900 for a damaged print., by Poppy Sunshine on Feb 27, 2009 10:17:45 GMT 1, Link didn't work for me but I'm pretty sure you'll be referring to the Monkey.
It does make you cringe but at the same time I think it's fantastic that someone just nailed this to the wall to enjoy the picture with no concern for its value.
I was talking to a chap the other day who gave his son a flying copper when he went to college.
The lad pinned it to the wall of his bedroom and left it there when he returned home.

900 for a damaged print., by wiesn089 on Feb 27, 2009 10:40:47 GMT 1, It's damaged in the face aswell I think (spot above the nose). I wouldn't be happy with it. I too think that it's a cool thing he just liked the image, but I personally wouldn't have done something like that when I really loved the work.
I think the buyer will be really disappointed, just look at the photo of the numbering in the upper corner, it seem's to be pretty worn allover, especially the outer parts of the print.

900 for a damaged print., by discoduster on Feb 27, 2009 10:55:42 GMT 1, The fact that the damage was in the pow markings finally put me off.
A restorer can sort out those staple holes no problem but probably can't do much around the stamp

Damage limitation springs to mind

900 for a damaged print., by silvermyn on Feb 27, 2009 12:59:30 GMT 1, IMO if it was stapled to a wall it must have a fair amount of wear and tear in addition to the visible staple damage. Humidity, fly 5hit, scratches and dust are all going to take their toll.
At ยฃ900 you really have to be in love with this one...

900 for a damaged print., by curiousgeorge on Feb 27, 2009 14:46:09 GMT 1, ^^^ I don't for one nano-second believe those bids to be genuine
It's not ruined as you said though, I've seen prints over 50 years old which have been torn into 8 bits. In the right hands it was fully restored and you would never know it used to be in 8 bits

Even a very well restored piece is not worth as much as perfect print!
Also, got to question what you're letting yourself in for with a ยฃ200 restoration. May be wrong but that estimate sounds a bit low for a top and tails on this one.
Good luck to him but i won't be bidding on this, as much as I'd like one of these

900 for a damaged print., by G-Man on Feb 27, 2009 16:34:39 GMT 1, Restorers can do a great job but not sure that they would be able to sort those holes over the numbering, I have a print at the restorers at the moment and they asked whether the damage was over the numbering or signature as they wouldn't be able to sort it out if it was.
I think that the monkey is one of the all time best Banksy I'd have paid ยฃ1k for this much damage but not sure I'd pay more
I think you'd have to be mental to pay ยฃ2k

900 for a damaged print., by amsterdam9697 on Feb 28, 2009 3:09:31 GMT 1, I actually bid on the print, but when it got to 1000+, I was out... From the pics it looked like it was #2 in the edition... How do you end up with a Banksy as a gift that low in the Edition and have no idea as to it's value...
Christ, pick up a frame for a tenner at the fleamarket If anything, don't staple OVER the edition run... But it is cool to love a print just for the sake of loving the print with no worry about value ;D
Did the same with MANY Pollock Phish prints back in college that are now going for 1-2K+ ;D
