Fake Bast pieces on Ebay, by valentina on Mar 9, 2016 16:51:03 GMT 1, Confirmed they were fake, right? Saw these yesterday - what shit. That signature on the street piece is garbage; can't believe it has 13 bids. What a shame.

Fake Bast pieces on Ebay, by Howard Johnson on Mar 9, 2016 21:43:45 GMT 1, Thank you for posting this, I was going to bid on one but had suspicions of my own. Sad to see a Southern California seller passing off fakes.

Fake Bast pieces on Ebay, by jusdeep on Mar 10, 2016 9:12:12 GMT 1, It appears the 'slut rider' piece is likely to be by Dr Bastard and not Bast. Strangely there are connections between the two, although I won't go into that here.
I have been in conversation with both sellers, although neither as yet have amended accordingly or cancelled their auctions.
The seller of the street piece has been informed the artist has accredited the work as a fake but seems to be selling it on behalf of a collector. Could just be a case of not knowing/checking facts before purchasing or buying in good faith. Just another cautionary tale for checking provenance before buying.

I remember the one and only time he answered an inquiry I submitted via his website (one of too many to count). I had asked about the availability of a funny A-Rod themed one-off on his Instagram feed. He replied something to the effect of "sorry man, better luck next time". I couldn't believe he wrote back. I was on the moon for days.

Fake Bast pieces on Ebay, by tinmans on Mar 11, 2016 20:43:28 GMT 1, Yeah I almost bit the baited hook on the street piece. He claimed that he bought it from "hang up" online gallery. He was going to sell it to me for $300. Said both past bidders were not real bidders. Surprised ebay let this fly I thought they monitor messages between clients and I'm sure others have backed out. Ebay should be aware of him as others have previously backed out I'm sure but am I putting too much faith in fleabay? The signature was trash.

Fake Bast pieces on Ebay, by jusdeep on Mar 11, 2016 23:25:46 GMT 1, To be fair on Paul, although he doesn't have the best of track records he did remove the listing. The piece was listed incorrectly, but ultimately he should have done his homework beforehand.
The street piece from the American seller is another matter and is the one that should be concentrated on here. I can't believe eBay don't seem to do anything nowadays when you report a listing.
