Banksy Bomb Middle England Print โข 2003 , by lobster on May 30, 2009 17:51:24 GMT 1, Actually I think ยฃ2k would be a FANTASTIC price (if you were the seller of course) - you can buy MANY signed Banksy`s now for around the same money.

Either my Banksy was stolen or I was scammed, by lobster on May 30, 2009 16:28:23 GMT 1, Glad you got your money back mate and as you say you were lucky you had a good relationship with your card company otherwise it could have got VERY messy.
I have bought a lot of signed Banksys this year and almost all were initially on Ebay.All I do is send a private message to the seller basically saying do they fancy doing a deal for cash etc then arrange to meet up.Obviously not great for ebay but lets face it i dont think they have a cash flow problem (!!) - always insist on the PC cert and you really can`t go wrong.Invariably the people you then meet are decent , chilled out guys and who is not going to prefer cash to money in their paypal account ?
The guy you bought this off is obviosuly a complete dog and lets hope he doesn`t scamm anyone else.

Several Banksy finishing this evening..., by lobster on May 22, 2009 10:30:36 GMT 1, lol - good point as ever Huw !!!
What I tend to find is the prices at the LOWER end (trolleys, S&S etc) I agree are making a slight comeback whereas the prints around ยฃ3K really seem to struggle.
As you know mate NOTHING would please me more than ALL Banksy prints to start gaining value again but unfortunately I think we are a long way away from that scenario and of course that reflects in ALL urban art - I am not a fan at all but everyone tells me that the Neates on here are CRAZY money and lets face it every other post is selling a Micallef at less than cost ? Even Parla watercolours seem to be struggling - I was offered a lovely one the other day at ยฃ10K which is not THAT much more than they were new (6.5K I think) and as you know that is an artist I could really do with "taking off" !!! I still feel the long term is very much the key and it will be VERY interesting revisiting these threads in say 5 years time much the same way as it is now reading the threads from a couple of years ago - ยฃ1000 for a CWSB - isn`t hindsight a wonderfull thing !!!

Surely these are just the correct prices for the market at the moment ?

Sell or not to sell, by lobster on May 10, 2009 11:24:29 GMT 1, Exactly my point but I think you are still being optamistic and I certainly dont see the relevance of Grahame banging on about "Barcode" !!!
A signed Love rat (a image of only 150) went for ยฃ3700 - take off the fees and they would have been left with around ยฃ3500 and the aggravation of going through EBAY and actually getting the money which lets face it is a mission in itself - how are you going to get ยฃ4K for a Golf Sale ? Yes great image but at the end of the day their were 750 (signed and unsigned) - personally I wouldn`t value this print any higher than say Grin Reaper and these are free available at sub ยฃ3K - from memory a VERY reliable guy at one up on here for ยฃ2600 a couple of weeks ago.
At the end of the day this is a clearly a GENUNINE poster and they have a big decision to make and I think it is totally irresponsible to let them think they will get this type of money because clearly they wont.
Finally, I turned down one of these at ยฃ3200 the other day so if anyone IS SERIOUSLY interested then PM me and I will pass you on the guys details.

Sell or not to sell, by lobster on May 9, 2009 23:07:40 GMT 1, And your going to pull the money up and pay that are you Graeme - no didn`t think so ?
If you actually read my post it ended in "I am sure you would rather hang onto it" so please dont accuse me of trying to mislead someone into selling it cheaply as I find that very offensive.
A couple of days ago a Gold Flag went on enbay for ยฃ3700 - take off the ebay fees and the seller MAY get ยฃ3500 - this is a print of only 112 with a great story behind it. Last week a soup can ( 1 of 10) went for ยฃ3300 , A "Formica Flag" for ยฃ5100, a VERY rare trolleys ยฃ4200 etc etc and of course EVERY time these sell for these sorts of prices someone like Graeme posts what a bargain it was etc etc - are these ALL "freak results" ?
All I am trying to do is explain to the poster what the true value of this print is and actually on that basis surely this can only deter them from selling ?
I have a large collection of signed Banksy`s and trust me nothing would please me more than a golf sale be worth ยฃ11k or even ยฃ5K but this is a total fantasy in this market and you will NEVER get that type of money.

Sell or not to sell, by lobster on May 9, 2009 21:55:38 GMT 1, If you are waying up what you will get for the print versus what it means to you then you need to understand what it is worth.
The last Golf Sale sold at auction for ยฃ1875 which included the buyers premium.When you say you had the print "valued" at ยฃ11K without sounding patronising do you mean you have seen ones for sale at that price ? Their are lots of Banksy`s for sale at frankly ludicrous prices in London galleries but who is buying them ?
I think current market value for your print is somewhere between ยฃ2K - ยฃ3K based on the auction result and what recent Bansy`s have been sold for on here / ebay - also you need to consider that finding someone who is willing to actually buy it and wont mess you around can be a struggle. On that basis I am sure you would rather hang onto it ?
Have a great day whatever you decide.

Banksy Soup Can /10 for swaps, by lobster on Apr 23, 2009 10:58:29 GMT 1, With the greatest respect isn`t that ALL you tend to here about these pieces ? I remember the very rare trolley prints went on ebay - same comments "what a bargain" etc , then the recent formica flag, , flying copper etc etc - are these prices not a true reflection of the market ? Surely EVERYONE can`t keep getting a BARGAIN ?

Banksy Kate Moss Print, by lobster on Apr 13, 2009 18:36:30 GMT 1, They are indeed Lee3 and for what its worth i totally agree with you.
What is incredible is that they were (and still no that far from) a similar price to the Warhol Marilyn - although there are around 3000 (?) of these.
The interesting question is what the kates will be worth in 40 years time !!!!

Banksy Kate Moss Print, by lobster on Apr 13, 2009 10:43:06 GMT 1, thats the one and I remember at the time how everyone was saying how cheap it was -
on that basis I think ยฃ20K for a Kate is more than fair and I would be pretty confident that one will be sold for around that money sooner rather than later !!!

Banksy Kate Moss Print, by lobster on Apr 12, 2009 14:01:27 GMT 1, I disagaree - I came close to doing a deal for one a while ago and that was for LESS than ยฃ35K but to be fair more than ยฃ20K BUT I think that is a fair price in this market ?
Look at the recent price of prints over the last few months on here and at auction / ebay ?
Just a few that spring to mind :
Formica Flag : ยฃ5100 Rare Trolleys : ยฃ4800 Di Face Tenners : ยฃ3900 (inc 25% prem) CWSB : ยฃ7K
Maybe a little low but i certainly dont think ยฃ20K is that crazy a price ?

expresso beans, by lobster on Mar 29, 2009 11:55:08 GMT 1, Sorry I dont understand !!! Say something is sold on ebay today for ยฃ2000 - is the price listed as ยฃ2000 at TODAYS exchange rate in $ ? The original price is NOT either the price in todays rate OR the price at the rate when the piece was originally bought (?) - it is an average of the last 6 months exchange rate ?
Sorry to labor this but I use your site every day and find it extremelly useful and I just want to establish that I am getting the right info.

expresso beans, by lobster on Mar 29, 2009 11:32:28 GMT 1, It does indeed but one thing I would know is how you work out the exchange rate - is it done at the rate on the day the piece is sold ? What about the original price - again I assume this is based on the rate at the time ?
Many thanks Nick
