this smells of being fake ....?, by seidbereit on Jun 4, 2008 1:27:44 GMT 1, Was just reading the responses to bidder's questions and noticed the photo files give away the seller's identity.
It's anewspace in Dublin (a print shop in Urban Outfitters in Temple Bar and a member on this forum).
I've actually seen this print (assuming it's exactly the same one) - albeit about eight months ago - and it definitely looked to be the genuine article to me. If you go to the link below and you scroll nearly all the way down to the bottom you'll see a load of photos from some opening shindig they had in his shop and you can see the print in a couple of them; it's hanging on the top row of two rows of prints above some record/CD racks.
www.anewspace.info/page2.htm
To anyone interested in bidding on it though I would definitely advise them to first find out exactly how it has been framed (I would put a kidney on it being dry-mounted). I say that because he also has a Grin Reaper (also somewhere in those pics at the link above) and that was in pretty damn poor nick for such a lovely print IMO (absolutely loads of ripples and what not) - I almost cried when i saw it.
That all said, the seller himself is a really top fella, about as genuine as they come (don't understand the neg marks on ebay all the same), but I certainly wouldn't expect him to give you loads of bullshit answers to any questions, he'll be straight if there's anything to be straight about (eg. any damage etc.)
Hope that helps.

The LN looked the bollocks but then it is the bollocks. If it does have a problem (if being the operative word) then it may be the way it was framed, but I hope not for the seller's sake as he's a good lad and I hope he gets what a mint LN is worth.

this smells of being fake ....?, by anewspace on Jun 4, 2008 14:46:45 GMT 1, I really hate some of the crap that is on this forum.
What a terrible thing to come out and say. I think this is a fake. Well its not and pest control are happy to prove it.
No its not the one from the shop as that mine and I'll never give it up but it is a friends and I've emailed pest control and its legit.
Here's some photos. Any one who's visited the shop know we don't advise anyone to buy banksy prints any more unless they can get direct as the money has gone silly.
There are so many "experts" on the forum now and most of them have nothing except prints they keep in rolls. This is about owning things you love not investing.
Thank you seidbereit, you've always been an cool guy in the shop on your visits and Joe J for doing a little research.
By the way, rat boy if you crate a framed print proprly and then get it Fedexed it'll cost you 125.
Sorry the photos are so crap but that what was given to me

Re the title / comments the forum often finds and points out smelly items, such as the "signed" J&J earlier in the week, but there will also be good sellers who will sometimes be incorrectly categorised. Its great Seid did some investigation and anewspace came and posted as well so this is where the forum really adds value and assurance to perspective buyers. IMHO it would have helped to put a real photo in the original listing as it would have drawn comments more in line with it being a great price / chance to get a signed LN rather than questions re it being a genuine auction.
The shop wall looks amazing, who did the print of targets made into a monster?

Wow, I'm genuinely staggered it costs so much. Apologies if it came across as a slur against you.
