Banksy.. Real? Rare? , by seamo on Mar 7, 2018 19:47:24 GMT 1, Hi all
What do you think to this print
Bit of an odd one
ibb.co/dgABq7
ibb.co/h4HD3S
ibb.co/jnvcV7
Not sure how to just make the images just show up rather than links?
Cheers

Banksy.. Real? Rare? , by Zero Hero 2 on Mar 7, 2018 19:58:07 GMT 1, I guess its the standard answer to this one.
If it has a COA then its real otherwise not.

I'd run, that is a pretty funky POW stamp.

Banksy.. Real? Rare? , by acortellese on Mar 8, 2018 17:19:09 GMT 1, I found this old thread
urbanartassociation.com/thread/81699
and the stamp looks a bit different from the above (spaces from the * come to my eyes).

1. The print itself: The image isn't clear enough for me to make a judgement call.
2. Signature: When viewed in its entirety, it looks to me like a forgery attempt.
3. Blindstamp: I'm quite certain it's counterfeit.
As already referred to in this thread, Pest Control's decision is the only one that matters.
But I strongly suspect the print has no COA. And if this suspicion is correct, the reason for the lack of COA is probably very simple.

verdict- fake

Not seen a 15yr POW blind stamp sit quite as proud as that.
I nearly got scammed in my very early Banksy days. Help from this very forum (and walk Andy) helped me avoid spending ยฃ3250 on a moody signed love rat. Was probably only ยฃ500 cheaper than โmarket valueโ at the time but if it looks to good to be true...!
Generally, buyers, If you really want a piece, pay the right money from the right place/person and donโt have sleepless nights worrying about it. Your mental well-being is worth more.

He also almost scammed Pure Evil.
Apparently his running multiple accounts. Stay clear.

Yes it is the same one. Had my eye on it when it was listed.
Glad I spoke to everyone on the forum

No offence to any of our Russian friends, but I was scammed myself by someone from Russia on eBay some time ago so I'm now very careful. Shame some people will actually pay that kind of money to proudly hang a fake Banksy in their home.

Banksy.. Real? Rare? , by Rouen Cathedral on Mar 14, 2018 16:22:30 GMT 1, If I was that seller and it came back real I'd refund that buyer in a second. Not very smart for the buyer to send that message.
Now it's probably fake so it doesn't matter but that buyer isn't very smart sending that message.
