SOLD, by twist65 on Feb 16, 2015 12:45:11 GMT 1, Hey all - thanks for the PMs sofar.
Just to clarify - I will reply to and forward all serious offers, not people sniffing around for a guide price. Sorry if this offends, my logic being that if you are genuinely looking for a Barcode or similar stature print, then you will have a pretty good idea of where you need to be on this one..
cheers
Matt

SOLD, by twist65 on Feb 16, 2015 0:52:38 GMT 1, hey all - been off the forum for a couple of months, so happy new year to all.
A good friend of mine who's not a forum member has decided to sell his signed Barcode so has asked me to post. He's central London based and looking for a cash deal in person. Mint condition, PC in hand, framed in gallery black wood, acid free double mount and museum glass, low number. I've bought quite a few bits from him in the past, just wish I could buy this one myself!
Naturally this is a pretty reluctant sale, so please PM me any serious offers - I will reply to all messages and pass on the details of any prospective buyers.
Thanks
Matt

Invader • Invasion Kits IK, by twist65 on Dec 5, 2014 15:55:27 GMT 1, For me, I'm a huge invader fan but he seriously needs to rethink these. I was actually collecting invasion kits until I sold them all last year. Originally I decided I would much prefer as many IKs as possible instead of 1 alias on the wall. I don't begrudge the price of them as he is a top tier artist, and I love the concept and the idea of supporting the invasion. The problem is that originally these kits were, what £75 or whatever and now they are 10 times that. At £75, for me anyway, they are kind of a throw-away item, to be opened up, stuck on the wall, your shed, wherever - a bit of art fun really. At £750 to me at least they are a much more considered purchase, one which I would hope had some sort of resale value should my tastes ever change etc..
What came to light when I amongst others had been burned with a fake sealed Hypnotic Vienna kit last year, was that Invader or anyone cannot verify the kits once they have been opened. The tiles are just mass produced tiles with nothing about them, no little id code on the back or anything. Basically if you buy one of these new kits at £750 or whatever, open it and hang it on the wall, then it is effectively worth ZERO as there is no way Orbi or anyone can tell a genuine opened kit from a fake kit - or whether a genuine signed bag is being sold with fake tiles etc...
For me this is just insane and easily rectified by either getting the tiles stamped on the back (surely this expense can be afforded by Invader bearing in mind how much the kits sell for now), the kits being signed on the front (maybe the bottom right tile with an invader on it), or the self adhesive strip on the back of the kits being custom-printed as a signed COA, so that even if you open the sealed bag the contents are still verifyable and even if you stick it on your wall you can keep the peeled off COA...
Again, I appreciate this wasn't an issue in the early days, but to not look at this again when you are charging 10 times the amount for me shows a complete lack of respect and transparency. The sealed bags have clear instructions on how to open your IK, and stick it to whatever surface you like, but it fails to say that in doing so the kit is worthless! It's like buying an Aladdin Sane print, but POW being unable to give providence on them after you take them out of the tube... And failing to tell you so before you buy it, yet providing you with instructions on how to take it out of the tube and make it worthless!!!
Originally Invader talked about them as a 'home invasion' or encouraging people to stick them on the streets, I remember reading interviews to that effect. More recently he has come up with some complete b*lloxey explanation that they are a 'concept piece' intended to be kept in the packaging - which is complete nonsense to try and skirt round the fact that he hasn't thought them through and is more interested in protecting his market value than what he is actually selling to people.
So like I say, I think he needs to rethink how he does an editioned mosaic. Signed kits, 20 or 50 at a few grand each, which come in perspex similar to original aliases (or same pricing as the tiled book covers, which to me look really awkward, I would prefer to buy one without the book stuck on the back!), plus an unsigned edition of 500 or so self-assembly ones at maybe £100 or so would seem about right to me and not negatively effect his pricing, which like I said is rightly deserved and fair do's for protecting it, but please be transparent in what you are actually selling to people and what they can and can't do with your products if they don't want to be p!ssing their money down the drain...
Rant over =]

Banksy Laugh Now Print, by twist65 on Nov 26, 2014 15:35:43 GMT 1, I think its totally fair enough for people to comment whether they think its legit or not, since there's no mention of PC and it's quite different to other known laugh now originals for the reasons others have mentioned.
people comment all the time with ebay listings so why not with this? might well be genuine but the opinion of knowledgable forumites should be welcomed.
I am no expert but I do know that there have been some fairly recent Laugh Nows, to my eyes if this one is genuine then its begs the question why is there no coa? You'd get one if bought from source and would have to be seriously "not art savvy" to spend that sort of $ on the secondary without one, and anyone who already owns a few original Banksy canvases and other nice originals should be well aware this.

Bisser 🇧🇪 Belgium Street Art • Print Release News, by twist65 on Nov 26, 2014 11:03:13 GMT 1, Bisser aint really my cuppa and if I wanted something like it for my sons room i'd probably get a Where the Wild Things are poster and not have to worry about looking after it. But good to see it's an 'old fashioned' release - low edition, small number of hand finished APs, and no bamboozlement of colourways and versions on canvas, metal or whatever else.

Magenta choose your weapon with pics and price, by twist65 on Nov 21, 2014 18:46:59 GMT 1, if it were me i'd sell the grey NBG. The GWRB may be unsigned but easily up there in his most iconic few images and would be much harder to source again if you had sellers remorse..
an enviable conundrum to have! Am sure the sale will be worth it =]
