I heard the condition wasn't great on any of them, far from decent and no where near mint.

Wow prices probably good then considering poor conditions

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by Eton Groover on Nov 17, 2016 16:21:26 GMT 1, Prices look OK but the seller would only receive in the region of 65-70% of the actual prices above. For example the seller would get in the region of ยฃ11k for the trolleys, circa ยฃ9k for the signed CND and soup cans, and about ยฃ7k for the rude copper. It puts a lot of the prices that are asked for on here in perspective. As long as they are not ripped or creased the condition isn't that important to most people.

These are indeed quite low net for the seller, because with no more effort than a phone call most galleries would have consigned / bought for more than that
Really is down to knowing exactly how minor / major the condition issues were, because if the issues were minor all of these prints would fly at those prices, especially the RC !!

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by Unica on Nov 17, 2016 16:54:08 GMT 1, I'm in the camp that condition is important, i'd rather pay a premium and get as close to mint as possible. My OCD would drive me crazy looking at a print with condition issues. Plus if I ever needed to sell, I know that many Banksy buyers are very condition conscious by the number of wanted posts requesting mint condition, i've not see many saying condition isn't an issue. I expect this is why the seller stuck them in the auction, hoping to get someone who didn't care or a buyer that didn't do there due diligence. Easy hassle free sale.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by Eton Groover on Nov 17, 2016 17:22:53 GMT 1, There is an awful lot of price protection goes on here and the hype is self fulfilling. Every Banksy seems to go for more than the last one. One seller on here was "inundated" by offers, even some over their ยฃ11k asking price, for an unsigned Barcode when there was one sitting in a gallery for ยฃ12k. How desperate are you that you just don't pay the extra ยฃ1k. If 11k isn't a problem, then surely neither is ยฃ12!. (The unsigned gallery Barcode is still available at ยฃ12k btw) There were two Choose your Weapons at over ยฃ20k in the last few weeks. Of course none of these sales are verified or verifiable, but simply serve increase the hype and excitement about how much everyone's Banksy is worth. Banksy is very popular but not as popular as people on this forum think. In here you are preaching to the converted.

You appear fixated with that barcode sale & the fact that another is still available at prescription art for a slightly higher price, maybe you need another hobby to pass the time constructively?

That's a bit of a strange thing to say after the recent Banksy Forum Auction in London town. I think all the prints went for a lot more than what they are being sold for on here - certainly including buyers premium. Secondly, ยฃ1,000 is a fair bit of money to some people. Why pay 12k if you can pay ยฃ11k would be a more sensible view. Thirdly, I went specifically to prescription art (took a chunk out of my day) recently to look at a few pieces...they couldn't even be bothered to open up on time and the place looked a mess. Some people prefer to go private as they know galleries take a large slice and seem to think all prints they have are mint. Anyway, each to their own.

Perhaps the site resolves to multiple DNS names.
Edit: well I'll be damned. When I posted, the site changed http:// banksyforum . proboards . com/ to urbanartassociation.com, so definitely it is a DNS alias.

Lot Details Banksy (British, born 1975) Jail Break 2010
signed and dated 2010 on the reverse stencil spray paint and household gloss on found metal
172.1 by 92.7 by 7.3 cm. 67 3/4 by 36 1/2 by 2 7/8 in. Footnotes
This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Pest Control Office.
Provenance Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in 2012
Banksy's Jail Break, from the collection of renowned multiple Olympic gold-medalist snowboarder Shaun White, is a celebration of the transformative power of art. This may seem surprising for a work constructed from riveted panels of steel, in the form of a substantial and seemingly impenetrable prison door, and yet, alongside some of the artist's best works Jail Break is heavy metal with a light touch.
Being almost life-sized in scale, with raw cut edges and a rusted reinforced sill, Jail Break's sense of confinement is quickly dispelled by the artist's mischievous rendition of a hand extending out from behind the bars to draw the outline of a door handle which will eventually liberate the cell's occupant. Is this an image of Britain's most wanted and elusive graffiti artist absconding from custody for his crimes against public property? Perhaps, although what is clear is that this work continues the artist's exploration of the notion of freedom.
Whilst this might seem a little odd for an artist who has built himself an international profile operating under a pseudonym, Banksy's anonymity has allowed him to execute ambitious and often controversial public artworks without disruption. His sheer bravado has granted him an almost mythical status amongst his growing army of followers which in turn has allowed him the platform to champion his own personal brand of political activism. The appearance of a new 'Banksy' instantly triggers an overwhelming level of activity on social media, and is testimony to the incredible success of this graffiti artist outsider, who on his own terms has achieved the seemingly impossible feat of conquering the art world in his own inimitable way.
The stencil for Jail Break made its public appearance in 2010 on the side of an unassuming Bail Bonds building in New York. The addition of Banksy's artwork, positioned where one might imagine a back door to appear, gives the work the visual immediacy and humour that we have come to expect from the artist. Two gallery works each with unique variations were also executed in the same year, of which the present example is the first to appear on the open market.
It is perhaps fitting that Jail Break comes from the collection of celebrated snowboarder Shaun White, who, like Banksy, defied all odds to become a leading international figure in his field. As a young boy White recovered from multiple operations to correct a congenital heart condition and, undeterred by adversity, developed an early passion for skate and snowboarding which he pursued with dedication. White's commitment paid off through a multitude of sporting achievements, including two Olympic gold medals and the accolade of amassing the highest overall medal wins at the X games.
If there ever was a sport that embodied the ideals of freedom, then snowboarding with its romantic combination of open mountain vistas, unsullied snow and 'wind in the hair' exhilaration must be top of the list, and White, as one of its leading practitioners, has been instrumental in positioning what was originally an underground sport, well and truly into the mainstream.
In recent times street art has witnessed this same momentous shift in perception, in part due to Banksy's phenomenal success. This popularity has allowed him to widely disseminate his political viewpoint and here lies the transformative potential of his art. Whether or not the escapee here is the artist is irrelevant, the owner of that hand could be anyone and this universality is where Jail Break's power lies.
