bought a few Eelus bits , by Nick on Jan 17, 2016 14:14:41 GMT 1, For a rough idea of what market price is you can do a few searches:
1) Search this forum's for sale threads. If that seller was asking a certain figure and it sold it's likely that was right. Obviously you need to only look at recent threads as prices move quickly.
2) search recent ebay auctions. Only look at sold listings as this will give you an idea of what has actually been achieved.
3) look on Expressobeans. This will have a list of what recent sales have occured. Both privately and ebay sales. Take these with a pinch of salt as can easily be manipulated.
4) if all the above fails, and you want an idea of price just start a thread asking for price advice or post into an artists thread. Many artists like banksy, eelus, dface etc already have price advice threads on these boards.
remember take a breath before you buy something. Understand what the actual market price is. Maybe you will lose out on buying something for a good price, but in the long run you will save money from overpaying. Deals generally don't disappear in the time it takes to educate yourself on the value of the piece.

bought a few Eelus bits , by silverpalm on Jan 18, 2016 18:52:21 GMT 1, hi everyone so my 10a book and chewbarber arrived the print that came with the book is sweet
however the chewbarber was it only sold at pow if so should it have a pow stamp on it
as this does not just numbered and signed and looks different compared to the book signature and the print signature with the book
thank you for any advice

Eelus did change his signature between chewbarber - I owned and sold one to a member here for much less than what you paid last year - and his more 'recent' works. As for why it's not stamped, it could probably be released on his own online shop as a seperate edition. To my knowledge, even if a POW print is not signed, it should still have a stamp (correct me if I'm wrong). The easiest way is to just email Eelus himself as he is very responsive and will advise you correctly.
And fyi, I also started out with his prints. Very likeable images!
