Hi everyone, good to be back after what feel likes a lifetime!

Having been away from this forum for over a decade, I am offering my MP poster for sale. Until now stored and forgotten about until I saw how much these now sell for. Needs must.

I have the original "smarties" tube (aka hell tube) with the original label.

Mine is straight from the gift shop, in incredible condition, only taken out once and one of the rare few that was not brutalised by people who packaged them, so is the leaflet/guide and so are the mint postcards.

The three together make a great set / display and IMO help with authenticity.

I'll happily include a usb stick or SD card with photos I took the day I was there.

What else can I say, if that's not enough authenticity... have a go at Ebay fakes and good luck.

I haven't got the till receipt but frankly... who does?

DM me reasonable offers if interested, I'm in no rush to make a quick sale, I'll meet in person in London.

If you feel disappointed or offended by my sale price, I'm very sorry, I just need the money.

Photos available for serious buyers only, it'll only confirm my accurate description.

I have made a few sales here in the past and if those members are still around they'll vouch for me. 

I also have a couple of Drans, Herakut, Xens I'll post maybe soon from the POW times.

Thanks

Nico

This mint condition Monkey Parliament has now found a new home thanks to a very easy to deal with forum member. It's good to see that even if away 10 years, there are good people about.

Heads-up, I will soon post for sale the following, all acquired directly from the source by moi:

- Don't Panic folded "Forgive Us Our Trespassings" - Mint condition, no envelope 
- TimeOut 2010 Rolled Banksy poster - Mint Condition with tube
- French A3 Poster of Exit Through The Gift Shop (2009 or 10) "Faites le Mur" - Mint condition, came folded in half.
- Banksy Vs Bristol Museum 2009 - RIOT COPPER - Mint with original tube
- Banksy Vs Bristol Museum 2009 - DAVID - Mint with original tube
- Dran - House of Cards - Mint
- Dran Sunset - Tiny spots of god knows what on the edge, maybe just drool!
- Xenz - Handle With Care - The super special Almond coloured and gold, ltd to 75 (if I remember well) - Mint
- A couple of Herakut print but can't remember the names, will need to dig...

And for those with nostalgia I also have a couple POW stickers.

Until next time,

Nico

Would the Monkey Parliament poster that you're selling be authentic?

Or is it a counterfeit one?

Online sales are now mostly dominated by the Mason Storm Parliament releases, making it difficult to find one of the original Banksy Posters.

Although perhaps a little provocative, my questions above were sincere, not rhetorical.


If you are selling an authentic Monkey Parliament, then transparency is your friend. In which case, please post some photos of your poster.


Conversely, lack of transparency by any seller is generally a red flag. This includes coyness with the public posting of close-up and context images (especially when the sale item isn't a unique or original artwork). It also includes being unforthcoming or evasive about provenance details.

Such behaviour is quite often an indicator of bad faith. It could easily be interpreted as a cynical effort by the seller to retain deniability — so they can still plead innocent ignorance ("Sorry mate, I had no idea.") if later called out for selling a fake.

Hi there, selling my monkey parliament,Banksy, offset lithograph, unknown limited edition, 53 x 84cm. It is framed to conservation standard in a heavy "gilt" style fram which complements this work, in my opinion. I have done a little research re pricing and seeing lows of 10k-12k with reputable galleries. I think my pricing is fair, the item is mint condition, come with provenance from Drang Gallery and accompanying invoice etc. Please message with any questions. 

[irl1]

If you don't mind me asking what provenance is on the 3 Banksy pieces for sale.

The Gallery seem to be selling more of these.

thedranggallery.com/artists/31-banksy/works/

[avec art]

First you really need to see the boarders. Without going into too much detail openly of course.

Then some proper close ups, and inspection of paper weight.

Provenance obviously helpful and if someone sells multiples then that could raise questions.

[irl1]

Hi Charlotte, I emailed the Gallery and they do have another Banksy M.P which is not good news

You will need to post up close pictures of the prints and people on here will help you find out if these are real.

