Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by Graham H on Feb 9, 2021 11:31:10 GMT 1, These Petrol Bomb threads really make me shake my head.. Im not sure if we will ever know just how big this full sh*t show really is.. and how many people are seriously out of pocket.
Stands to reason that this wont be the only example of this happening in the future with so many authorised / non COA'd prints and items now worth so much money we will no doubt see runs of other images and items fololowing a similar fake pattern im sure.. especially with so many newer people trying to buy into the Banksy gravy train
The most interesting thing with all these fakes that have been sold is how much money people are out of pocket with regards to current values. Its like buying a fake Bitcoin for $20k, giving it back and its now worth $47k. Wouldn't sit right with me. Yep, I also expect most of the buyers of these fakes have been left with a bad taste in their mouth and wouldn't bother seeking a genuine one now, as it will just be a reminder.

Not taking away from people that are out of pocket and going through the stress and financial loss of getting duped, but this is also frustrating for people who own genuine posters.

Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by Ruskr on Feb 9, 2021 11:41:18 GMT 1, Hello Guys,
as you might know ive bought a fake Petrol bomb and did not find a Solution with the Seller. Ive bought it on the 16th of November for around 0.53 BTC - (today about 25k USD) Just asked to return 3200 GBP in a irreversible Way.
So I decided to take it to my Poolhouse Basement and destroy it.
(Just that the seller is not coming up with a wrong Idea, I don't want to threaten or scare him with a Gun)
After destroying the Fake I will let it go and forget.
Video will follow - just choose the caliber I should use.

I would love to shoot a bigger caliber, but my home shooting range is not licensed for it.

Yep, don't shoot it, petrol bomb is the only way to go. Or hand grenade? Are hand grenades legal to own in the US nowadays? ๐

Yes it is, but the initial thoughts of Banksy were to give/sell this to People which can't afford something else or at least people which genuinely enjoy his art. Thats also why they don't do any COA on all this stuff. So we should probably just start to accept Banksy will?

Blimey, not sure if the font size and boldness was because I hit a nerve, no intention there at all. I was merely highlighting how fakes damage the marketplace for genuine pieces. Also, you raise a point that goes alongside mine. It could be considered that If, for arguments sake; the initial โwillโ was for people who may not have the opportunity to afford higher value pieces and to have access to Banksy work at a lower price point then the opportunity to โflipโ and make a good profit should be supported as the higher value may be a significant sum for this customer base. (Personally, I actually donโt think the reason these were made available was for that though. I genuinely think it was to mass produce a poster to raise awareness and provide a charitable contribution to a good cause at the time).
