Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by Monkey on Jun 29, 2021 14:14:27 GMT 1, Hey,
Chiming in on that thread as I bought the previous box he sold here I'm sure the seller is of good faith but this did not went really well for me I had to open a Paypal claim, here's a copy paste of it and some pictures If you decide to proceed, make sure to use Paypal goods / services or protection FYI, the seller did not answer anything to the claim and I had my money back (minus customs charges) GLWTS
Hey all I bought an art piece to the seller on Jan 6th 2021 and it was sent to me by the seller on Jan 9th 2021 (tracking number XXXXX). It arrived to my place on Jan 18th but it was not packed correctly inside and some pieces broke. I reported this to the seller through private messages (see transcript for pictures). The seller reacted fast and kindly proposed to send the damaged pieces for free, which I agreed. Replacement pieces were sent by the seller on Feb 1st (tracking number lXXXXX) and arrived to my home on Feb 19th. Once again the pieces were not packed properly and 2 of 3 pieces were damaged / broken (see pictures in transcript). I reported this to the seller, sent multiple messages / email (see email transcript) but haven't really heard back. On March 5th, I mentionned that I may start a Paypal reclaim and on March 6th, the seller answered that he'll be happy to send replacement once again, which I agreed one more time as I really wanted to get that art piece complete at home and to let a new chance to the seller. Since that moment and despite multiple emails, haven't heard back I'll prefer closing the deal now due to the lack of reactivity of the seller I'll be happy to send all pieces back and get refunded the full amount of the purchase The transcript is extracted from the Urban Art Association forum, I also included two screenshots of the forum message box. Will be happy to share my credentials if someone want to check the messages with the seller. Let me know if you need anything else Best

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by Monkey on Jun 29, 2021 14:37:09 GMT 1, Undamaged pieces ? 0.5 I'd say.
In total, I've been sent a complete boxset (which concrete arrived broken and damaged the internal frame and print) and 3 replacement pieces in a second parcel: print (torn), internal frame (broken), concrete piece (ok). I'm still missing an undamaged print and the internal frame.At the end of the day, I have an undamaged piece of concrete and the external white frame
First concrete broke in dust and pieces (see pictures), the replacement was ok First back print has been damaged by the broken concrete pieces, the replacement is torn (see pictures) First internal frame had been scratched and damaged by the broken concrete pieces, the replacement broke again (see pictures)

How can you be sure the seller is of good faith?
Your certainty on this point feels unwarranted to me. The reference to "Replacement pieces" sounds like a red flag in and of itself.
For ease of reference, I've copy-pasted the seller's posts from the earlier thread you mentioned:
urbanartassociation.com/thread/169213/banksy-boxset
price is 1200 usd,with free shipping.
The damaged-goods aspect of this case is arguably of secondary importance.
Of greater interest to me is what gave you the confidence you were buying an authentic Banksy box set in the first place.
Even factoring in minor discrepancies that can occur between various print runs, the image quality of the work(s) in the photos above is noticeably inferior to other box sets I've come across online.
The top image below is a detail from one of @buckets101's photos (after straightening). The bottom image is a detail from another box set that was offered via an auction website*.
Spot the differences:

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by met on Jun 29, 2021 18:42:34 GMT 1, Well, that was a quick result.
I see the seller has already parted ways with the Urban Art Association โ at least under the guise of @buckets101 / Mohammed123.
Monkey โ Provided you agree this gesture of immediately deleting their account was an implied admission of guilt by a fraudster who was selling fakes to members of this forum, perhaps you would be kind enough to share with us their name and contact details, including PayPal address.
This may help to lower the risk of other members getting conned if that same individual later reappears under a different username.

Probably he ll soon reappear under a new name...let's hope he won't. Yup. I still can't figure out how many monkey was sent, or which pictures correspond to specific items. However, considering the hotel had been closed for over a year, there were already red flags around the replacements. I really wish readers and posters on this forum would stop going after anything banksy that doesn't have a PC COA. Fakes exist and people are being taken advantage of.
Well before he deleted his account I had a peep in his history. He has sold and/or put other items for sale including a sculpture of nativity scene. He seemed to be located probably in Palestine or wanted people to think so. Unfortunately I wasn't thorough enough and I didn't take any screenshots (was more interested in watching the game and by the way CONGRATS fellow forumites for England's victory!!!)

