So you didn’t win the POW Banksy Lottery , by Quinnster on Nov 21, 2017 22:53:36 GMT 1, Yes I’m gutted but not because I like the image.... If it wasn’t a Banksy would anyone want it? Honestly if not Banksy, i am sure most people would laugh at this, because it really isn't the most compelling image on a print, not the most witty or engaged message That said, liking it because it is Banksy does not mean being greedy or indoctrinated. I like that this is the last Banksy memento from POW, which was one of the greatest ever outfits in the scene. That is the value of this print for me, so missing out on this is nothing more than missing out on a cool sticker...
You hit the nail on the head....

For me I’ve always loved to idea of the Sale Ends and Festival one’s. My favourites being Nola, CYW, Applause and Trolleys. My least favourite by far being Doughnuts.

Good old nostalgia is a powerful thing.
But there’s plenty of things still on the site that would fulfill the above. But they aren’t selling out? Hmmm

So you didn’t win the POW Banksy Lottery , by Winks on Nov 22, 2017 7:51:52 GMT 1, I officially stopped checking my spam yesterday. I’ve been clinging on to the hope that there may have been further drops. Time to let it go 🙂
We’ve all been through the disappointment of missing out but why is this so bad. Yes, of course it’s a Banksy, it’s signed, it’s worth thousands, it’s mint, but it’s more than that.
This drop represents the end of POW with all of the nostalgia that brings. For those who missed the glory years of POW, this was their chance to be involved in a Banksy drop.
F5 bun fights are over in a flash, the fear and realisation of missing out is over in a flash. This has been a lingering death. Hope picked up and dropped over several weeks.
I feel like Banksy and POW have taken me to their dune sea, and thrown me into the pit of Carkoon to be digested by the powerful Sale Ends Sarlacc.
“In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years”

So you didn’t win the POW Banksy Lottery , by Red Barron on Nov 22, 2017 7:55:03 GMT 1, I signed up without any expectations of being selected, only one email address. Having had my expectations realized, now I have convinced myself that it is better this way. The image isn’t my favorite yet I would morally be unable to flip it and would feel an obligation to put it on the wall. And, I already own some of my favorite Banksy prints from a much cheaper era so am genuinely happy for all of the Banksy virgins out there that won, even if they are a small subset of the total. Either way, I think it is really amazing that POW did the lottery and the threads have been a great source of laughter.

Not sure if did win it what I would do with it apart from swap it as don’t like the image (if wasn’t Banksy don’t think it would get the time of day) so didn’t bother applying.

So you didn’t win the POW Banksy Lottery , by moron on Nov 23, 2017 19:19:21 GMT 1, I did not enter it.
I wonder why POW chose to describe it as a "lottery" ? Everyone knows that today one cannot buy a signed Banksy print for 500 quid. That the value is far higher.
People entered the lottery to be abe to buy the print for a fraction of it's market value.
