Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by revert on May 28, 2024 15:17:19 GMT 1, The printer never applied for coas before, it's a brand new policy blanketing PPs. That's absolutely fine but the policy can only be enforced from the point of creation, it can't be backdated and used as an excuse, 20 years later. 2006 Barely Legal PP prints get coas, 2009 No Ball Games PPs get coas etc etc. More recent prints get coas but GWB, Barcode etc don't? You understand that the coa is what is deemed to make a Banksy print valuable? Are the prints in question annotated and editioned as PP's? Yes annotated PP and signed

Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by loui on May 28, 2024 19:13:34 GMT 1, What are you saying? Is this a matter of PestControl not applying coaโs to people for what reason? People they have fallen out with? I find it very hard to believe that someone like Mark Howard Stephens would engage in questionable business practices. I really wonder what is going on here. I doubt very much this issue would reach Mark Howard Stephens. PP's aren't produced for sale but for testing and archive. If PP's have received COA's in the past this would have been at the discretion of the artist. I guess they then initiated a blanket "no" for PP's. Legally sound I'm sure. This issue may not reach Mark Stephens but his name is on the list of people working for pestcontroloffice. I can't believe he still would want to attach his name to an organisation that more and more people find dubious ๐คจ

Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by mono on May 30, 2024 10:15:31 GMT 1, Still no response from Pest Control. I've sent a couple more polite emails to them since my post above. Does anyone have any suggestions? Presumably they have a legal obligation here since I paid them 2x ยฃ24 and they've not delivered the service I've paid for. Really shitty. It properly puts me off buying any more Banksy work. Unless they come good on this. Nearly 4 years now. I'm close to giving up ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) PS: I've already tried sending from another address (gmail) just incase for some reason my messages have been going to spam. But still no response. There's no real need to do this, if the try before you buy service functioned then maybe. I wouldn't waste your energy, I'd just send a letter before action if you've already paid, asking them to confirm the change of ownership or give you a refund. Thanks for the tip ๐
They finally replied and confirmed change of ownership on both pieces.
Interestingly they said they'd already confirmed in 2021 but I rechecked and didn't see any such message, so perhaps they've been having email issues.
Very professional and apologetic response, so I'm happy with the outcome.

Very professional and apologetic response, so I'm happy with the outcome. Yes that is good to hear. It could be coincidence but could also suggest PCs attention was drawn to the thread/post and with the info given they were able to react and help more quickly. Went from someone potentially not being interested in future involvement to someone happy and content. UAA could be useful to PC. The sheer volume of emails they have to sieve through won't be easy from posters and Di tenners to commercial coa works and everything in between. Perhaps for anyone in a similar position to mono it could be worth posting basic details ie applied for signed CND coa Feb 20th 2020 with a follow up emails on x and y. Then sending a highlight email on the day of the post. That could help PC pinpoint and help with more urgent situations. Easy for them to keep a wandering eye on one thread. There have been specific cases in recent times that I've highlighted to PC and after several years and many emails, the person received an email directly within a day or 2. Could be coincidence as well of course. Certainly good for everyone to hear more positive stories.
