Just been offered and am seriously tempted to buy an unsigned Barcode for £3,000. It's one of my favourites and I've not seen one on the bay for ages? but is the price too much, since I didn't get any of the Failes I tried to buy, I've got some cash burning a hole in my pocket.

£3k? Unsigned? Personally, I'd say that's steep.

But again, if you have the moola and it's a price/print you really want - then it's worth as much as you're willing to pay bla bla.

[Pattycakes]

Yeah true true... 'm never going to get a signed one I know that, last one went for £8,000 or something. Hmm I shall mull on it over night.

There's a barcode on ebay right now. I doubt it will get that high. Tell your acquiantance you'll match whatever price the one goes for on ebay minus 5% hat he'll be saving in ebay fees. But you could get a signed Banksy for 3k and less, Sepia. And just about another 1k will probably get you a much wider variety of signed. A much better investment. I know it's not just about the investment but the art and the image. But at that price I think it's a rip...

I know some people don't trust this guy but some people have said he is legit according to pow:

The one on the Bay is at £950 with 4 days to go, keep an eye on it, but I would be amazed if it goes for more than £2250.

hey printguru
if u scroll down a bit theres an unsigned barcode up just now on ebay

[a4mnt]

i hate to step on another forum members toes, but don't pay £3000, thats loads. I own a barcode unsigned and am continually watching what they go for. just be patient, one will come your way. but none have sold for over £2k as far as i know and i will be surprised if the one on ebay now will do either.

[Pattycakes]

Cheers, you've all saved me a lot of money. +1's all round (well one every two hours anyway)

I bet the one Ebay sells for over £2K, but won't get higher than £2.5K, so I agree £3K is too high to pay.

printguru... hold your money.
3k is far too much for an unsigned in the current climate.
I expect you to get a few 'pm's' around the 2k mark which is still a lot of dosh.
Hold on and you will get your print.

I agree that £3k is way too much to pay at the moment.

but don't wait too long to get one cos theres banksy prints coming up for auction at sothebys in just a couple of weeks, as well as several more auctions in the coming months, and correct me if i'm wrong but after every other high profile auction prices have skyrocketed.

[Pattycakes]

Yes exactly what I have been thinking, Sotheby's have 6, Bloomsbury 28 or so, crazy!

[a4mnt]

also, us talking it up on here and there also being a clearly keen buyer, could give an unscrupulous seller the idea of shill bidding on their own item, knowing full well that printguru will go to £3k.

if you don't get this one mate, there will be another one along sometime. there's been a reasonably steady stream (albeit with maybe a couple of weeks/months between each) of barcode/queen mary/pulp fiction etc. you'll get one soon enough.

I really really want, but just can't justify spending £1500 on a QM or PF, which doesn't make that much sense when i own a minotaur weapon or would attempt to buy a Neate. But there you go, stupid aint it.

[redfred]

Theres another Leopard just come up on the Bay starting at £700 they are breeding like errrr Leopards!

[craigf]

What is the # for the new one pls? I can't find it on the UK site

[craigf]

Oh, found it now

Retract my above statement now that a second one has emerged on ebay.co.uk. Are sellers stupid? I would think it would be best if the 2nd seller waited for the first one to end?

[a4mnt]

what did i say. another one up already. and yes, this second seller is obviously either stupid or forgetful.

'aah, yes, a barcode for sale on ebay...that reminds me, i'll sell mine before i forget again.'
