Oh dear.

775 posts and you rule the world.  Good luck with that.

I wish i could have jumped to 100's of posts and be as amazing as you are, but sadly we all have to start somewhere.

No point discussing the fact that i have no idea who the seller is, it will only give you some crumbs to discuss over the water cooler.

By all means PM me if you want to quiz me further on this or challenge my newbie status that you seem fixated with.  I'm happy to say hello in private.  

I love all the wide format prints from the 2003 period, although I think all would be held in much higher regard if they didn't have the titles/text on them.

Regardless, with or without text... they're all classics.

All of them would work without the text... and have more impact too IMO.

So much so that I've often thought of re-framing mine hiding the text.

to me but the pencilling of the numbers doesn't look like POW ones i have seen.

The pencil looks to think and i wouldn't trust these with a barge pole (without a COA that is)

Phage - firstly seeing as you sent me a slightly sh**ty PM before you posted your reply I don't think there would be any point in me sending you a message to say Hello !

Maybe you're not the same guy and if that's the case then I apologise. What you need to know is that there have been a few brand new members coming on to sell things recently that have turned out to be fake or damaged (if you'd have been on here longer then you'd have seen what happened to Einstein recently) and there always seems to be another new username popping up to defend them and try and to sometimes try and boost their thread and people are suspicious of this.

I certainly don't think I'm amazing because I've got over 700 posts, that probably shows that I have too much time on my hands! I have sold on here before but I decided to wait a while until people realised that I wasn't just here to try and flog stuff.

Please note my comment 'if' you're not the same person - you probably didn't understand it but that apology came with that caveat attached.

As for being educated, I think it might be beneficial for you to look at some other for sale threads and see the wariness other brand new members sometimes received when they come on here trying to flog something. That might educate you a bit and help you to understand.

Hi Guys, Firstly I do not know phage or any other forum member although it's always nice when someone sticks up for me. As I said yesterday I have sent off the details of my prints to get COA's after many comments and advice from other forum members. I do not expect anybody here to trust me, why should you? For all you know I am an axe welding murderer waiting to chop up and eat any of you stupid enough to deal with me!!! Seriously though I only found this forum when my personal circumstances changed recently and was left with a sink or swim option, I Googled Banksy and ended up here. I have had my collection for many years and never till last week considered selling anything or buying anything more.so had no reason to find this forum. I have also read other forum members accounts of nightmare experiences and can quite understand them and others that read these stories being very wary indeed. I understand the more reasonable members comments are nothing personal, just them taking nothing as read unless there is proof that what is said is true. I would like to think that all but the most thick headed out there after seeing the photos I posted of my collection would see that they are 1, Photos I have taken and not downloaded from the internet and 2, That the only things that could be fake are the prints that at the moment have no COA's and 3, All the books and stickers are not fakes so that even without proof (so far) of the prints authentictity I do have some genuine stuff. If there was a rule saying forum members can not post threads in the For Sale section untill they have 500 posts then obviously I would be looking to fleabay or the various gallerys in London to sell my stuff. That is still an option even though I know full well any gallery or dealer will do their best to shaft any seller that approached them, at least the ones I met in my time as a courier. To end on a positive note I have had a bucket load of responses to my thread and many many PM's and while yesterday I did not manage to get away from my keyboard for more than 5 mins I now have a high regard for many forum members that have been in contact with me even though I have never met any of them. Yet.
Peace to you all even the grumpy ones!!
