Banksy Fakes Listed on the Forum, by Heavyconsumer on May 13, 2009 0:39:02 GMT 1, There are very few Banksy "bargains" on ebay, where the seller is reputable and everything is in order imo. And I don't think that your ability to spot a bargain is the issue at hand G!
I totally agree the ebay ad's are unpleasant and unneeded from a forumite perspective. I have no idea whether they may make a difference financially to Silky and the running of this place though. If it's the case that he would suffer, I don't find it unbearable in anyway, although it's extremely distasteful that fakes and items with forged sig's should be promoted in a place that is supposed to support the artist and buyers being defrauded in this instance.
Personally I never pay attention to ANY ebay ads unless I'm specifically in Ebay looking, so as I say, I could live with the ads per say, except for knowing that members could be defrauded for clicking on them.

How many people just joining the forum could be suckered into thinking these are the real deal?

Banksy Fakes Listed on the Forum, by alsbabar on May 13, 2009 9:55:03 GMT 1, this isnt about the merits of paid or non paid links to ebay - my post is to raise a concern that at the top of the page 3 fake banksy items appear on this site that are listed on ebay. As Buffin rightly states, anyone could be mislead in to believing they are real, when they are not, plus I dont believe they need promoting on this site

Banksy Fakes Listed on the Forum, by G-Man on May 13, 2009 10:17:57 GMT 1, Its all about the money i guess Silky, I think this was discussed when it first appeared?
I agree about the fakes though it appears that the ads are supported by the forum to new members perhaps who could be ripped off
Perhaps another annoying money making banner instead that doesn't have anything to do with Ebay??

Banksy Fakes Listed on the Forum, by Daniel Silk on May 13, 2009 12:03:49 GMT 1, No problem ;D
As you can see I do try to weed out as much of the crap as I can, but then also leave a few bits from time to time that I think will interest people. Not that I expect anyone to bid on them, its just you get some very strange pieces turn up such as that Taxi.
Please PM me if you have anymore problems
