Very odd.

Banksy - GWB for sale (Offers around 4K), by jesustheba on Oct 25, 2011 20:44:44 GMT 1, Without getting into an argument i think he was asking if there is any physical difference between the two probably in the wrong section But i have to say there are differences between a fake rolex and a real one eg rolex movement and precise engineering etc same with a BMW but with a screen printed piece of paper? Also interesting point about investment though is that the real reason we cherish our og Banksys So by your logic - there is no difference between the Mona Lisa hanging in the Louvre and one you can buy from the gift shop? Or a better example might be a Warhol. The first Soup Can Warhol ever screened is just as valuable and desirable as one printed by Sunday Morning a month ago? Come on now. Who are you trying to fool? As for investment - "interesting"? How about "factual". Why is it the For Sale section has the most popular discussions on here? Why is it people pay attention to what Bonhams or Christies is doing? Why are people standing in line in the freezing cold to get a print? It is because of love? I'm sure to a degree. It is because of appreciation/investment? ยฅโฌ$, ยฅโฌ$ it is. -M
What a ridiculous thing to say
you are talking about a hand painted original canvas compared with a print if you don't know the difference between those you really are in the wrong game
I am talking about the actual physical object take emotion out of it
Something that is identical in every way that if i put side by side with an original you or Banksy wouldn't be able to tell the difference(I haven't seen one so guessing a bit)
I agree with you 100% about the investment side of it,people don't seem to admit it very often though
anyway its a stupid argument that wont be resolved and seems to have brought out the worst in people

Are you sure they are sold?....I haven't seen any sold posts on any of them yet.

Banksy - GWB for sale (Offers around 4K), by ยฉhief' on Oct 25, 2011 21:54:47 GMT 1, One did sell the other day but was bought by a U.S member from a U.S buyer at ยฃ4.4K. Had some very good offers too from the otherside of the pond - just not sure about sending such a high value item by overseas post. Would rather deal face to face...

You're probably right mate. Have got it up there on a BIN or BO but will go for the traditional auction next week if I don't get the right offer..

Banksy - GWB for sale (Offers around 4K), by jdwheeler on Nov 23, 2011 12:06:48 GMT 1, Any difference in this and the ยฃ50 ones on ebay? I used to own an unsigned edition and kinda miss it. What kind of daft question is that? Is there any difference? Is there a difference between a Rolex and a Chinese copy? Is there a difference between a Louis Vitton handbag and one from some guy on the street? Value. Collectability. Potential for appreciation. The fact that it's REAL and includes a COA. 32 year old member of 4 years asking a 12 year old quality question... 
Its a fair question.
The unsigned print is just a copy of an original canvas.
I would be extremely suprised if they were made by Banksy and so it is quite possible they are exactly the same.
No one is questioning that there is a market for the authorised, POW stamped ones and the seller has stated he is open to offers.
The framing does indeed look stunning.
