We had one stuck on the wall with drawing pins and left it in the old flat when we moved out. I think the landlord (also a mate) screwed it up and chucked it in the bin when he redecorated.

I have a real one but paid bout £50 on the bay

The real ones have a quite deep folding crease horizontal and vertical as they were folded into four

I think the guy who sent me this has conned me I have just read deeply through all his feedback and it seems as if he has conned many other people. What shall I do I am not happy with my purchase.

Contact him and tell him you want your money back. If he wont contact ebay and explain that youve bought a fake item. File a dispute with paypal that the item is fake. Should be enough to get your money back

I bought an unfolded one about 18 months ago from ebay - the print is really clear and the text very sharp.

The person I bought it from had loads of them. The problem with this one is that the original artwork is probably floating around some where and someone has just gone to a printer and had a few hundred knocked up. Still a great image though.

Just reported it, he definately a con i want to see him closed down. He doesnt sell anything else art apart from this one print sounds dodgy. The only other things he sells is locks.

These have been discussed several times on the forum so you may wish to do a quick search to find out more info. You will probably find that the seller questioned at the time is the same one now. Pay no more than you would pay for the image as they are worth next to nothing from an investment perspective. I made an offer of £5 on one that was repeatedly up for sale
by a seller on ebay, won it and I'm 99% sure its not from the original batch but I just wanted the image to display at work. Presume there repos unless they can be proved otherwise (impossible with regards to this flyer).

Hi Rob

There is an awful lot of fake Greenpeace posters out there. I bought 2 originals from a very good source a couple of years ago when I started buying Banksy prints. At the time these were very, very rarely seen on ebay. For that reason I paid 220 pounds for a very rare unfolded one and 120 pounds for an at the time rare folded one.

This past 12 months or more though there is quite a few people selling many of these. The fact that they have sold so many of these rare posters kind of shows they are fakes and that they must have been printing a lot of them off themselves. The ebay seller "plumpboomboom" is a fine example of this. I bought one off her for a friend just over a year ago and it turned out to be a fake (I was able to compare it to the 2 real ones that I have and there was a big difference).

As for what you can do now, if you report the item to paypal (if you paid through them), then they should return your money to you and let the seller lose out as they rightfully should.

I hope this helps.

PM also sent.

Cheers,

will pay about £65 for an unfolded one....

The real authentic were!

last two £68 and £60 both unfolded.
if anyone has one to sell make me offer...........

I would stay clear of unfolded on ebay, actually ebay all together - they are sooo fake! good luck

I see there is another Banksy poster for Greenpeace's campaign Save or Delete on Ebay. This one has been folded, as I have been told most of them were. Does anyone know how many of these were printed off, or if there are fakes out there? Worth the investment? I like the image but I don't want it if some ebay pirate is just printing them off his home Epson.

I love this image. Not sure that there are that many out there, or at least they don't seem to come up on ebay that often but ultimately they are, as Silky says, only a poster. Still, I'd pay a few quid just to have one on the wall.
