General Times for Releases?????, by rob123rob on May 15, 2007 4:16:23 GMT 1, I know that nobody knows when prints are going to be released on POW, but does anyone have a rough idea as to what time of the day they are released. I live in Canada and so far I've missed all the major POW releases of the last year because usually they are released in the middle of the night (my time). But if there was a general, rough time (Great Brittain time) when they are released, then I could set my alarm clock to that time when it seems near a new release. The only way I was able to finally get a signed Banksy was because by the time I woke up on the Morons release day the server was all messed up, and I spent the rest of my day at work hitting refresh over and over again until seven hours later when their site came back up and all the Morons were suddenly available.
What time was Morons released in the UK, and how does that translate to EST here in Canada, anyone?

they did the last banksy at around 10 am EST canada time ("3pm BST" -well someone couldnt really read a watch but...). I imagine the next one wil be similar so north american folks have a crack. Best thing to do is check the homepage in the mornin when you get up 6am, 7am etc. good luck!

General Times for Releases?????, by ThursdayFeeling on May 15, 2007 9:28:35 GMT 1, Have you noticed that most of the Morons prints available for sale on Ebay have come out of America.
I would be interesting to know what the proportion of release was actually sold to America.
Then would it be fair to say that if POW are trying to avoid baggers/flipping then they should adjust the release time to accommodate the collectors.
And haven't 100 of each print already been release in the US.
Is the system fair, should they have 1 specific time of release and stick to it.

General Times for Releases?????, by dmandpenfold on May 15, 2007 9:34:37 GMT 1, but TF, that might be simply because most of the release was sold in North America as everyone here was asleep...if...the release had been midday here and the site hadnt crashed, most of the sales would have been in the UK / European time zone and probably most of the ebay sales would have then come from there too.
I dont think we can point the finger at any country in particular, it just happens to have been where many of the prints were sold last time around

I'm not pointing the finger at any particular country, merely saying that when POW released the last print the time was to accommodate the US buyers. I feel it would be better if POW released at 1 specific time during the day............oh and let me know personally 1 hour beforehand on the day ;D

General Times for Releases?????, by dmandpenfold on May 15, 2007 9:55:20 GMT 1, that'd be nice TF, can you tell me when you find out ;D ...... mum's the word
but seriously is it best for POW to give out a release time? remember the Morons bunfight? it was no better than the Applause, Grannies etc chaos and site crashes. Looking at the Paul Insect release yesterday which was out of the blue perhaps it's best just to release them and those who hear the word first, typically members of forums such as this who are for the most part interested in the art, get in first?

General Times for Releases?????, by mcnuts on May 15, 2007 9:59:30 GMT 1, i did like the fact it was said in advance. gave me time to cancel meetings etc. I'd prefer a little less uncertainty. Iโd imagine they will do it the same as before. With โthe art worldโ paying attention to banksy, Iโm sure there is pressure from all ends. While a set time might descend into Obey-type madness, we can at least all make time to grab a deckchair on the Titanic.
Now... form an orderly line...

i am sure you are aware that they were meant to have been sold at 3pm UK time and the site crashed in minutes. When the site went back on line it was the middle of the night hence why there are so many in the States.
There is no such time as a time for collectors and a time for baggers as they are equally keen to snap up prints at any time of the day.
Its about as fair as it can be ;- fastest finger first etc,
just works better when the website does not go into meltdown.

After going through the website crash, I just happened to be messing about that night and discovered it was up. Nothing but luck. I do not expect to be so lucky again.

I may be sad, but the stats on the Alexa site are very interesting. Though what's with POW's apparent popularity in Vietnam?
