Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by tab1 on Dec 19, 2019 6:44:38 GMT 1, Hi All! I have decided to part with my Banksy Toxic Mary print, from the unsigned edition of 600. It comes with the COA from PEST Control (I don't think I have ever asked PEST to change it to my name). Located in Rome (Italy), but happy to ship elsewhere. Transaction and shipping costs are on the buyer. Asking price: GBP 7.700The print is not mint and has some conditions issues, which deserve an explanation. This is, in brief, the (horror) story: In 2016 I have bought this print from a forum member (donโt ask me the name, I will not tell you). Unfortunately, the packing was miserable (you don't want to know the details) and the frame arrived with its glass completely broken. This scratched the front of the print. On top of that, once all the broken glass has been removed, I found out that the print was dry mounted! Therefore, armed with a lot of patience (given the impossibility to sort something out with the seller who disappeared), I decided to send the print to Graham Bignell in London for a miracle. I have to admit that his job was terrific, he removed the print from the mount and restored the front. I was not expecting such a great result! Since then, the print has rested in the drawer because my wife does not like it, and so I decided to sell it. Given the conditions issues, please look carefully at the pictures and ask for more if in doubt (I will do my best to satisfy all the requests). I have also included the receipt from Bignell studio so that you can see what he has done with the print. I have sold on this forum before, in case references are needed. Thanks for looking!

Reading through again , surely you must of applied for a refund turning up in that condition?even if seller disappeared a credit card reversal or debitcard dispute would of returned funds ?spending market price on a print then a quarter of the price again on restoration costs. |

Is there a good reason why you refuse to name the forum member who sold this? Did you ask at the time how the print was mounted? Seems strange that you say you will not name them when you ended up seriously out of pocket and potentially this could happen again to another buyer here.

If I name the forum member publicly, it would be defamation. Nevertheless, I will be happy to name it privately to anyone interested. The biggest mistake was not to ask for references...but now I have learnt my lesson. |

Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by The Italian One on Dec 19, 2019 14:17:08 GMT 1, a lot seems to be missing on basic rules
1) it should be shipped fully insured (seems like it wasn't )
2) NEVER ship art framed
3) ALWAYS see the art unframed before paying with bank transfer.
4) Ask for reference.
if both seller and buyer agreed to not follow those simple rules, then buyer keep all the risk involved.

ooooh well, but my first rule for a lovely relationship is :
- Never let your wife choose art and investment! (at least mine)
