Wow, good luck with your sale. Smashing print, no doubt a gallery will snap this one up.

That would be a shame!

Great print. This should be snapped up in no time. Good luck with the sale.

[DashingD]

PM sent.
Cool.

[eschiff]

Thanks all for the messages it's been fun going through them, don't wind time wasters as long, it's a bit of cheeky banter.

I seemed to have undervalued the print and had three offers over asking price which is nice. Looking to compete a deal this weekend.

17k undervalued? Wow... So it seems galleries do snap up all the prints...

Nice one Evan

thanks mate, and about the galleries thing. it puts a seller in a tough spot doesn't it? I mean, i wouldn't be selling if i didn't need money, galleries have money...it's an easy enough equation.

On the bright side, galleries buying prints allows a wider audience access to prints (those not on this forum) who may be just as big banksy fans but not as big forum lovers. It does raise the prices, and that sucks, but from a seller's perspective whoever can give me the best deal with the least amount of hassle has my vote. Especially with something this valuable, i can't put people on payment plans etc, and most people simply don't have that type of scratch laying about (at least the folks i know!)

Hey eschiff, I never meant to insult you with my comment about selling to a gallery.
You are absolutely right about selling to a gallery. If you need money, a gallery will pay top dollar! And you should sell for the best deal you can get. 
It is only a shame that this print will be flipped for big cash in the future and that we will probably not see it back on this forum any time soon. 

[eschiff]

nonono, don't sweat it, no offense taken

You're right though, a lot of his work will be bought on here and not brought which is a shame

[Shoot Again]

What would be an accurate updated estimate for this one nowdays ?

[mccann]

Hi,

A classic for sale unfortunately I need to sell to make another important purchase looking for offers over £20K...this was recently purchased by me from a gallery. All details can be provided to all genuine buyers. COA in hand, condition is mint...its flat and wrapped in acid free tissue paper. Please PM with interest and offers. Based just outside London but commute into town three or four times a week.

Thanks 

[Harveyn]

I would imagine if you are selling at close to £20k this has gone already. Top hand finished image for a great price.

[Warm Gun]

Is that because you've got one harveyn?

I also noticed your blasé comment on the PP that sold at Sotherbys

''Hardly shocking that the PP flew.

£74,500 (hammer plus premium).''

Isn't that a record price for a Paranoid Pictures?.....and you're not shocked?...perhaps just smug?

Does someone with your collection really need to 'protect' it's value on an art forum?

[Harveyn]

Happy to respond to your concerns Warmgun.

My comment on the PP flying was based on the tempt you in estimate of £20/30k not the final figure. That said one sold for £55k several years back so whilst I do think £74.5k was high I am not surprised.

As for £20k on the RR you only have to look at several posts in the last few months by several other forum members to know that £20k is a very good price for a buyer in todays market.

But I would acknowledge that my interest is probably clouded by the fact I have both so point taken. That said the interest has nothing to do with projecting its value and that is also a fact.

...and your insults make you sound like a nasty little bully. I made an observation, that is all. One that Harveyn politely replied too, no insults needed.

[streetlife]

Then why make the comment in the first place? Then again, it's not like it's the first time...

I commented on an observation that I had made, it's how forums work. I have no idea what Tottenham Hotspurs have to do with this thread?

[jonti]

Is £20k what you paid at the gallery may I ask?

[Dexter Bulldog]

so how much can those of us without one (or any type of side interest whatsoever) realistically expect to get one of these on the forum for? was one recently put out for 17-18k on here and went pretty quickly if i remember correctly?

[Quinnster]

It's prices like these that have stopped me enjoying Banksys work as much as I once did, the prices are stupid for bits of paper.

I now look for a range of cheaper bigger and I'm many cases better images to cover my walls.

[eschiff]

FWIW that was mine on here a couple months back for 17k. I had many offers around what the OP is asking and ended up not selling. So I have one, am not talking prices up or down, just telling you what the market rate is. Whether or not that makes sense for 'a piece of paper' is a debate that can be had about art through history!

[Greenback]

I am also lucky enough to own a RR which I paid a not insubstantial amount for a couple of years ago. When you look at the ridiculous prices that Nola's and CYWs are going for now (both of which are large editions), vs a RR which is a much smaller run and hand-finished, I know which I would prefer to have on my wall. It's a great piece, GLWTS......

agreed RR is better than CYW but then most Banksys are....

Super over hyped print....

[andrewd]

Not sure, thought £500 was quite a lot back in the day ; )
Interested to see what they are going for today.
Not thinking of selling. Ever.

I was misreading this entire thread as though it was all posted today and thinking to myself that the prices quoted above are rather low (despite the fact that they are still large sums of money) and then i realized the error of my ways.  Another nice example of a time machine thread.  

I've seen asking prices as high as 26k sterling for RR over the past few months and I would expect to pay ~23k to secure one.  I'm sure there are cheaper out there than what I see but would be surprised to find one in good condition under 20.

[Deleted]

there is a listing on eBay for a signed RadarRat and asking $50000 or best offer. Can anyone let me know current market price for it? I posted on price check but no one gave me a real answer.
