Watch the Auction (12072900071339191capture.wmv)

A screenprint by Banksy that pokes fun at the art world has sold at auction in London.

Moron's reached £5,250, about £1,000 more than its estimated value.

The print appeared on the secretive artists' website immediately after his piece Bombing Middle England reached a £102,000 at Sotheby's in early February

The print, which takes a dig at auction houses like Sotheby's, first appeared on the artist's website after Bombing Middle England reached £102,000 at auction in February.

The record was broken on Valentine's Day when Banksy got £953,984 for Keep It Spotless at Sotheby's in New York.

Meanwhile, Napalm, based on the famous image of a Vietnamese girl fleeing a bombed village that won photographer Nick Ut a Pulitzer Prize, fetched £11,000, and CND Soldiers went for £3,750.
