Wow! That's fuckin dumb. Oh wait...only $25,000, nevermind..

Banksy had his identity revealed back in 2008 in my Mums newspaper.

It's more fun and more meaningful not knowing.

huge waste of money right there...

Damn. Don't you know not to post pending auctions? Now everyone has seen it and the bidding will go through the roof!
Dammit.

I cant believe people are seriously bidding on this.

Seeing as he can't actually prove the name he has is Banksy it's also fraud. Nevermind the "tax records" angle would be illegal.

That's my "They let us know too much about Boba Fett" argument too.

word blood. word.

sorry to be late to the party, but....me too on Boba.

That's not banksy in that article. I've seen him and that's not him.

Dude sells Xylophones, cymbols and bunch of random crap . . . then comes up with this gem!

I have a piece of paper with the address that Tupac and Elvis are livin' large . . . a snip for $10k!

Although all you get is that piece of paper with the address on it and zero proof!

PM's welcome!

I seriously cant believe people are actually bidding on this. What do they think they are going to do with it anyway? And is the bay gonna let it go down this time...? It would be so awesome if they accidentally spilled coffee or something on their mail before they open it.

ill trade you an unpainted GID 2 headed Bemon for that pub napkin,..i mean piece of paper with Tupac and Elvis's address.

deal??

If he actually gets money from this, he's a genius. He can't be proved wrong. I wish I thought of this.

I'm sure whoever gets it is someone who thinks they can cash in by selling it to a news publication or something.

would be funny to see banksy revealed publicly immediately after the auction

this is one of the stupid factors in this whole thing.
people are always trying to ruin things, gives them a sense of temporary power.
it's like whenever i have to work during a vikings football game and i tape the shit and tell people around me not to say anything about the game until after i get a chance to watch it. they can't help themselves. it's like it makes them want to tell me even more. bursting bubbles and shit. if bansky's identity is revealed (granted, in the 1% chance this is a legit thing auctioned off here), how will that effect his artwork?

Now at $999,999!

All you have to do is go to the Torquay graffiti lighthouse festival they do every year, that's when he did the piece I have photos of. Anyway he's overrated it's just for rich art collectors now and the fact they can say there hot shit because they own a banksy piece. Do you think they would ever put plexi glass on a big piece done by another graffiti artist? and the people buying this identity if there is proof it's him they know they could destroy him as an artist and he would probably be charged with a stupid amount of vandalism charges

maybe this is a prank by banksy?

I was gonna' say…!

I'll tell who Knewnan is for $.73

theres like 5 auctions now

i gotta say i believe its funny other folks decided to try and come in and get in on the $$$ as well..

i cant decide which one is better.

the auction of the same info as the $999,999 one
stating everything the same... excepting adding this
"The winner of this auction is the only person I will ever share this information with. The piece of paper will say his name, nothing more.

Selling the second copy."


or...

a guy posting the "identity"

and then having this pic

with this description
"The Identity of "Banksy" on orange paper, purple ink."
LOL

just one more dollar! I'm tempted to do it, just to see it hit a mil
