Banksy Original ยฃ6k on ebay, by Artfan13 on Sept 18, 2017 13:35:08 GMT 1, Brilliant just seen a new Banksy list on ebay.
Some guy claims the paint on the new banksy ferris wheel was still wet when he saw it and so took an impression of it on a newspaper he had to hand and has now listed it on ebay for ยฃ6k! Some people are just so resourceful!
I know no ebay links but hoping this is okay to post as I had to share.

Banksy Original ยฃ6k on ebay, by Rouen Cathedral on Sept 18, 2017 14:17:45 GMT 1, Why does everyone knock this?
This is actually pretty cool. I mean I understand knocking the price but if you are a true fan of banksy this would be a cool item. Yes the price is ridiculous and it probably isn't worth more then a couple hundred bucks. But the worth of something like this shouldn't be monetary.
This is only useless in the sense of monetary value. In the sense of artistic value this is incredible.

Banksy Original ยฃ6k on ebay, by kaos on Sept 18, 2017 14:31:22 GMT 1, I was there when he did this. He was asking everyone if they had a piece of blank paper and then he grabbed the newspaper off a photographer I believe.
Value, I'm not sure it's worth anything - let's put it this way it's not worth anything to me.

I would agree if he wasn't asking 6k on eBay for it!

He was pissed off and went looking for coloured paper from the car park attendant.
Came back empty handed and took the newspaper from the photographer.

Yes the price is crazy.
But money aside any true banksy fan saying this is dumb (once again put the price and money aside) would make me question whether they actually are a true banksy fan.

Let me know if anyone is passing by!

Ha you are going to start a trend... just follow massive attack concerts and be ready.

Would have been better just to start eBay at 0.99 and let it roll.
But good luck to him.
Note to self : Always bring 5 colourways of paper with you.

Banksy Original ยฃ6k on ebay, by Rouen Cathedral on Sept 18, 2017 17:39:58 GMT 1, Is this guy on the forum? He just put on up for ยฃ1
He better clear up how many he has. His auction shows one available and his photos show one being made.
I'm assuming he only has one but is trying to run it as an auction as well?

Blimey really? Fake or real, it's rubbish surely?
If you genuinely like it why not pop down tomorrow, repaint the outline and do another one??

The only person it's not rubbish to is him. For him it's a great talking point - I'd be proud to have it on my wall if I'd been hot on the heels of the actual work. It's a crap story to say I bought this off eBay though

Well if I painted it then it wouldn't be the same thing.
If I could have done it like this guy I would. If anyone wants to do it for me please do!
