Banksy 2010, by rperry on Nov 1, 2011 20:58:12 GMT 1, Banksy's people should triple the price of the release and perhaps give one of us NON-flippers WITHOUT deep pockets a chance to own one... My walls are so sad

Banksy 2010, by sand on Nov 1, 2011 20:59:59 GMT 1, When a banksy release thread is started maybe a password protection would stop non-members reading any information discussed about the release on the forum. That would also have the benefit of not having to read all the posts about if you are not interested. The posts generally say the same thing over and over and clogs up the forum.
I agree 100%
Why should a bunch of non contributing parasites be able to feed on the knowledge of forum members who contribute to the forum year round.
I see the bickering amongst certain members has already began..

The easy way to get rid of the gangsters / organized crews who pay people to queue is simple; make the release a 'pre-order' and don't hand over the print straight away. Instead ship it 4-8 weeks after the 'release'.
And only accept card payments (no cash which is the preferred method of payment from the organized crews).
That should def help a little.

Banksy 2010, by Deleted on Nov 1, 2011 21:31:36 GMT 1, FORUM INFORMATION - BANKSY RELEASE DATE TIP OFF
In December 2009 - Simon informed a number of POW shoppers on the release date - asking them not to shout about it. No comments where made by forum members about the Saturday launch on this forum.
In December 2010 - POW informed no one (or very few) about the sale. People decided to to queue without knowledge, on a hunch. Even with 100+ people outside the Soho store - POW still said nothing.
Graffic posted he had seen VIPs at Commerical Street - this was the first concrete posting that something was "going down"- although the queue was already well formed before this post was made.
In short - reading posts on this forum did NOT HELP ANYONE get the edge or an increased chance of obtaining a BANKSY for two years running.
LOCKING THE THREAD WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA - IT WAS 50 PAGES OF NOTHING AND WASTED PEOPLES TIME AND EFFORTS - PLUS PISSED MANY FORUM MEMBER OFF (Poor poor Graffic even said he was going to leave this nasty place :

Banksy 2010, by hunter007 on Nov 1, 2011 21:46:57 GMT 1, And it starts already, wow earlier than last year. Im going for 104 pages before the print actually drops.
Also im sure that most of Banksy "fans" in the que will be out to make a quick buck, and yes it is bad and not fair but then such is life. DOnt worry about it peoples its only Art yes id love aload of Banksy on my wall but i have none , oh no poor me i know "small violin playing" But in reality having Banksy on my wall will not cHnge my life for the better, but spending less time nd not getting annoyed with the forum the que or not owning a banksy will benifit peoples life im sure, Take the kids out, treat the lady or male in your life , If you cant do these things then i guess your last hope of a bit of inner peace and tranquilty would be to que up over a night or two,,,

Banksy 2010, by Deleted on Nov 1, 2011 21:54:54 GMT 1, If there's a queue this year I'm pitching up with my best mate and his bike club. They were very interested last year that you could make ยฃ3K by standing around on the street for 12 hours getting pissed......
For this reason I agree with Pez - that there will be no 'queue' this year.
If there is see you there - I'll be standing with the 50 or so blokes who look like they have nothing to lose........

Banksy 2010, by hunter007 on Nov 1, 2011 22:12:49 GMT 1, Making the thread password protected ? Surely this should be the case anyway for every thread if you apply it to one? simple to do really but then simple to sign up and register an account and lurke, Prehaps there should be a rule that your account will become suspended if your daily post drops below a certain number , It would be like the Film Speed

Banksy 2010, by twinkle on Nov 1, 2011 22:36:59 GMT 1, I don't think a locked thread makes any difference to be honest, given that the last couple of releases were adequately secret, so much so we all queued on the wrong night in the wrong place it's 99% full of useless info and just silly speculation (all good fun I might add!!!). I expect Banksy will adopt a multiple release system with a lottery and a live release. POW could quite easily run an online database registration system where names, addresses and payment details could be collected say in early December via their website for anyone keen to enter a lottery or queue. In fact make it a ยฃ20 registration fee all proceeds to charity. This would deter organised gangs from getting involved as they would need to have everyone registered and paid up. POW then keep the launch date and location secret, stopping crazy fools from queuing for three solid days, sending out a SMS to all those registered at the last minute. Why not release some prints in London, some in Bristol and some in Edinburg... Those that queue will have to prove their identity and provide the registered payment details....no details no print....sorted

No way, give us other europeans and banksy fans a chance on a banksy from source,too. Make it fair and release in fireland or in the australian backcountry. The first 500 insanes deserve it.

Banksy 2010, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Nov 1, 2011 22:50:21 GMT 1, Surely POW won't release a print on the day after what happened last year?? If they do they may have to produce a 'Queue Jumping' 2000ed print after wards. IF there is a release it will be lottery only - the safest way and also means there won't be 150 pages of people on here phukin moaning!!! Its all about the profit, same as everyone buying up everything by Dran?? I wonder what artist will be this years must buy/flipped from POW??

2.why anyone on this forum deserves a print more than anyone else out there is an absolute mystery to me. For the most part this is a place populated by relatively young males, who can afford to purchase art and see it mainly as a p*ssing contest. If someone from outside this insular little world can make their Christmas a little bit more affordable by flipping a Banksy, who am I to begrudge them?

why does it matter...there was a queue and a lottery. fair for everyone.
if there was a lottery only i would moan as i never win them. having every option is the fairest way!
aslong as they get the guards out, it's fine.
lets face it, if you dont get one your gonna moan. not everyone can get one. it happens with every single print, not just banksy.

Banksy 2010, by twist65 on Nov 2, 2011 1:32:56 GMT 1, ok why don't we have a competition - i'm going to guess at 135 pages of this before an actual print release takes place this year (or confirmation that one won't happen). If i'm right someone can buy me a pint. If anyone else wants to pick a number and are correct, I will either buy you a pint or send out a Tesco voucher to the value of a can of low quality lager

One or 2 might even be framed.
No matter what it'll be frustrating.

Banksy 2010, by Gentle Mental on Nov 2, 2011 1:54:56 GMT 1, I am going to say the same thing as I did last year - price it to the market - have ยฃ2000 prints at ed of 500. see how many fly through the doors.
With no profit margins for the flippers, no mess, no corruptions, no q, no fights, no crying gansters.
And should Mr B and POW want to do good for the college students to pay for their fees, or starving kids, or free some fellow artist from jail - do it with money from the sale - there'll be more money to help.
