Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by jynormous on Dec 11, 2007 12:32:23 GMT 1, it's so expensive because it's for charity! good on them, if they can sell them at those prices that's great. rather they have the money than some flipper as i don't think these will sell on for a huge profit
didn't we work out that only the originals were for charity?

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by frank11 on Dec 11, 2007 12:32:35 GMT 1, hmm no dimensions on the crystal clears
Proves point everyone buying because they are looking for the next banksy  190 prints sold people did not even have a clue about dimensions etc. It could be the size of a postage stamp ;D

I don't think these prints are for charity - only the art in the store itself no?
Edit: sorry for the echo...

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by pezlow on Dec 11, 2007 12:34:30 GMT 1, What do people think of the Aiko prints. The crystal clear one looks good. I reckon the "special" will look the business in the flesh. I'm not so sure about about the wording on the left hand side of the print though - "help stop global warming fly and drive only when needed". Seems a bit of an obvious message to put on there.
Not so sure about can't handle.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by jynormous on Dec 11, 2007 12:35:44 GMT 1, what they said - I think this scene is setting itself up for a big fall. To be honest I'm surprised that the print houses are not excersing more caution in the interest of their long term business prospects but instead they seem to be trying to grab what they can while they can which is a very dangerous attitude imo...
I too agree with this statement. You can see it at the moment with the D*Face releases that were a few weeks ago. They were all snapped up in seconds and now the flippers have put them on ebay, but do to the huge number on there for sale, the prices are getting lower and lower and you can buy some of his new stuff for about ยฃ60 more than the release price.
Its a bad time to be a buyer and a flipper. The buyers get burnt at the initial release, the print gets sold out in seconds, and the flippers get burnt on ebay because there are so many on there for sale!

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by slowmo on Dec 11, 2007 12:36:24 GMT 1, Dont think they're too expensive, if you like the image, its worth ยฃ175, ยฃ225 or ยฃ325 (at a push). Just found out that Aiko translates as Love Child, what a sweet name!
I like these, but I am only interested in buying things I really want, so passed, hopefully if this is burn out point, next year I'll pick one up off ebay for ยฃ100-ยฃ80 from some poor soul

had a special in the cart and let it go because of that wording! would have been a better print without it.

Agreed... Can't tell if it's a parody or not, and that's never a good thing

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by ihate69 on Dec 11, 2007 12:40:01 GMT 1, hiya im new to all this.
i am interested in good art that i like.
im not sure that alot of the sales on POW are now by fans.
more people trying to make a quick buck.
its a fair game but this will KILL this market.
as for POW they are making BUCKET loads of cash it seems.
i hear some one said 75,000 for the faile alone.
how much goes to the artists eh?
and how much in POW pockets....
...... interesting times.
i prefer takashi murakami prints / good price and will hold their value
and they look the bomb.
.... thats me.
