Yeah I clocked that one this morning. I especially liked this bit:
"if buyer finds out its proper-then maybe would give me some money back--never know"

These get better -  cant upload picture, someone beginning with B, could be 'Banksy' but cant make out signature, will post out quickly to you (esp if you BIN I bet!)
... a sig beginning with 'B' - Bollocks more like. ;D

How can people still fall for this kind of thing? It´s definately fake, as
all the original Banksy street signs sold on ebay the last ten years.
Oh and look at his feedback, he sold another "original" Banksy street piece with the same stencil.

hold on a sec, are you sure you might not be adding it to a 'fake' thread rather too easily? maybe the seller is merely be a newbie and not a very accurate person?
I have NO connection at all to the buyer, but if you look at the photo it actually looks like 201 / 750, which would be feasible, given it was an edition of 750 (150 signed / 600 unsigned). I believe most signed ones were numbered out of 150, and unsigned out of 600 (my unsigned ones certainly were) so being numbered out of 750 could potentially be weird. However it's not clear evidence of fakery - I have had mis numbered prints from POW before.
The sig looks ok, and '04' tallies. It also has the right era POW stamp.
I'm not saying this is genuine, but I'm a bit surprised at how someone's listing could be so easily be picked up and splashed around like this.

Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by xmyart on Aug 4, 2012 0:51:15 GMT 1, In fairness anything of that value on a zero feedback ebay account is suspicious altogether.
You do make a fair point, but without any intended offence, your bloody unlikely to be right.
My guess is WCP is printed behind that lovely "professional" frame.

Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by craigf on Aug 4, 2012 7:10:44 GMT 1, Yeah, I called it out on a thread called fake Banksy's and by association that's the inference, but the reason for making the point is to make sure no one who is on here buys without their eyes wide open. I've asked the seller some questions and will let people know if they reply. The seller describes the print as being #1 not #201, it is very unlikely the seller has #1. Re misnumbering, yep lots of issues with numbers over the years, but no coa. Sig looks fine, but you can practice these things can't you. If I'm wrong I'll stick my hand up

Looks good to me but agree that the numbering is odd - I'm sure it would be numbered as 1/750 rather than 001/750.
If they are the original buyer then PC would sort the rest out!
I think the print looks genuine, the sig/blindstamp/paper etc all look right but the number is a definite query!
Good spot Craig!

Looks spot on, sig, date, stamp. Some were numbered from the total edition of 750. This looks like the seller has mistaken a 2 for a 0 is all. Number would be 201/750.

You do make a fair point, but without any intended offence, your bloody unlikely to be right. My guess is WCP is printed behind that lovely "professional" frame.
totally agree that most people would be stupid to buy and item of such alleged value from someone with 0 feedback. I have worked hard over 8 years to get 100% feedback from over 1700 transactions. I would be pretty miffed if someone comes along and can sell a print like that at top dollar with minimal effort and nil feedback.
What exactly might I be wrong about then? I never said it was genuine, I merely gave a very professional opinion as a VERY experienced collector and buyer from POW on what I can see on ebay, namely that the sig, the 04 and the earlier version of the POW BS tally up. I questioned the numbering out of 750, but it is clear it is not numbered 001 - the photo shows it to be numbered 201 from 750, which everyone else seems to be ignoring. If I was selling such a print I would not make such a basic error, but there is no accounting for how little accuracy most of society have these days.
of course most of that can be faked (the print, the numbering, and the sig), or it could be stolen photos, it could be a stolen print, or it could be just a total chancer. It could be anything, but to call it a fraud without giving the evidence of what the photos show is surely unfair and anyhting clearly fraudulent is a matter for ebay. By the by - the BS is unlikely to be easily faked.
just to be clear, I would not buy it on the photos and description we currently have before us, and I would not encourage anyone else to buy it at the moment, but if I was the seller I'd be surprised at how fast people are to ignore what they can see in front of their eyes.

Early prints weren't signed in succession, as a result 150 were signed in a fairly random order throughout the edition.
