Backdoor Banksy Prints, by snakes on Apr 28, 2008 19:15:43 GMT 1, Was it a gift? Can you prove this,does it have provenance? If so you have a legitimate out of edition print which is worthless,rather than a stolen print that is worthless.
In today's day and age nothing is worthless. Something and anything is worth as much as anyone is willing to pay for it

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by dodge on Apr 28, 2008 19:23:19 GMT 1, I really don't understand,that mentality. You want to pay hundreds of pounds for something that is no better than a fake?? Seriously mate you need your head looking at. Also you can pick up REAL Banksy prints for under ยฃ1000 unsigned and a signed one from ยฃ2-3000. Where's the harm?The harm is there's alot of people on this forum trying to legitimise these prints for financial gain. The prints are dodgy,un-authorised,never meant to be in circulation,worthless posters. Don't be conned into buying these. If you like the image,get yourself a nice print made up,theres also some nice images on Banksy's website he'd like people to download and print in the shop section. The image I want argument is bollocks I'm afraid.
Of course it's not bollocks. One of the most popular 'backdoors' is LIITA. Even an unsigned original costs 2k+ these days. Where would I find one for ยฃ200-ยฃ300 (the price of a backdoor one)? This image isn't available on Banksy's website. Get a nice print knocked up? How? I don't see any high res versions of it kicking around, plus how much of a fanny on would it be to get it printed properly, not on a laserjet?
Sorry but if I can get 'dodgy' prints on the same paper with the same look as a numbered one for a fraction of the price then I am fine with that. I can't see why you are getting so upset or why I should have to justify myself.
Oh, and well done for getting Banksy's for cost back in the day. Unfortunately I had never heard of Banksy until 2007 ( I guess that probably makes me need my 'head looking at').

Unfortunately there is always one more idiot in the queue snakes. 
I remember when these forums started,people used to look out for each other.
Giving advise and flagging up fakes and scams like the backdoor prints.
Greed took over a while back and the touts and scammers now rule the roost.
There are still some good people left on here,but they seem to be a dying breed.

Dodge,if you can afford to throw away ยฃ2-300 on one of these
Yes you do.
You probably believe people who ring you up and say you've won a holiday too.
Snakes,how old are you?
Someone please come up with a convincing argument of why you think thes should be in the market place.
Copyright,wheres your studio?I need to come and borrow a few prints off you to sell on e-bay to make some money.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by funkrye on Apr 28, 2008 20:10:34 GMT 1, This comes up every couple of months.
Back door prints are stolen property. Simple.
May as well buy a knock off canvas off ebay.

the point is that they look like the real item, infact they are EXACTLY the same as opposed to the markings and stamps and value... the image is the same.. its not like buying a fake watch where the quality is shit and it looks a bit dodgey, backdoor prints are identical.. i have a few backdoor prints coming my way and i cant wait, many thanks to the forum member in question.

my decent argument is it allows art lovers who are only interested in the image to obtain a print they like at a fraction of the cost??
now be so kind to tell me what is wrong in that..

I think there have been many decent points put forward, the problem is you don't wish to listen to anyone with an opinion that differs from your own.

Your encouraging people to buy stolen property.
An art lover would not buy one of these,,they would save up for a real one or trade up.

I do want to hear other peoples opinions as this is what forums are for.
Is anyone going to commit themselves fully in defence of these prints.
At the moment its very half hearted,which leads me to believe no one truely believes they are right.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by RBK on Apr 29, 2008 7:55:18 GMT 1, The harm is there's alot of people on this forum trying to legitimise these prints for financial gain.
AMEN!!!
These aren't suppose to be in circulation - end of story. These are not / cannot be considered part of of any limited edition run.
For those that say I like the image and can't pay X, you can easily find a decent enough image on the web. Trying to justify these is pathetic.
If you owned a business that makes a finite set of widgets, and one of your employees who works for you and you pay for their service makes a couple of extra ones on the side, walks out with them at the end of the day stuff in his pants, and sells them by falsely advertising they are the same, you'd can tell me you'd be fine with that??? There are a bunch of hypocrites on here...

it is theft at the end of the day, just like spraying on public property is vandalism.
