Banksy Print, Canvas, WANTED, by LJCal on Jan 16, 2020 0:22:52 GMT 1, I would try to get a Soup Cans poster with some rock solid (original tube & printed receipt from purchase) provenance if it was me Good shout. I know a gallery that is selling one but I don't want to pay gallery prices. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Do we know if there are fake Peckham Rocks floating around? Or have we not yet reached that level of degeneracy yet? Your best place to buy one is on the forum, with the POW tube and invoice youโre looking at between ยฃ500-700. A member on here was selling a petrol bomb for around ยฃ700 which was legit not sure if its still available. You can pick up forgive us/exit through the gift shop posters for ยฃ50-100, make sure to get the flyer pack and envelope. Walled off box sets are also a good shout with purchase invoice for ยฃ350-400. Prices of these have come down a lot but long term they will probably do quite well once the flippers run out of ammo. Peckham rocks have never appealed to me but given the price of other Banksy ephemera they are probably fairly good value, last time I checked they were about ยฃ60-70.

__________
It isn't always straightforward to determine whether these posters are genuine โ as opposed to well-executed fakes, sometimes accompanied by faux provenance documentation (including where the relevant documentation might in itself be genuine).
By examining regular photos alone, I don't believe it's possible to confirm genuineness with any degree of certainty.
And the last thing a novice Banksy buyer should be encouraged to do is rely on assertions of authenticity from some stranger on a message board. Even if that stranger is a longstanding member, happens to be honest and is selling in good faith, they too could easily have been duped by a previous seller.

I know it was legit because I tracked the provenance and spoke to the chap he bought it from who is well known in the industry, Iโm not going to make comments on authenticity lightly. Obviously if youโre buying from anyone itโs a case of buyer beware, and to do your homework and satisfy yourself as to authenticity. With ephemera itโs difficult to get bullet proof authenticity hence why they trade at a fraction of prints with PC but if itโs being sold by someone reputable and they have supporting documents and solid provenance then that should be given weight.

The earlier ones often donโt come with invoices but I believe POW sold a bunch in 2017 and a lot of people retained purchase documents and tubes from that batch.

Banksy Print, Canvas, WANTED, by Deleted on Jan 21, 2020 20:02:39 GMT 1, I have set of prints (Genuine) Gross Domestic Product store - not having money, my grand children bestowed them on me, knowing I am Banksy fan. I feel honored to have them and consider them REAL - It saddens me that 'Fakes' are being bandied about but as I say for people short of funds, I am grateful for the Banksy GDP print gesture, and more grateful for the beautiful grand children that care so much about me.
cherish them, like the tenners they hold experience value, don't let the sharks reel you in to create a market. Somethings don't need money thrown at them.

I am only communicating with the ones that have a good post history and are happy to meet face to face. I mean, I cant imagine anything worse than spending ยฃ700 on something and finding out its fugazi..... I am now curious, have any members on here ever been stung? Story time?!
Sounds like a reasonable approach.
The chances of not getting ripped off tend to improve when dealing with a seller who isn't cagey about disclosing their full name and contact details โ including telephone number, email, and/or home or work address.
Picking up on what you've also mentioned, I believe it's usually possible to get a good sense of where a forum member's priorities and values lie by:
(i) accessing their profile; (ii) clicking 'View this member's recent posts.'; and (iii) reading one or two pages of their recent posts.
__________
Still, the above precautions are a long way from foolproof.
While a seller's openness and helpful contributions will of course be reassuring, these are just possible indicators of integrity. And solely of that seller's own integrity.
Yet plenty of collectibles on the market will have had more than a single previous owner.
In such cases, the fact your seller might be a good person offers insufficient protection. You would still be forced to gamble โ and usually without access to all the information needed to properly assess the risks, because an item's full history quite often isn't disclosed to buyers. [Not only are these buyers then left with gaps in provenance, they might even be ignorant of their ignorance, i.e. blissfully unaware that links in the chain of ownership were withheld from them.]
The decision to buy could therefore require partial reliance on faith instead of evidence. In other words, with each of these acquisitions, you could be betting blind on the following:
- that none of the previous owners (including those you may have never met and/or whose very existence you're oblivious to) behaved dishonestly in connection with the relevant item; or alternatively
- that your seller is trustworthy, and also possesses the specialist knowledge or expertise to know the item they acquired (and are reselling to you) is genuine, rather than just a credible-looking fake.
__________
Following due diligence, you may be satisfied regarding authenticity and happy to go ahead with specific purchases.
But before taking the leap with anything expensive, do consider whether you in turn could make other collectors comfortable enough to buy the items if you decided to resell them in the future.
Were you able to inspect that Petrol Bomb poster in person to verify it was legitimate? __________ It isn't always straightforward to determine whether these posters are genuine โ as opposed to well-executed fakes, sometimes accompanied by faux provenance documentation (including where the relevant documentation might in itself be genuine). By examining regular photos alone, I don't believe it's possible to confirm genuineness with any degree of certainty. And the last thing a novice Ban ksy buyer should be encouraged to do is rely on assertions of authenticity from some stranger on a message board. Even if that stranger is a longstanding member, happens to be honest and is selling in good faith, they too could easily have been duped by a previous seller. Some good points made! I am having this issue at the moment... I have had a few members PM me with various bits and pieces for sale. I am only communicating with the ones that have a good post history and are happy to meet face to face. I mean, I cant imagine anything worse than spending ยฃ700 on something and finding out its fugazi..... I am now curious, have any members on here ever been stung? Story time?!
