how can we sort people like these faksters out! They are just conning people who want to get into the banksy market at low price. I don't think it is fair to say people should do their research, because these idiots are con men. No worse than all the rest of the people who try phone scams etc. They need sorting out with baseball bats and the like.

Banksy's on eBay โข Real or Fake?, by Daniel Silk on Jun 6, 2022 16:49:52 GMT 1, Has Banksy become the most Faked Artist in the World? ๐ง
With his huge popularity Worldwide, yet now serious official releases for years, the demand has grow so crazy that the number of fakes in the marketplace is incredible! Plus most come with Fake COA ๐
Does any other artist have a greater number of fakes in circulation?

We just cannot get allow ourselves to get sucked in to this fraudster. Something must be done to stop unsuspecting collectors being manipulated. Don't ever buy Banksy prints really cheaply, they probably won't be real.

I believe that there is nothing more to do for these buyers! If these guys are not able to do a little research before buying and to show a minimum of common sense... They will wake up with a hangover and it will only be deserved

Banksy's on eBay โข Real or Fake?, by kdrlly on Oct 17, 2022 7:13:25 GMT 1, Current bid ยฃ1500!! Surely the description is fraudulent. Sold as Genuine.
โTitle: Pair of Original Banksy Artwork
Description: 7533 - Pair of Banksy Dismaland aerosol and stencil on cardboard bears the mention "BANKSY IS DISMAL" with a stamp from Dismaland. Image size both approx 30x20cm (two police and girl with balloon) supplied with a copy of the entry ticket and Dismaland colour brochure. Framed and glassed on both sides, you can view each piece's reverse. Dismaland was a temporary art project that took place during the months of August and September 2015, taking the form of an amusement park. Created by English artist Banksy, it is located in the seaside resort of Weston super-Mare, England, on the site of a former recreation area. These boxes were strewn in the park, and visitors finding them could leave with them from a Dismaland collector. W: 46cm H: 54cm D: 2cm An incredible opportunity to secure some rare original art and limited edition printsโ

Banksy's on eBay โข Real or Fake?, by reeder77 on Feb 4, 2023 2:30:57 GMT 1, Bought this at a garage sale in Philadelphia. Signature looked great and the paper is just incredibly thin and almost hand woven. Just didnโt seem like the paper one would use for a forgery. And the date added to the signature seemed a bit odd for a forger as well. Pics attached. Anyone have a thought on this? Best find imaginable or waste or money?
if anyone would know, itโs the folks on here.
thanks in advance!

They got the B and the A and half the N down, but connecting the trailing half of the N to the K and S smoothly is the key challenge. They pretty much blew it there.
Sorry.

But in fairness, if anyone will know, its pest control. This place has been wrong about this before, when the "defo fake" canvas went to PC it was real.

The stencil which was picked up at liveauctioneers is something altogether very different.

Hang-up have a fairly concise list of his editions for future reference (although I believe a couple of obscure and small editions are missing, this not being one).

Didnt spot the one above even had an edition number, that does make it very doubtful to say the least. Wasnt that convinced, but still think PC are better to ask.

Banksy's on eBay โข Real or Fake?, by cemltz on Feb 4, 2023 14:30:11 GMT 1, You will see I made no comments on the art itself. Given what was going on back in the day, I can assure us all that we have no idea what these guys may or may not have made. There are some pretty sketchy and low โqualityโ real works out there. That is why they donโt authenticated street art and ephemera.
And there are also botched signatures - missed letters, erased and resigned - with full PC authentication.
But this is different, and folks who look at signatures will notice it immediately. Easiest way to think about it is that this sig was written slowly: the only way to get some of those kinks in the middle of lines and perfect stroke ends is to move the pencil slowly. Which is not how people sign things. Definitely not the folks that Banksy had sign for him.
Let that be a lesson kids: if you are going to forge a signature, a poor version done quickly and smoothly will always be better than a good version done slowly.

Just seems like an odd image size and paper choice to create a fake. But the edition numbers on it imply many out there. So pest control will either know if it or wonโt. The date in the signature is 05. So would be a long time ago. So that puts it pre LA 06 show if real.
