Time Out Poster might be on the up!!, by georgec7 on Nov 15, 2010 21:59:07 GMT 1, I got this forwarded to me by a friend of a friend in work today - I've no reason to believe it's not true - but haven't been able to find anything on google to confirm - but you never know! That's a fair sum for a Time Out poster - maybe because so few were sent out in good nick?
Subject: Record price for Bansky Time Out poster
John
You will never believe this. The Banksy poster you donated to be auctioned at my son's pub quiz evening for the Masambiro charity which supports the Kunyanja School in Malawi (http://masambiro.weebly.com/) was sold for ยฃ4500.00!!!!
The poster was correctly described so they knew it was not signed and one of 1000+ in good nick. I told the auctioneer that it sold for about ยฃ100. He started the bidding at ยฃ200. We were totally gobsmacked.
There was a bidding war between a couple of young city bankers and a well known young international comedian. The comedian won. I think the anarchic nature of Bansky coupled with Time Out hit the right buttons. Nothing else was bid for in the same way.
My son will be writing to you to thank you for your donation.
Kind regards
Michael

One that I went to a Mars bar sold for 850 quid, the buyer donated it back, and the auctioneer sold it again for 550 quid to someone else.

Time Out Poster might be on the up!!, by georgec7 on Nov 21, 2010 20:45:23 GMT 1, Had a little hunt around after I'd posted this - just to make sure things were as they seemed! seems that they are -
The Pub Quiz and Auction were held at the Woodstore Bar and Grill, 1 Carpenters Mews London N7 9EF on Sunday evening 14th November. About 250 people attended.
Briefly, the charity - Masambiro - develops and supports Kunyanja Community Secondary School near Nkhata Bay, northern Malawi. It was founded by my son Jason and his wife Mandy in 2005 when they were on honeymoon (http://masambiro.weebly.com) and as a result of their efforts has developed from a school with 60 pupils in rented accommodation to one with 250 pupils and an adult education programme in their own buildings. Masambiro is supported by the Charities Advisory Trust (Charity Number 1040487)

Time Out Poster might be on the up!!, by mishco on Nov 21, 2010 21:42:58 GMT 1, it was donated by john brandler gallery: was sent this by the gallery today and not a fan of his prices or attitude to be honest. people either have more money than sense or wanted to just give as much to charity as possible and chose this piece to do so. still just a poster....
Are you always being asked for something for charity auctions / silent auctions by the local schols / charities / noble causes. ? They always think that it costs you &/ the artist nothing to give them something they will sell for hundreds or thousands. You get a small mention in the paperwork , but unless you spend a huge amount its usually YOU giving to the charity. = I purchased some of the BANKSY Self Portrait poster prints that he did for Time Out. 5000 were printed . ( Unfortunatly - for some- Time Out damaged 3400 of them when they shipped them out - they FOLDED ! them making them worthless) They retail at ยฃ95.00 each. (unframed) So I can afford to give them away when asked. BUT The last three I gave , the first FETCHED ยฃ350- for Help the Heroes ! I thought that was good) Then the second one raised ยฃ800- for Epping Hospital Breast Cancer Research ! WOW ! they were pleased I can tell you. Then someone telephoned me asking for one for a school in Malawi. I'd said I'd give one to charities , so sent it to him and it fetched ยฃ4500- That is nearly ยฃ6K I have facilitated just by giving three posters ! SO - if you would like any to give to charity events that ask you , I can supply them at just ยฃ60- each inc COA & POSTAGE , Just look at my website for the image or Email me if you have any questions. I did not want to put all the details , which I'm happy to supply , or the image & block your inbox if it is of no interest.
