He wants $4k for each of these, luckily anyone can jump on a flight and go pick one (or more) of these up. Hoping he gets stuck with all 4 of them

True as long as they time it correctly as there isn’t any box sets available at the hotel currently.

You are right his asking price is ridiculous. It appears though he is willing to sell for 2k which appears to be the 'market' right now.
As for him being a flipper I might have to disagree. From what it appears (note: it could be entirely different in reality) but he appears to be a local individual buying it cheap and selling high and likely making a lot more then he does on a normal day.
So if banksy swoops in to help the idivodual people in the area he's a savior and doing great work. But if an individual tries to help himself then he's greedy and a flipper. All so a 'collector' can get a poster for a more 'decent' price.
Some of banksys greatest work is the exploitation of his greedy and arrogant fans. Whether this should be attributed to him and on purpose is a good question.

Look in the mirror- how much does a Donuts go nowadays? How is that not the same thing?

Not any different from 95% of the FS threads here.

Banksy • Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by Laugh Now 10 on Oct 2, 2017 14:28:47 GMT 1, No response or PM from the OP re making a deal. If the conversion rate brings these closer to $180 USD original sale price then my apologies as I was told differently. Either way, I will continue my search to find one for $1.5K USD or less as the market will continue to drop (?) and eventually stabilize. Having said that, the OP has obviously found a way to get around the “limited to one per person” issue so, if he can continue to access multiple boxes, making a $1.3K+ profit for a day’s work is not bad at all IMHO for this set. In fact, if the OP could sell one of these a day for one year (not possible, I know) that’s a profit of $474,500 for the year. If anyone has a lead on one of these please LMK. Have a great day, everyone, and obviously there are a lot more issues in the world than procuring this set. Peace.

Banksy • Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by Cookiemonster on Oct 2, 2017 17:44:51 GMT 1, why are any of you guys thinking of entertaining this dude? Banksy/POW/PC would never approve of it and if they did, then why arent others doing it? He is taking the piss, he isn't reinvesting that money in to social or community projects, and it goes completely against the spirit of the project. You would be more prudent to give your hard earnt money to someone off ebay, at least you have recourse/safety, or better still get yourselves out there, get one for $180 and enjoy the falafel - dont let this guy scaremonger you in to saying they are sold out, when they are not!!!

Do we know if the hotel are still posting them to guests who have stayed and they do not have stock at the time?

If these were sold out - or out of stock then it would say so on hotels gift shop website.

They may have left without a postage stamp sized picture in an Ikea frame but they wont have left empty handed unless they were empty headed. This is a trip to go on if you can regardless of tourist tatt that may or may not be available.

Spend one hour in the hotels museum and it will be worth more than anything out of the shop.
Plus the tours, nativity square and meeting the local people is priceless.
