Banksy Napalm Unsigned with COA, by singo369 on Jun 16, 2016 16:03:25 GMT 1, I'm selling my unsigned Napalm by Banksy with COA and the print is registered in my name
โจI bought this framed and stuck it straight on the wall until I found the time to get it reframed.
When I unframed It i discovered it was actually held in place using masking tape, about 3mm around the whole print! no tape was used on the back! I carefully peeled it off and the left, right and bottom came off fine but sadly the top of the print suffered some fibre loss, if you look you can see it clearly,in one area particularly, I've taken pictures and if you have a look at the whole print you'll see it isn't horrendous
Also the last picture before the COA is trying to capture the tape damage in the 3rd & 4th photo ,it can be repaired or framed easily to hide the small damage
โจ
Any questions please message me, forum references are available! I'm lucky enough to have a holiday arranged from the 22nd and not back until 3rd July but I will post promptly on my return!
.Thanks

Banksy Napalm Unsigned with COA, by Black Apple Art on Jun 16, 2016 22:45:36 GMT 1, singo369 sorry to hear about your print and if you don't mind I'd like to use your sales post as a reminder to all of two very important things to remember.
1) ALWAYS have your framed art de-framed and inspected before purchase or at the very least do it yourself immediately after purchase with the agreement if there is any undisclosed damage it can be returned (only if the seller is reputable and trusted). In my experience over the years I'd say close to 75% of framed B pieces had mounting issues that could only be seen when removed and 95% on the reverse and looked perfect framed. Some were even spray mounted and basically worthless but bought for full price to an unfortunate buyer.
2) Upon discovery of damage, especially adhesive issues, NEVER try to remove it yourself and take to a reputable restoration house. Not all adhesive issues are fully repairable but many can be safely removed with proper moisture and solvent application that only a specialized expert should do.
Good luck w the sale and hopefully something positive can come out of this to prevent others from ending up with a similar situation.

What would a good price be ? ยฃ1500-ยฃ2000?
It's so minimal I would get a guillotine and trim the edges ,
A lot of gwb have been trimmed and they still command a high price

I'm guessing that is where the price is, as I can't see a price anywhere.

Hiya, I know , I know! I was careful and both sides and the bottom came off easy, it was when I got to the top but I hit the problem. It's honestly not that bad, I'm just being honest and I'm getting the feeling most people really aren't bothered.

...and that it was a poor price and only a drunkard would buy. So it's Friday night, with a bit of luck somebody will get hammered and the print sells, job done.
If the drunk buyer isnt looking to float it or stick it in his folio to look at once a year then 3mm stain will never be seen again, job done again.

When I unframed It i discovered it was actually held in place using masking tape, about 3mm around the whole print! no tape was used on the back! I carefully peeled it off and the left, right and bottom came off fine but sadly the top of the print suffered some fibre loss, if you look you can see it clearly,in one area particularly, I've taken pictures and if you have a look at the whole print you'll see it isn't horrendous Also the last picture before the COA is trying to capture the tape damage in the 3rd & 4th photo ,it can be repaired or framed easily to hide the small damage โจ Any questions please message me, forum references are available!

Banksy Napalm Unsigned with COA, by pinkerton on Jun 18, 2016 9:37:57 GMT 1, singo369 sorry to hear about your print and if you don't mind I'd like to use your sales post as a reminder to all of two very important things to remember. 1) ALWAYS have your framed art de-framed and inspected before purchase or at the very least do it yourself immediately after purchase with the agreement if there is any undisclosed damage it can be returned (only if the seller is reputable and trusted). In my experience over the years I'd say close to 75% of framed B pieces had mounting issues that could only be seen when removed and 95% on the reverse and looked perfect framed. Some were even spray mounted and basically worthless but bought for full price to an unfortunate buyer. 2) Upon discovery of damage, especially adhesive issues, NEVER try to remove it yourself and take to a reputable restoration house. Not all adhesive issues are fully repairable but many can be safely removed with proper moisture and solvent application that only a specialized expert should do. Good luck w the sale and hopefully something positive can come out of this to prevent others from ending up with a similar situation.
I am not saying you are wrong, but its quite funny that something is worthless if it can only look good framed on the wall, but not stored in an acid free sleeve under your bed...

Banksy Napalm Unsigned with COA, by djvlnt on Jun 18, 2016 16:02:30 GMT 1, It's is the new world of collectors that care this much about scratches, tape marks an so on.a few years back, focus wasn't like this. And look at the Warholds results at auction, the damage has to be really bad for having any affect on the end price. Like totally faded colours because of sun or so.
I wonder why people suddenly care that much about condition. I'm
Not judging anyone, because they are just a part of the market, but could it be because the new world of collectors arent the same as the ones buying the Warholds so we have determinate our own conditions? Because we started collecting back when we did not have any cash and a Banksy did cost 75ยฃ and now we suddenly have bigger pay checks and really expensive art? Or because some people wants to make a bargain?
