Madness indeed!
£34.99 for a golf sale anyone?

Banksy’s at Pictures On Walls....... Back in the day! *, by taco on Mar 9, 2007 0:55:36 GMT 1, I remember thinking "Pfthh, an extra £100 coz it's signed, even £45 for an unsigned is taking the piss..." I'll just print them out on my computer and that'll be practically the same thing.....
to be honest I still think £145 is bloody pricey when you actually think about it...?

I think D*Face's work is definitely the best of that lot (just took my yellow hate to the framers) BUT Banksy is like an anomaly of the street art world. Compared to him there will probably never be a next "big thing"

Banksy’s at Pictures On Walls....... Back in the day! *, by taco on Mar 9, 2007 9:44:26 GMT 1, Well let's be honest the printing overheads aren't why these prints are the price they are. I've bought many multicolour screenprints for £20 odd, and if POW could do the for the prices shown on that old pow screen shot back in the day, the only increase in £££ is Banksy's wallet! But hey Supply and Demand i suppose...
Obviously if i could buy a signed banksy for £150, there would be no hesitation, maybe no food on the table that night, but definatly no hesitation...
I'm just gutted cos I remember almost buying a "laugh now" then but aborting at the credit card details...

I remember going on POW site around the time of the Blur album (thats when I first heard of Banksy)...and thinking £45 for a poster....Pffft!
I saved all the images to my computer at the time...and I'll check when I get home but I may have more to add to the ones above

Banksy’s at Pictures On Walls....... Back in the day! *, by alvington89 on Mar 9, 2007 20:21:08 GMT 1, Depressing. :-(
Was never aware of POW 'back in the day', but I was an occasional visitor to Art Republic in Brighton around that time and can recall some of these pieces when they were 'affordable'. Was mildly interested and did consider buying a couple of prints but was too easily disuaded by my wife and thought the Art Republic approach a liitle 'hard sell'. So had the opportunity, but just didn't quite 'get it' at the time. IDIOT!! Of course, like some of the forum members on here I'm weeping in my beer now.
Anyone got a working Tardis I can borrow for a couple of hours?

Banksy’s at Pictures On Walls....... Back in the day! *, by andrewd on Mar 9, 2007 22:17:56 GMT 1, Well I was there back in the day and bought a Copper and a bombhugger, I wanted signed but thought at the time ( should have asked!) that there was no signed and that Banksy signed his prints by the stencil in the bottom right hand corner. I remember picking up a Heavy Weaponry at SG ('04) and having a real good look at it thinking that it was cool but given the fact that it was spray paint on canvas that it wasn't worth £300ish squid. ( I didn't give enough thought to the originality of the image but concentrated on the painterly effort involved... probably not realising what goes into the making of a stencil!)
Now that is bad enough but the same week i went along to Tom Tom and enjoyed the Banksy modified Oil paints exhibition but was put off the price tags of £1,000 a piece!!!
I own 10 prints and a painting by Banksy ( more than any other artist and I have been collecting bits and pieces for 20+ years ) I am very happy with what I have but there's sometimes the thought, well I wish I'd done this or that!!!

Banksy’s at Pictures On Walls....... Back in the day! *, by bond on Mar 13, 2007 15:13:29 GMT 1, this has got to be the most upsetting piece of info i've ever read !!
Thing is my brother has lived in Bristol for yrs and told be back in 2003 about Banksy . I had a cursory glance and thought , yeah it's all nice but that was it !!
I have now paid the price of my ignorance by paying over the odds on ebay over the last little while . At least however i do now have a flying copper , napalm , grannies , applause and flag.
Just a shame i just spent all my money on beer back then and thought they were just nice but expensive posters !!

Banksy’s at Pictures On Walls.......
