do you have tom tom receipt?

[scud80]

so you're asking for more than the high bid you got on ebay, which wasn't even from a serious buyer, in a venue where you won't incur any of the fees for the sale that you would have on ebay ... interesting tactic ...

[christianw]

Sorry for wasting all of your time, it's now been sold.

firstly i must apologise to all those who contacted me regarding this only to be told the seller wanted to sit on it for a bit. i've only just this minute received an email from him asking me to pass on his details to anyone interested.

i think he is looking for around £1250 for it but the price is between you and him. i don't know him personally, i enquired about buying from him when he had it up on ebay. i ended up buying a grin reaper and his sale fell through, that's when he got in touch.
all i'm doing is passing on his information the rest is up to you.

make sure you take all the usual steps to satisfy yourself all is ok before you proceed. i don't expect anything in return for hooking you up, respect if you see fit - either way! i would be grateful if someone else who was in a similar situation passed on the contact rather than sat on it for themself.

good luck, take care and i hope whoever does buy it enjoys it. if i had the money none of you would be even be hearing this and it would be on my wall!

any questions or if you just want his details PM me and i'll try to get back to you asap.

p.s he's based in london.

And they're off!

Actually, please don't contact lesbianwednesdays because you won't end up happy with this print. Unlike all the other prints you have ever known, this one is melancholy and very poorly behaved. It will undo the lids to your salt and pepper shaker, re-arrange the pictures in your family photo album according to size (of the people, not the pic), chase the cat around the house, and press its bum against the dining room window when your boss has come over for dinner. Truly, and unpleasant experience if there ever was one. So, just keep moving along, because there is nothing to see here.

Nothing at all.

Not deterred, eh? How about I tell you that this rambunctious little fella really wants to find a nice home in the states, preferably somewhere near Seattle. Like on the wall just over my left shoulder. . . .

[tadghostal]

LW, respect given. But only because I know that it means a LOT to you.

And thanks for looking out for others on the boards. You're a class act.

just doing my job jay, there are so many that have helped me out the least i can do is help someone else along the way.

I spoke to a guy today who is selling a Signed LIITA but its not numbered?? (Signed in pen)

He claims it was a gift to his girlfriend from Banksy.

What do you lot think this may be worth and secondly, how can I find out if its genuine as POW & Laz won't help I assume, as its not from them?

I own an Unsigned version which I could take to make sure the printing & paper etc are kosher and I suppose I could check the signature or post pics on here of the sig?

Problem is, I have never even seen a Signed LIITA so I have nowt to compare it against.

Help!

[ABC]

There have been a few signed but unnumbered sold on the bay recently, They are worth what you are willing to pay as you would find it very difficult to get provenace for them as they are not official prints

Very possibly ok, post pics and we can check it out. Check out the back story re Girlfriend and Banksy.. this is usually checkable and can normally be traced back to the job/source/reason for the gift.

I had something similar recently, turned out the guy was a photographic model for a lot of Bansy's stencils ;D

Personally I prefer prints with a back story, as long as the provenance on this holds up to intense scrutiny, then It'll be worth a packet

[Rude Copper]

nuart is right, banksy seems to have been fairly generous in handing out his prints to friends & people who did him favours,, if he'd have scratched 'a/p' on them at the time, it would have turned them from objects of doubt into objects of immense worth.

[scud80]

i'm looking for love is in the air ... i would prefer signed, but since i've never even seen one of those (do they exist?) i would certainly take unsigned. i have cash or a few trades, so send me a pm if you'd consider letting one go.

Seller with zero feedback. One, really crappy pic. A whole lot of shuckin' and jivin' with his explanations. Looks like ebay is happily facilitating one more seriously fraudulent sale.

If ebay wasn't so damn greedy, they'd come up with a system like Craigslist that would allow users to flag/remove listings that were obviously not adhering to the rules. Frustrating.

And amazing at the daily illustrations of how many saps/suckers there really are in this world (myself, frequently included).

[tomhills1]

just treat this item as a backdoor print. it may be genuine, hard to tell from the photo, it may have a genuine signature and be the result of a gift to someone. the actions of the seller arouse my suspicions somewhat, if POW forgot to number it they would offer him to bring it in to get numbered up.

as with ebay, well i give up. i emailed them earlier about the charlatan selling the signed applause, he keeps robbing photos from other listings and using them in his. he relists items he has supposedly sold, never gets feedback on them so did they really sell? doubt it, do ebay care? do they f*ck, they take your money but for what service?
running a company roughshod, with total disregard for customer service is unsustainable. the clock is ticking.

[BME]

yes, I've got doubts about the love is in the air. I asked for a copy of the receipt and he's provided and posted the receipt number but no picture! If the print is genuine then he's probably throwing away £3000 plus by not going to POW to have it authenticated. Not sure why anybody would want to do that...

Yup too many easily answered questions, either the seller is being repeatedly stupid, even after all the rather obvious questions we have asked, or its sus as hell. Run forrest run!!!

[hankpank]

If you can get it for cheap, fine. If POW can verify it and put a number on it, very good. But compare it to a "signed" Picasso/Warhol/Lichtenstein/Dali/Hirst (as Banksy nowadays is compared with, at least in some camps, see Andipa video). If it's outside of the official numbered series and you can't prove it's from a known friend of the artist it will be a lot less valuable than the ordinary numbered ones, it will always be doubted (I bought it on ebay, honest!). If you can it will most certainly be worth more.

A pricey gamble indeed

[Michael Jacob]

Hello all!

[Curley]

[corblimeylimey]

It's an odd way to 'frame' a canvas.

[hugs]

Moffla says it's dink over on the bay forum,I believe the boy knows his stuff.

[foundation]

Indeed, the Moff should know. If he says its dink, then thats good enough for me.

[Zippy]

[cosmic]

LOADS of these got printed up and are not official or worth much as they are photos printed onto canvas for a show , i remember bidding on a the same one about a year ago and when i got to £65 thugs told me there not worth that much so i saved me cash and put it towards a HAND instead for £310 ! don't waste ya cash on worthless crap ! IMO
