POW provenance turnaround, by doublehelix on Mar 18, 2008 15:05:42 GMT 1, Hi All, first post here. I emailed both POW and Pest Control yesterday with an enquiry about getting several Banksy prints that I'm hoping to acquire authenticated. I've sent the edition numbers and original owners details and I was wondering if you can give me an indication of how quickly they will respond? Is the process something that will take days, weeks or months? Any feedback would be very much appreciated, I've heard nothing back from either POW or Pest Control as yet.
Thanks!

POW provenance turnaround, by funster on Mar 18, 2008 15:09:30 GMT 1, POW are excellent. You should here back today unless Dora's busy. I took my Napalm along last week and it arrived back in the post today as it needed extra authentication. Is it an original you've acquired as I think thats all Pest Control are dealing with, might be wrong though. Welcome to the forum btw

POW provenance turnaround, by Andy'77 on Mar 18, 2008 15:18:38 GMT 1, I've waited nearly a month before and someone I know on here was waiting nearly 2 months recently. However it is a free service so I've no problem waiting that long.

POW provenance turnaround, by seidbereit on Mar 18, 2008 15:24:01 GMT 1, Kind of hit and miss in my experience. I bought an unsigned Grannies back in December and it took nearly 4 weeks for them to even respond to my prov check request by which stage I had to take the risk and pay without any really security and then when they did respond they were a bit suspicious of the number/prov and asked for the print to be returned to them for authentication (from Germany). I was bricking it.
All went well in the end and I received it back about a week or so ago (they'd had it since mid January) with the provenance reregistered in my name.
The problem with the print was that it was a single digit number and Dora was pretty sure they never ever sold these to outsiders. The reason it took them so long for them to complete their checks was that a director had to give it the ok.
All that said, Dora was really good with keeping me informed regularly on what was going on although I was pretty nervous about it the whole time.
EDIT: I suppose it's also worth considering that at the time of my initial prov request POW will have been up to their earballs in SG preparations so not really surprising that an u/s grannies wasn't top of their list of priorities.

POW provenance turnaround, by angryboy on Mar 18, 2008 17:08:20 GMT 1, Thinking about it I sent off for provenance from them last Wednesday, Dora got back to me near instantly asking for the print numbers so I sent the off Thursday. You've just reminded me I'm still waiting on a response.

POW provenance turnaround, by flypitcher on Mar 18, 2008 21:49:30 GMT 1, But which member of their team was selling the fakes on ebay?
I still do not see any arrests for fraud.
Were they all involved in the swindle?
C'mon at the time they said it was employees but where are the people cahrged with fraud?
