Guys need some advice re a current sale on eBay: Girl with Balloon unsigned - 110145247548

- I'm sure I've seen these pictures before on the bay- I remember the sideways view being odd, and thats making me hesitate- am I going nuts or has this one been around before?

Any opinions gratefully received

Cheers
;D

I'm sure I've seen it before as well. I remember wondering why his no. 30 has a stamp when my no. 4* doesn't. Just because it's been on before doesn't mean it's dodgy, previous sale could have fallen through etc.

the stamps are all over the place with these. i wouldn't let that put you off, but do probe the seller for more information.

the image looks familiar to me too.

Good detective work.

How odd, three completed sales no feedback, each item sold (or selling) twice.

top marks mickg, maybe there is a reason he sells everything twice? still no feedback though.

+ mickg... nice work! I was looking at this one, will have a pass now.

I was after the WSM first time round & was offered a Second Chance, told I could outbid the winner after the auction, the works. I think there is also a third listing on this one.
There is def another listing on this GWB but I don't have the number.

Guys- thanks very much for all the info- and great detective work. Think I will give it a wide berth as a result.

If it looks too good to be true, it is I guess......

I have read all your posts above & I was watching this print as you do....(also cos its my fav print!) just to see what price it would get NO ONE BID ON IT!!! hmmmm i wonder why? is it a fake and you all know it? , also because the seller has no history or feedback???

There is one unsigned one ebay for just over £2.5k (granted it has no bids yet) so this had to be a fake right? other wise it would have been bid on but not even 1 bid FOR A BANKSY GIRL WITH BALLON!!!

Can you see i'm trying to convince myself that it was obviously an offer too good to be true....(please people say it was and put me out of my misery )

Off the back of all the top detective work here, I pushed the seller for info, initially he sent me all the PoW details etc, so I thought maybe we were being a bit harsh.

I then asked him directly why the same item had been previously listed and sent him the link. No reply, and the item was then pulled off eBay as it was 'lost or broken'.

Yep -was too good to be true, and again thanks to all for the good intel that got it pulled - I nearly fell for it.

As to the current GWB on eBay- the lack of feedback puts me off, combined with the high starting price. I think you can only get away with that if you've got a rock solid eBay seller record......

The search continues.. ;D

Cool thanks for the confirmation! Way to many dodgy actions by this seller to be trusted!
