Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Deleted on Sept 16, 2017 9:59:23 GMT 1, So koreema decided to go on the Bay At least this seller is being honest and has actually stated the facts in the listing,ย if they do bid on this well you cannot blame the seller surely?
"Unsigned, unlimited edition" please do not post eBay links- dappy
Why does it show price in dollars though when it is a U.K based listing?

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by eschiff on Sept 16, 2017 14:30:15 GMT 1, So. I'm sat in the hotel at the moment - what a crazy place. Had the tour with Alaa this afternoon which was wonderful and about to do the hotel tour before the concert this evening.
My experience with the prints and sculptures was really pleasant. The Reality is a lot are stuck at customs so they only sell what's let through. When I arrived they happened to open and I got a large sculpture. But it only would've been for the 10 people who happened to be in the hotel st the time.
For the prints, they may unlimited but there are none currently in the hotel. However, the staff are great and anyone staying in the hotel they'll ship the box print to you which is fantastic. Saves me carrying it around.
It's not like a M&S where you can rock up and buy anything you want. They have a handful of stuff that is brought out at random times and you can buy one if you're here.

Are there any box sets in the hotel today?

Hey mate I left this morning back to London and they didn't. They're just all in customs at the moment. As I said before though, if you're staying there they'll sort you out.

Ah I'd disagree Carl. Transfer is $125. Busses from tel aviv to Jerusalem leave every 10 minutes and costs approx 4 quid. Then you could either walk or jump in a taxi to the checkpoint (8-10 quid) then the hotel is a 5 minute walk from the checkpoint.

Its all choice, but after 10 hours of travelling ( check in, wait, fly, wait, collect bags) id rather just get there, save hassle and get a free bit of local info from the driver on route.... ours was pretty much a tour from the airport

We know that in Sabat (from Friday dusk to Saturday dusk) it might be problem with buses and public means of transport. So i think it's better to me to get back to the BEN GURION from Hotel via TWOH Transport if i have to go home at Saturday. Do you think the same?

Yes for sure. If you're returning on Shabbat it's your only option actually.

It looks lovely, and I want one, but it's really small!

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Fะฏ on Sept 21, 2017 0:07:02 GMT 1, The box set is already selling for less than ยฃ3000 than the first one that sold. All shilled.
There is one on ebay now for just over ยฃ4k buy it now thats only just sold. Still many more to appear after this as well once everyones orders come over.
these will get down to the ยฃ1-2k mark quite quickly when more come online, which i think is fair for this.

Still many more to appear on eaby after this. these will get down to the ยฃ1-2k mark quite quickly when more come online, which i think is fair for this. I don't think they're necessarily fake sales. I think it's more likely that when something first hits the open market, there are a bunch of collectors with deep pockets who get very excited and want one. Then the market cools a bit, and prices come back down to reality. I think that, despite the relatively low cost of buying the print, the difficulty in obtaining one will set the market around $3-4K over the next few months (If you add up the true cost of obtaining one if you live in the US, you're probably talking about $2000 at the minimum; and then you have to add the opportunity cost of taking time off from work, etc.). When they stop being produced, they'll slowly go up in value. Or, based on the way his other stuff is going, slow will be a relative term.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Howard Johnson on Sept 21, 2017 0:20:51 GMT 1, This question has probably already been answered, and I understand that this poster is only available in person, but why are people paying thousands of dollars for an open edition print that wont even be eligible for a COA? Its unlimited right? I imagine they only made a certain amount because of the framing and wall inside of it, but its still not a set edition. Quite like the image myself, and hoping for a post-release price dip!

I think people might of thought it maybe was another 'Banksy stunt' and might of been a bit more limited than they let on? It does seem rather strange, but people with money or just he uninformed might not realise what they are buying into? How can something be worth more on the secondary when it's still available from source ( I understand getting to the walled off to buy in person isn't cheap or practical, but still) you might think picking a few up and posting them if you are local wouldn't be worth a thousand or more dollars?

Ok good. I've found that if you can wait out the hype on popular releases like this, there's always a nice 1-2 month window where the flippers start unloading/undercutting before you start to see a slow rise in price. The wait begins...

Evian water still available from source. Still sells for more than you could pay for it at source. I think that's a bad argument. Clearly there is a considerable amount of opportunity cost in order to obtain one of these.

Quite like the image myself, and hoping for a post-release price dip! I think people might of thought it maybe was another 'Banksy stunt' and might of been a bit more limited than they let on? It does seem rather strange, but people with money or just he uninformed might not realise what they are buying into? How can something be worth more on the secondary when it's still available from source ( I understand getting to the walled off to buy in person isn't cheap or practical, but still) you might think picking a few up and posting them if you are local wouldn't be worth a thousand or more dollars? Evian water still available from source. Still sells for more than you could pay for it at source. I think that's a bad argument. Clearly there is a considerable amount of opportunity cost in order to obtain one of these.

Can anyone just go fill up a bottle at the Evian source? I doubt it. I'm sure Evian would have something to say about it!

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by ferg on Sept 21, 2017 7:18:10 GMT 1, This question has probably already been answered, and I understand that this poster is only available in person, but why are people paying thousands of dollars for an open edition print that wont even be eligible for a COA? Its unlimited right? I imagine they only made a certain amount because of the framing and wall inside of it, but its still not a set edition. Quite like the image myself, and hoping for a post-release price dip! Itโs not a poster and the Image is better than most, 3D effect of rock unique in Banksy prints , supply and demand, no coa.but you have to have a receipt of purchase from the walled off hotel possibly backed up with confirmation of stay at hotel. Supply controlled by Banksy, quality control controlled by Banksy. Rumours about that this may be more limited than unlimited.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Carl Cashman on Sept 21, 2017 7:22:07 GMT 1, The wall bit in the print looks like a concrete cast by the way, it is not chiseled. easy to churn them out Thats dedfinitely the case with the wall sculpture... you can see bubble wrap marks on the plaster where they have been poured into a mold of some kind
