After the chunk of wall was removed, it was only a matter of time until Banksy's Charlie Brown stencil showed up on Ebay. But who knew it would be so quick?
Although it never mentions Banksy's name, ebay item number 250775628024is reportedly selling the Charlie Brown piece of the wall.
We are not sure if this is legit or not. A good rule of thumb is to be wary of items for sale on ebay that do not have an original picture, and the picture used is of the removal where there was a crowd of people taking pictures (in fact, it seems to be the picture that we posted earlier on the blog!). It would have a lot more credibility if there were more pics of the actual chunk after being removed.
Still, there will be bids on this. Wonder how much it will go for? . . .
$3 million cash. or however much it costs to fix a shit building that smells like piss.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fake ebay account. Why would they post a pic of the painting that was taken by a random person of the people stealing it????

ReplyDeleteIn that you tube video, the guy in red was the guy guarding it!!! The white guy in black in the group near the end was meeting with people in front of it trying to what apperaed to be making a deal with some hipsters that came to meet with him.
ReplyDeleteFAKE ebay!!
ReplyDeletethe guys who took it down are not the keepers of it either... they were told to take it i'm sure by the owner/property mgmnt of the bldg after they caught wind of what it's really worth ;-)
It's only at $685 bucks? For a Banksy... either these guys are complete fucking idiots or this is a fake.
