning an auction for 5 minutes before a proper bid is made. There are also definitely bids from people on eBay just to "protect" their investment to make sure it doesn't go to cheaply

its called shill bidding, when u ask a friend to amp up the price, that way they dont lose money on reserve prices either, ebay is such a get-over but its the only place a person can look and find some stuff sometimes....

I would love to have that NOLA but working at a sneaker store dosent always make it possible....

Good luck with your sale and happy bidding fellas

[craigf]

I think there are two types of bidding that raise prices

1) true shill bidding when a related person to the auction owner bids up the piece
2) bidders who have a similar piece who don't want it to go for less than they think its worth or they paid for it

Two different categories, but the same effect except sometimes 2) will pay if they think they have got a bargain

dellboy - up for swaps ?

if so let me know..otherwise.. I'm out mate - good luck with yir auction.

..

[Dellboyy]

Cheers mate, but sorry no swaps on this. That's the main reason i've listed on ebay, otherwise trying to deal with people on something like this just takes too long!

On the other hand, i am getting a bit concerned at how quickly it's rising. I hope i'm not just going to end up with a non payer, i've already had one guy through ebay asking me if it's been shill bidded!

So what did you tell him? ;D Pretty stupid question to ask.

For whatever reasons I've always noticed banksy prints getting bid up strong early, as opposed to the normal wait and snipe.

[Dellboyy]

Yeah there's not a lot i could tell him! I basically said no but of course i can't prove it, as opposed to yes and i intend to shill bid it up to 10k ;D

[silvermyn]

Haven't seen these listed for a while. Good luck with it dellboyy!

I'll give it a while then put on a sneaky bid of my own as I've got a space earmarked for one of these.

[Dellboyy]

Thanks silvermyn, and good luck with your bid!

[G-Man]

Great print and one I still want to own, very few of these being sold at the moment I'll be very interested to see what it reaches on Ebay

I will need to sell some stuff to buy now

Good luck D

[Fragile]

I'm saving up for a grey Nola ;D

[stender]

Do you have a BIN in mind? I'm looking to buy but can't be arsed with ebay.

[Dellboyy]

Thanks for the interest mate, but to be honest i'm not exactly sure what the current value is on this, which is one reason why it's on ebay. Also, i really couldn't be bothered answering the mass of pm's i'd have if i tried to sell it though here, so for this one i think i'm just going to let it reach the end.

[nixono2]

Almost done, good luck

[Winter]

Good luck?
