Hi

How much is a signed Applause worth? It's my bestest favouritest of Bankser.
Hoping to get lucky on the next signed release and go for a swap on here with someone....hopefully.

Cheers.

Its worth the same as one of the other LA prints IMO, If you get a Signed Trolley Hunters then Im sure you will have little problem swapping.

or why not buy yourself one and let someone who genuinely wants the next release a chance to actually get it.
This sort of post really irritates genuine Banksy fans.

You've got the wrong end of the stick, my friend. I can assure you if I get a signed print next time I would love it.
Applause is my favourite print and I would be willing to swap any print for it. I can't afford to simply pay £5k for one as you suggest which is why a swap would be my only option.
Is that so wrong??
Feel free to get busy with the Karma!

[Zippy]

but how do you know what the next signed print is going to be?
Or, do you love the thought of having any print, signed, that is immediately worth 3k?
My only problem is that the next print may be one a serious fan has been waiting for and they wont get the opportunity to buy it.
When I forst started collecting Banksy, you had months to look at hte images, pop into POW and have a look in the flesh and then make your decision.
Now, its fingers on the F5 button and a bum rush. I'm not complaining, we all new his work would get more popular but dont stop a genuine fan of a print from getting one.
Soapbox now being put back under the stairs.
Lets agree to disagree on this and let it go.

Also, why not buy an unsigned version if it is the image you love so much!

true, the unsigned applause is great value for money and is one big intimidating beast of a print. just make sure you have the wall space, get signed if you're flush but to buy a signed from POW for the sake of it is only adding to the bunfight scenario. i can see why everyone would try regardless of whether they want to keep it and the whole 'if you can't beat them, join them' mindset.
it would be a nice ideology if only the truly desiring buyers made the effort of trying to get each print but in reality it's never gonna happen.
good luck getting an applause, either one would look stunning on any wall and will make you a very happy bunny i'm sure.

its now a messy bun fight and gone are the days where you can wait. If disco stepped aside, s/he'd only be leaving room for baggers. I say join in the fray try and get a print and then try and swap. Sorta like the housing market I guess. Though sadly, I will never know what it is like to buy a house in London as I'll never get on the ladder with these prices.

Anyway, seems like ppl are doin the same strategy, try and buy a signed to trade for another. I love trollies and have done so since the images came up. I’d trade my signed morons for it in a heart-beat but wouldn’t trade any extra cash for it. Into the bun fight I go.


But, if you really jus tlike the image and dont care about a pencil squiggle, the buy an unsigned.

I'm with you, Banksy fan is a Banksy fan, doesn't have to be a Morons fan.. and respect to them for wanting an Applause. A vastly underrated print, a unique and one of a kind experiment from Mr B which I think will age really really well. Plus it's fucking massive

[discoduster]

Thanks Nu

That's it, Just want my personal favourite Banksy.

Zippy I'm with you on the good old days, yeh it used to be great having time to decide about the prints. Unfortunately, by the time his greatest (imo) came out, the swarms had started and I missed out. Didn't appreciate the cashley cow dig because at no point have i or would i ever buy a print to sell on at a profit.

Can we have a kiss and a cuddle now??

discoduster, the dig was at (c)ashley cole, the chelsea and former arsenal (of whom zippy supports) player. he is both a mercenary and a w*nker all rolled in to one!
zippy was referring to my point about yesterdays FA cup final and i doubt it was in anyway a refferal to you.
don't be offended, unless you're a chelsea fan. in which case: f*ck off! ;D

Thanks for clearing that up LW.

Up the gooners!

I think the last singed applause on ebay was kicking around the 4K mark
