Hi All,

If there's anyone out there who's got some signed Banksy's they have spare or perhaps their own copy they've enjoyed for a while and now want to move it on for something new PM me with what you've got and what you're looking for in retrun and hopefully we can work something out ;D

Regards

this is not a dig at you two in particular but i do wish people would approach this board with 'i really want a signed so and so, by banksy'. this whole, any signed will do leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. i know everyone's free to offer up any kind of trade/sale but this is afterall a forum for art and it gets lost sometimes, that's all.

i don't want to part with my signed banksy, if i did i would sincerely hope it went to one of the many people i speak to on here who's life it would enhance to get the image in question, not just a print with a signature on it.

I understand what you're saying LBW but for me it's more than that and just like any collector I am a bit anal about things. I am a huge record collector too and not only do I want the released copy but I have to have the promo copy, any different mixes and the accetate if I can get it. I could just settle for a free download off the internet and have the track I want. But for me I think you lose all respect for the artist when you do that. For me having the signature gets me that bit closer to the artist than I would ever have the opportunity of doing as I could NEVER afford an original done by his hand. I don't want just any old piece I have to love it too. Hope that makes sense.

yeah perfectly - you have OCD . i wasn't getting at you per se, it seems to be more and more common for threads being started for a generic signed banksy/micallef/neate etc. mostly by people with a thumbful of posts.
it's each to his own, i would just be much more inclined to sell or trade with someone who i thought wanted my print and nothing else, it would ease the pain of letting it go - knowing it had found a good home and was likely to remain there for a long time.

good luck, maybe give us a clue of what you might have to trade with hope things work out.
