Man loses money after buying fake Banksy, by bazzj04 on Sept 4, 2009 12:59:51 GMT 1, what did you buy?. Did anyone on here buy any of those test prints or whatever they were that come up on ebay recently , i think there was 3 in total ?. I got a email from the seller confirming that they were screen prints, thats allot of effort to go through to produce a fake. I wondered what they looked like?.

Man loses money after buying fake Banksy, by hlarmy on Sept 4, 2009 13:05:44 GMT 1, I bought a canvas last year; the image was the one with a clown pointing two guns (can't remember the name). It was decent quality and had a Phillips du Pury sticker on the back which fooled old muggins here; didn't pay that much so have since put it down as part of the learning curve

I do believe a forum member bought an original which was loudly outed as fake when infact it was genuine.
I think it was an image of a grenade or something, cant quite remember.

I rememeber that one, early crude grenade. Very very nice (to my eyes)

It wasn't as bad as it sounds Wiz.
The guy knew exactly where it came from so he was sure it was Banksy.
But he came here just with the picture of the piece. Never gave the IMPORTANT details where or who he got it from or how much he bought it for.
He just asked for what member's thoughts were.
So of course you gonna have a mix responses.
For me, even now when it was confirmed to be 100%, it's very weak image by Banksy.
