WTB: Banksy - Barcode and Morons - Unsigned, by sidechained on Oct 21, 2015 17:36:49 GMT 1, Hi guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm looking for an unsigned Barcode (red stamp is preferred but not essential), as well as a white background unsigned Morons (UK or LA version).
Barcode is my holy-grail. I've been keeping an eye on it since I was in school, and am finally at a point where I can potentially have my own copy. If anyone has a copy, or knows someone who is interested in parting with one, please let me know. Thanks!
Edit: From a pricing perspective, for Barcode, I have seen numerous unsigned prints clearing in the ยฃ6,500 to ยฃ7,500 range over the last six months, and Morons in the low ยฃ3ks, so would be happy in that range.

Don't expect to be inundated with offers just have the cash ready when someone is selling...

WTB: Banksy - Barcode and Morons - Unsigned, by sidechained on Oct 21, 2015 18:32:33 GMT 1, Thanks for the quick responses, everyone! It sounds like a private sale is going to be the route I will have to take.
Context of how I arrived at the prices above come from recent for sale threads I've seen on the forums, eBay, as well as crawling larger auction results.
For what it's worth, here are two sales that cleared within the last month:
30 September 2015: ยฃ6,000 Hammer, ยฃ7,500 with Premium @ Sothebys
www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2015/made-in-britain-l15145/lot.269.html
21 September 2015: ยฃ6,400 on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/Banksy-Barcode-Red-Stamp-COA-Unsigned-/131603702700?clk_rvr_id=915654597197
At the end of the day, I recognize any print is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it
That being said, from what I have seen, ยฃ10,000 appears to be a bit higher than I would consider reasonable for this print at this time, but am aware that is where a gallery may stand.
I know we'd all love to have Banksy prints for pennies on the dollar, but I have no intention of low-balling any seller, and believe ยฃ7,500 is very reasonable when compared to recent transactions.
So looks like galleries are out of the question

I was quoted 10, so + VAT, it's probably long gone tbh ... so never mind.

I've been doing some gallery-hunting on my own, and if it's the same one I was quoted on, they've actually increased the price by a couple grand since you were quoted.
Thank you everyone for the feedback. You have all been very helpful

I have followed both these prints pretty closely since they are on my buy list.
Unsigned barcode are advertised privately at 7500gbp however most close at 7000gbp.
Unsigned Morons get advertised privately for 3200-3500gbp however most close at 2800-3000gbp

I remember a signed barcode being privately shopped around about 4 months ago for 14k gbp.
But honestly there's plenty of unsigned barcodes to be had in the 7500 gbp range... One seems to pop up every month and a half or so lately.

WTB: Banksy - Barcode and Morons - Unsigned, by sidechained on Nov 13, 2015 17:43:10 GMT 1, As I mentioned earlier, any print is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and I stand by that. I would absolutely consider any of the existing FS threads on here right now.
I saw that there was a bit of a debate going on, and feel like I have a very good sense of Barcode pricing, as over the course of the last month I have spoken with 8 different galleries and 5 private sellers.
What I can tell you is some sellers and galleries are more reasonable than others, and that I bought mine from a trusted gallery below what some users have offered via PM for private sale on here. I'll leave it at that.
Now who has my white Morons print?!
