The whole point of Bansky is that it is ephemeral and performance art. Sure, Bansky has a famous brand but if someone decides to throw paint on top of the Banksy then it honors his art better than literally auctioning or cleaning the actions of others on the art. When the painting he made shredded itself and after being auctioned for $1.4 million it was still the same price [1]. But, others who owned Banksy's did the same and they obviously lost value because they didn't get the point and that was Banksy's intention.
