Anyone can help me here?
Real or fake

[theeasy1]

Banksy Petrol Bomb for sale.
The print has some stains on the bottom on the boarder that mostly will not be seen once framed or you could take it to a specialist to take out for you which should be quite a simple fix for them.
It also has the sticker on the back of the print that came with it when bought.
I have priced this up to reflect it's condition which in my opinion is a bargain in this climate.
Asking £2500 which is a lot lot cheaper than they are selling for.
I'm happy for anyone that's serious to come and inspect it first should they choose.
Based in SW London.

Out of interest, how much does the gallery have it listed for?

I was one of the local residents lucky enough to buy a genuine poster on the day of release in 2011 and I'm looking to sell it. DM me if you want to discuss.

[theeasy1]

Hi,
I have one for sale.. Let me know if your interested.
Selling for a lot cheaper than others due to some stains.

Thanks

[Icesay]

Looks like there is some significant rolling damage....or is that the sleeve it's in? Looks to be a bit fooked!

[theeasy1]

Yes you're correct, there is some rolling creases, however once framed the are hardly noticeable.
It may be a case of taking it a restorer.

[artnewbie]

Thanks for that.
Sorry for my ignorance. What’s that sticker at the back?

[theeasy1]

Some of the prints came with the sticker when then they were selling them.

Hi I have one monkey parlament excellent condition how much pay for this

[healer]

£1000 is reasonable: I’ve seen these recently being sold for around the £3000 mark, some cheaper. It would cost £500 MINUMUM to restore this, even then it won’t be perfect. In saying that, Glwts

[tab1]

Think would be lucky to get £6-700 here with that type of condition, eBay is your best bet to achieve the figure you want

Let me know where I can get them in perfect condition for 2k and I'll buy them all.

[johno81]

Hi all.

I'm in the same boat as Liam. Bought
this off eBay on 13.5.2011. It has been kept in the poster tube since I bought it. All I can tell you about the poster is it is of a high quality.
Now hoping this is genuine, as the money is needed elsewhere.

Again, any advice would be much apprieated :-).

John

£90-£150 in 2011?

[johno81]

Hi Everyone, 

I am trying to sell two Petrol Bomb prints I bought at the original sale in Bristol. I contacted Christies a few weeks back (they sold one last year) and they've said no - not given me a reason yet, but I'm assuming it's to do with a lack of certificate/receipt... even though I'm pretty sure they can't be authenticated (?)/the one they sold wasn't. 

The only sort of proof I have is I'm in the video someone filmed of the queue outside that's on youtube - unfortunately though you can only see the back of my head (you can see half my ex's face but I don't really want to contact him to attest he was with me). Handily I happen to have another picture of the back of my head from the month before while I was in rehearsals for a promo I was shooting - but not sure back of the head comparisons are adequate (the only other thing is you can just about see that I'm hyperextending my arms in the video as I'm double jointed and was in pain - but again not sure sending people pictures of my twisty arms is enough!). I was living off Stokes Croft during the riots and there's plenty of evidence I was in Bristol at the time because there's write ups of me as a filmmaker from the same year.  

Do you think any of the above be helpful or would I just be making an idiot of myself sending people pictures of the back of my head? Is there any other evidence can I offer to prospective buyers that it's genuine? Or could anyone recommend any UK based Banksy dealers who would be confident in knowing what to look for (as in someone I could take to physically for them to assess before consignment) - I'm not an art collector, just a random filmmaker who thought I should get some prints to hold onto in case one day I'd be able to fund a feature film with them (turns out not quite - but still enough to fund a short so it's cool).  The posters have been in storage for a decade (rolled up) so in pretty good condition aside from needing to be flattened. 

[eigengrau]

Here's some pictures (note all but the one being held are in artificial light) 

[krywolf79]

has it been rolled all thoseyears?
what u want for it??

[eigengrau]

Yea they've been rolled up under a bed at my mum's for a decade (never been hung - pretty much as I got them handed to me at the original sale - first time I've flattened them was to take the pictures).

£5K each ideally because of the condition.

I tho ought in the title that you wanted to know if it’s legit or not ?
There are threads about.
This one seems legit and I think that you known it as you want 5 k..
Strange, these roll waves, paper was not so thick..

I do not recommend leaving your prints rolled in a tube for too long. store them flat

I think you can easily understand why Christies refuses your prints because as proof of origin, they must have better

I'd say the paper is quite thick from my perspective (it's certainly thicker than any 'poster' I've ever bought) ...and they have been rolled for a decade.

I know it's legit because I bought it in the original sale, my issue is establishing adequate authenticity/provenance for buyers because obviously they're going for a lot more than the original £5. 

I don't buy or sell art so I'm not sure about the etiquette of these things... the only other relatively valuable piece I own is a signed Jan Svankmajer poster which I bought directly from him.
