Banksy โข Gangsta Rat Print, by RetroCanvas on Jan 27, 2006 10:54:18 GMT 1, Sounds a silly question but I was looking at my print this morning and realised that I have never found out what the iPOW at the top stands for.
Is it 'I Paint On Walls'?
I Poo On Wednesdays?
Anyone?

Except that in stead of 'pod' it says 'pow' for 'pictures on walls'.

LOL - i've also done that with Welcome to hell and gangsta Rat - I literally have got into art republic mins before they realise and jack up the price. I actually feel like I'm providing a valuable service - liberating banksy print from their money grabbing claws
I'm amazing how obsession can sometimes be good. I seem to check the POW web site about 5 times a day!

Banksy โข Gangsta Rat Print, by Honest Jon on Apr 27, 2006 0:32:59 GMT 1, I noticed that too, the owner is the same person who tried to charge ยฃ600 for a signed jack and jill one week after it was sold out.
Has anyone met the owner, hes a propper tight arse will not budge on price atall.
Example athena sold the same frames as them for ยฃ30 (went down to ยฃ22.50 in sale) and in art republic they were ยฃ43 (exactly the same make etc.....), so I wanted to buy a frame and print baring in mind they are already charging more for the print and he wouldn't budge on price even after sayin bout POW and athena!! so thought sod it and bought from athena and POW.
I just know he will buy aload of the next print and try and rip off people again, he is defenatly not following POW's ethics.
Hmmmm...........

Yeah I reckon ยฃ150 is more realistic at the moment (that seems to be the going rate - double in value when just sold out). Maybe more in the future, but remember they did take a long time to sell out and people even doubted they would sell out!

Or even sofa warehouse's, tomorrow they will be ยฃ1000, at the end of the week they call it a 'Spring Sale' and put back down to ยฃ200.
We should have a competition. The nearest guess for the price on 1st of June wins 5 gold stars. ;D

My brother saw 'i fought the law' in there and was seriosly toying with the idea of buying it. After he told me about it we went straight to POW and made a purchase. 
I'll let some other mug pay the price.

This isnt the way art galleries should be conducting there business.

Banksy โข Gangsta Rat Print, by Run Pig Run on Apr 29, 2006 11:45:53 GMT 1, to be fair they do start them off on ebay for ยฃ95 with free postage which means after fees they probably get about a tenner out of it. Also prints like napalm, virgin mary have been on there for months and months without many sales, it costs about 75p - ยฃ1 to list each one buy it now so my guess they've probably lost money on thoses. The rats will never sell at ยฃ295 (you could get a signed one for not much more than that) so let them carry on and we can all just laugh at them.

But Artrepublic are still bad people for there pricing.

But Artrepublic are still bad people for there pricing.
Their customer service is good. They also offer 10% off your next print (within a month) which is handy and reduces their margins on normal priced prints to something pretty small.
Wish they wouldn't wrap them so tightly though, and roll them length way rather than width way.
but, yes, the real problem is that they have got them at the normal price, then jack up the prices very fast when sold out.
2 ideas...
1) as soon as something sells out (you have to be very quick though - often just a few hours gap!), go on their site / ebay and buy any at ยฃ95 before they jack the price off. that must annoy them! :-) Liberate banksy prints!!
2) Let them advertise at ยฃ290 or whatever it is. Just don't buy them! I really doubt they are worth that at the moment. they are just taking a punt on someone buying it.

Agree with you there mate. I'm in business myself and if your not making 20-30% profit after costs on an item etc there's not a lot of point. We've all got to eat at the end of the day.No problem with that.If their not buying better than us then they've got a problem.
Putting up a picture to well over 200% profit is a bit of a liberty just after your competitor has just sold out. A 50-60% may be a bit more acceptable. Like I've said before in a previous thread after you've been ripped of once would you give them repeat business? I'd certainly think twice.
