FAKE EBAY FAKE, by Lewis Bannister on Mar 18, 2008 15:58:26 GMT 1, Well he said no way is that his or B's stencils they are all wrong (probably meaning where the gaps are) and he knows his own stuff surely .... But 100% he told me these are Fake shit !!
Me myself thought these wore quite nice (actually only the yellow Banksy sign) but i had to ask D* and now i know ..

FAKE EBAY FAKE, by Harveyn on Mar 18, 2008 16:34:15 GMT 1, The yellow diversion sign looks good. No idea whether its real or not and unfortunately no way of telling.
One question. One of the No Entry signs only has stickers so its a pretty elaborate attempt to sell a fake Banksy.
Edit: Actually on second glance there is a Dface stencil on each so if both of those are fakes then that puts the Banksy piece into question. Unless off course they were faked on the street. Anyway impossible to prove on the Banksy piece so little point in debating.

FAKE EBAY FAKE, by Happy Shopper on Mar 18, 2008 17:30:04 GMT 1, The "keep left" sign the guys selling in another auction definately looks fake.
Wouldn't the arrow be angled downwards, and therfore the rat wouldn't have been straight !?? Also, the rat looks too small for the sign.
Have to say though, the Diversion Never Ends sign looks good !!

Exhibit A: "Get Dface to post response then i will believe you, till then I am bidding and I WILL succeed.."

Exhibit B: "i dont buy street pieces, simply because they belong to the street, and without provenance, it aint worth jack s**t to me"

FAKE EBAY FAKE, by slowmo on Mar 18, 2008 18:02:33 GMT 1, In theory, if I go and rip a street sign off of somewhere and apply the official stickers I have of Banksy, Faile, Lucy McLauchlan and Hutch, would that then be worth money?
What a ridiculous thing to want to own.

FAKE EBAY FAKE, by Avian Security on Mar 18, 2008 18:08:39 GMT 1, Compare the rat on the sign to the one on p.82 of Wall and Piece. Many, many problems with it. Spraying technique is not Banksy's, cutting lines are not Banksy's, text style is not Banksy's. Fake fake fake.
He also said he got the signs from London, but the stickers on them are by Brighton artists.

This is sadly true. I complained once about a listing that was fake and they said I had to go to the police with my evidence and then the police would have to contact ebay

FAKE EBAY FAKE, by qprfc1967 on Mar 19, 2008 18:41:59 GMT 1, whilst enquiring about my piece i was given some great advice from people on this site and others in the know . one of the ways to spot these fakes is to ask the size of the rats , then compare to originals still intact on the street , copies will be slightly smaller . also ( as someone alse has said ) the positioning is important . i have spoken to umpteen different people , galleries , photographers and genuine banksy collectors and not one can say 100% one way or another if mine is genuine only one person can . so whether theyre 99% or 10% genuine its up to the buyer to decide and if someone wants to pay for something they beleive to be good then let them , all we can do is advise people and pass on what knowledge we know so genuine collectors dont buy rubbish
