to be honest we all know it's real...

I would prob pay 10k for it... Would look good in my flat. It's a bit like the portobello one that's now sitting in some bank window,

If 10k I would prob take it.....

Bloody hell Steve! are you eating all the Banksy's?, your house must be full by now. you would need another three of these for the extension.

No no, I wish I'm just collecting what I can afford, it's just turned my first full year of collecting, I just want a couple before the end of the year, I'm no way near some of the collectors here, I'm just putting out there what I wish for........

No please don't say sorry, forgive me if I came across wrong, I'm just here dreaming of all these nice prints I want and hope for, so when I see them come up just wish I had enough to buy them, but sadly lately the prices seem to be so much higher than a couple of months ago, for me i can't even come to terms with the fact that coloured trolleys now seems to be above the £1.8k mark when it was around 1.3/1.5 mark back in May/June , maybe I'm just wishing too much...

Once again sorry if I came across wrong

wow.. they do have some accurate measuring systems..

[naughtyshorty]

know what everyone is saying about not having authentification, but because its a bloody great big wall, and with the documentary on tv of it being removed etc etc, i think its a pretty safe buy. v different from just a wooden door or something like that. But i too was also suprised by the price.. 1 off banksy, street piece... but i suppose its sheer size makes it a difficult piece to buy, store and keep. It's one for the back garden, but will most likely look sh1t there!

Wizzbong - nothing wrong with DB7 drivers at all.. was just a bit showy and didnt think it was the cleverest move rocking up, gettting in, driving off and then coming back to the queue in a DB7.

it would have been different if he drove a 911. he would have just been a c*nt regardless

Its only a known safe piece to Banksy collectors / fans on here and in general as well as anyone who has seen it, although im still of the belief that people with that kind of money to spend would look to its future investment potential, surely no reputable dealer will be interested as they will know it has no Pestcontrol COA and that Vermin Authentication means nothing, and no serious investor will be interested for the same reason. Anyone interested in it who does not know about Pestcontrol will surely make pre purchase enquiries.
Authentication is everything / Pestcontrol authentication is the only one worth anything.

[popmozz]

all in all - however it ends i think it is a sad story, kind of loose-loose-situation.

these guys invested a fortune in getting this wall restored and then having it on ebay for "only" 25k? i would say you better orchestrate a big show at a regular auction, or make your own auction event or you put it on ebay for 1 pound. 25k is a shiddy middle way...

and do you really need a coa for this very well known piece?
would you also ask for a COA if you would buy Big Ben, having left a big whole beside the Themes the next day you bought it? (would be interested if london supplied a coa to mr. mcculloch when they shipped the London bridge into the States).

and - if you could choose between a lenin on rollerblades and this nice piece, what would you take? (ok if you would have the space:-))

but who buys a wall without having a look at it? or can you?

BUT WHO - who really LOVES STREET ART - would buy this anyway?

shouldnt all these pieces stay where they have been created?
It would be just great to see at least a few Banksys and other masterpieces mouldering where they have been done.
BUT im afraid our world ticks in a different way - as said - so sad.

the only one who may like this story is the master himself as it again would make him less tangible.

[wizzy]

Without a direct Banksy authentication or a Pestcontrol authentication i wouldnt be spending anything and it will never have either. It would be nice if it had been left in situ imo but thats the way of the world i suppose.

edit: By the way, cheers for the email "Anonimos" ;, to me you shall indeed remain so), and since you did not ask for a reply i will answer you here. I am neither bothered nor concerned about what Vermin or Bankrobber think of me, i am not "Slating" either of them "Off" (your words) i am merely stating that in my opinion neither has the authority to authenticate any Banksy street work, and in answer to your question..... no i do not give any value whatsoever to a Vermin Authentication certificate. In my opinion of course.
Cheers
David.

Easy AB, print a million quid in notes up and i will set up a company to authenticate them for you, its as good as yours.

[alexnh123]

i hope it fails to sell.

[wizzy]

Off topic i know but was it Lyon and Turnbull who held the disastrous sale of Vermin "Authenticated" Banksy street works a while ago? and didnt someone there suffer because of the aforementioned disastrous results and bad press?.
Apols. to L&T if it was not them.

[lifeonwalls]

For such a highly priced auction you'd think they'd at have at LEAST 20 pictures at all different distances/angles.

[saint]

They'd have to pay 12p each for the extra pics tho sky, thats eating into any profit they might make big time.....

[achtungbono]

I saw these couple of chancers on BBC breakfast a while ago, all scrubbed up , eager to appear fans of the art itself . Their dead eyes showing them for who they really were.
