Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by Deleted on Mar 4, 2020 9:22:06 GMT 1, I find it hard to understand why youโd ever sell something of this value anywhere other than at auction. Sothebyโs or Christieโs would bite your arm off to sell it and almost certainly reduce the usual 10% commission. Itโs more than worth it for the peace of mind, plus youโd probably get a great price on something that comes up so rarely.
All this talk is about minimising your risk of fraud by selling privately. At this value, Iโd be looking to eradicate the risk entirely.

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by vandamme on Mar 4, 2020 10:35:30 GMT 1, I have to agree with you, iIf I was spending that much I would fly out
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.. saying that lots of people have already done it is not really a justification.. its fair to say we have all read tales on here of people who have done it ( not for this amount even ) and ended up in trouble...so it works both ways. Im in not trying to take the higher ground, im just saying that there is no way that I would send that amount of money, by Bank Transfer, ย two months before I even get to see / collect a print to someone ive communicated with for 24 hours on an open online forum, in a totally different country.. I appreciate all amount of checks can be done to try to verify the print and the seller, but why take that risk when there are other, safer ways to do the transaction. Just attempting to highlight the risk that is all Its not really that crazy actually... plenty here have done it myself included. With a proper reference check there shouldnโt be a problem. If no references available than Iโd probably agree. My statement was assuming the best and not the worst. That all due diligence has been done already.

I donโt understand your point. Big auction houses arenโt just interested in paintings worth hundreds of thousands. A print worth ยฃ50,000+, and guaranteed to sell, is going to be very interesting to them.
Or are you saying ยฃ50k is not enough money to make it worth worrying about fraud?

Then there's the matter of payment when he arrives to get the print. At that point, after he's inspected it, how should we handle the money transfer? i assume some kind of currency conversion has to take place, but I know little about such things. can anyone help?
Lucky wasnโt from Europe !

all art prices are likely to dip so conduct sale soon as if possible .
if want a secure sale conducted , you could get a contract written up by a solicitor with deposit conditions and negotiate from sale price 50/50 split on costs.
ยฃ350-ยฃ550 to get a contract sale drawn up

Not really. I ve seen cases with lawyers refusing to release escrow even with both parties requesting it, turn into sh*t shows

Lawyers work for clients. A lawyer can strongly advise against a certain course of action, but if the client insists, the lawyerโs job is either to do it, refuse and get fired by the client, or to withdraw from representation.

So yeah beware of lawyers escrow services, especially when dealing in large sums or when documentation is not solid.

You should have filed an ethics complaint against that lawyer.
