it says "The quality of the piece is hopefully conveyed in the pics below! "
Unfortunately the quality is! 
I think he should also sell T-shirts - "I went to barcelona and all I got was this lousy Banksy fake" LOL

just love the bit where he says "The print was produced by myself as a one off (slightly larger than this) for Bansky himself. I obviously did a duplicate, the slightly smaller version you see before you............................. Only one person apart from banksy himself will have one of these, make it you"
Classic 
p.s Someone tell him Banksy was selling his copy at Santa's Ghetto-lol ;D

Real or Fake , by mido on Feb 17, 2006 13:11:57 GMT 1, there is a very funny 'discussion' on the ebay group about this. Thugs asked all sorts of difficult questions to the seller.
It is all a bit weird. Even if he is 'telling the truth' this guy thinks it's ok to knock off another copy of something he was asked to do? Does he therefore have any morals at all? why should anyone trust anything he says.
I was born very close to Corsham and still have a lot of family in the area.
One banksy fan also lives close and asked if he could visit and look at it. the guy said no. that speaks volumes to me!

The seller claimed that he had done the prints FOR Banksy originally, then thugs gave him a good old verble pasting and others like me just kept sending him abuse, he then revised his item, the guy sent me msgs back and he doesnt have a clue about anything, he thinks the girl running POW is nicknamed LAZ when Laz is steven lazard.
Id not buy of this seller and if you do then your a fool.

Real or Fake , by monochrome on Feb 17, 2006 13:58:45 GMT 1, this is kind of what i was saying the other day. it's a good repro - it's obviously a photo taken of the original a Ghetto and then stretched over canvas.
for those people who like Banksy's iconic images but don't what to pay £1000 or whatever this would cost then i say buy it. but if you are 'i must have a signed, numbered, stamped, DNA tested' print then avoid.
as along he doesn't claim it to be original.
anyway, changing the subject slightly...
WASSAQ26 - sold 4 signed Jack & Jills so far....... raked in around £1500

no idea. I guess it's first come first served, but a few days ago someone was saying on this board about Art Republic buying in bulk, so maybe big dealers get a head start?

If it's the seller I think it is, then he seems ok as a person. has also sold several CND soldiers signed as well, so he's laughing.
surely it's partly 'our' fault though (the buyers) for demanding we have a signed copy. I have unsigned ones of CND, napalm, I fought, and 1 rat - I'm happy they were cost price, provenenced, and readily available from POW.
I'm just not sure when I'll ever be able to get a copy of older stuff - want Happy Choppers, Laugh Now and Golf Sale mainly. even unsigned they are hard to get hold of, and at a decent price.
It;s not their fault but the whole point of POW was to make art affordable wasn't it?

Real or Fake , by Honest Jon on Feb 17, 2006 14:58:32 GMT 1, I know artrepublic, im from Birghton, there is a very nice sales lady in there who really knows her stuff,
but they are overpriced and seem to buy up stuff like signed prints and charge high prices, but dont forget they are a gallery/shop so have rent to pay and other overheads, so they gota make some money to keep going,
another little trick they do is but the price up on prints that are almost sold out even before they are actually sold out!! so if you see them put the price up from there normal price it "could" mean there almost sold out.
(if anyones noticed they have put the price up on "get out while you can")

Real or Fake , by LoveRat on Feb 19, 2006 20:11:34 GMT 1, i agree it's misleading having KateMoss pic on his/her item but I think they are just using it to draw you attention to the other items they are selling.
I have heard other people have had rude responses from this person/s.I wonder if you would get the same response if buying? Doubt it
They do have some good prints though not cheap!

I had done exactly the same. he was little turd when he replied, but did get a bit more reasonable later on.
With an attitude like that I wouldn't buy his 'serious' stuff.

Real or Fake , by guerillaart on Feb 21, 2006 0:00:14 GMT 1, People. I'm the guy who you apparently feel was quite rude, if this was the case then I can only say sorry. However, sometimes I do get asked questions which are, shall we say, a little bit stupid.
Anyway, have to say I like what's being talked about on this forum. I'm not just a seller though, I'm a collector. Fortunately, I've managed to build a substantial collection and so if you want any info on the older stuff then just drop me a line. I'm also a picture framer and so if you want any advice on how to frame or who to use then I will be more than happy to help.
I'm not (generally) a rude p*ick, just someone who is very busy and doesn't have much time. Sorry.
