Banksy/eBay question, by pcant on Sept 15, 2010 19:25:44 GMT 1, Hello all, got a dumb question I'm hoping I can get some help on. I'm looking to buy a Banksy, and I probably have about 1000 pounds to spend, so I know I'm looking for an unsigned, not-so-rare print. Here's the question: I see a couple Trolleys on eBay, both unsigned, one asking 700 pounds and one asking 3000 pounds. How is this possible? Is the cheap one suspect? Is the expensive one just really overpriced? As best as I can tell they are both unsigned from an edition of 500. Here are the ebay listings (700 pound first): cgi.ebay.co.uk/BANKSY-TROLLEYS-UN-SIGNED-LTD-ED-500-ORIG-OWNER-MINT-/250694235884?pt=UK_art_prints_GL&hash=item3a5e8a76ec#ht_600wt_1139
cgi.ebay.co.uk/BANKSY-TROLLEY-HUNTERS-UNSIGNED-PRINT-2007-COA-/200508851512?pt=UK_art_prints_GL&hash=item2eaf424538#ht_3205wt_1139
The more expensive one has a COA, the cheaper one has "confirmation from POW."
So what am I missing? Are they, indeed, different, or is this just an example of the variability of the art market?
Any help would be appreciated.

Banksy/eBay question, by Fragile on Sept 15, 2010 19:34:59 GMT 1, The ยฃ3,000 print is priced ridiculously high. The Trolleys print goes for ยฃ500+. COA or POW confirmation is fine for this print (however COA is preferable). POW are the original sellers of the print and therefore confirmation is simply an email or paper receipt from the purchase. The COA is issued by Pest Control (a company set up to authenticate works by Banksy whether print or original). A COA costs ยฃ50 + VAT, POW confirmation is free.
Hope this helps.

That's what I assumed, and believe me I'll come looking once I have the money together, I was just curious about if they were the same print going for vastly different sums of money.
I've bought a couple things off forum members and been quite pleased at how easy and reasonable the sales were, so I'll definitely start here.

Banksy/eBay question, by Brushstrokes 75 on Sept 15, 2010 19:52:25 GMT 1, For us, avid street art fan, it's totally overpriced but I'm sure they are people that would buy it that price (not on ebay for sure) but in a gallery. Not everyone knows banksy's pricing and a lot of people I guess would think that it's the price and if they like it would buy it!
But yeah the answer is the ยฃ3,000 is overpriced. I guess that you would easier find one if you're ready to offer ยฃ600/ ยฃ650 if you want one fast..
For your budget, spend it here.. You'll probably get a better deal with someone trustworthy and no ebay fees for the seller as well.
Good luck!

Banksy/eBay question, by pcant on Sept 15, 2010 19:58:41 GMT 1, Thanks a lot, all. I'll definitely be looking on the forum. And, in case anyone's looking to unload a Banksy in the 1000-pound range, I'll be searching seriously in about 3-4 weeks (that whole getting the money together thing). Thanks again for the info, much appreciated.
