Sleazebay- Banksy's Charlie Brown Scammed on Both Ends
The ebay listing purporting to sell Banksy's Charlie Brown Firestarter ended and the final bid went for $8,100.
We posted last night how the listing seemed very suspicious, and was most likely a scam.
Well, turnaround is fairplay and it looks like the scamming seller might have been scammed. Click the jump for more
The winning bidder had only 2 feedbacks with a 0% feedback rating, which means that the only feedback the buyer has gotten has been negative.
It could have been an attempt at a shill bid, something that will drive the price higher. Or it could just be a deadbeat buyer.
Either way, it does not appear that the dishonest ebay seller will be getting paid.

That's unfortunate, I'd rather have seen the seller brought up to eBay, banned & charges filed.
