Banksy Welcome Mat, by astarti on Jul 21, 2021 17:17:34 GMT 1, Oh dear... I fear I might be getting a close number to that! I'm also expecting to pay somewhere near that amount for the import duty and taxes 🙈
And handling... I mean it's fedex 😱

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Coach on Jul 22, 2021 10:20:50 GMT 1, There was a Flight Logistics van on my road as I rode back from the school run this morning 'Awesome times', I thought to myself This is mine from last week's drop. Numbered 30xx. Already thinking this is the strongest piece of art in my collection now; albeit maybe not visually. The story and thought behind the piece makes others pale by comparison. Loving the contrast of how bright the life jacket fabric is in real live against the drab brown mat. Happy days. 😊 
Delighted for you mate. Lovely to see a collector’s delight at a poignant piece of art.

There are 4 mats for sale in EU and this one is almost as cheap (or expensive) as the cheapest one on eBay. Make me an offer if you are interested, otherwise get the fuck out of here.

I’m UK based and I can see many more much cheaper than your price.. The last 5 sales have also been less than £1000.

That's still 7,000 less than Damien Hirst's "The Currency", and for 1/3 of the price!

Am i actually missing something. Maybe he bought it because he liked it as art, maybe an investment hope. That's what most seem to do. So many on here selling.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Arty Farty 15 on Jul 22, 2021 22:26:31 GMT 1, Mine arrived today… a flight logistics van by surprise. I gave stick to those that are throwing these in frames, however after seeing it in person it’s an impressive piece made better by the story (but I stand by the fact that framing these are tacky as hell, sometimes money can’t buy class)

Are you suggesting they paint the mud effect? They have like fake pain on it, to make those look used when they are not I think you're actually right here. I just checked mine and there is "mud" over the stitching, which suggests it was added after it was sewn onto the mat. |

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Charlie Bronson on Jul 23, 2021 16:30:31 GMT 1, Are you guys saying the more recent ones have paint on them to achieve the effect?
FWIW early batch on left, most recent on right. A huge difference in terms of how bright the vest portion is on the first in comparison to the most recent, which has a ton more dirt, sand etc, which causes the difference. I kind of like the most recent one more; a weathered and shitty looking welcome mat seems much more Banksy’esque to me. I’m giving one of these to a family member as a bday gift. Trying to decide which one to keep.

I doubt they can be bothered with "adding dirt" to a used life vest that washed up on shore, all jackets different and recycled.
