I just pooped my pants... :shock:

(Are the average sale prices about even for the trade?)

average sale price for those prints is 2k... the low end of sales of bomb hugger are a little over 2k but his prices have dropped and are dropping.

I don't think I could do it... but that's just me. I have very limited Banksy print knowledge though, so that almost definitely sways my stance.

Regardless, I wish I had one of the Bomb Hugger prints to trade you for that stack of prints! :D

good point about framing materials.. a new question to ask the owner.

It's a hard trade for me to make..

I make my own daughter sign the photos we take of her; I don't do unsigned.

Knocks on the bomb hugger include it being unsigned, a large run and the ever-present Banksy provenance issues. I'd be talking to POW and going through the COA process on an unsigned banksy of this age. Pro's include the fact that it's a classic Banksy image and is colorful in a 'appeals to everyone' kind of way.

I agree with Admonkey, unsigned is usually a deal breaker.

That being said, if presented to me and the COA was in hand, I'd probably swing the deal.

Id do it if it had a COA from POW or pest control and proof that the print was in good condition and was'nt dry-mounted! Not my favourite banksy print but could probably trade for another. Like you say though, prices are coming down, i think unsigned prints are a thing of the past on his stuff now so maybe these will come down further in price as time goes on.

You are going to use the Bomb Hugger to get a different Banksy print?

Either way, I hope the rest of the trade goes perfectly (shipping or swapping or whatever is going down, best of luck that everything goes smoothly) I know I'd be insanely nervous until the trade is final and you both get the other prints safely!

seems like a great value to me. and as far as banksy prices going down, i wouldnt worry about that at all. its the market in general right now. the piece is one of his earlier works and signed or not will always have a buyer. if he stops doing signed editions it COULD make the unsigned editons a rare and POTENTIALLY more desirable thing in the future. i think there was a thread on the banksy boards about this.

Your trade is the one that the Banksy print holder went through with though, right?!
