Banksy โข Flag GOLD, by afroken on Feb 2, 2008 12:19:42 GMT 1, The point is everything has a value. Pieces that people bought in Bethlehem probably have a greater personal and emotional value because of the experience. Add to that the charity element and you can understand why someone would bid over the odds for something. But it in the open market, none of this counts - someone will only pay what it's worth. And it ain't worth 2.5k, let alone the BIN of 3.5k. Not right now anyway. There are much better Faile's out there for that kind of money if you look hard enough.

I don't want to get involved in this discussion at all.. just curious about that list though.. as it says "Memento Mori - hand-painted screenprint x3". What's the "x 3" part mean. Is it an edition of 3?

seems strange alright, as the Failes on the list have x4, x3 and x2 behind them. They also completely mistitled the 3D print as "unbelieveable proof" rather than "..truth" so bit sloppy all round really. Confusing.

i havent heard of any1 else getting them, from this or the faile forum, which is weird coz if the list is correct, there would be 12

Easiest way to solve it is to contact Faile direct.
When I got the Adam Pointer portrait by Paul Insect I mailed PI himself to ask why it had been marked A/P 1/1 and it was he who confirmed to me that it was the only one ever done. The seller was just giving me his best guesses which weren't really good enough for me. That would be my advice. Contact Faile themselves.

Faile often does editions and then doesn't sell the whole run. At their last release they only sold 3 from an edition of 8.
The point is there is an eBay auction for this piece that says it's an original. Everyone is here speculating and hoping that it is, when clearly it isn't and people are being mislead by the auction description.
I suggest you clear this up by emailing Faile and asking.

Agree with Ken. Faile will clear this up in no time, they are always very good at getting back with regards to things like this
