Banksy • Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by irl1 on Feb 27, 2018 18:38:04 GMT 1, It seems a lot of the ones on the bay are going with just a receipt (surely both easily faked). With all the talk of a few iffy sets being on sale, I hope anyone who got one seen a bit more evidence from the seller? There are plenty on there that I would personally stay well away from. Yes always ask to see their hotel invoice in their name, and the border control pass with their photograph on it. This way i would say your fairly safe, but then who knows. I was at the hotel 9 days ago and it was empty. The staff said its very slow at the moment. There was a good lot of the rooms empty when i was there. How come the hotel is slowing down, yet the bay is flying with cheap box sets.

If your flyer is a real one then its worth more than your box set according to todays prices, so you got a real bargain there! All jokes aside, go back and ask if they have a copy of their hotel invoice or border control card as you want to keep it for extra provenance just to see what they say

Plus multiple visits... and locals seemingly able to buy and sell multiples. And I don't think you even need to be a resident at the hotel to buy a box set do you?
If that all stops, then the supply to eBay will be less.

Yes partners can buy but locals can't buy unless they book a room. You could book a bunk if you lived there for 60 dollars then buy one. I'd say it was done many times when they were selling for 5,000, who would blame them? You do need to be a resident and don't listen to anyone that says different. I have seen many bus tours to the hotel but no way do they allow them to buy a box set, wall section or key fob.

I seen one person who never stayed there buy more than one wall section (not a tourist but a local I think), came in on more than one occasion on the same day. The worst thing was the 3 of us that stayed couldn't get one as they never had any, then an hour or so later someone off the street came in and miraculously walked out with a large one. I wasn't happy at all as I wanted one for myself.

Banksy • Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by Dojo the Dog on Feb 28, 2018 7:13:05 GMT 1, Hope that’s true about the passport now. It wasn’t the case when I went.
There were definitely people staying who were paying the managers off to buy multiples when I went. Can’t blame the staff but lots of people missed out because of it.
It looks like some people have a constant supply to sell on eBay. Some off the sellers are listing dozens of wall sets etc...
Be nice to see an end to that as I think the more readily available they are the less footfall the hotel will see in the long run.

Banksy • Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by woodman on Mar 1, 2018 14:55:11 GMT 1, To the person who bought one for £256, that same seller now has another 5 for sale now. The bit that seems strange is how he says he has got them all from his 'multiple' visits to the hotel, yet selling them all now when the market has been dropping for months. Why would anyone keep 6+ sets knowing they were always going to come down in price due to the unlimited supply?

Just seems odd to have that many at the same time (he may have sold others I don't know but only has a feedback from the one sold to poster on here).

If I was buying one I wouldn't be going near it without some other provenance to back it up.

Hopefully this link works:

Banksy • Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by snbr2011 on Mar 2, 2018 18:22:15 GMT 1, Well we have seen this before with prints being sold for $60 back in 07 and fools that sold thinking the market wasn't going to go up are probably sobbing now. Quick profit whores are out there on ebay flooding the market and of course some people also want to sell their stuff to offset their trip costs which is fine. Lets talk in 5 years and lets say if a new boxset appears (which is all rumors) the current will become discontinued automatically increasing its demand. But short sight people are looking to turn profit on something that has just been released, Its collectors market now. Everything being sold is falling into collectors laps and those will be nicely tucked away and it will surface again in 5-10 years. Love the boxset and the wall souvenirs. I have a few boxsets and a few wall pieces I enjoy them very much but if I could say one thing is BUY NOW CHEAP WHILE YOU CAN!!!

Your right there mate, sick telling people that this hotel won't be there forever. Also the amount of snide box sets on ebay is taking down the price. I have a good few myself put away, IKEA and the local frame, with many Wall Sections. Yes "before" all the Walled Off Hotel haters jump in, i am selling/flipping some items on ebay to off set 5 trips to the hotel. For some of us mere mortals with families, we can't c**p money!

What Banksy prints were being sold for $60 back in ‘07? None that I can think of....also, comparing Banksy prints (with COAs, limited editions) to open edition Banksy box sets with no COAs is not really a fair comparison now is it?

A good friend of mine was offered a gangster rat print back in the day for $60 and regrets deeply. My point is that the wont be open forever, and anything sold there will become collectible, now I am not implying it will sell as well as the print editions in the past but I would not say it will not worth crap either. I have mine and wont sell as I love them that's just my 0.002

way too many un's for me

None that I can think of....also, comparing Banksy prints (with COAs, limited editions) to open edition Banksy box sets with no COAs is not really a fair comparison now is it? You have a point there. Hes talking long-term and only time will tell. I have seen so many guys on this site say, could have purchased this at this price now look at the price. First things first, a lot of us like them and love the hotel and Palestine in general, so its a holiday and a cheap piece of art at the same time. Not as if we have to shell out 5,000 (though some did on ebay) for one. Its a cheap way to own a Banksy (though some will say its not a Banksy) and if you like it that's all the better. If the hotel closes down or stops selling these then the market for the authentic ones will sort itself out. Don't forget all these have an original piece of the separation wall (none the same) and are hand sprayed. So even though they are unlimited, NO TWO ARE THE SAME, so you could say they are editions of ONE.
Well we have seen this before with prints being sold for $60 back in 07 and fools that sold thinking the market wasn't going to go up are probably sobbing now. Quick profit whores are out there on ebay flooding the market and of course some people also want to sell their stuff to offset their trip costs which is fine. Lets talk in 5 years and lets say if a new boxset appears (which is all rumors) the current will become discontinued automatically increasing its demand. But short sight people are looking to turn profit on something that has just been released, Its collectors market now. Everything being sold is falling into collectors laps and those will be nicely tucked away and it will surface again in 5-10 years. Love the boxset and the wall souvenirs. I have a few boxsets and a few wall pieces I enjoy them very much but if I could say one thing is BUY NOW CHEAP WHILE YOU CAN!!! What Banksy prints were being sold for $60 back in ‘07? None that I can think of....also, comparing Banksy prints (with COAs, limited editions) to open edition Banksy box sets with no COAs is not really a fair comparison now is it? You have a point there. Hes talking long-term and only time will tell. I have seen so many guys on this site say, could have purchased this at this price now look at the price. First things first, a lot of us like them and love the hotel and Palestine in general, so its a holiday and a cheap piece of art at the same time. Not as if we have to shell out 5,000 (though some did on ebay) for one. Its a cheap way to own a Banksy (though some will say its not a Banksy) and if you like it that's all the better. If the hotel closes down or stops selling these then the market for the authentic ones will sort itself out. Don't forget all these have an original piece of the separation wall (none the same) and are hand sprayed. So even though they are unlimited, NO TWO ARE THE SAME, so you could say they are editions of ONE.
