Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by CR on Feb 22, 2007 19:09:12 GMT 1, im sure someone else will tell you this but be very warey of buying from a seller with 0 feedback! without actually seeing the print first.
I would ask for a photo with something specific next to it like an email you send them or todays paper - like in a ransom situation to prove they have it!

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by tadghostal on Feb 22, 2007 19:39:01 GMT 1, Right, I should have said that an email was already sent requesting the "ransom" style picture as well as a pic of any receipt/provenance they might have for the item.
I just wanted to know if the pics looked like they had been used in previous listings and may have been stolen (indicating obvious fraud), or if this appears to be a seller who creates and closes certain user names.
And, of course, the black dots on the clock face. Seems to me like that would detract from the value (presuming everything else is fine. . . ).

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by policeaware on Feb 23, 2007 0:22:12 GMT 1, Banksy didn't have a problem with the mark when he signed it and nor did POW when they sold it. Provided you do the ownership check & take sensible ebay precautions it shouldn't be an issue.
Also I'm pretty sure this number hasn't been up on ebay before.

My flying copper has a greyish area on the black, no problem with it, such is the joy of hand pulled screenprints,

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by tomhills1 on Feb 23, 2007 19:50:12 GMT 1, right this is my opinion and my opinion only so treat it as such. my grin is number 203, no marks whatsoever, plus the photo of the signature looks like clouding/bubbling creeping in to the print. my guess is it has been badly mounted/framed whatever, and now they're trying to get rid. could be damp, i'm a builder and it looks like a moisture stain to me (ooh er!). don't settle for second best, unless it's dirt cheap and you can live with it.
also, you know what makes me uncomfortable? check the thread "here we go again people". do you recognise those crappy little dictionaries from anywhere? may just be my suspicious nature but there you go. no feedback etc, up to you but i wouldn't touch it unless it was a bargain.
by the way i'm not in any way saying it's fake, just maybe poor quality. maybe i need to lighten up, the wife thinks so.

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by rabbitlegs on Feb 27, 2007 18:21:18 GMT 1, LW think your right, sure looks to to have been subjected to moisture near signature, I could not live with those marks for even a day! Real shame that as its cool number as well.
Mine is 137 spotless,and my pride and joy...(see banksys out for the lads p30)
A word of WARNING to any potential buyers....According to POW the outer border of the Grin-Reaper is printed from highly radio active isotope Polonium 210 This was the downfall of Russion spy Alexander Litvinenko...carefull folks!
On a serious note this could be a great chance for someone to get a cheap (For a 3anksy) signed first print perhaps? Ive spoken to the seller and she seems really nice.
By the way LW very nice avatar...you beat me to it,I wanted a reaper. Silky did me a wicked lil'wabbit

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by cosmic on Feb 27, 2007 18:32:26 GMT 1, i think the paint is just the way it was printed , is not the paint on the boarder tar based ? i have seen a few and on close inspection they differ on the boarder no big deal i reckon

cheers rabbitlegs, i'm well pleased with it although it doesn't compare to the real thing!
i agree there could be a bargain to be had there, it's one of those you need to be able to live with the defects and not expect to make shedloads of wonga if you come to sell it. still a great image and that's what counts.
cosmic, the bit about the border is a joke. check the POW news page from november last year.
p.s you can also check my grin, and flags, on p32 of get your banksy's out thread.

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by rabbitlegs on Feb 27, 2007 19:49:33 GMT 1, Thanks LW, you got a couple of fine framing jobs there (love GR)
As for the border I think I prefer the Polonium story! ...lol rather than boring tar,pva,etc
For me this is his best print yet, The paper, the ink, the dont worry about death acid smiley face, and the radio active border....... ;-)

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by rabbitlegs on Feb 28, 2007 3:33:50 GMT 1, Respect! Thats a damn fine piece of kit.....Makes mine look like a framed Athena poster!
Hankpank your a Geeza/Geezeress.....I do think the flash adds alot to the photo,No disrespect at all,It simply highlights the sheer brutal quality of this piece,
Banksys best print by far in my opinion. Thanks for the post! just lovin the grey shades...Mine is tucked away in a dark corner so never get to see full colour range like that.
may have a move around now and a new framing job...Bugger!

Been after one for a little while, but a bit wary of ebay....
I have a Micallef Angel Bomber 2 or a Judgement Day and some cash!
It will go to a good home and get framed and up on the wall.....

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by tomhills1 on Mar 22, 2007 22:40:08 GMT 1, i think you'll need a fair amount of cash to go with that, the last two sold for ยฃ3k and ยฃ3100 on ebay. galleries obviously a lot more. 
oh, and i'd never part with mine, sorry. keep looking, it's worth it in the end
