hazard a guess at 3.5 - 4 k due to resale issues and lack of number etc
with a pest control cert easily 8k+

No way!! 2k would be my guess, maybe iloveart would say what he paid for it?

mrtibbs, you have only been on here for 3 days so your guess will not count!

ok im just going to say this once as i dont want this thread to turn into another one of those that we have seen recently.

its nothing to do with anyone what i paid, it doesnt matter, obv your not intersted then its worth less. but i can certainly say if i offered it up for 2k it would be gone in a flash.

i will reply to all pm's later tonight as im going out soon.

fair enough I just find sales threads (cause thats what it is) a little frustrating without at least a guide price, as it help in a decision as to if one is interested or not (as to if one can afford it or not) I mean ever walked into Currys and found no prices at all, being left to guess if you've got the right money in the queue. If you are not looking for public comment on the piece and prices etc then I suggest you dont post on a public forum.

[stillborncrisps]

Is this a screen print or a giclee or something?
Just curious - seems a lot of colours and shading in there compared to regular Banksy screenprints.

As an alternative, why not put some kind of package together for transparency's sake?

Say, this and your No Ball Games (which you should be able to get back from the framer) for £5K?

Just an idea......

Mriloveart, this is an open discussion on a public forum matey. You are offering a piece for sale? right? you should state the price you want for it, this type of closed bids selling is banned on most forums, and should be on this one. Bad form.

[boatboy]

Just out of interest, how would anyone know this was a genuine print and not a copy?Are they numbered?

[Deleted]

Don't necessarily see how this is 'bad form' apart from I love art on walls doesn't - he prefers green in his sky rocket..

This aside, it's his and he bought it and it's his to sell - rather than the continual baiting why not send him a PM if you're interested?

[mrtibbs]

Its the type of selling thats bad form, never met the seller, you know him?

I've always wondered why this is so widely accepted here. Of all the art forums I'm on, this is the only one where "pm me offers" is the accepted matter of sales.


Anyways, it's a sweet piece and good luck with the sale!

Its guess work, 500 who knows? unnumbered and without COA. An interesting piece to have, but not worth more than a signed print.

[rosstierney]

obviously he wants current market value so considering there's no evidence to justify an asking price, would you want to sell yourself short? this is a perfect example of 'it's worth whatever someone's prepared to pay'. maybe state 'offers above £2.5-£3k'? i'd wish you luck but don't think you'll need it.

[kennas]

It is worth more than a signed newer print IMO, perhaps not an older one. It's lovely and pretty rare, good luck with the sale.

Just wondered why this method of selling bothers you. For items where the market price is unknown/difficult to determine (due to a lack of previous sales to go on), it seems a sensible way to me.

[neale]

Lovely print, and very difficult to value, one came up for auction recently, but was withdrawn on the day of sale, but interest in it was intense, I would guess £4k minimum

[jellya]

Hmmm lovely item ilove. Difficult to value this one as has been said.

Shame you have to sell. Seems on the drastic side!?

[monkeyart]

I've nothing positive to add here so I won't, but would be nice to here from the Canns artist who sold it to you and why?, sorry couldn't help it :-)

[Deleted]

Wow man! Your inbox must be exploding!

so they do exist

probably between 3.5-4k as mentioned above before? (with vermin 2k ). Dedicated by banksy personally?
I really like that image, it's just spray can fun and nothing more! lovely

[monkeyart]

Nope banksy personalized it to someone else, an artist at Cans... thats the idea, a thank you for helping me out, they should have kept it as a gift!!! Not cash in, but thats the world now smell the monniiess!!
Anyway good luck, no COA from PC won't help :-)

[monkeyart]

Oh and is it worth than a new or older signed banksy.. NO!!
Why it has no prov!!!
I really don't want to be negative, but there is no proof its by banksy and why will PC not because it was a gift, so its worth no more than a picture, which is nice but proof is everything?? surely thats what everyone wants?

The artist that sold this should be very ashamed.

[rosstierney]

it wasn't just artists that were given them.

[mookie]

I would love to own this but it would have to be with the intention of keeping forever. I have no doubts regarding it's authenticity but with POW not issuing a coa that will be a real problem selling years from now.

[grafik]

if there is no PC COA whats to stop me printing out my own on the same paper etc and this becoming the next diface tenners??

is it signed and numbered? blindstamped?

EDIT: just seen its signed, some of the gift prints you see on ebay have COA, so it you can get it for this i presume its worth a fair packet.
for me no COA = same as a backdoor. i.e.. pittance.

no coa , no go - = oblivion and worth bo diddley ;!

[kennas]

I must admit I dont understand why they wont issue a COA for this, they certainly have for gift prints in the past. Whoever received the print from Banksy initially, should have the freedom to do what they want with it. There are plenty of people on here who have had to sell stuff due pressing financial circumstances. I would add not me yet, but for the grace of god.......

I've seen this position echoed by a few and fwiw I disagree. It was a gift plain and simple and did not require the giver to employ people at a later date to determine whether they were authentic or a fake. It's the same position with the street work- it wasn't meant for sale so the artist will not aid in that pursuit. Most importantly, CANS was a free event for all to come and participate and there was nothing for profit about it. It art for all ages to enjoy without exchanging money. The gift was genuine I'm sure but trying to make a profit off it (not you iloveart, but the original recipient) kind of bastardizes the spirit of the CANS event itself. It was merely a thank you note.
