The high bid on a Nazi-themed painting donated by Banksy to a charity auction topped $300,000 Wednesday — with another 24 hours left before the clock runs out.
"It's easily a record. We just couldn't be more thrilled," said Rebecca Edmondson, spokeswoman for Housing Works, which will get 100 percent of whatever the artwork brings in.
The oil-on-oil painting appeared in the window of the charity's thrift shop on East 23rd Street in Gramercy Tuesday, as Banksy headed into the last leg of his monthlong "Better Out Than In" New York City tagging tour.
After the piece was authenticated, Housing Works — which focuses on homelessness and HIV-AIDS issues — wasted no time putting it up for sale.
Banksy aficionados predicted the art would fetch at least $1 million.
Meanwhile the artist's latest piece popped up in The Bronx Wednesday night.

A stenciled work of a spotted cat called "Bronx Zoo" was displayed on the wall of an abandoned building across from Yankee Stadium.
His monthlong New York "residency" is expected to end Thursday.
