£208,100 apparently if it's a Banksy. Sold yesterday on Ebay, the sale doesnt include the cost of removing the wall. Once it's removed though does it still count as that famous piece of graffiti on Portobello Road? This all reminds me of the Roald Dahl story, 'Skin':
“Wait,” the dealer interrupted.
“See here, old one. Here is the answer to our problem. I will buy the picture, and I will arrange with a surgeon to remove the skin from your back, and then you will be able to go off on your own and enjoy the great sum of money I shall give you for it.”
“With no skin on my back?”
“No, no, please!-You misunderstand. This surgeon will put a new piece of skin in the place of the old one. It is simple.”
“Could he do that?”
“There is nothing to it.”
