Rather absurd, isn't it?
Also pretty wild that the signature is apparently worth about 40k.

I think it's absurd that people pay ยฃ20k for an unsigned print that we all know Banksy has had nothing to do with, other than tell his printing company you can sell it under my name. No different to a w c p really. I'm still struggling to convince myself to buy an unsigned barcode for ยฃ7.5 k but at least that has a red stamped signature .

Weve had this before since the dawn of time. Unsigned prints not worth anything due to no signature. Regardless of whether Banksy signed it or not, he commissioned it. So its a lot different than a WCP.
Still if you never bought one when it was ยฃ75, who am I to argue with you.
Good luck with the Barcode.

Lionel Gallery were getting the best part of 100Keuros for these and I think Andy at Castle Gallery had one for around ยฃ60K which sold in minutes.
I think we can all empathise with " Dungle's " sentiments about paying ยฃ60K for a ( not very good quality ) piece of paper with a signature but that is an exausting debate that I am sure has and will continue to rage on as long as a market for " Art " exists - what is relevant now are current market conditions and for the seller to come out with around ยฃ40K for this he undoubtedly sold it cheaply.

I remember a time when people were struggling to put their hands in their pockets for ยฃ1,200 for a signed Kate or ยฃ6k for a LIITA canvas from Santa's Ghetto.
Ten years ago you could pick up a Warhol print for ยฃ6-ยฃ7k. Now you're looking at ยฃ30k +.
Banksy is already a bigger part of art history than the art establishment will ever acknowledge - at least while he's still alive - because all they ever do is look back.
You could argue that ยฃ7.5k isn't too high a price to pay for owning a piece of art history. Depends how much you really want it.
