Would they sell for $8k if it was legit?

No COA means don’t buy.

 
Especially from ebay haha

Considering he sold a couple of months ago an “Original Haring on canvas” for 3.500$, also without a valid COA... I’m afraid his sources are too cheap to be good, and too dark to have no COA...

The font and spacing on the blindstamp is all wrong. 

[PS]

I spotted this yesterday and asked for additional information.

Interesting that yesterday the listing had a 3rd picture of the blind stamp, which I screenshot and zoomed in. The number on this picture looks like 440 to me and the description 450 🚨 The photos you have are different again now saying 450. So obviously has more than one.

The blind stamp was also in a very strange position. Away from the edge and in toward the image. Definately dodgy.

There was another dodgy Love Rat up for auction in France a couple of months ago. Might be the same one?

There are variations of the stamps used
You can find them by comparing over the internet
I panicked when I first bought my Banksy print as didn’t match what I saw on the internet 👀🙄😮😂

[LJCal]

That is fake as fuck, an unsigned love rat is £50k not £6k only a fraudster would sell for that. The print and ink is wrong, blind stamp spacing is wrong, no COA, it’s a fugazi.

I’m not sure what you mean, but I think there has only been one of the different versions of blind stamps.

One POW printmaking, one pictures on walls dot com, one elephant, one circle. No variations.

Not to be pedantic, an error in the use of variations to your understanding .
Not many people are aware there are different stamps and only assume the POW stamp is the only one in existence which was the main point to highlight
But you were already aware of the different / variation of stamps 🙄

I thought you were suggesting that the fake blind stamp above on the fake Love Rat could be one of the variations.

Doesn't everyone know there were different blind stamps used during different periods.

To make clear not suggesting the print is genuine, just an input on the stamps but in the context of the topic of the thread can see may be misconstrued

One dodgy Bastard!

In his description:
BANKSY UNSIGNED BLOCKCHAIN NFT TOKENIZED ART ORIGINAL MINTED ETHERIUM NETWORK.


Due to the value, we can only accept Ethereum tokens to the current value of agreed sale.

This art will grow in value. An artist already sold one digital art work via the Ethereum blockchain for a whopping 69 million dollars via Sotheby’s auction house.


You must download an app called METAMASK to receive the digital tokenised art work which is imbedded on the Ethereum net work blockchain.


We own all 50 limited original unsigned Banksy Balloon girls.

Wouldn't buy any banksy from Spain, fakes coming out every month .

Never buy a tenner from eBay. It’s all crap

[jonnyb]

Can anyone throw some light on this? Someone is trying to sell it claiming it was from the Dismaland shop with a receipt.

maybe they have stretched a tshirt (that was for sale in the shop and came with a receipt) over a wooden frame. I dont recall seeing these for sale in the shop.

FAKE! Thread from 2018 with PC confirmation no such canvases were ever created.

urbanartassociation.com/thread/153790/dismaland-currency-canvas-all-fakes

I someone wants to scam £20,000, they are going to fake receipts as well.

[mark1]

Supposedly they were sold over the counter randomly if asked and made in house by staff there but who knows. I have one with the receipt and framed up that I bought a while back after the hype calmed down

I think someone spun you a lot of yarn. Pest Control confirmed these arent legit.

[jonnyb]

The seller says the same thing. Apparently only  available to " those in the know". Mmmmmmm.

[mark1]

The guy I bought it from had an insane Banksy collection and I won the auction for around £100 after he paid a lot more a year earlier, I knew it wasn’t personally made by banksy but most if not all of the items you can get aren’t either. Happily up on my wall still and a nice reminder of a great a show

[jonnyb]

Did you get it on eBay ? This seller reckons they have a genuine collection too. 

[mark1]

Yes mate, I went round this guys house to pick it up and he briefly showed me his collection which was amazing, the guy probably found out it was not real and was happy to sell for what ever he got for it but guess for him was worth the gamble at the time when he got it as if it was it was a bargain, think he paid around £500
