If you are buying on eBay. Avoid sellers from Spain. They have tubes that look correct but they aren't real. I got stung last year.

This is who i brought from, despite telling Ebay they are still are letting him sell the endless supply he seems to have:

Hell no I would never buy a banksy from eBay, just soooo many fakes. I’ve seen them adverts from Spain, absolute jokes. I usually buy from galleries if I can and from sources that I can trust.

I wouldn’t buy nothing from eBay with regards to banksy, wayyyyy too many fakes about. I have all documentation and legit information from war boutique on what I’m selling. I’m not listing no fakes or knockoffs. I always source my art which I collect from the best sources and galleries.

loads of legit banksy items for sale on ebay from reliable sellers / sources. If you are only buying from that you consider the best sources and galleries then Im sure theyll only sell you a legit soup cans poster……

Hello ladies and gents, I’ve been after a soup can piece by banksy for some time to add to the collection. I’ve been using the ‘search’ a lot and reading a few things about the tubes (if they have one) and what to look for on them.

Is there any real way of Spotting a fake on the artwork itself? I’ve seen a few pop up forsale and just a little concerned as I don’t want to be mugged off and viewing is possible also but what to look for?

All the best and thanks in advance for any knowledgable feedback

Seems to be an endless supply from a seller in Spain on eBay. I am surprised no one has reported them. I think they are selling other fake Banksy tat.

That’s true for sure but 2 have come up on here at a tempting price, the thread was made to show if a fake can be easily spotted, so if I went to view in person what would I look out for. You get me?

buy the seller and only then consider what they are selling, if you have doubts that they are not as reliable as your goto galleries and sources then walk away. There is a thread on here containing pics and things to look out for on the soup cans poster, from memory the colours can be different, the location, size and printing of the name Banksy is different and its more chance of being legit if it has faded edges throughout. Most if not all of those sold in the POW clearout a few years back have faded edges. Search out the thread and you will get the info you need.

[Rob Mitchell Art]

Yeah it’s finding that thread which I had not much luck finding lol hence me trying this one. I’ll have another browse and search later on. A lot of the ones I found was mainly to do with the tube packaging and markings

Can't help you spot fakes, but if you have very deep pockets then Laz is selling one here that I assume is genuine lazemporium.com/products/soup-cans-unsigned

[iamzero]

I have some from the POW closing sale in the flat file. If you get some detailed pictures I’m happy to share the matching areas from mine if that would help.

[Matt 2 ttaM]

Soup Cans is toast, the Spain seller is a dead give away to avoid but he’s sold so many that they’ve circled back onto eBay. Galleries are not any better.

[Lroy]

Open it slowly, put a finger, mix it and taste it !

[Rob Mitchell Art]

Does anyone know if the ‘banksy’ marking is done using a stamp or are all the prints exact? I’ve seen some prints with perfect banksy and some with little imperfections in the branding

[mark1]

Depends on how fake it is.. sorry couldn’t help myself

It's a part of the print. The genuine ones have imperfections, but that's not to say if it has imperfections it's genuine.
There is a seller on ebay that states they have a few from original release and the closing down, but these are 100% fake. 
This is a genuine one

[Rob Mitchell Art]

Is that the seller with a buy it now £750 or starting bid £100? I’m watching them ones as I’m interested.

I’m watching not buying. Intrigued. What’s your problem?

Yep, with a good get out clause as well, as they weren't purchased direct.

[Terry Fuckwitt]

Put a wanted post on here and buy from a trusted member.

[samfrost]

Some good advice on this thread. Never buy from a seller in Spain.

My view was to buy from someone who purchased direct from POW and had an original tube and postmark that lined up with closing of POW. Nothing is guaranteed, but vetting the seller background and small details are the best that you can get for authenticity purposes.

[atomone]

Might be worth adding a pic or 2 to your post…most of us are visual people and will save you a lot of DM’s asking for pics and hopefully get you a better response than having to bump 👍

[leroy77]

There are definitely fakes bouncing about now with all kinds of stories around investment and sob stories of having to let them go, thankfully returns policies on sh*tbay are still in place

I've been passed a receipt copy as being the 'previous owner' with the name Steven J Smith based in Birmingham if anyone knows or is this person,

The seller was most definitely not Steven,

Still hope to score one for my collection, 4 years ago took a punt on 'Petrol Bomb' over Soup Cans, whilst I love the protest pieces I do have FOMO and wish I had one tucked away if anybody is thinking of selling?

[Sundowner]

If anyone is looking for one of these I have a spare purchased from POW during the closing down sale with genuine proof of purchase. PM me if interested.
