The general public seems to be doing it for them. Here you are.. if you pay for removal and a fat lump of cash you can have this wall.. who the monkeys (which will one day be in charge!) buys a wall on e-bay!

So true! The only place where their art may hang around for a longer period of time

As it is, perfectly good buildings are being pulled down and rebuilt because someone painted on them.
Soon buildings will be built for entire other buildings to be hung up and displayed in. This could be huge. Banksy causing a general boom in the economy. Well done Banksy.

I just think any buyer is naive in this purchase, as there are so many complicating factors involved, and any slight miscommunication could result in a huge loss.

In any case, why deface it? Someone owns the building and it is their's to do as they wish. If they want to sell it, good luck to them.
If you want to hang your banksy print in your lounge, good for you. If you want to donate it to your local library, equally good luck. If you want to donate it to a museum, good luck still. If you want to sell it and buy a rolex or give the money away to charity, good luck.
