Good on you, pal.

THIS.

Best Thread Ever!!
I don't know what I'm loving more....
The people who may have gotten duped into a overpriced tshirt but who are coming up with scenarios that make you hold out hope that it is a real Banksy tshirt. OR the haters, who probably wouldn't hate on fellow members getting duped but hate on it just in case it turns out to be real Banksy tshirt.

Q: "tofer @bnedotorg thanks! Also is that article on AnimalNewYork accurate? They are saying Banksy's pr says he is not involved. Just a bit confused."

A: "bnedotorg @tofer yes"

Yes confused or yes he is not involved?
Good luck with future fundraising, also I do not think a charity in the US could operate this way. There are going to be repercussions if this was a scam.
Very Illegal...
Not to mention the Class Action lawsuit, bitches! :pint:

I changed my comment from "hosed" to "you're all delusional" so I dunno why everyone is fixated on that one word.

I bought one too, don't get me wrong. But some of you are seriously grasping at straws.

Also, this class action lawsuit talk is hilarious. Some lawyers up in hur!

"No refunds or exchanges"

Why would someone spend $600 on a shirt?
I thought you were leading the charge for refunds in the AM?

I hope it is real. I bought one. If it is not, oh well. I'll file a complaint and collect the refund.

It would be so simple to put it to bed with ONE SENTENCE.

ie: "Banksy is not, has not, and will not be involved in any way, including shirts, with BNE or this project."

Instead of stopping the experiment, threatening action or denouncing it all together, they forward articles and leave statements open for interpretation. The charity itself has not spoken out against it either. We aren't needing to grasp for straws yet.
Can be an online release PB when I am not trying to get the piece if I am available. Just ask.

I just can't believe this kept me from enjoying basketball all day...

Someone who has filed a claim needs to post their dispute language for all EB'ers to use for Paypal in case someone wants a refund. Seems like that would save time trying to explain something that a bunch of others have already explained (and show consistency of "victims")...