If I were you I would get the help here before you contact the Gallery. The chances of the M.P being real are slim as a Gallery selling more than one of these looks dodgy. (hope I'm wrong)

Here is the email I just received

Dear X,

Thank you for your enquiry, I hope this email finds you well?

Monkey Parliament is available for £13,000 which includes framing fitted to conservation standard.

This piece is also accompanied with a Certificate of Valuation and Certificate of Authenticity from The Drang Gallery to support the authenticity of this work.

Please find full details below including dimensions and imagery.

Do let me know if I can assist with any further information.

Best wishes,

Caroline

[u%hdjfka c]

It's 1000% legit. It was bought at Tate Ward on consignment from Jose in Spain.

[Inknart]

Why would anyone spend this kind of money on a poster? Seems absolutely absurd. Legit editoins are going for slightly above this right now.

What do you reckon to this one that was sold on eBay recently? It looked good to me but without any provenance. To add, I wasn’t either the buyer or the seller.

I know most of these came shoved into a small poster tube the condition was never mint on any of the ones I’ve seen so would even be sceptical of mint ones!

[jamo]

Even the legit ones I’ve seen in the best condition have roll marks on them, especially visible on the reverse.

[avec art]

To be honest, mint ones do exist. But the majority have thumb marks. Some initially were plastic sealed before being shoved into the smarties tube.

First impressions of that one you linked Masong look pretty good. Pity it doesn't have its tube although that's not really essential.

The Gallery have another one 

Hi x,



Following on from my previous email I wanted to clarify that the price I have quoted is for this artwork in excellent condition.



We do have another Monkey Parliament in the business in less than perfect condition which we can offer to you at £8,000 unframed. I would be happy to provide further details should this interest you.



Best wishes

[Wanchope]

Sorry but what a crock of shite! One of these even if legit would be circa £4-5k now ( at peak I remember 7k ish). How on earth does someone come up with 10 large price tag for a souvenir poster which were widely available during the show. Drang gallery often have some nice pieces, but massively over priced, I guess some of those posh people with second homes in salcombe etc are dumb enough to pay their prices 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Fully agreeing...

8K for this poster ! A poster...

Even 4 k is too much, but hey we have to wake up all : because of speculators some years ago ( after GDP ? ) , even LPs ' cover not made by Banksy ( The real Banksy ones are cheaper, lol ) are already at 4 k on Discogs or ebay...

Postcards ( I have had 4 or 5 Kate Moss ones at a moment, friends or sellers sending them as gifts, I ve done the same ), fake Dismaland as said Fred...

NFT will save all of us ! Amen.

[Snakes]

I had four of these back in the day. I purchased two but they were so creased and bashed through having been stuffed in undersized tubes they were unable to be rolled out without having more creases than a rhinos buttocks. I was sent a further two replacements which were also not great in condition but better than the first two.

The purchase price of around £10 plus postage was fair enough had they arrived in good condition. I cannot believe the money they are now changing hands for - crazy 😜

[robo]

It's just a great image and even a poster can become rare, especially as they don't tend to be looked after. I bought 3 at the time from the show. Sold 2 in v good condition (maybe 1 small tube crease) with the highest going for £7k. Still have one perfect one.

7 k !!! Oh my god !! Times has changed ahahah !
and I don’t speak about postcards..
lp and cd covers ( supposed or not by Banksy ) are a bit down and don’t move 

[robo]

Don't think times have changed so much really... for sure they go for a little less but still more than £10.

Selling this framed Monkey Parliament at 9.5K. 
Provenance provided. Item can be collected in person or we could arrange delivery with art courier at a cost.

The Drang Gallery again.

Do your homework before thinking about buying this as they had "NO" provenance when I asked.

They also had a spare one unframed

Just put it on ebay as you are fooling no one on this forum and at 9.5k is a joke of an asking price. God this stuff annoys me!

[I Like You Your Weird]

I got offered one of these for 3.5k a few weeks back, what provenance does it come with?
