Yesterday we posted a link to an ebay listing purporting to sell Banksy's Charlie Brown.
The bidding has jumped to over $5,000, and we just wanted to inform the readers that we believe this piece is a scam.
We warned at the time that it seemed sketchy since there were no original pics in the listing, and the description is deceptively vague as it gets calling the piece for sale 'a chunk of concrete with a stenciled art piece on it'.
Hopefully there is still time to cancel bids, but buyer beware!
thanks, what would i have done if i hadnt read this. man you just saved my ass. few
ReplyDeleteThis seriously can't be the first piece of banksy's that was stolen from the streets and sold? Does anyone know if this has happened before?
