UK buyer looking for some Banksy bits.. , by J6507G on Oct 18, 2020 15:54:18 GMT 1, Firstly hi all.... Managed to stumble accross this site. And hoping to find something for my son.... Bit of a backstory, my son after watching the documentary exit through the gift shop has now found a real interest and taken it upon himself to read and research anything Banksy related. So looking to buy him a piece for his upcoming birthday... Not sure what or if my budget would allow or I'm being unrealistic.. Any pointers or anyone thinking to sell please fire me a DM, budget wise I could go upto 1 to 2k. Thanks. J

Might be worth looking at getabanksy.com, the prices are well above market on there but as a catalogue of Banksy collectibles itโs alright. Could be useful to get an idea of what youโd like to aim for, then look for it at a better price.
There was chat on here a while ago about the collectors edition Exit Through the Gift shop DVDs being available from source still, but I recon theyโre long gone by now?

Forgive Us Our Tresspasses is a great piece and is bizarrely reasonably priced. Iโve got a few Dismaland rat tshirts Iโve framed up and they look pretty cool and would give him an opportunity to get a Banksy rat on his wall for cheap. They are roughly ยฃ50 a shirt and available on eBay. I think youโd still be able to get a box set in that price range and that is one of the coolest intro Banksy item to own in my opinion โ itโs the only open edition print heโs done from what I recall and is still affordable. Finally, heโs done some work for Blur, so you can get some of their advertising posters for good prices still that feature his work.

My suggestions would be:

You maybe just about able to get all 3 from kind forum members for ยฃ2k...

Its his 21st birthday January so should give me a little bit of time to do some research.. I'm hoping I can get something he can display, and that IF he needs to sell in a few years will atleast get a chunk of the money back.

I wouldn't want to get him a fake, I think this present would mean more than giving him the cash. . Some great info on the replies so thanks for that..

UK buyer looking for some Banksy bits.. , by Terry Fuckwitt on Oct 18, 2020 17:15:24 GMT 1, If I could have one Banksy under ยฃ2k it would have to be soup cans poster or a boxset. Boxsets could drop in price though when the hotel opens up, if they continue to sell them. Wall pieces are really nice, but they are small and will also drop if the hotel carry on with these. If he's got plenty of Wall space, all 4 of the Bristol museum posters look nice and still relatively good value.

Otherwise I reckon you can't go wrong with a Box Set.

UK buyer looking for some Banksy bits.. , by Sir Ruddington on Oct 18, 2020 17:31:29 GMT 1, Wall piece or Peckham or both. I feel they are most representative of Banksy's work and philosophy in the price range you mention. Never been a fan of the box set but wouldn't kick one out of bed for eating crackers either.
Figure out the theme of Banksy work that your son enjoys the most and try to find something in the price range with that theme. I like the wall pieces because they illustrate clearly the graffiti aspect of street art and you can find one with the theme he likes. God I wish I pulled the trigger on a wall piece when I could afford one, afraid that ship has sailed.
PS, while you're at it, buy him a UAA hoodie as a stocking stuffer. Cheap, utilitarian, good cause...

some are considered tat by some and you can read both sides of the arguments discussing mainly the value , artistic merit / value etc and the threads gives you a good insight of what to look out for to avoid buying a fake item
good buy at the moment gdp rats ,tesco soupcan,tesco firebomb, boxset are within your budget the banksy years record also looks good framed and is a screen print

UK buyer looking for some Banksy bits.. , by Deleted on Oct 18, 2020 18:10:24 GMT 1, My vote would go to Forgive Us Our Trespassing. You could buy one and get it properly framed for under ยฃ1k. It's also not yet at the point where there are loads of fakes around, unlike the Soup Cans or Palestine posters. My feeling on Peckham Rock is it's nice but it's always going to look like a postcard stuck on the wall. As a gift, a framed FUOT has the look of a proper piece.

Personally for 1k the best buy I could recommend (but wont be easy to find, even though it sells a bit less than 1k), is an XL Keep Left original sticker. Thrower is the most iconic piece and this is probably the most desirable and still affordable piece for any serious Banksy collector considering what you could buy today in your price range.

Although the suggestion to take him to Walled off Hotel sounds like the best suggestion to me. Unforgettable experience over a material object.
