Banksy/Faile/Lucy M/Dolk/Eelus etc., by geoffreyrickly on May 25, 2010 3:37:06 GMT 1, I have a ton of old prints that I'm thinking about selling and I'm not really sure what to do with asking prices... Mostly everything on eBay seems like "wish-I-could-get-this-much" pricing. What's the best way to find out realistic value? I don't really want to sell but I'm moving and a bit strapped for cash.
I have a Banksy Rat, HMV, Jack & Jill... Faile Macbeth, Bunny Girl 1/10(or 11, can't remember)... DFace HATE, Canis Servo Regina... Lots more.
SOOO much stuff. I'm a little nervous about getting started. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

It looks as though you have plenty of bits there that people will be interested in.
Realistically you have 2 easy options.
1 - sell stuff on the forums
pro - no ebay fees, there are a lot of good people here
against - can be time wasters, deals can fall through
2 - sell stuff on ebay
pro - wider audience, security through ebay/paypal
against - fees, against can be time wasters
Either option you chose you are going to need to give more items on your collection, or the pieces you want to sell. My advice would be to try the forum first and then go for ebay if stuff doesn't sell.
good luck, and i like many would be interested in some of the banksy stuff so you shouldn't have problems selling

Banksy/Faile/Lucy M/Dolk/Eelus etc., by geoffreyrickly on May 26, 2010 0:24:19 GMT 1, Thank you all very much for the advice. Jakek--- that all makes sense. BME--- is expresso beans a site?
The Rat and HMV are both unsigned and the rest of the prints are signed(even J&J). Most of the stuff I've gotten straight from the printing house(pow/blackratpress etc) but the early stuff no longer has receipts or whatever. I'm going to London in a week. Should I bring the Banksy prints over for authentication? I didn't even realize that it's become an issue as I've never tried to sell.
Also, am I posting this in the wrong section? The post was mostly asking for info on getting started selling and now I seem to be in the midst of selling right here in the same thread. Is this inappropriate? I don't want to violate forum rules. Especially on my first thread.

Banksy/Faile/Lucy M/Dolk/Eelus etc., by rosstierney on May 26, 2010 0:58:26 GMT 1, Expresso Beans is a site but take the info with a pinch of salt:
www.Expressobeans/
If you want to know current market values, start a thread containing the names of the prints you want valuing & members will provide figures/evidence.
No need to take your Banksy's to London, fill out this form for each print:
www.pestcontroloffice.com/AuthForm_Prints.asp
I think the COA's cost £50.
Your post is in the correct section & healthy transactions occur here on a daily basis. Beware of members sending purposely low offers. If you're unsure about a member, post their name & other members will be happy to provide references.
Best of luck.

I can't find any recent sales of either and I'm sure it's changed since 2008. Haha. People have made requests and I don't know what to tell them.
Thanks!

yellow hate sold for just over £400, 20th march
silver hate more desirable so i'd say £450-£525

Banksy/Faile/Lucy M/Dolk/Eelus etc., by geoffreyrickly on May 29, 2010 22:54:34 GMT 1, I've got some deals going for Dolk-Che, Banksy-Rat, Dface-HATE, The Gary Taxali original, an Eelus print and maybe even the kid by Insect.
Is paypal the best way to handle the money(other than meeting up and getting cash)?
Siegelsiegel, disclizard, otto71, ralphyc, adamk and wearology are some of the people I'm talking to. Are they all cool/trustworthy?
Also, I just got an inquiry on Lucy M Forest in silver... Anyone have a price on it?

Banksy/Faile/Lucy M/Dolk/Eelus etc., by geoffreyrickly on May 30, 2010 5:31:33 GMT 1, Hey stringerbell-
I'm sorry if I offended you in some way. I'm just following the advice other, more experienced, members of the forum gave me. My general nature is to trust people. If there are predators on here than trick people out of money or artwork, I'd rather find out now rather than after it happens to me. For my part of the legwork, I'm finding a lot of prices in past sales that seem unreasonably high, like HMV for 1500gbp... I don't want to gouge anyone. So if you think I'm taking advantage, I'll stop asking questions and just set prices according to eBay prices.
I just thought it would be nice to sell prints on here where I know they're appreciated for a price that makes everyone happy.
Everyone on here has been so nice that today I was trying to think of ways to repay the generosity, like sending a free obey or cauty print to the people that got me started(people like Ross).
So I'm sorry if I've stepped over a line with too many questions. I'll keep the rest of this over PM.
Thanks for all the help, everyone.

Good luck with the sales, I would submit your COA applications asap, sometimes when PC are unsure they may ask to see a print in person. There is a comments form on the application, I would enter something along the lines of US based but in London from x until y, can bring prints in if required. That said if you are the original purchaser of the prints, I can say with a high degree of certainty they will not require to see them.
