BONGO CALL FOR ACTION, by dandb on Nov 21, 2008 17:01:43 GMT 1, Actually no - I prefer phone calls to emails and I was going to ask for details of any more future releases. Bring on fairQ! There phone will be ringing like mad with people wanting to verify getting prints and also with people moaning. I can tell you the details they'll give about future releases... none... there saved you a phone call
You dont need to save me a phone call -I'll find out for myself thanks.

BONGO CALL FOR ACTION, by rosstierney on Nov 21, 2008 17:02:52 GMT 1, i wasn't attacking you silvermyn
i'm trying to share my knowledge with everyone reading this thread as to why the print sold out so fast & to stop them spouting the same old s**t so i don't have to read it
i was prepared to loose out but i didn't because i was in the right place at the right time
i'll always say fair enough, try & find a post where i've had something to say about missing out
the same goes for this karma system, you'll never find me talking about it because it doesn't bother me
to everyone who missed & scored, move on

BONGO CALL FOR ACTION, by thetongue on Nov 21, 2008 17:05:55 GMT 1, I see your point Bongo but I feel the only really fair way is to do a la Flags - announce a date and let people queue up. If you don't get one you didn't there early enough, simple. And if you don't live near where it is, then you don't want it enough. Job done. a recipe for fights and arguments more like.
Why? Wasn't last time. Were you one of the Micallef losers?

Yes.
Why don't you wait until all the furore over Nola has died down then phone and ask them. They'll tell you exactly the same as they tell every other customer.

BONGO CALL FOR ACTION, by spirit on Nov 21, 2008 17:08:48 GMT 1, They weren't worth as much money last time, and there wasn't a recession then, and no I didn't like the Micallef prints and thought they were way overpriced, so I wasn't in that queue.

Not really. I've always found them very helpful. Maybe it's company policy not to tell everyone.

BONGO CALL FOR ACTION, by daz205 on Nov 21, 2008 17:13:58 GMT 1, if someone runs an autochecker on the banksy print page is it not a simple bit of code to write so that when the checker notices a change + a buy button the script runs and auto purchases the print?
b.t.w. i am not a programmer nor do i have the script but it cant be that hard to write imo

BONGO CALL FOR ACTION, by Prescription Art on Nov 21, 2008 17:14:59 GMT 1, I didn't get a print... in fact since the LA show all i've managed to get is an unsigned grannies & a colour trolleys.
However with the demand for prints at the moment, there is no way of selling them to keep everyone happy. There are always going to be a lot of people missing out, and they'll all be wanting it to be done a different way so that they could have got a print rather than the people who did get one.
I'm pleased it's a small edition print - it makes it exclusive & desirable. If you want a cheaper Banksy with a higher edition buy a Flag print.
If you didn't get one, I can recommend numerous artists whose original works you can pick up for a similar price to this Banksy print. These will give you much more pleasure in your pomme de terre.

Fair enough. Just I never saw any problems in the Ghetto queues. If you knew x thousand would turn up, you make the decision to go or not, then it's down to you how early you 'F5'.

You're not going to get a print if you're not on the website when it's released!

It's okay, I didn't feel you were on the attack. I'm going to give you some karma whether you care about it or not ;D
IMO POW should start thinking about this now because it will become a problem over time. If everyone starts using a script then their concept of making prints available to everyone is dead in the water.
Certain people will eventually bag all the prints automatically without being anywhere near a computer at the drop. That would leave everyone else up sh*t creek. No amount of being in the right place at the right time will get you a Banksy at cost. Of course, if you use a script you'll be sitting pretty and probably straight onto eBay to make a few more quid out of the scene.
The only ones benefiting will be the wealthy and the crooks. If I recall correctly, in the old days the POW website used to state that it was their aim to ensure that this was not the case.
Well, I ask you POW; what's changed since then?

They don't pre-warn ANYONE of release... it's very, very simple
