Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by bearh on Oct 17, 2014 14:33:02 GMT 1, I am considering selling my unsigned Banksy Gangsta Rat but I don't have a COA. I am the only person that has owned this piece and I have the original receipt from Art Republic in my name.
I wondered if anyone could give me an idea of the price of these now? Also, should I get a COA - does that make a lot of difference?
The rat has been hanging on my wall - it was professionally framed by Art Republic.
I've googled but can't find any for sale at present that I can compare the price with. Any advice will be very much appreciated.
Cheers!

And "professionally framed by art republic", are words that should never be used to create a sentence im afraid to have to say.
Id probably have it out of the frame and check for fading before selling it.

Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by bearh on Oct 17, 2014 14:45:11 GMT 1, Yeah, it's the only Banksy I own so I'm not a collector. I just bought it on a whim when it first got released because I thought Banksy might do well. For once, I was right!
I will get a COA.

Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by DrWhite on Oct 17, 2014 15:48:09 GMT 1, You will get an email offering you a COA for the usual fee, reasonably quickly if you are the first & only owner, and there isn't a long trail to check for ownership continuity. Especially if you have original supporting documents for your purchase.

Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by BrotherBern on Oct 17, 2014 16:24:54 GMT 1, My rat, which was framed by Art Republic before I bought it, has a slightly darker rim around the edge (approx 5mm). I was advised by my framer that he thought it was more likely to be a result of the mount rather than the rest of the paper fading? I have now had it reframed to conservation standards and the mount covers the darker edge. Any one else heard that theory?

Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by craigf on Oct 17, 2014 20:27:53 GMT 1, Art Republic framing generally means Nielsen frame, no UV glass, some tape on the print and potentially non conservation standard mount.... nothing to worry about
Wait that's all wrong, get it out quick!!

Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by peted on Oct 17, 2014 23:56:20 GMT 1, Would agree with craigf but no cheap fix with having to get CoA - I had to pay £65+ for a recent Banksy print. If Art Republic are thinking of going global they need to start getting their act together re CoAs and I'm not just talking about Banksys. Otherwise they are going to get some seriously bad reviews.

Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by bearh on Oct 18, 2014 15:37:53 GMT 1, How do I post pics? I'm new to all this! I'm happy to do that so you know I am legit.
Also, I guess I have to blur out the number, or you will all know I have 101/350? Just kidding - obviously that isn't the number of my print!
Thanks for all the replies and PMs so far.

Banksy • Gangsta Rat Print, by RetroCanvas on Nov 26, 2014 13:28:36 GMT 1, I need to get a valuation of a signed Gangsta Rat for insurance purposes...
Anyone know how to go about this, who to use, is there a cost etc?
Can it be done online?
Thanks in advance
