‘Banksy’s Identity’ eBay Auction Pulled After Hitting $999,999

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:

    There was a "Buy It Now" for $25k when the auction first started, before there were any other bids.

  7. Hello, I want to congratulate the author for the really valuable information, I actually was searching for some article like this one. I’m so happy that i found it. Next I suggest that your website needs to be reworked a little bit more on its layout. Sincerly Joe.
