Original signed Banksy on Ebay?, by Feral Things on May 22, 2013 15:18:51 GMT 1, Is the story that it was bequeathed from a friend who got it from Banksy shortly after some kind of road traffic accident which temporarily impaired his mental capacity and his ability to cut a stencil properly? 
I'm going out on a (very short) limb and guessing it's fake.

The lesser known 'shit brown' period Banksy went through, very much like Picasso's 'blue' period, only much worse.

Original signed Banksy on Ebay?, by sakyamuni on May 22, 2013 16:54:40 GMT 1, quite an interesting character this seller.... he sold a painting signed "vincent" a few weeks back. Here is the description:
"A label fixed to the back (Written in French) describes some of the paintings history, but other than that I know nothing else. It is a very dark and dirty painting of a landscape showing a wheat field. It is signed Vincent..and the label refers to Vincent Van Gogh..At this point I must stress that I am not assuming this is by that artist but the label states that it is..It certainly needs some research and time, to find out..."
Maybe the most fascinating part is that he actually sold it....
Definitely someone to follow in the future, i am sure there is more to come...

I humoured him to see what he came up with i had already emailed Banksys PR to let them know what was going on and the claims this guy was making. He came back to me with this image stating that the demand would be huge and he was 2000 printed. I told him how poor it was and that i was just humouring him and that Pest control and Banksys PR had been emailed he then claimed he is not the Banksy that POW worked with and he called himself Banksy Artist not Banksy lol all in all he is a joke

It's a scam, and a hopelessly pathetic one at that. Banksy does not have a Facebook account, you'd know this is if you spent more time considering his art and statements on his website than you do on the commodities of greed on eBay.

Unfortunately FB doesn't authenticate "celebrity" accounts like twitter does so as long as the actual personality doesn't complain, banksy prob thinks its funny, it stays up and gains more and more members.

I think the seller is just taking profit of people who hope to find a genuine piece off ebay... knowing the piece is certainly fake but "who knows ?".
If the seller was actually honest he would try to have them authentified by experts.
