Best way to sell a Banksy?, by gearhead on Oct 11, 2008 23:23:58 GMT 1, Hey everyone,
I'm one of those lucky guys who ordered a Banksy from pictures on walls before they all got bought out. Unluckily I recently starting doing a Masters course at university and I'm finding it impossible to get a loan or funding. As such I'm having to part with my beloved Banksy "Laugh now". I have spoken to a few auctioneers and they value it as between ยฃ4-6k, unfortunately they aren't able to auction it till next February or beyond. this poses a problem for me as I need the funds as soon as possible. So, as experienced Banksy connosieurs as yourself can you recommend the best way for me to sell it at its value? I'm thinking about putting it on eBay, is that a good idea? Perhaps there are galleries that might buy it?
If anyone could provide advice I would greatly appreciate it.
God Bless,
Gearhead
P.S Here's a picture of the laugh now image but it's not a picture of my copy.

Best way to sell a Banksy?, by gearhead on Oct 11, 2008 23:34:10 GMT 1, It is signed. It's really worth more than ยฃ4-6k? Dreweatts, Chisties and Sotheby's all valued it at that. What would you guys say it's worth?

Best way to sell a Banksy?, by arcam on Oct 12, 2008 1:38:08 GMT 1, It could be worth getting a COA from Pest Control/POW.

You may have a receipt but there fakes in circulation so it would increase buyers confidence.

Best way to sell a Banksy?, by Heavyconsumer on Oct 12, 2008 3:03:52 GMT 1, I would suggest definitely getting a COA from PestControl ASAP and then you should certainly get a good price on ebay, if you choose to go that way. Andipa gallery in Knightsbridge may buy it from you for cash too, but at what price I have no idea. It's an extremely sought after image and was going for ยฃ10k+++ in mint condition a while back, but as you may be aware print prices have dropped considerably in the past 8/9 months or so - Personally, FWIW I would agree with about ยฃ7-8k at the moment. Good luck anyway.

That seems a lot. What do you base this estimate on?

Best way to sell a Banksy?, by Deleted on Oct 12, 2008 8:18:51 GMT 1, hey gearhead, i'll give you a ten bag of heroin for it.
i agree with others though that you should get more than the estimate, maybe at the right auction well over the estimate. try to get it in to bonhams and do get the provenance from pow what ever you do, good luck with the sale.
