Sale Ends on eBay, by Deleted on Jan 6, 2013 11:15:41 GMT 1, All,
I know that we're all grown ups on here who know a silk purse from a sows ear, and I wouldn't normally stick my nose in, but the description of the Sale Ends on ebay worries me.
A few years ago i took a punt on one of the LA prints on eBay, buying from the US without a COA. I was lucky and it was legit. POW authenticated it and provided me with a COA.
The seller of the Sale Ends has written - "This print has no COA as it wasn't printed by Pictures On Walls so can't be verified by Pest Control." That isn't true. They can authenticate them.
The Seller then adds - "Sold as seen." With apologies if the seller is legit, I'd say that sums it up.
So, I hope I haven't p*ss*d anyone off by posting this. I post in good faith. I just wouldn't want anyone to lay out a lot of money for what is a very rare print, only to find out they've been stung.

But oh what I would give for one of these bad boys

Yes, it wasn't printed by POW, but Pest Control will authenticate it if it is legit.

That all said does anyone remember that video where they interview the guy from modern multiples and they destroy all the LA proof prints and sketches, it makes me weep everytime lol

Sale Ends on eBay, by dotdot on Jan 6, 2013 14:17:49 GMT 1, as ak said earlier.
pc will review and, if deemed authentic, authenticate it, if asked.
..just like they did for my festival.
if they'd refused i'd be interested to hear why ?
(and no it's nfs, so please don't pm me).

Sale Ends on eBay, by craigf on Jan 6, 2013 14:40:49 GMT 1, When it finished last time it said reserve not met so didn't sell. Yesterday I spotted a Rude Copper that had been dry mounted on eBay with the seller wanting ยฃ6.5k for an unsigned print. Some people are away with the fairies with their expectations

I thought it a tad overblown when that seller said "I know what it's worth".
Evidently it didn't sell so perhaps a rethink may be in order there.
anyone have thoughts on a price for a dm rc(u) ?

Sale Ends on eBay, by craigf on Jan 6, 2013 18:18:55 GMT 1, Pricing something that is dry mounted is tricky as its a double edge sword. I bet the actual image is in better shape than most RC's as the paper creases so easily and on the wall no one would know, but that's not the point really is it. I guess first thing is to decide the going rate for a good one (ยฃ5.5k - ยฃ7k?) and discount on this (30% to 50%?) to get a price

or the under bidder for ยฃ2,954.00 and the underbidder has 973 poss feedback, so not like a newbe.

PC will authenticate all Banksy works, that is the whole point of them.
Would i buy it, no. Up to you what you do if you have read this thread.

I recently bought an old 18th century etching that was dry mounted, soaked it in the bath for a while, removed the backing from the print, dried it out and was all Good! Not sure I would want to put a RC in the bath tub tho!!
