According to Valleywag, the identity of "Banksy," the artist(s) responsible for creating some of the most talked about "street art" in recent years, is up for sale. For how much, you ask? At least $3,000. (Or, better yet, you can buy it now for $25,000.) How one can verify such a claim is beyond us, but there you have it, folks.

The EBay auction ad reveals:

If you win this auction I will mail you a piece of paper revealing the true identity of "Banksy".

I have uncovered his identity by matching up the prices of his sold pieces to corresponding tax records. I will reveal no more details.

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.

I give you 100% assurance that it is most certainly the full name of the street artist known as "Banksy".

Our money is on renowned interpreter of cottages and Christ, Thomas Kinkade.

Londonist, if you recall, snapped these shots of the evasive artist back in 2007.
