Ebay - 30% of art fake?, by jonnyas on Feb 6, 2008 21:39:14 GMT 1, Hi
Somebody in a gallery told me that 30% of the art sold on ebay is fake - obviously I'm not going to take an art dealer's word for it but is there any way of telling if you're buying a real piece? Is it true that 30% of the art is fake? I'm looking to buy a Banksy stop and search and maybe some others but am obviously quite wary!

when looking to buy a banksy stop and search you should look to confirm the number and name of the owner of the print with dora at pow. there will also be a heavy weaponary blind stamp on the print. which if you dont know, is the image of the elephant with a missle on its back. this should be more than enough. cheers

Ebay - 30% of art fake?, by GD303uk on Feb 6, 2008 22:31:01 GMT 1, there all fake dont buy , 
what was the ebay item number again,
i am after a Stop and search might buy it myself save anybody getting ripped off
you know, out of the goodnes of my heart, an all.
pay no attention to galleries, they cant compete with cheap ebay prices so need to make the most of buyer confidance in their shops, by sayin all is dodgy they mean all we sell is legit'
you can trust us not a chancer on Evilbay.
even if they are correct, that would still mean 70% of the art sold on ebay is cheaper than the galleries,
edit; 
i am not talking about the great galleries and print house found on here, i am talking about the private places where they ask ยฃ1500 for a vasarely, etc( if that makes sense) i went to bed a before i drifted off realised i could be seen having ago at some of the galleries that support this art we collect, this wasnt my intention, there are loads of great Galleries doing a great job, with good people helping the artists and collectors.
be carefull ask advice buy of reputable seller and check prov, although gems can be found off unkown sellers with no prov.
keep your eyes peeled
and follow what Slammer said,
good luck

65% of anything on Ebay you find under the search of 'Banksy' is probably home-made?

Were they involved in the swindle?
They said it was one/ a few of their employees.
So why no arrests?
Methinks they were...............
