Enjoy

swear i saw one on ebay a while back

Were only one hundred made Medicott? im sure i read somewhere that the first 100 were hand sprayed or something like that? but then i dont believe everything i read!, interesting anyhow and good luck with the sale.

why is it not relevant? good for a collector anyway

since he aint got a copy him self you dont you give him it...

Joevalentino - Don't want to get all negative on here thanks, but to qualify - Expreso Beans doesn't include the other ones which have surfaced over the past couple of years and therefore cannot be relevent, and I'll dig the mail out of facebook if I can.

Fingerz - Don't worry, I've promised him plenty of beers when it's sold!

Cheers

Jo, I appreciate your comments but as you can imagine, since finding out I owned this I have looked into this quite a bit so I am very sure of the approx worth of the item. However, one thing to hold my hands up to, I said £2,600 and I've just found Tim's email and it states £2,400 - so apologies for that. My bad. If your knowledge is based on anything other than Expresso Beans then great but believe me, I have been particularly interested in it's value as does Tim!

I've just found the FB email from Tim and copied and pasted it below:

Your info is out of date mister! £1500 was two year's ago.. I'm reliably informed the last one went recently for £2,400. Happy ebaying (I'll give you a tenner for it )


This isn't about starting a slanging match based on what you've seen on Expresso Beans - if you're not in agreeance fair play but leave the post alone for those who do know about it. At the end of the day I wanted to offer this to true collectors as opposed to just plonk it on ebay.

Cheers

Very nice and rare bit of Banksy history. I also remember one selling a while back for circa £400. The buyer was at the time a member on here and got it framed up. What it's worth today is down to the seller and a buyer to decide

Thanks Craigf for such a constructive message.
One did indeed sell two years ago for around £400 and at the end of the day I am only going on what I know from reliable sources.
We'll see!

Do you think there is a chance that Tim may have got the facts wrong Medicott re. the market value?.

edit: Wasnt one of these talked about on here ages ago?.

Wizbong, I'll certainly check it out mate! Apparently he's contacted all the time by collectors who want one!
Buffin, good find mate! Whether it's worth 10p or £2k it's still great!

There was one of these on ebay about a year ago and it didn't sell when the starting bid was £1000 if i remember correctly.

It was then reslisted with a starting bid of about £500, i was watching it with a view to bidding but the guy pulled the auction in the end and didn't reply to any of my messages.

These are nice items and I would love to have one myself but i think they have to be viewed as a nice piece of memorabilia rather than a piece of art. Pest Control won't authenticate them (i asked before planning to bid on the one on ebay) which ultimately limits their value.

If you were looking to sell i would suggest sticking it on ebay - with a starting bid of £1 if you're feeling brave (after all it looks like 2 of us here would happily bid £400+) or if you have a figure in mind stick it up there with a Buy It Now price, then if it sells it sells.

Nice item, good luck with the sale.
