newbie question, by nic123 on Jun 16, 2009 10:04:28 GMT 1, Hi all, I'm planning to get a signed and numbered Banksy but I really need some help as . I'm not an expert at all, so I want to make sure it's not a fake . I don't have lots of money to spend, let's say around ยฃ3000
I'd like to get a beautiful item which is going to be hopefully also a good investment...

newbie question, by darrenrapley on Jun 16, 2009 10:07:11 GMT 1, I am no expert but my suggestions are to either buy from an established forum member with recomendations from other members or make sure it is COA'd by Pest Control. Most forum members will automatically supply the COA though I guess.

newbie question, by Dellboyy on Jun 16, 2009 10:12:45 GMT 1, With that cash you could easily get a more recent print like Nola, which all came with a coa from pow! Have a browse through the for sale section, there are quite a few prints for sale atm.

newbie question, by nic123 on Jun 16, 2009 10:37:23 GMT 1, Any raccomandation about what to get (apart from personal taste) in terms of a potential investment? any raccomandations about reliable forum members? I don't want to end up with an empty bank account and a piece of paper with no value :-)
Thanks guys for your prompt response!!

newbie question, by burn111 on Jun 16, 2009 11:07:20 GMT 1, if you dont have loads of money to spend ยฃ3000 will get you quite a few unsigned prints
wich i have if you want any......
un if you was looking to spend ยฃ3000 on a signed print would you hang it in a cheap frame? or would you save up another ยฃ500 - ยฃ700 to get it framed?

newbie question, by schlomo on Jun 16, 2009 11:21:05 GMT 1, Burn thats a jubbly avatar man..... just jubbly.....
Nic its a good problem to have man! take your time, check people out before you hand over your clams, get the coa, check names and numbers with Dora at POW, check condition.
Its such a personal taste man that its hard to suggest a print to ya, go for the one you want as they all retain value and dont worry about investment as it will handle itself. That or wait for the new one to come out.....
best of luck, make sure you post pics of it nce framed and up so we can see what choice you went for.....

newbie question, by graeme501 on Jun 16, 2009 11:36:38 GMT 1, if your looking for investment, i would get a banksy nola - signed, great image, and a low edition compared to other banksy images when you take into consideration the signed and u/s numbers, and comes with pest control COA
should be able to pick one up for around ยฃ2000, maybe under, get it framed, and keep the rest, or buy something else you like

yeah the frame cost about ยฃ150 but the glass can cost up too ยฃ300 - ยฃ400 depends if you want good glass or standed
plus depends on size of print Applause cost ยฃ680 to frame with glass not saying you have to spend that sort of cash on your framing but ive got mine done for the long run and i have most of them museum grade as i want them to last for a very long time

Newgate gallery framed my Nola, conservation frame with uv protective glass, 150 notes.....

newbie question, by Sundowner on Jun 16, 2009 11:54:48 GMT 1, As dellboyy says, going for a Nola or Very Little Helps will be well within your budget and will both come with a COA from POW. Nola is averaging about ยฃ1.9k and VLH about ยฃ1.7k at the moment. With the change you could also buy a colour Trolleys.
If you want a signed older print, then for ยฃ3k you are going to struggle on a lot of them, although you should be able to pick up a Grin Reaper for about that and that one is a lovely print and always holds its value.
