Just came accross this online and i am pretty suprised as i was told that my one was a 1/1 but it turns out it must be from a run of three. (I bought mine float mounted framed so can't check the reverse)
Saying that it could have been a 1/1 as it is Faile were talking about, they could have done mine then decided to do a small run afterwards or a couple of extras?

Anyway forgetting the gallery price what do people think the value of this is? I'm kind of struggling here as it's not an OG nor is it a large print run, so very difficult to guage a price on it.

Personally, I think thay are asking at least £1.5k over the odds.

I thought this would be a difficult one to value and even though i've had a couple of PMs concerning this we've only had the one valuation above at 4.5k, do other people think that's too low/too high?

I did receive a PM from one person saying that Faile prices are based on how many colours involved, but i do think this particular peice really works.



Espresso beans is only showing two sales and they are from back in 2007 and neither of them are from this hand finished run.

Would people price a handfinished Faile print somewhere in between a standard print and an OG???

I suppose on this account it would be a case of the actual value is what i would sell it for against what someone would pay for it and if the too were close then that's it's worth.

I might be wrong but I thought one of these sold on eBay about 18 months ago for around the £2k mark. which I thought was slightly under valued at the time. I think £4.5k is a gallery price. I would guess on ebay £2k-£2.5k on a very good day. As much as I love Faile there prices just aren't there any more.

[spaceshrew]

Was this not the print that sold on ebay over a year ago,
that came from Laz?

I think it sold for around 1.5-ish?
which at the time i thought was a great price,
i'd have thought that was about right now?

Great print, love the gold hand work.

Very nice version of the Monster but
NO WAY £5K +

This is an A/P.
I think it was some kind of a gift from Faile. How did you get it? (Don't have to answer that)
Then there is a small edition of 3 that was sold through Laz and Santas Ghetto 2006.
One from the edition was sold on Ebay around Dec/Jan for around £1.3K
That was a reasonable price for a buyer.
This being an A/P should fetch a bit more but not much more than £2K IMO.
Originals (1/1) of this size are selling for around £3K and some older prints (way more unique) for even less.
I like it very much. More than other versions.
Good luck no matter what you want to do with it.

I think Motors advise, is spot on.

This one's never been on ebay and as far as i know neither have the other two, i'm the first owner of this one.

ambrosiabaptism: I agree with you about Faile prices dropping a bit but so have most other artists and i'd say Banksy has been hit harder as the pricing of Banksy is a bit more flexible due to the cost/value.

spaceshrew: I'd personally say that 1.5k is a very low estimate, that is my opion though, i do know that if someone offered me that i would turn it down straight away.

All this does show how opinions do vary on this board though as we have had valuations from 1.5 to 4.5k

I was hoping more of an informed estimate though i.e.
Mr X saying that he knows that Faile's xxxxx which is also a hand finished small run went for this price, and also Failes xxxxxx went for similar money here.........

[spaceshrew]

1.5k is low i agree, i was thinking of the edition of 3, apologies, like the one that sold on ebay last year, an AP will be worth more for sure.

Good luck with the sale, it's a classic.

It must have been one of the other ones.

Thanks to everyone who commented on this, i now have a rough idea of what it's worth.

Motor: Sorry for not answering you earlier, i didn't see your post as we must have been posting at the same time. With what i was told it would make more sense this one being an A/P rather than from the run of three and the source of this print is very reliable (I'd rather keep the source private if you don't mind)
Well it looks like it won't pay for a Banksy original at the moment so it can happily stay on the wall ;D

[ambrosiabaptism]

Yep I thought it was more like £1.5k at the time of writting. But yes I'd say Motor has the mark. Althou' A/P didn't seem to make much difference to that bunny boy on blue speckled back ground that sold recently, I think that didn't even make £700 !!!
Definately a buyers market on MOST work by MOST people.

Tis a sweet print and nicely framed by the way.

We as in I, talking in the third person (or whatever it's called), it's the way we/I type in both emails and on forums and no i am not that distinctive vision or whatever his name is/was that YOU are implying.

we've only had the one valuation above
This meant the people within this thread discussion.

we have had valuations from.
Again this meant the people within this thread discussion.

Why would it matter anyway?
1. I'm not selling it
2. I'm not inflating a price after buying it from another forum
3. I'm not selling it

To stop any stupidity from ruining a perfectly good thread, could one of the mods compare my ip address to any of the known idiots on the forums and confirm on here that mine is completley different.

WE have now come to the end of this thread anyway as it has suited it's purpose, thank you all who were constructive through it.

[rosstierney]

I just thought your use of 'we' was strange so wondered if you were a gallery. No need to go off on one. It was just a question seeking transparency.

Surely you mean:

1. We're not selling it
2. We're not inflating a price after buying it from another forum
3. We're not selling it

And what rat do you smell, why not come up with something constructive and state you reasons for rat smelling rather than jumping on the idiot bandwagon.....

Why not go through all my previous posts and compare them to anyones....

Why not contact a mod and get confirmation about my email address....

Actually i will do this now.......

No i don't get your point as if you read through this thread you would have seen it is for a price valuation and not a for sale post.

As i run an onlne business i use the term 'we' a lot and i am sure lots of other people do. Also look at the context in which the "we's" were written and you will see that the term 'we' is completley valid.

At the end of the day the point is that it does not matter what my grammer is like, especially to someone like you who has no reason to be posting on my thread.
