Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by dueuomo on Mar 17, 2014 18:40:13 GMT 1, Is this US dollars or pounds? Don't have one just trying to follow values.
I think pounds if he really wants to buy one (unfortunately these GWRB are super expensive!)

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by quexzea on Mar 24, 2014 3:21:02 GMT 1, it's unsigned. The POW seal reads "pictures on walls dot com" it's the round seal and there are two * marks included with those words. It's an edition of 600. He has no paperwork.
the seal is the same one featured and pictured in this article. I found the article a bit confusing, so if someone could shed some light on this I'd be grateful.

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by dueuomo on Mar 24, 2014 11:00:46 GMT 1, I think we are talking about the same guy William B****. He offered me to use an escrow account service so that I could have14 days to inspect the print before finalizing the payment. But 14 days are not enough to go through POW so I rejected the offer.
Do not buy! It is a scam!

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Imoy-San on Apr 30, 2014 8:26:59 GMT 1, Does this make the print any less collectable? I don't think they were all numbered - I've seen several stamped, but unsigned and unnumbered early prints.

I don't think they were all numbered - I've seen several stamped, but unsigned and unnumbered early prints. Assuming there's no Pest Control COA, of course it makes it 'less collectable'. I too have seen scores of stolen, sorry, I mean stamped but unsigned and unnumbered early POW prints. I've also seen many outright fake stamped, but unsigned and unnumbered early prints in the years since. Anyone buying a Banksy print without a COA for more than a couple of quid is stone cold mental, and that includes those people who originally bought them from certain POW ex-employees.
full disclosure - I have a backdoor Flying Copper. No stamp/number/signature, but love the image, didn't pay too much, and it looks amazing hanging up.... never seen another come up for sale, so I have to assume it's an "authentic" backdoor

Do you really think WCP stamps not banksy on 'all' of their prints ?

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by mouser on Apr 30, 2014 22:29:52 GMT 1, I was seriously stung with a fake signed toxic mary a few years back. A very detailed print but always been a significantly less popular print than GWRB, which is also a very simple image. Sadly it only came to light it was fake when PC started up and I was getting a few sorted out. Signed, stamped, proof of purchase from art republic etc.... looked about as good as it could back then.
Probably one of the easiest to copy, and one of the most desirable... I'd want something cast iron when it came to a GWRB.

no idea, but as far as I know, they've never done a run of Flying Coppers. I bought mine from a reputable person on this forum so I'm not worried - I'm just speaking in general terms and sincerely curious - are there really that many fake prints around? I know we've all seen fake "street" pieces on ebay, but I don't think I've ever seen a screen print that was fake. |

It's not at all "pretty darn hard to make a screen print", it's a piece of piss. You just have to supply the image to a screen printers you'll find in any town or city, they'll do the separations and print it up for you, just as pretty much all of the 'galleries' people on this forum buy 'original' prints from. 2. "Assuming" your print is "authentic" because you've "never seen another one come up for sale" is a very curious and extremely misguided form or sense of provenance and doesn't bode well for your sales threads.
not sure how me buying a backdoor print from a trusted board member would have anything to do with the rare sales thread I post. of course i wouldn't sell anything without provenance/COA's. and if I did ever decide to sell my backdoor print, I would make sure the buyer knew what they were buying

I'd hope no reputable printer would risk their reputation by printing fakes but you never know. and it would be hard for anybody with a home setup to hand pull with the same quality that a pro setup would have. not sure how me buying a backdoor print from a trusted board member would have anything to do with the rare sales thread I post. of course i wouldn't sell anything without provenance/COA's. and if I did ever decide to sell my backdoor print, I would make sure the buyer knew what they were buying |

I don't think so. That is an original work and it wouldn't be sold on ebay.
I know who has the original of that painting.
You sure you didn't see something else on ebay?

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by cpb on May 1, 2014 5:09:43 GMT 1, Good Evening,
I don't post here often, but read a bit here and there and have been a collector of urban art and especially Banksys for many many years.
I want to alert the community about William Bauer whom last week submitted pictures of MY Girl With Balloon to Pest Control for authentication. I bought a GWB last year and submitted the pictures from the seller to Pest Control in addition to the photos I took. PC notified me that William submitted the same exact pictures from the previous owner.
This person was also on eBay selling a GWB under the name willbauer1. Furthermore, I know now two people he attempted to sell this to and asked them to pay using an escrow service. Both people are members here.
After this happened and after reading the GWB thread in the "Wanted" section I became concerned it would be target time for Mr. Bauer. If you have any additional information, such as a real name, name of victims and location of the scammer please let me know as I will submit a complaint to local authorities.
Please be careful in sending photos of numbers/signatures guys!
