Banksy Auction, by thebank on Nov 9, 2006 17:58:26 GMT 1, Due to the amount of enquiry I have had regarding the pieces of Banksy work I am looking to sell, it is proving a harder task than I originally thought! I released news that I am selling these pieces on Tuesday and over the last few days I’ve had different people offering difference prices as time has passed. My original expectations have been met but it seems still that there is interest to buy at higher levels. I now don’t want to put out prices on these pieces and I am running a blind auction so to speak, kindly suggested by ‘nite253’. So the auction will run over the weekend and on Monday the highest bidder gets the respective pieces. This way I know what people are willing to pay in the end and everyone is happy. It is very time consuming negotiation with 25 people at one time with people offering swaps and money and all else. Please submit your highest bids to either my email address (Robert.mackay@clarksons.co.uk or send me a pm on this forum. If everyone interested submits the absolute max they will pay then I think this gets the best outcome for everyone. If you miss it for this money then you will be fine with that because that was your absolute max, and if you get it then you’ll be happy because you got the piece you wanted. I can’t think of a fairer way to run this.
The pieces of most interest are
Christ with Shopping Bags (signed and numbered) bought from POW, so they will confirm that I am the only owner and original buyer. Also I have the receipt for this.
Bombhugger (signed and numbered) bought from POW, so they will confirm that I am the only owner and original buyer. Also I have the receipt for this.
Golfsale (signed and numbered) bought from ebay. Had 2 previous owners. Originally purchased from POW by Prints UK, then purchased by Banksy fan, who sold to me. I can give you contact details of the various people in this chain to verify.
All prints are in perfect condition.
Regards

Pay through paypal to at least cover your ass a little bit. I've talked with Rob and he seems legit. Am a little pissed that every email I had with him the price had increased though. Think I'm going to pass. And hopefully he will divulge how much each one goes for.

Banksy Auction, by alan6012 on Nov 10, 2006 1:59:38 GMT 1, I dont doubt that hes not genuine - just pointing out to him he cant possibly have it all his own way. Cant blame him for wanting to get every penny he can but on the other hand I would only deal with someone who gives me a price straight up.Then I can decide if I can get the money together to buy it with what I have in the bank or take out a loan etc.The max I can spend atm is completly different to what I can spend in 5 days after having a word with the bank manager lol.
The pieces are great though.
If you want to auction something put it on ebay.

Banksy Auction, by RBK on Nov 10, 2006 2:17:51 GMT 1, Oh I completely agree he is trying to have it all in his favor. I was interested in a piece and got quoted an increased price with each subsequent email.
I won't be participating.

Banksy Auction, by heavyweaponry on Nov 10, 2006 8:01:28 GMT 1, Agreed - it seems that once he is offered a price, he'll come back wanting more....and then more...... Busy with that. Stick it on ebay if you want an auction is my advice.

Banksy Auction, by gordy on Nov 11, 2006 11:26:08 GMT 1, Would anybody part with 2.5k to such a reliable seller
95.8 feedback. Who obviously looks after his prints!

Course if you're not going to float mount it you won't see it once framed.
