Didnt you get the note from pest control stating never to picture your coa and put it online ?

Not the cleverest thing to do IMO especially since you have included the serial number :0

Point taken - Didnt think about it to be honest and was more concerned with showing its authenticity.

I am interested in purchasing a Love Is In the Air print. 

Can somebody explain the numbering/sig/different editions for me?

Seems there is a regular edition of 500 and then an A/P edition of 27 correct??

But is the regular edition of 500 supposed to be unsigned and the A/P edition all signed?

I'm confused because it seems there are maybe some from the regular edition that were signed?

Thanks

I think the first 150 of the regular edition were signed. Im sure some people on here who own the print can say for sure.

The run of 500 prints are both signed & unsigned. You had the choice to purchase signed or unsigned, then in general it was just allocated the next available number. So though in theory the very early numbers are all signed, that's not necessarily the case... and likewise a signed print can have a high number. 

No-one except POW knows how many were signed, but the best guess seems to be about 50.

I don't know much about the AP run of 27... though there are a fair few un-numbered signed APs about. Where did you see that for sale? I'd be interested in seeing some details...

[gorkie]

I would like to buy a signed one. Either regular edition or A/P.

Please message me with any info.

thanks

Have a look here
m.bonhams.com/auctions/20511/lot/81/?page_anchor=MR2_page_lots%3D9%26m2%3D2
$20,000 usd at auction. Haven't seen signed for sale privately recently. Nice early Banksy image. Bet this auction ends early & the print ends up at a gallery for circa £18k.

That pricing is absolutely bonkers. I think I bought my unsigned for $4k. 

[DrWhite]

$4k is probably ok for unsigned - about £2.5k -£3k private more at a gallery.

[chaserawr]

So why is signed like 5X more than unsigned? Is it that rare?

[thisisanton]

Wow, that's a lot of money! I guess I won't be bidding on it. I asked the seller, and he said he is going to let the auction run til the end. I'm curious to see what the final price would be. Wouldn't he get killed with ebay and Paypal fees?

[DrWhite]

Good question ! A lot of people would say its not worth the premium. Signed vs unsigned debate.

[gravity1]

Bam!

[DrWhite]

Finished at £14,660 for those that are interested. Not sure what the costs would be. Top marks for the seller sticking to their word & letting the auction run to the end. Glad they got a good result.

[craigf]

I had some conversations with the seller who seemed like a decent chap. I'm a bit surprised it went this high, but hope he gets paid and it completes

Can you see if it fails to complete or does it just get relisted? I'm a bit vague with eBay.

[thisisanton]

I was watching this auction too. I was very tempted to bid on it. It sold for a lot more than I thought it would. The ebay and paypal fees is going to eat into the final sale price.

The highest Ebay fees is £75. It goes no higher, so its a wee in the ocean for the fee it achieved!

[vinzc]

wow. that is all. wow

[thisisanton]

That it's good to know.

[stevieray101]

Don't they take a % of the final sale price as well?

[gravity1]

Well we saw what LIITA went for signed on the bay ... curious if anyone has sold, bought or knows of any unsigned recent sales. I see the bay one sitting for £4k so obviously most think that's too high?

[chaserawr]

I paid £2.5k last year.
