With 1 day to go, the eBay auction for a piece of paper with Banksy’s alleged “true” name reached $999,999 and just got pulled this morning. There were seven bidders with entirely too much faith in a vague reference to tax records and entirely too much money to invest into satisfying their curiosity. Or… this was all a prank. Ha. Ha ha.
Screengrab of the auction before it was pulled:
It has to be a prank, probably another great marketing idea from his camp.
deff a prank, 999,9999 why not hit the buy it now for 25,000
I didn't see a 'buy it now' option.
There was a "Buy It Now" for $25k when the auction first started, before there were any other bids.
I watched that Exit thru the gift shop the other week and about halfway thru Banksy appeared before me as Borat and I'm still laffin' at the absolute comic genius. boyakasha!
hahah free shipping!
