I think they run the risk of becoming the sort of place that they seemed to want to combat in the world of Street Art  If they dont watch it POW could end up with nothing under £500, and another group of artists could come along and take a big chunk of the market just like POW had done over the last few years.

POW Pictures on Walls, by Daniel Silk on Mar 29, 2007 20:40:25 GMT 1, I think the trouble is, if they try to kill off the ebay re-sale market it could destroy the whole demand for Banksy prints risky thing to do 
Why would people buy an unsigned Banksy print from POW for say £500, when they can get a signed D*Face, Dolk, or Eelus for around £50?  You can get a Eelus canvas for £400 
Those are the sort of questions people would keep asking, and the demand for Banksy pieces could dry up POW are on to a good thing, they should keep it going and dont fiddle too much
If it aint broke, dunt fix it ;D
If it is broke (ordering system), fix it fast! ;D

They couldve sorted this if they really wanted to.

POW Pictures on Walls, by RBK on Mar 29, 2007 22:21:58 GMT 1, It doesn't matter if they are sold for 250, 500, 650, or 1000. The value of these is what the market is willing to pay - and it will be 2-3x for unsigned when they start appearing on Ebay and God knows for the Signed ones!
Baggers exist because it is a minimial risk, for a almost guaranteed profit. If the price increases, the only thing that will change is the type and amount of baggers out there (and they will be richer people with big credit).
I think the only thing that we have a right to ask for is a system that doesn't crash.

POW Pictures on Walls, by Mobu on Mar 29, 2007 22:27:44 GMT 1, I agree. Its all about the hype! They start at a low price and end up selling for a fortune... In a way we are our own enemy because we stagger and decide the ultimate price since we pay for it.
I do find though that the system of obtaining a print is hard work. Might as well do a lottery system to decide if you will get one or not. Hey, that would save me a lot of time and energy starring at the POW site... perhaps I could get on with my life.
I think no matter what you do, there will always be people out to make profit. You are telling me that the people who add threads here never thought of it? Honestly?
Anyways the only way to stop it is for Banksy to lose his fame, which I doubt since he is already branded. I do hope that we all get a piece we really like and cheerish it by framing and hanging it up. That is my dream! Sorry for the rant...

Welcome aboard, n00bz.
Now... < cranky old git mode >
POW are a business, not a charity, get over it and move on.
Nobody's being forced or made to sit at their PCs pressing F5 F5 F5 and then getting stroppy when the system crashes because of the amount of people pressing F5 F5 F5. It's like sitting in your stationary car on the M25 and moaning about the bloody traffic, or going up Glastonbury Tor and thinking it'd be nicer if there weren't so many tourists 
That said, I'm genuinely sorry for those who got prints in their baskets that later vanished - better luck next time!
( And I don't care if that is in the wrong thread - I've typed it already and can't be arsed moving it elsewhere )

POW Pictures on Walls, by krazy on Mar 30, 2007 8:13:40 GMT 1, ok.. I'm a newbie poster, but a long time lurker..
My opinion about eBay is that it's effect is twofold:
a: Because of the flippers that are out to make a quick buck, it causes PoW to sell out super quickly (that's a no-brainer). There's NOTHING PoW can do to mitigate against this... it's the nature of online trade these days. Many companies have tried to stop it, and failed dismally.
b: This one's slightly harder to exlain.. but I'll do my best: IMHO, eBay also keeps the prices of his work DOWN. If there was no eBay, it would be much much harder for anyone that didn't get it from PoW to get any signed Banksy art. There also wouldn't be as many flippers (so MOST pieces would go into permanent collections), and the demand for any pieces that do find their way to the market would be insanely high, hence driving the price up.

POW Pictures on Walls, by BK83 on Apr 2, 2007 3:03:35 GMT 1, I think your point there about ebay keeping the prices down can also be interpreted that it drives the prices higher because it exposes sellers and buyers to an even wider audience of fans who are willing to pay a top dollar. If there was no ebay, a print that was sold to someone in Melbourne, Australia would have a limited audience of buyers if it went up for resale. whereas with ebay that same print from melbourne can go on sale to a wider market of people who will no doubt bid the price up to an exaggerated market price.
Its late and I haven't articulated that as well as I would have liked, but the general point is there -- ebay drives the prices higher because it exposes these prints to a global market.

80-90% ? I respectfully disagree, I would say 10% make it to ebay, maybe

You make a good point... but I disagree to a certain extent.
Banksy's demand builds globally through his expoits, not through eBay... so if someone wants a piece from him (and can't get it through ebay), they'll search the world for that piece through calling galleries, well known collectors, etc... (I know, I've done this for work from other artists that don't regularly appear on eBay). Just have a look at the prices some galleries are charging for his work... their prices are far higher than eBay prices, and the target audience is the many many people that don't bother with eBay.
I stand by my belief... eBay keeps the prices down.

