gwrb on ebay with slight damage, by Goooogle Male on Jun 24, 2013 13:32:00 GMT 1, spoke to seller - damage seems quite bad - 4mm hole where the glass smashed and pierced the print (and was then cheaply 'restored' by folding back the ripped paper, by a local framer), plus there are some pretty heavy creases as well. IMO the fact that there are no bids at all at ยฃ2k speaks volumes. I hate to see one of these beauties in this condition :-(

I reckon that ยฃ2k is way too high

As you know, one could ask GB for both a restoration AND a signature but I fear the wait would be so long it would be our children collecting the work!

I don't see why not. Provided 'accidental damage' was insured against and the value at the time of incident didn't exceed the limitations of the policy. A claim for full value would have almost certainly resulted in the insurance company taking ownership of the damaged print though.

gwrb on ebay with slight damage, by Dr Plip on Jun 24, 2013 22:56:54 GMT 1, Hard one to put a value on it. I've damaged prints that I've owned before, but nowhere near to them being worth as much as a GWRB. The owner must be slighty irked. Has anyone seen one sell in as bad a condition as this one? In fact, what's the worst condition Banksy print you've seen?

I think about 12cm had be chopped of the bottom of it!

gwrb on ebay with slight damage, by thelittlesthobo on Jun 25, 2013 3:32:30 GMT 1, Its states in the advert that it has crease marks from when it was professionally flattened?? A? Not sure I get that.
Shame its damaged, what an iconic piece of art.
So how much would one of these be worth in mint condition??

Someone will buy this, just you wait ?

The last few signed copies that I'm aware of selling, sold for around ยฃ14k, not sure why these have suddenly jumped to ยฃ20k........ยฃ25k!!!!!!! WTF? utter tripe IMO.
Unsigned seem to fetch around ยฃ4500-ยฃ5000 of late, plenty of examples of that price.
