Copying the image and printing 'Banksy' on it is a deplorable act in itself, only worsened by the fact it's being offered by another person who works as an artist.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by craigf on Jul 20, 2008 9:28:13 GMT 1, It wasn't done by CR, another member did a small run of them about a year ago. Ebay is full of reproductions, other than this one being on good quality paper I don't personally see the difference (obviously there is a significant point whether any of these copies should be available to begin with)

I didn't produce it and bought it because I liked the image. I have no need for it anymore so I am offering it to someone else who may want it for the image and nothing more.

I'm curious as to why you think that image is "crap." Personally, I'm rather fond of it and like to hear what criteria others use to determine whether an image is great or bad. Or are you referring to this specific canvas, ie that the image appears crooked and haphazardly stenciled onto the canvas lowering its value? From my vantage point, that painting at $60k is a steal and I would very much like to learn why this item hasn't skyrocketed north of $100k. I'm probably biased as I'm an avid shark lover/photographer so perhaps that's why this image strikes a chord with me. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Banksy • Barcode Print, by dotdot on Jul 29, 2008 17:12:35 GMT 1, It's an interesting piece - way out of my range and probably a
few folks on ebay.com as well.
Whilst the description of the work is quite solid the photo
isn't selling the image.A few photos would more than suffice.
If i had that kind of money burning a hole - ebay wouldn't be
the place and that photo wouldn't help.

It's the barcode shark and it is unfortunately at an awkward angle on the canvas but the stencil is the same as this and I've always LOVED all of the barcode images:

Banksy • Barcode Print, by Heavyconsumer on Jul 29, 2008 17:28:04 GMT 1, I like this piece and would like to see some better photos of it. Barcode has always been one of my favourite prints of his and this is a nice twist on it. It appears very reasonably priced at £30k, based on what little I know of previous canvas sales at auctions. Seems to me that the guy is under-selling it and ebay is not the best place for such a piece. He is also being pretty negligent imo, buy selling such a piece independently, without a PC certificate in hand.

If he's got the original recepit and can put the buyer in touch with the gallery owner, that's pretty damn convincing. It does have the orange stencil and measures the exact same size as those paintings in that show. It certainly looks authentic to me and if, as a buyer, the seller lived up to his representations, I would have no worries regarding the eventual Pest Control authentication.
Regardless, back to my original question- why do any of you believe this image or canvas is inferior to some of his other work?

Banksy • Barcode Print, by craigf on Jul 30, 2008 14:52:29 GMT 1, OK, the seller says they are the original buyer and they have good feedback, but other parts worry me.
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110272963567&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=001
It has a blind stamp - I've never seen a Barcode with one. It is a high number so it could be the last ones were stamped? What I can see of the numbering looks ok and it has the red stamp on it
300 weren't signed, but an easy mistake to make and not that significant
£120 spent on a perspex frame - looks like a £10 clip frame to me!!!
What does anyone else think? It could be legit and is currently very cheap

Banksy • Barcode Print, by doublehelix on Jul 30, 2008 15:00:22 GMT 1, That frame won't have done the print any favours! And the £120 price quoted for what is obviously a cheap clip frame is very odd.

Thanks RBK, I checked on the print section here and possibly due to my incompetence could not find the normal clear and concise summary, but did see a post saying none were blind stamped
As for the framing, should have gone to MrFrameman

Banksy • Barcode Print, by bullet on Jul 30, 2008 17:03:24 GMT 1, hmmm...
in summary i asked for full prov (not a covering email) and about the frame, here was the response
==
(1) with regards to provenance:
this was originally bought from POW a few years ago.... a long time before Banksy got as famous as he is now.. so, in all honesty, the provenance was not as important as I have imagined! At the time, all I got was a till receipt and the poster tube. I have just looked around for these and cant seem to find them. However, I can absolutely assure you that this is the genuine item.
(2)with regards to the frame
Yes, the frame it is in now (as shown in the pics) is a clip frame. This will be the one that it will come in-- I will be sending it WITH the frame as this will minimise any possible damage to it during transit. The £120 cost I quoted was the price I paid for the mounting and frame at the time-- apolgise for the confusion. In terms of technical details, all I know is that it is under a dry acid free mount.
Hope this answers all the questions
