Pest Control COA, Banksy Authentication, by loucastel on Feb 19, 2012 19:14:32 GMT 1, That's something I could never understand, just because a work isn't in the catalog raisonne doesn't mean it doesn't exist, whereas a lot of these foundations use these catalogue's as their bible. As regards Pest Control, just another moneyspinner!! I don't know about money spinner. its only Β£60 per piece, and i would goes there is a fair bit of work involved, and a bit of a headache for those involved Possibly pays for 1 member of staff. Its a good thing though I really must get my s**t together and go through the process.
Only Β£60!!! it should be free, what work are we talking about here, for someone to take a look at it and say yes or no, any records will be on computer,

You maybe right, not sure its as simple as you say, but I would charge for it though, wouldn't you?

Actually you are quite right thinking about it, I'm surprised they don't charge more, Me charge, I would like to think that if I made their money I wouldn't have to.

Its Banksy tax, its wrong, its not street at all, and he gets artists resale, he is like a mini government getting all these little stealth benefits
I'll shut up now as i am rambling

Well, it's only for old pieces, if you buy a new one it comes with it. From the looks of it they are actually pretty cool.

Pest Control COA, Banksy Authentication, by speebe on Feb 20, 2012 0:52:49 GMT 1, Let's not forget that authentication was free for a long time, although you didn't receive a COA, you just got email confirmation.
Your paying the money for the certificate, and as the quality of fakes improved I think the process had to become ever more sophisticated or accountable.
I only have one print with a COA and one authenticated a without COA... the others, I know I'm the original owner with no immediate plans to sell so should I worry.
NOPE.

I didn't know that. My mistake. Haven't got one in a while.
I feel if you buy one now for 600+ it should come with it. If you bought one many years ago for 75 you can spring 50 to get it certified. Maybe they don't send them with it to slow down the flipping.

Pest Control COA, Banksy Authentication, by sanchorockin78 on Mar 19, 2012 15:36:22 GMT 1, Hey all,
I have recently sent off for a Pest Control COA and am now thinking of doing the same for a few more I own. I have however been told ( not by PC ), that i may well end up waiting around 3 months plus for them to get back to me!!?.
Is the POW authentication process the same thing and just sent off to PC or are they 2 different bodies?
Thanks all,
Sanch

Pest Control COA, Banksy Authentication, by silvermyn on Mar 19, 2012 16:45:11 GMT 1, It will also depend on how tricky the authentication is.
For example, if you didn't buy your print from the registered owner then authentication will be more difficult. You may need to take the piece to POW's offices and leave it there for a while unitl the artist can have a look at it. The time it then takes to authenticate will depend on how busy Mr B is :/
But if your the original owner and the print was registered in your name then it should be fairly quick as it's just a case of matching records up.

I am the original owner on most of my Banksy's save a few unsigned. This is the first time I am getting COA's as I am trying to fund a Nola. Hopefully they will turn the first one around pretty quick.

Pest Control COA, Banksy Authentication, by confused2 on Mar 19, 2012 17:08:40 GMT 1, Ive just had a few done. On average they took around 3 weeks to complete, but I did have to send one into POW to have it looked at.
They've always been done in a pretty reasonable amount of time in my experience, but as a previous member has stated, mine all had relatively uncomplicated backgrounds, and I had all the relevant provenance to backup the applications for COAs.

(Second owner/not registered in my name/problems regarding numbering of print/PCO mislaying my COA...etc!!)
Whole process from my first email after sending the print down to them, to their last email saying it was ready for collection took 6 weeks.
I emailed PCO at least once a week, asking if there had been any progress this week, how you getting on with my print etc.
All in all, 1st class service, and all for the price of a stamp or 2

Pest Control COA, Banksy Authentication, by teatwosugars on Mar 19, 2012 23:35:37 GMT 1, Hey Sancho,
I sent one off about 4 weeks ago. Got the reply within a week to say it had been authenticated (it was bought from the original owner).
However, about a week later I got an email to say that they were waiting on delivery of more COA's and it would be another couple of weeks before they send it out. It's not arrived yet, but I'm sure it'll be any time soon.
Even with the slight delay they seem to be getting them done quite quickly at the moment.

Just pinged an email out to them and will probably follow lebdel's move & email them every week. Do they charge you Β£50 once its been authenticated and send the 'DiFace style ' authentification ?.
I quite like the idea of all my Banksy prints having this authentication ( although it'll be costly at Β£50 a pop!), better than some of the certificates you get - and much better than a rubbish invoice as authentication ( Other Criteria ) !.

Pest Control COA, Banksy Authentication, by My Name is Frank on Mar 22, 2012 0:20:03 GMT 1, Seems a mish mash really. I had them contact me to confirm I'd sold. I said no its on the wall. I then said, probably best I cert it, they said no charge on this one (nice one). It's now been 5 months and a month ago they said it would be sent on the next run, they have been in contact intermittently though. It dawned on me they might not have address etc. Sent that this week, hope to get cert soon. Not moaning, just showing a case where they approached me and it's taken 5 months and counting to get a cert, so patience is key.
On the plus side, at least whoever was trying to get the fake certified was caught out, so massive respect to them for everything they've done, would be nice to get the cert though but could just as easily be my fault on the delay.

"Certificates of Authentication are dispatched within two weeks of receiving payment. We are having a slight delay on the delivery of COAs at the moment but this should be sorted for next week."
Hopefully it'll be in the post soon
