Damien Hirst NFT "The Currency", by Balboa on Jul 24, 2021 8:50:48 GMT 1, That's kind of taking the p*ss when many (including myself) haven't received an email for the one email address they used. Well itโs not really. You should have had the foresight to use more than one email to maximise your chances. One email = one chance. Common sense. It didn't appeal to my sense of fairness to create additional addresses just to increase my chances of winning.

Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by Balboa on Jun 25, 2021 21:43:30 GMT 1, Testing the water to see if anyone is interested in this at ยฃ50,000?
I donโt want to get into discussions over the price. If you think Iโm after too much, please just move on. I reserve the right to ask what I want because this is truly difficult to part with. Iโve been in this game since 2004 and sold several for way under what theyโre worth now. This is my last Banksy and if I cash out now it is unlikely Iโll ever be able to buy back in.
Thereโs a tiny scuff on the bottle, which may have been there since the original printing and two printing errors that definitely have been there from the start. Banksy signed it, so the printing errors canโt have bothered him. They are barely noticeable unless looking for them. Otherwise it is perfect. Iโd say itโs a 9/10.
It is professionally framed to conversation standard using acid-free materials with 93.7% UV art glass and <1% reflection. The wood is from sustainable sources if youโre into that sort of thing.
Pest Control certificate in hand (old style) and it is registered in my name.
Print is located near Ely/Newmarket/Cambridge but can ship if needs be.
DM with any questions and have a pleasant weekend.

Who's on the waiting list?, by Balboa on Jun 17, 2021 20:56:04 GMT 1, With very little effort, one can find these from sources other than Timex for the same price or less - and with no waiting list.

Hirst Raffles or Claridges or regular Spots ? , by Balboa on Jun 12, 2021 21:03:15 GMT 1, Guys - which one would you recommend as a first Hirst Spot print to go for : Claridges, Raffles or a regular Spot print ? Thanks ! I hate to be the one to say it - but whichever you like more.
Personally, I prefer the regular spots. But they will cost more than Claridges or Raffles (unless you are happy with only a few spots and a small piece of art on your wall).

What to do when...., by Balboa on May 7, 2021 18:52:54 GMT 1, I sold a Grin Reaper and a signed J&J around 2008 for less than ยฃ2K each. I emailed Banksy to tell him I had sold them and asked if he wanted any money because I had made a profit from his work. He replied, asking me to make a donation to a charity that helps the visually impaired. I sponsored a guide dog through their twelve months of training. If that's true hats off to you mate.
Itโs true. And thanks.

UV Protection Glass โข Museum Glass, by Balboa on Apr 28, 2021 6:22:01 GMT 1, By this logic, Iโm surprised you didnโt conclude that it would be cheaper still to frame with standard glass and use the window film on that.

Unsolicited Banksy Offer, by Balboa on Apr 22, 2021 9:32:46 GMT 1, Might be reading too much into this but received a message out of the blue from a newly registered member offering me a Banksy for a knocked down price (that I don't remember ever being on the hunt for) Anyone else receive one of these in the last hour? Asked me to contact his 'friend' at an email address. Could be legit but seems an odd way to go about it. My scam senses are tingling If you're seriously considering this then I will offer you a signed GWB for ยฃ10,000. I accept cash in a dark alley only.

BREXIT and Double VAT, by Balboa on Apr 9, 2021 10:46:32 GMT 1, You say "the VAT doesn't get deducted at checkout for EU customers". ย Are you sure? ย Have you asked them? ย My understanding is that a UK company will now deduct VAT (-20%) for EU customers and then you will pay VAT when it enters your own country. ย I would e-mail them and check, if I was you. ย Today I talked with a different gallery in the UK about the "brexit side effects" on an item I'd like to buy from them.ย Let's say the item was 100 GBP. I asked if that price included the 20% vat, and it did. So I assumed - and actually asked if, for me, being Italy based, the price would have been 80 GBP.ย But they told me that the price was still 100 GBP and " any customs charges will be up to 20% of that price".
Then they corrected to "22%" because in Italy VAT is at 22%, but that's not the point of course: the point is that if this is true (they confessed they wasn't sure of what will happen once the item arrives at the border) , I will be paying the VAT two times.ย Shouldn't they "cut" the price to 80GBP?ย What am I missing here? (a lot I guess)
Well, firstly you are missing the fact that 20 is 20% of 100, not 20% from 100
You should be charged ยฃ83.33 by the gallery (plus whatever they add for freight) and IT customs should charge you at whatever VAT rate is established for importing art on the ยฃ83.33 plus shipping.

Import duties , by Balboa on Apr 6, 2021 8:04:47 GMT 1, It doesnโt matter where it was originally produced. You have to pay import taxes for any goods entering the country no matter where they were originally produced. Plus the art taxation system doesnโt take into consideration the nationality of the artist or where the print was actually made etc.
Not strictly true.

Import duties , by Balboa on Apr 6, 2021 8:03:33 GMT 1, Hi Genuinely question that just occurred to me. Iโve searched for the answer but couldnโt find anything. If someone is buying a Banksy print (made in UK) from a private seller letโs say in the US, does the buyer need to pay import duties? If so, how much is it? And, if so, why would someone need to pay import duties on something that was originally produced in the UK? Thanks for your help Cheers
www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-less-import-duty-and-vat-when-re-importing-goods-to-the-uk-and-eu
You mustโve been the exporter and the return must be within 3 years.

I like the framing too. Not what I would have picked but it works!

Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by Balboa on Apr 2, 2021 12:43:26 GMT 1, It means that some of us can see the funny side. Of spending 30k on it?
If someone buys this for 30K then theyโve got a relative bargain compared with the person who paid 90K at Sothebyโs.
You were asking ยฃ3K for a Welcome Mat last year. This is worth at least ten times one of those in my opinion.

Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by Balboa on Apr 2, 2021 7:59:55 GMT 1, Looking to sell my U/S Toxic Mary. Is in excellent condition and framed to museum standards. Comes with COA/PC. Now, before people start badgering on about Christies,ย I'm not in any rush to sell (can easily wait 2 more years). This isn't a make or break it for me.ย That all said, I'm open to sensible / serious offers. Surely there's nothing better to spend 30k on than this beautiful, uplifting image that will add so much pleasure and happiness to your life? You can show it off to your wife. Parade it in front of your children. You'd have to have been poisoned as a baby.

Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by Balboa on Apr 1, 2021 20:01:50 GMT 1, Iโd say around ยฃ28-30k depending on condition is fair on a private sale. GLWTS Not to be biased, but I've already had offers over that and know a few that have sold privately for higher than those estimates.ย
Then why not make it easier on yourself and state what a serious or sensible offer looks like? Or better still, just say what you want for it.
