I purchased this art work from the Santa's Ghetto exhibition back in 2003, and now I'm selling it!

I also have a Bomb Middle England print which i might be tempted to sell - it's one of the unsigned ones and it's been Beuatifully archive framed at John Jones. Get in touch if you're interested.

[afroken]

Actually, my mistake, it was bought in Xmas 2001 at the Santa's Ghetto that was held upstairs at the Dragon Bar on Leonard Street in Shoreditch.

That's a big 2 years out from the 'I bought it at Sanat's 2003', did you buy this yourself ?

Sorry, that sounded really sarcastic didn't it , I actually Dj'd at cargo in London the same weekend that Banksy put up his work there. Haven't a clue what year it was. 2000, 2001, 2002 ? so apologies

[afroken]

I remember the Cargo show and I think that was 2000! What can I say, they were salubrious times and my memory lets me down on occasion.

I did indeed buy it myself... as far as I remember (kidding:)

[jrmur]

how much would you take to part with such a fine print regards jrmur

[afroken]

Hi - make me an offer. These are clearly hard to come by, so I've got nothing to compare it to.

[lesroy]

would you look to trade your Bomb Middle England for any other Banksy Prints?

[afroken]

No thanks. BME is my favorite print, so not interested in trading. i'd need to be persuaded to even sell it.

[sav200]

would you be interested in an offer for both items?

[afroken]

hi - drop me an email at [e-mail] with your offer and I'll definitely consider it.

[sav200]

just emailed you

ha ha, yeah, I'd forgotten about it until someone stuck the Cargo flyer with Banksy on the front on ebay.. I thought, I recognise that.. I mailed him and sure enough Dj me was on the back !

[curiousgeorge]

Question sent

Find out if it is available for viewing

[banksman]

looks very dodgy!!!!!!!!!
it must be real though because stated in the auction it says "the canvas comes with a letter of provenance from Lanzic"
.................................................LANZIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[redfred]

Agreed a price of £2k but was then told it was in Southampton when I offered to meet up in Leeds and hand over the cash, although he did say I could pay by wire transfer and he would have it posted from Southampton to me- - - Dont think that I will bother somehow!

[rabbitlegs]

have you read his new write up??? he says you will get 3 free Worthless rats.... one red, one green and one blue!!!! notice the picture of the POW stamp it says 30/75 but his canvas is 13/75 and do canvases have POW stamps??? i think not!

[banksman]

A RUN OF 75 CANVASES...........I THINK NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[manchestermike]

Anyone live in Southampton?

Seller replied

I am very new to Banksy/collecting any art, however i hate a scammer as much as the next person

Any suggestions more than welcome

[worlddomination]

What a joke!

[psp500]

hahhaa, oh here ill just roll 3 unsinged banksy prints in a tube for you coz im that nice! wow! that listing made my day

[hungrig]

Fraudster. Keep well away. Report to eBay even.

Banksy canvases don't exist in editions of 75 and, as stated above, how on earth does one blindstamp a canvas?!

Check out the images of the edition numbers in the following links. Notice any similarities?

[cosmic]

i am red with embarrassment at this pure poo

[rabbitlegs]

*Anorak on* The small picture of the blindstamp 30/75 is actually from an old eBay listing of a Sonic/Radar-Rat (pr1nts uk) if memory serves me........I need to get out more!

[tomhills1]

i cannot even begin to comprehend this listing. is there a verb for monumental sh*te such as this? i'm astounded, more front than southend.

[tomhills1]

and he has a signed i fought the law cgi.ebay.co.uk/Banksy-I-fought-the-Law-Signed-Print_W0QQitemZ170089965035QQihZ007QQcategoryZ360QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem. interestingly it has provenance from laz, even though he wouldn't have sold it.

amazingly this c*nt is not breaking any ebay rules, apart from robbing others' pics, whilst blantantly breaking the law by selling goods that don't exist or are not as implied in their description.

still, so long as they get their seller fees, eh.
