I would like to know what peoples opinions are on the value of prints pre LA ? I would like to buy something but have no idea what prints like Rude copper or Radar Rat would cost at the moment. Iny info and opinions would be great

Radar rat if you can find anyone that wants to sell will set you back £15 000+ easy if you can get one cheaper buy it

hand spray rings init.
RR is a holy grail.

[walshy]

how about Pulp fiction, the rats, turf war..........

[craigf]

Signed or unsigned, it makes a significant difference! PF around £1.4k for unsigned, four times this I guess for signed

[walshy]

sorry I mean signed

[mookie]

I'm looking for a radar rat and someone said on here that the last one went on ebay for around 8.4k. The last signed rude copper I have seen sell was at christies and it went for around 7-8k it was hand finished as well with spray paint in the background but had some damage. It's tricky finding the older prints completely free of damage.

imo you would be mad to spend 15k on a radar rat, or anything close to that figure... an original editioned canvas of heavy weaponry has been offered on another forum for 22k. Prices for older prints and canvas work have taken a huge hit and they have a long way to go until they recover.

[walshy]

thanks for the feedback so far

and if you find anyone that will sell it for less buy it as a radar rat pisses all over that heavy weaponry canvas ;D

prices have only hit a bit of a dip in the auction scene as Steve Lazarides has stopped bidding his own art up ;D

art goes up and down but banksy's best art work will live on forever

if i was to get a canvas i wouldn't get a heavy weaponry to poor of a image i would of gone for HMV or Gangsta Rat or even a Paranoid Pictures but that's just my taste

good luck on your search for early banksy's I'm sure you might pick up a good deal

[G-Man]

There are some great finds now for early unsigned prints, these are becoming rarer and rarer too, it all depends on your budget I guess?

RR is the Holy Grail for me too.... one day I will have one on my wall.. I may have to sell all my other art to have one though!

[mookie]

Two applause on ebay at the mo both under 500 and bw trolleys come up a lot.

[G-Man]

Applause is so under rated IMO only goes cheap because of the size perhaps??? Dont see the signed ones come up very often mind
