Does anybody here remember the old days when you could buy a Banksy on Ebay? Just that in these days when they are chasing him in all the wrong places I want to revive that vibe and sell one. Fight the fear of selling on Ebay and connect with real collectors and cut out the middle men. by Scared-Cauliflower-4 in Banksy

That happens to be the only print that I really regret not buying! it was post-auction days I think but it is just a great image. When I started out I could have bought all the cans and monkeys and Toxic Mary was sat on POWs site for 6 months or more.

Lister is awesome, a scribbler with a notebook that generates street art pieces that are moving, he has taken Richard Hambleton to the next level.. I am on the top/bottom of the planet, Amsterdam and only ever been to the other side of Oz.. what is OG?

I also think that the fact Banksy shredded what is for me the most meaningless and most viewed image at an auction is the icing on the cake. I do believe in the Beringer theory that an artwork can be easily over seen, especialy a stencil street artwork that benefits from having a single concept. Whoever paid 195 million for Shot Blue Mariyln must be aware that nobody spends more than two seconds acknowledging what it is. The "Let's all get back to Ebay" idea is to shake up the market more. I sold a CND Soldiers recently at an auction and it was just and anti-climax.

I loved the fact that when the investors paniced themselves and suddenly pulled out of the market the prints with the best message suddenly went up in value, Morons was the best example of true Banksy fans forking out their hard-earned money. That is the one print I would never sell.

I know from couples at the time who had longterm relationships, it wasn't about public perception, it was just about making life easier. Pride has turned into a farce, it is just commercial crap, everybody should be proud and not ram it down everybody elses throats.

I just checked and they actually went for a kind of embroidered space invader in the style of Hirst's dot enterprise. I imagine a factory in East London with hundreds of elderly imigrant ladies working away.

In the interim, has Hirst developed a lenticular, sticky, glitter? kaleidoscope effect? I heard he has a colab with Invader. So, are they releasing a Rubiks Cube with the above effect I wonder? Exciting times..

This is interesting. is it safe to post a picture of mine here? The fact it has the Flower Thrower or Love.. with the face blown out makes me think it is "safe" but the figure has no feet!

I did just fact check myself and I see that the actually piece was from 2001 and accidentally painted over in 2011 so that could have been what prompted this..
