You gotta love how modest she is when she says had she bought them all no one would of been able to buy these beautiful Banksy pieces.... After spending some time in New Zealand, I'd expect nothing else from a Kiwi. Great people. I only wish they'd have shown the signature on these pieces |

She had no idea at purchase point.

Lady who bought cheap Banksy in NY for sale at 200,000NZ$, by Ruggs on Feb 19, 2014 23:02:03 GMT 1, She stood talking to the stall holder for a whole hour before purchasing, so, i'm guessing she did have a sneaky suspicion they were the real deal. Coupled with the fact the stall holder may have dropped more than enough hints in that period of time for her to be convinced they were genuine Banksy's.

Lady who bought cheap Banksy in NY for sale at 200,000NZ$, by fattyramone on Feb 20, 2014 3:47:30 GMT 1, They must have had a good hunch really , or a sly nod and a wink?? .....$60 once they were confirmed as genuine was of course the sale of the century , but $60 for what was proporting to be a knockoff was expensive don't you think?
These things as reproduction knockoffs are anywhere and everywhere for £10-£15 ($25-$30) , why would you choose to spend 2x$60 =$120 , and in the case of the guy who bought 4 of them for $240 when they could have bought similar for less than half of what they paid.

Did I miss something?

Im sure if they knew they were Banksys they would have bought the lot.
It wasnt Banksy at the stall either.

No nod and no wink, they had no idea they were buying authentic Banksys, they were not given info at point of sale, it wasnt a set up, just a stunt for the BOTI circus, and a good one IMO.

Lady who bought cheap Banksy in NY for sale at 200,000NZ$, by naughtyshorty on Feb 20, 2014 13:27:18 GMT 1, The buyer walked past there every day and knew of banksy so worked out there was something going on. She did have a hunch, but like others, I'm surprised she didn't buy more and I'm not sure her story washes with me...

No I agree , it was a great stunt , albeit one I had predicted 4 days prior to it happening (and won $75 for doing so too) ...
Its just at $60 each FOR WHAT THEY WERE PROPORTING TO BE was expensive for "knockoffs" ...the guy that bought 4 spent $240 ....thats not an inconsiderable sum , certainly not pocket money , for items that he could have picked up elsewhere for $100-$120??
Of course once they were exposed as the genuine article then it was the bargain of a life time , but why would anybody spend $240 on an item(s) that he could picked up anywhere else for less than half that? ...unless the hunch was strong?
