Art Wanted, by Richy Rich on Apr 22, 2022 12:33:47 GMT 1, I totally think there's no point in archival framing something from WCP they are fakes and you can get another one each month they just keep printing them then you sell them and pass them on and try to make money on them... any one that buys this needs there head tested or has more money than sense... or the seller thinks they are gonna be worth Ferrari money and thinks its a good idea your analogy doesn't make sense like archival frameing shite cheap reproductions..  So what you're saying is that personally you wouldn't have got them archivally framed (understandable) so therefore the OP overpaid because they decided to? When you see Ferrari's driving down the road to you shout out to the owners that they overpaid because your Austin Maestro only cost ยฃ70? Fair enough they both drive but ultimately one is a bit shit and some people like spending money on things that look nice...

Personally I'm not a fan of WCP's either and wouldn't get them expensively framed. However, it makes no sense to suggest the OP has paid too much for their framing choice and then try to justify it by comparing it to a sub standard framing option instead? |

Too say their fake is a matter of opinion,too say the framings expensive is a matter of opinion.
Imo,WCP are a good choice for banksy fan followers, it's the closest to the real thing and they're limited in numbers, good investment with something to enjoy and display ๐ฏ

Jesus...that last line is a thing of beauty. The only fact in all this drivel is that you wouldn't personally pay more than ยฃ70 to have these framed. Which is 100% fine and your choice. Well done you. |

And the framing comment is not a matter of opinion its fact.
It's the best banksy (copy) of the original, same process, same paper quality, who's producing WCP prints? Who knows
It's not (fake) it's a (copy) that's like saying every print after the 1st original print is a copy and so on...
These are original WCP limited prints to whomever's behind this WCP idea
It Wouldn't surprise me if you'll see fake copys of WCP's one day in the future

Art Wanted, by Acme Thunderer on Apr 22, 2022 17:03:09 GMT 1, I just got an email from this gallery and they were advertising WCP as framed by MFM and selling from ยฃ350 - ยฃ495.
Fizzy - they call them replicas ๐๐๐
www.eyelikeart.co.uk/collections/west-country-prince
However I do own a WCP but bought mine in 2011 (for ยฃ56) and is framed with museum glass but only because I reused an old frame.

Art Wanted, by Forbidden Love on Apr 23, 2022 0:04:16 GMT 1, Not sure why you felt the need to comment but thatโs all good.
Yes the framing cost more then the print.
Yes more then ยฃ70.
Yes there are cheaper framers.
BUTโฆ. These were not for me, but for a company I work for. I was just recouping costs for them as they closed the office space. They wanted these images and we had a set budget for an amount of works and they used one framer for the whole office so were fine with it. The frames regardless of cost had to look good and the same.
As mentioned WCPs are copies not fakes, they are not trying to be the genuine print. Some people hang them as they are fans of banksy and donโt have to worry about the cost. You can still enjoy them Iโm sure.

Normally it turns into a argument, it also jeopardiseโs someones sale.
If you don't like the piece that's for sale then don't buy it, its really that simple! If you want to discuss a piece then start up a new topic!!!

Did you mean โtow the lineโ? Never mind thinking about putting a toe on that line either!
As a fellow language lover, please allow me to join in the pedantry:
Where "the line" represents a rule, standard, or code of conduct that is expected or demanded of an individual who is a member of a particular group (such as a soldier, employee, company director, political party activist, government minister, or somebody on a sports team), the correct verb is indeed to "toe".
"Toeing the line" in this context is to figuratively bring one's toes as closely as possible to that line โ the same line where the toes of everyone else in the group are also positioned.
__________
By way of aside, my own stance aligns with the one @fizzy has embraced regarding the very purpose of a message board.
Every thread or post should be viewed as an invitation to other members to comment.
With respect to artwork being sold on this forum, as far as I'm concerned, the most logical, appropriate and convenient place to discuss the merits and pricing of that art is in the relevant sale threads.
Open discussion in these sale threads can be highly beneficial, for less-experienced buyers in particular โ especially if it encourages them to pause, reconsider, and think things through more carefully.
Sellers also seem to love discussion on the sale threads they initiate โ at least when the comments are enthusiastic or fawning. I've only ever seen attempts by sellers to shut down debate when some of the posts start to become critical. It is a double standard that is often transparent. And embarrassingly so.

Agreed about the last couple of paragraphs, a discussion about a thread is a good thing, however when someone is selling something its not good to bombard it with negativity! Everyone has a valid opinion but there are other threads for that, not on someones forsale thread, especially if your just going to jeopardise it by saying who ever owns one are fools etc etc. It is good to question everything and get the facts, but that is down to the buyer to do this before committing to something, not someone who just wants to voice their view on someone's for sale page and jeopardise a sale. That is why there are other threads on here to be able to do that

How you can justify spending on archival framing for a reproduction ( a poor one at that ) is beyond normalcy imo. It says so much about the person who actually buys this rubbish and hopes for it to go up in value.
To be honest. Why donโt ya just print out the stuff Banksy says is ok to print and hang up?

I agree to a point but from what I understand, is that the op is just asking for less then what hes paid for, so they do not seem to be hoping it will go up in value?Unfortunately most people cant afford the real deal so go to WCP to get the picture they want, yes they can print else where for cheaper but if they are happy getting it from WCP then each to their own, iv seen good and bad copies but if the buyer is happy then whys it matter?
I just think esp in this case even tho its good to give facts, theres a time and place and on someones forsale thread is neither as it can jeopardise the sale esp when it turns into a massive discussion and the sale then gets lost and especially where theres other threads to do that on.

It says so much about the person who actually buys this rubbish and hopes for it to go up in value. To be honest. Why donโt ya just print out the stuff Banksy says is ok to print and hang up?
the OP provides an explanation as to why MFM was used for these. OP aside, I doubt many of us know the details but it sounds like it was an easy decision for a company to make - a number of prints to be framed, mibbe all in similar style, paying a few quid extra for framing than what most, if not all of us would pay for WCP framing but likely to be much less hassle overall. Doesnt sound like the company purchased hoping theyโd go up in value.
Not a WCP fan myself but each to their own as to how they spend their hard earned.
The fact people buy into WCP just goes to show what Banksy says consumerism is all about. How you can justify spending on archival framing for a reproduction ( a poor one at that ) is beyond normalcy imo.

Last 2/3 auctions before fees have been 13-18k I reckon but I havenโt worked it out exactly
