Well imagine the hundreds and thousands of people that walked past Banksy’s New York street stand, not realising they could buy his art – worth millions – for a few dollars. One woman even negotiated a 50% discount!

This, from CNN:

The famously anonymous British graffiti artist Banksy, whose work regularly commands six figures in art auctions, says he had a hard time moving his spray-painted canvases in New York’s Central Park.

Banksy, whose work began popping up on New York walls this month, posted a video on his website showing an elderly man — not the artist — working at a stall at the park Sunday. The selling price for each piece: $60.

The man sat, as people passed by the paintings with barely a glance.

According to the video, more than four hours passed before the first sale was made — to a customer who bargained to get two paintings for $60.

And this is what it said on Banksy’s website:

Yesterday I set up a stall in the park selling 100% authentic original signed Banksy canvases.
For $60 each.

Please note: This was a one off. The stall will not be there again today.

How much would you hate yourself if you walked passed that stall without knowing?

You would have JUST missed out on becoming a dollar millionaire – if you bought a few..

Watch the video above – too funny..
