expensive poster?, by corblimeylimey on Feb 15, 2007 21:40:24 GMT 1, I can't afford a stamped and numbered Happy Choppers, but love the image.
I'd gladly pay ยฃ200ish for a mint condition 'back door' print, it must of course be a screen print from the original run, identical in every way except for lacking the provenance, number and stamp. I'd frame it and enjoy it, no big investment I know but who cares. I'd probably be able to sell it for what I paid for it.

expensive poster?, by corblimeylimey on Feb 15, 2007 22:19:19 GMT 1, To do my own fairly well I'd need to borrow an original print, scan it, then get it printed full size via Large Format Ink Jet (giclee) which would cost about ยฃ10+ VAT but that cost will go much higher if it's mounted on board, laminated, and/or printed on really good stock. At the end of the day wouldn't look as good as a screen print, it wouldn't have that thick pure colour, and would be half toned.

expensive poster?, by corblimeylimey on Feb 15, 2007 22:29:51 GMT 1, There's a Christ With Shopping in a gilt frame over in the Get Your Banksy's Out thread (can't be bothered to go over there and say who's it is or what page it's on) it looks fantastic, it's been mounted so the border and therefore the number and stamp has been covered up. IF that print was back door (I know it's not) you wouldn't know, and I wouldn't care if it was mine and I paid a couple of hundrend quid for it instead of over ยฃ3000.

Have you ever seen inside POW... hundreds of signed Banksy prints... just sitting there, just in case they need to issue a replacment to a customer... yet if sold, they would be back door and "worthless".... scary s**t man! 
Cor> I think the last CWS went for ยฃ8000ish... making a back door one seem a good buy at a coulple of hundred quid.

"I assume you are pretty familiar with prints, and as such you should be able to answer a few questions for me:
1) Is this print on heavy acid free archival stock paper?
2) Can I have your last name so that when I contact AJ to source this print I can tell him who's print I'm talking about?
3) And the final question--Can you reply with some more pics of the print. Specifically, if you can focus in on the banksy logo in one shot, a nice hi res of the whole print, and finally a shot with a napkin or piece of paper with your user name written on it that is resting on top of the print---These are just precautionary pics that will help me to confirm that you do in fact have the print, and also to see with my own eyes that its the genuine article.
I know it might seem like a hassle, but I can assure you that if you are able to provide me with these few items, I can happily provide you with a much greater sum of money.
Sound good?! Thanks!

The seller *DID* respond, and he sent some pics that do help to tell the story. Would anybody else be interested in seeing those?

No, this thread is for "Love is In the Air."