Well what's the entry point for a PC COA piece today ? 10k ? Probably more ? I really wish readers and posters on this forum have that kind of money but I don't
The seller had been registered on this forum for years, had multiple previous experiences of selling Walled Off pieces here and buyers were happy with him and recommanding him publicly in his sales thread. The piece was indeed sent from bethlehem and to be honest I was not aware of faked boxset yet. So yes, I'll admit it, that was a green light for me. At least, I've been lucky, have my money back and there's one less dishonest person on this forum

I just like the piece and this was a nice opportunity to buy one. Was supposed to go to the hotel in April 2020 but as the pandemy striked down, everything was cancelled. Kinda souvenir of a cancelled trip, one can say

First of all thank you for posting your experience because it will definitely help other forum members to be astute and not spent money on scammers. I have only one question. You say that he had made several sales here and he was a member for a long time. Perhaps I am wrong because I didn't pay much attention but when I checked his history there were very few postings (it could be the case he had begun deleting his history, hence the very few comments). Did he have also a second account here? Or was this his only one? And if he gave you any references perhaps one should give a heads up to the other members that had bought from the same person to double check the items they purchased?

Was supposed to go to the hotel in April 2020 but as the pandemy striked down, everything was cancelled. Kinda souvenir of a cancelled trip, one can say First, thank you for posting. It's bad that you were sold a fake, but at least you were refunded due to the damage.
And thanks to met for the investigative work. I imagine a lot of forum users went to inspect their box sets with an elevated heart rate after seeing the pics he posted.
As a sidenote to your comment about using goods /services as the PayPal method: I always use a credit card that includes buyer protection in addition to PayPal, since it provides a secondary recourse if PayPal is too slow or not helpful. My card offers me buyer protection for a year (at least) and I have been able to get a full refund through them on the rare occasion that PayPal refuses (for example if I used Friends and Family). I have to fill out a lot of paperwork, but it has saved me thousands of dollars in the past, so I just wanted to pass on the tip.
Lastly, if there are fake box sets, there are fake souvenir walls - maybe even good fakes. Be extra careful out there. I imagine the explosion in prices throughout 2020 has fueled some really good fakes of just about everything Banksy.

Perhaps I am wrong because I didn't pay much attention but when I checked his history there were very few postings (it could be the case he had begun deleting his history, hence the very few comments). Did he have also a second account here? Or was this his only one? And if he gave you any references perhaps one should give a heads up to the other members that had bought from the same person to double check the items they purchased?
If I remember well he had 13-15msg here and a 4-5 yo account Most messages were sales threads (3-4) and answers to people thanking him for the smooth transaction and shipping I'm afraid I've not kept track of who the buyers were
Well what's the entry point for a PC COA piece today ? 10k ? Probably more ? I really wish readers and posters on this forum have that kind of money but I don't The seller had been registered on this forum for years, had multiple previous experiences of selling Walled Off pieces here and buyers were happy with him and recommanding him publicly in his sales thread. The piece was indeed sent from bethlehem and to be honest I was not aware of faked boxset yet. So yes, I'll admit it, that was a green light for me.

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by catlady on Nov 9, 2021 20:35:24 GMT 1, Hi all, you all seem pretty knowledgable and I was hoping I could gather your thoughts.
It's my partners birthday coming up in the next couple of months and I'd love to get him something Banksy related (it's a big birthday).
He likes music, travel and art... so my initial thoughts were either a Blur Good Song 7" vinyl or the Walled Off Hotel Box Set (if I can get it in my price range).
Is there a better buy here? Would love your thoughts and if anyone has anything relevant for sale I'd be interested to know more
Thanks for any input!

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by met on Dec 19, 2021 10:15:12 GMT 1, Well, that was a quick result. I see the seller has already parted ways with the Ur ban Art Association โ at least under the guise of @buckets101 / Mohammed123. Monkey โ Provided you agree this gesture of immediately deleting their account was an implied admission of guilt by a fraudster who was selling fakes to members of this forum, perhaps you would be kind enough to share with us their name and contact details, including PayPal address. This may help to lower the risk of other members getting conned if that same individual later reappears under a different username. Agreed. Paypal / email is nidal.nidal.issa@gmail.comThe associated name was Nidal AlababHope that'll help
With a six-month delayed acknowledgement, I am heavily relying on the proverb, Better late than never.
Monkey โ Many thanks for confirming the email and name you had for @buckets101 / Mohammed123.
It often takes strength of character to do the right thing, stick your head above the parapet, and (in this instance) potentially expose yourself to unpleasant pushback from a fraudster who had just been outed.
I appreciate and respect your efforts in giving other members here a specific heads-up. It was also a useful general reminder to everyone that scammers operate on all platforms, including this forum.
Although nidal.nidal.issa@gmail.com is likely to be a burner account, and Nidal Alabab could very easily be a pseudonym, those details may well have been used on previous occasions when communicating or registering with other people or businesses.
If anyone is on friendly terms with the team at the Walled Off Hotel, please forward them the above email address and name. Either or both could match up with an individual the hotel has previously dealt with (e.g. a gift shop customer) โ which might possibly help staff put two and two together, and actually identify a Banksy box set counterfeiter.
