Their Banksy prices are a bargain relatively speaking but with the weak dollar, those of us in the U.S. have a little harder time of it. You guys in the U.K. are really lucky to have such a great scene right now. Hats off to you.

There should be a poll option "wanted to purchase, but missed out"

I'm waiting for the 3D stuff.

Bet I don't get a sniff though

Its all been crap so far. Well not to my taste anyway - don't neg me for my opinions.

Why oh why is this selling out madness still going on - flippers take a look at Micallef for a quick guide to losing money.

I've read shed loads of threads and posts on this place and there are only a hand full of full on Bast fans from what I've read (Nu being one springs to mind) So why did these sell out in nano seconds when the image is a crap Mickey mouse (Sorry nu). Anyone??

Rollins - Are there any 3D prints coming out? I loved his last one and regreted not buying one.

Nothing yet as the prices are too high and nothing that has really taken my fancy. But its great watching the Ghetto site and seeing the scramble. I'm amazed like everyone else that prints that would usually hang around for a while and being snapped up. I do think a lot of silent watchers are holding out for the Banksy but I think that they may be surpised at the price. Double price increase on Trolleys? I would love to see Banksy roll out a £200 unlimited unsigned print which will hopefully give every one the chance of hanging a Banksy on the wall and boosting the year end profits for POW at the same time....And curbing the flip brigade. I personally will be watching ebay and laughing at the flippers making a loss.

I agree, but not £200!!

remember they used to sell ltd Banksy screen prints for £35 and with a high edition costs would be lower.

I would reckon between £50 and £100 for an unlimmited screen print.

U.S. dollar sucks,lots of fairly unexciting pieces,and man I am sleeping when they go up..I think some of us do get caught up in the moment,should I shouldn't I...

You're kidding right?? All money is going to kids in Palestine. The artists, and PoW aren't making a dime from this.... or is that only from stuff sold in the Palestine store?? Hmm.

the problem with the poll is that for those of us that have bought more than one you can only vote once!!!

I bagged a TT1, a crystal special and a mickey so far..

Reckon the CC company are gonna love me

Iv bought nothing so far....reasons and observations!!!....

My observation is that most people who have been on the scene for some time havnt bought as much as newbies have, not judging anybody in that what so ever, just an observation!

not seen anything that takes my fancy


Aiko - dislike the images although the Edition number, hand finishing is cool and decent value, not my bag though, but neither is the previous stuff, a little overpriced if anything IMO

Bast - again semi-decent prices and hand finishing etc - but bland and unimagionative imagery IMO, i like the fact its rustic and 'outside the box' but i just dont find the content compelling or imagionative myself.

Blu - iv yet to buy a Blu print, i just cant see it translating to paper, such a fantastic street artist, my pick of the year btw! shame the edition isnt a little lower, i wouldnt have bought but i bet many more would have.

Eric the dog - am i right in thinking that eric il cane and eric the dog is the same thing??? never taken much interest, until that Sam3 and eric il cane piece! the donkeys with tied tales WOW f**kin WOW - i think thats ace! the prints however leave alot to be desired for me, just dont get it, really quirky and i can however understand how some people would like them.

Faile - Typical faile imagery, just ok for me, £400 not ok for me! there seems to be alot of interest around faile at the minute which im not sure where its come from, LAZ probably with his auctions, their work has indeed taken a step up in recent releases but i cant bring myself to spend that kind of money on a faile...suppose abit like buying a $3500 banksy when you bought all the rest at £75. maybe it was my bad taste passing up on originals for under a grand a year or two ago, but i dont regret it!!

Kelsey Brookes - the most reasonably priced IMO, its a fair few prints that have been sold saying that and i expect many of these to be put back on ebay at a loss! cant understand these flying off the shelves and other recent releases at a lesser price, stronger images, more limited editions sitting on a website for a while. oh wait i can - its the ghetto effect!!!!

I still think the best is yet to come! anyone spent out so far is going to regret it! not much chance though unless you have endless time on your hands...bloody students! Sorry il leave now im rambling

Some nice pieces but nothing has inspired me to actually take the plunge. I never cease to be astounded how quickly the stuff sells out. I mean it's still possible to buy BAST originals (on paper) for US$900 so why the rush for prints at 200-350 quid? 400 quid for a signed faile from an edition of 175 is okay but makes the 65 quid for the unsigned marmaid on the POW site look pretty damn good- and no-one is rushing to buy those.

Excellent breakdown +1

now if i bought 100 of Blus funeral print do i have to vote 100 times?
