These are my sentiments too, I imagine team B are fuming, the only thing I can assume is as Laz could easily drop irrefutable evidence of B’s identity the team are stuck in a corner. 

Stuff he's just bought off ebay.

I’ve only watched it once but Is there not a section on the video where he says there were various emails going back and forth to I presume PC offering the stuff as it was the only documentation of his early years photography wise?

2nd edit: trainers and Peckham rock are among some of the weird items indeed. 

I wonder if Steve has any sweet messages like this from Banksy 😁

But just an example of how other people are also selling private messages from celebrities at auction.

What a load of tat… I mean I was sure nobody was going to bid on any of this so was surprised to check and see so many bids. Nothing with any type of COA and will very very unlikely get one from pest control. A shameless money grab from what looks like a very broken down relationship.

Does Banksy make money from the art market with secret shows for VIPs??…. Absolutely but at least he tries his best to keep it to those who have proven they deserve the works. This is just selling any old piece of paper to raise a few dollars to people that don’t know any better. They are buying a story and not artwork.

Julian’s sold pieces stolen off walls by Invader one month and this another. Very sad to see.

Well, I just come back from Laz’sales and I’m not convinced at all about this sale. Not impressed.

It’s like a flea market, we can find everything for all tastes and wallets: posters, flyers, cd (ahah), prints, stickers, etc etc… It’s not the sale of the century, from far, just a guy wanted to make interest, and (why not) making fructifying his bizness.
What is important, it will be the reaction about this great paint ‘n roll swindle :
Will it give repercussions ( impacting) on Banksy ‘s artworks or value ( increase or big plouf /splash ? ) ?
It won’t be anyway the world’s end, this world has other preoccupations, Banksy too, and us too.


POW’s ending was more important.
Lazarides will stay as a common owner of a gallery, not “ the man who made the rise, hype or/and the fall of Banksy, kind of stepfather of street-art.
He is just lucky to have a fortunate clientele, but I think even if he does not care, that this guy is sad, and in lack of success.
Happy holidays in the sun, sir

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is what Steve thinks of banksy these days: boring. Maybe that is why he sells the lot (under duress). Hope he finds some new interests, as does banksy. Not that I think I’m boring but it must be so boring to ‘copy’ things (maybe read nick there).

I believe his motivation for selling is much more basics than that : pay the hefty bills for his newly refurbished swanky house (maybe you've missed everything that was posted before on that topics) ;-)

Must have missed that bit. Thanks for making me aware. Are you saying Steve’s the kind of man who buys before he has the money? What an odd way to live, and bad example to the kids, if so.

Just speculation, but Charming Baker perhaps?
