open, by spirit on Dec 11, 2007 12:31:02 GMT 1, I think what we are seeing here is the second stage of the evolution of the flipping market stage i) a few sly people learn to read the market to some extent and make a hefty profit stage ii) lots of less sly people see a few people making a profit, think it's just a case of buying anything with a POW stamp, and try to do it themselves, no doubt egged on by press coverage of banksy/the ghetto and some of the daft BIN prices that appear on ebay stage iii) ...involves lots of scorched fingers... 100% agree
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...

didn't we work out that only the originals were for charity?

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...

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.

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!

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

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

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.
