Charity stars Auction, by Horatio Nelson on Jan 4, 2023 19:16:35 GMT 1, The site is legit, but some of the items are curious to put it kindly. e.g. this Hirst Mickey (blue) in an edition of 350 looks like a print of a print by an unofficial third party; can't find any info about the edition elsewhere online: www.charitystars.com/product/mickey-blue-glitter-lithograph-signed-by-damien-hirst That said, the price reflects this.

Charity stars Auction, by Pete the Post on Jan 5, 2023 9:55:42 GMT 1, Wow, an auction filled with fakes for charity! I wonder if the charities even know this exists, let alone its full of fakes.
Amazing anyone would bid on any of their lots considering how immediately dodgy AF it all looks.

Charity stars Auction, by cemltz on Jan 5, 2023 13:54:11 GMT 1, Certainly alarm bells set off by the carefully used language: a lot of "attributed" and "after" and titled as "signed" but detailed in listing as "stone signed"...probably not outright fraud, but certainly purposefully misleading to attract folks who may not be aware. Thankfully most of the prices reflect this.
I honestly don't know how Andy Warhol's signature on random items from unknown sources can be worth anything at this point...

Charity stars Auction, by trapnel1 on Jan 5, 2023 16:37:42 GMT 1, And most items appear to be donating only 5% to the listed charities (and it looks as if they probably pay for the privilege...)

Charity stars Auction, by The Italian One on Jan 5, 2023 17:27:02 GMT 1, nothing about this auction look good to me!
plenty of auction house selling fake Banksy specially in Italy/europe,
the bad thing is that people are not aware of "pest control" and COA so too many ends up buying fake.
seems nobody can do nothing to stop them.
