I know a few months back I was looking at a few macbook pros on ebay I noticed that the same guy was wining all the laptops, some times for well over the new price, I e-mailed him and it turned out that he new these guys were scammer's. so to save people bidding he would put in a massive bid so no one would be done over, I hope this is the same thing paying a £1000 pounds for a photo

I wish I had kept his email address to find out if anything ever happen to him. But you make a good point.

If you were all on LA, I would buy you a round of beers for that ;D

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by krazy on Jun 21, 2007 23:50:35 GMT 1, Seems to be a lot of Grin Reapers hitting the Bay at the moment. One quick search that I did showed 3 that have recently popped up.
220123901105
290130000855
290131434042
Any guesses what they'll hit? There haven't been many up since the start of the year... and I know this is considered a favourite by a lot of people.
Disclaimer: None of them are mine... I'm a proud owner of one, but I wouldn't even consider selling it. My wife would kill me!

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by weeble on Jun 22, 2007 0:02:55 GMT 1, Yeah you're right. Reapers have been pretty quiet for a while ntil now it seems. I reckon about 6.5k on pooBay? Last I heard, say 3 weeks ago, was galleries were pricing them at 7k. Unconfirmed though. 
Either way, absolute awesome print, surely THE best quality Bansky print? I think what keeps it a bit lower than other prints is the fact it was 300 copies all signed. If it was a part signed/part unsigned, could have well been the most valuable Banksy print, considering the iconic value. IMO of course...

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by teatwosugars on Jun 22, 2007 0:14:42 GMT 1, Last one went on ebay for £4609 a few weeks ago.
Not sure on one of these reapers- the one with the stamp outside the border (subsequently meaning that it has not been trimmed). I know it's completely legit, but I think it would bug me as it seems like a mistake that should have been binned!! (though I do understand that some people may prefer it for it being 'unique').
I believe the reaper with the BIN is a forum members (I won't reveal the name as I'm sure he'll make himself known). He likes to put it up now and again with an extra few grand stuck on the price it should be. Must do it for a laugh- couldn't seriously expect someone to pay that!!! 
I agree that these will probably just top 5k

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by bond on Jun 22, 2007 7:48:06 GMT 1, i thought i'd seen the one from malta before !! a couple of times.
I was watching this one but have given up now as it's got stupid already with people wading in trying to place a knock out bid early.
this will go for about £ 5k i reckon which makes me all the more sad i set my maximum at £ 2,500 back in Feb

There's nothing wrong with the borders. The black border on GR is a full-bleed; meaning it is black all the way to the very edge--no paper color is shown on the border anywhere. I think you may be confusing the GR border with the type that appears on Dolk's Che print, however they are totally different.
It appears as though the print has a "floating" black border, framed by the edges of the print's paper:
What looks like a skewed border is in actuality the POW crepe paper that the GR was packed in when shipped. The print appears to be in a portfolio, placed on top of its shipping paper.

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by adrscib on Jun 23, 2007 0:47:10 GMT 1, hi guys.. me malta guy... i have been watching the thread.... teatwosugars got me on this one,..... (see his earlier thread)...
first you were all accusing me of being a fraudster / scammer... then you compared my beautiful country to nigeria.... what a shame on you all...
then you backstabbed me all and gave me -ve marks just because i am a foreign banksy collector...
now that you believe me... ppl like arcam still complain
it is simply not fair..... i only meant to be a fan/collector ... in my country of only 400,000 i have educated around 40ppl about banksy and they've become mad about him, so why do you treat me like that!
6.5k was my original askin price... apparentely you were laughing out loud (and giving me negative marks all the way for my extreme price which today is very realistic....) guys, make a realistic offer and i will listen.... i have nearly almost nearly sold it to another forum member) ....
i am willing to exchange for cash + micallef prints or dan baldwin canvas + cash.
let me know if you have any interesting offers guys.
Adrian

Yes, this is a bit of a freak.
"Dimensions of the print are slightly bigger than 70 cm x 44 cm as the edges were not trimmed, as the the blindstamp was placed over the border, this makes the print unique and a one off."
Maybe a "one off", but not one I would have wanted instead of the regular Grin Reaper. It looks really weird.
