Most of your pieces are very early POW ;D You bin in hiding for the last couple of years? Prison! ;D

Anyway, welcome to the forum mate! ;D a true Banksy fan ;D

[ROLLINS]

Thanks.

I'd like to buy more recent stuff, but - I can't because of the 2nd hand market and it makes it harder for the real fans to buy from POW.

I think I'll save up for that Laugh Now and that'd be my lot.

Do you have all these framed? Let's see some pics!

[ROLLINS]

I do.

I'll get on it

[lesroy]

Va Va Voom...

Strange you mention this because I met the two guys that bought both of these riot cops.

Two mates bought one each, one sold his early last year for £18k and the other still has it in pride of place in his office!! Must be worth a royal mint!

Small world !

Great to hear your story though.

Les

PS... One of the guys sold his to buy a Ducati and Honda CBR600. Then I just sold my Signed Granny to buy his CBR600... whats all this about Banksy and fast Motorbikes?

[tadghostal]

ROLLINS, All I can do is nod and smile my friend.


3.2k Grin Reaper. That's what happens when you're late to the party.

1.5k Flying Copper.
600 Applause.

[blackbeltjones]

opted for a Golf Sale over Monkey Queen for £35 many moons ago.. damn i wsh i bought more!

[ABC]

Dont we all. Good choice, the right one IMO.

[alvington89]

'Grannies' (unsigned) paid £ 200.00 sheets from POW when it was listed (my first Banksy) Too slow. Thought about it for a couple of mins and all the signed went!
'Because I'm Worthless' (unsigned) paid £ 575.00 via ebay back in Feb.
'Gangsta Rat' (unsigned) paid £ 464.54 via ebay and travelled to the outskirts of the smoke to fetch it in March
(Wish I'd bought these 2 rat prints from Art Republic when I first saw them when they were first issued!)
Prior to getting the Grannies I very nearly bid on the ebay pi**ing grenadier guard original someone listed who said they'd got it from Glastonbury. (I recall it went for £ 2k without any provenance, I'm pretty sure it was genuine. Wonder what that would be worth now?)

[ROLLINS]

Hesitation is evil.

I just saw a Dface - Dog Save The Queen on ebay today.

I thought about buying it - next minute.......... GONE!!!

Danm!!!

[qprfc1967]

50 pence for the jigsaw blade to cut it out the side of my van ,
so glad i decided to keep it

[corisma]

I've also been Awol from the forum for a while .. can't think why .. really is a Great forum . . Nice 1 Silky

Rollins those were the days .. I remember goin to buy a signed Pulp Fiction & a signed Barcode as my first purschases ...
Thought about it for a few days & the £300 seemed a bit steep as the Pulp Fiction looked a bit cheapy imo so just bought the unsigned Barcode instead for £55 ... we live & learn

[blackbeltjones]

i know the feeling corisma, i very nearly bought the heavy weaponry canvas for i think £325 back in the day but opted for an unsigned golf sale to save money

That makes me feel physically sick, my heart goes out to you

[ROLLINS]

I remember those canvases back then.

£325 - Are you mad?? - for an unknown artist??

I remember wondering if to buy a Laugh Now or GWB.

You could look at POW for weeks without fear of something being sold out. You could phone the office and they'd check to see what was in stock.

All change at the end of 2005!!!

[ABC]

Sure did

You're not the only one. Heavy Weaponry was displayed at the Carnaby Street Ghetto so you could pick it up and see what it was made of etc. The rest were on the wall.
No I didn't buy it either @$**&*!!!
But hey would I actually be any happier for buying something that I wasn't 100% sure about even if it would have made me 'considerably richer''? and wouldn't look too bad on the wall.
No I am not bitter!!
Life is full of opportunities waiting around the corner!

If you look you can still find a bargain, I was looking around ebay USA and some newbie ebayer had listed a Golf Sale print on the US site in US$ which was not showing on the Uk ebay site. Phoned him up and purchased it today for £200!! The link is below, I had my doubts on the authenticity as the picture was reversed but it was just the camera and all checked out with a quick email to POW.

Why not? Looks ok to me

[maus]

£60 for rude policeman.. £80 for queen vic and £90 for flying copper... i was just one of the lucky ones who's always had a love for graff.. kick myself now for not buying more but who would have known what was ahead..

[bobbyt23]

HaHa. You're living the dream right now then.

[maus]

i cant complain to much but what ive seen and let slip through my fingers in the past could kill me.. the amount of time i spent deciding if £300 was to much for an original and thinking nah i'll hold out for a bit to see if i could pick one up cheaper.. damn my foolish ways....

[trojan]

Come on, own up. Which one of you bought that boars head?!

[insite]

I'd like too know who bought this

[ROLLINS]

It's Banksy - you can't get them anymore.

Someone's going to buy it and frame it.

Original £5.

I've got about 3 of them!!
