The stamp is definitely lower than on my Flags, and I would say one difference on my COA is the image in the top right on mine is a lot darker and more prominent than on this one - but I wouldn't have a clue if they vary from one COA to the next one. 

Yeah, don’t get me started!

Thanks for all the pms and i can assure you there was a lot and those i did not get back to i am sorry but noboby came up with any thing i really liked or wanted...

I am likely going to look to sell my Flags print in the coming weeks/months. Being totally transparent my timing will be dependant upon upcoming auctions and the results arising.

I am the original owner and am registered as being so with Pest Control. I have applied for a COA but am awaiting a response although I do have an email from Dora Dewsbury (PC) from around 10 years ago confirming my ownership. I still have the original receipt, packaging and charity postcard. Please don’t bust my chops about the COA situation, I predicted a rise in the popularity of Banksy but not to the levels witnessed recently.

The print is currently framed and in excellent condition. It was framed initially immediately after purchase but I reframed it in around 2010. I honestly cannot remember the framing specifications as at the time it was not a particularly expensive print. I do know that spacers were used to keep the print away from the glass and that no mount was used. It is not currently on my wall and is stored in a safe space and away from sunlight - whether that has any relevance or not, I don’t know.

I am not going to set an asking price at present as the market has shifted so much recently and will likely move again as auctions results from the coming weeks start to come in. I am not in a rush to sell and don’t particularly want to be messed about with low offers.

I am based in Ayrshire, Scotland and would rather a face to face deal with payment being made via bank transfer. Finer details can be discussed if/when a deal is agreed.

I would be happy to DM photos to anyone genuinely interested.

Please get in touch if you want to discuss this further and please don’t be despondent if I do not sell at this time or via this forum.

If I have missed any information on this post, please just ask and I’ll do my best to answer.

Thanks and hopefully hear from some interested for United in due course.

I think the other sales thread is looking to trade. I might be wrong.

I am looking to sell, not trade. Just to be clear.

Hard to ignore it doesn't have the COA in place, may be best to wait.

Sorry to see you need to sell this @plurker - probably not that many around that are still with their original owners and all credit to you for the transparency in condition. GLWTS!

You beat me to it! I think I’ll bide my time and see what the future holds.

Just waiting for the rest of the 997 owners to make an appearance although I’m fairly certain there will be less than that given how easily the print can be damaged. It was always going happen after the most recent auction results.

If this sells will you be making a donation to help perform cataract operations on children in Bangladesh?
Just curious. Not that it's any of my business but it would be cool if you did. GLWTS
 

Beautiful print!

When did we start caring about what OP does with the money gained from a sale?

Are we also asking if galleries are donating to organizations in need? Do people ask if Christie’s or Sotheby’s record sales have percentages going to others, or just back into already wealthy individuals pockets who own these auction houses?

I have a silver Flags for sale.

It has a slight crease in the corner and a slight dink from handling I'd guess. Rest looks decent enough for a Flags. Photos of both below.

It is stored flat and has Pest Control CoA in my name and also original handling instructions from Santa's Ghetto / PoW.

Appreciating that above may off-set the price a little from my current sky-high expectations I'm willing to throw in a Monkey Parliament poster from Bristol Museum for the purpose of showing the above condition issues on the Flags are not too bad after all. I purchased the poster direct from the museum and as you may expect of a £10 poster has been treated accordingly - fixed to the wall via drawing pins at each corner. I've included a photo of one corner so that you can understand extent of damage.

Please PM me sensible offers. Based near Manchester.

Would appreciate any advice in respect of safest way to complete transaction for both parties.

Initial draft of PM's now responded to. Both still available.