POW Pictures on Walls, by snorky on Apr 2, 2007 10:35:42 GMT 1, Ebay provides some measure of liquidity and transparency.
In an opaque market , for example art "dealers" - the likelyhood of cartels being estalished informally is more than likely - indeed, it is in dealers interests to keep information about supply and hence prices as restricted as possible, ensuring that direct comparisons are difficult to make on a like for like basis.
Check out Ebay prices against gallery prices and you will see the mark up. You pay extra for the "personal" service of a gallery and the provision of a piece of paper hinting at provenance for so called peace of mind.
On an efficiency basis, Ebay wins hands down, assuming you can weed out the charlatans and mixers in the fray.Galleries provide an ego trip - more of a shopping experience so to say. Galleries massage your ego and retain their exculisvity due to price and snobbery , even if the product bought is exaxctly the same and arrives in a heavy duty tube, just like ebay
IN this sense, Ebay could be construed as a price leveller and forces prices down- it is the closest thing we have to an open market and a vast improvement on the clique of galleries that have kept a closed shop for the past several hundred years.
Galleries will charge as much as they can get away with. Thye are often the arbiter of prices for one offs and limited edition prints - they set the level and informally ensure that their "competitors" keep to that level for all their sakes - have you ever tried to bargain with a gallery ? many would sooner escoprt you from the premises than reduce their profit from 200% to 150% in order to make a sale - this is why art is seen as a luxury and this is why new money spends so much on "art" when it arrives and has to make an impression.
Use the galleries to view and enjoy a glass of wine - listen to their soft sales talk, pick up the expensively illustrated brochures and then go home to feed your fetish with an Ebay purchase.
Leave gallery purchases for Ill educated footballers, 30 second reality TV whores and Slavic rapaicious oligarchs. Use Ebay if the like the image and want it on your wall.
its a "no brainer" as the crass seem fond on reitetrating rather endlessly

POW Pictures on Walls, by yeah7 on Apr 2, 2007 12:07:39 GMT 1, On a totally selfish point of view, I think it would be bad for POW to increase their prices.
I was lucky enough to get a unsigned morons, my first banksy. Before that I had been looking on ebay for a print that I liked (that looked genuine, with a good seller) and that I could justify spending that much money on, it never happened. The only way I can see myself getting anymore is through POW. I'm buying strictly to frame and to put on my walls, not to sell on or swop.
I worry that I'm going to be priced out of a print soon, even before they hit 3rd parties.

POW Pictures on Walls, by kingdomcome on Apr 2, 2007 12:53:29 GMT 1, Personally, I dont think POW could really care less about ebay. Why should they? They have made a tidy profit regardless of what happens on the bay.
POW prices have slowly risen over the past few years and will no doubt continue to do so, regardless of whether POW are trying to scare off the scalpers.
If POW doubled or tripled the prices, all it means is that people will pay double and triple for the work and it will sell on for even more at auction.
Whats the difference between someone selling a Banksy on ebay and someone selling one at Southebys or Christies? Nothing really....except they are going at inflated prices....
Bottom line is demand is outstripping supply...so POW, Ebay sellers, anyone can sell at huge profits...
Wouldnt suprise if a few POW owned prints have ended up on the bay.... They are in it to make money and they do it well....

POW Pictures on Walls, by scud80 on Apr 2, 2007 12:59:56 GMT 1, perhaps you didn't read the "rules of engagement" carefully enough. pow is not determining the prices on the banksy prints ... they are what they are at the artist's request.
raising the unsigned to 250 from 200 is in line with keeping the unsigned at half the price of the signed, which has been their typical banksy pricing structure for a long time (with grannies being the one exception i can remember). i doubt there will be another increase for the LA prints.

Theyre all in it together.... Have you heard the term 'price fixing'.....

POW Pictures on Walls, by scud80 on Apr 2, 2007 13:10:25 GMT 1, i'm perfectly ok with price fixing when it's used to sell me stuff i want at far below market value. if price fixing bothers you then don't try to order from pow and just get the stuff on ebay at the "unfixed" price ... nobody's going to stop you there and ebay doesn't crash either.

POW Pictures on Walls, by kingdomcome on Apr 2, 2007 13:16:51 GMT 1, Dont have a problem with buying off the bay.....infact, got a nice DVD off it the other week.
''far below market value'.... for who? You maybe, Im sure not everyone had £650 lying around for the shit coloured Moron print...
Its in no ones interests to devalue art, except the people who cant afford to buy it. Thats the facts of it. Banksy going at auction for inflated prices only increases publicity and demand for his work which in turn only increases potential profits for POW.
Its a win, win situation.......

If they dont watch it POW could end up with nothing under £500, and another group of artists could come along and take a big chunk of the market just like POW had done over the last few years. 
You can get a Eelus canvas for £400
