Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by rockbeer on Sept 9, 2017 9:09:07 GMT 1, I wonder whether it occured to anyone involved that significant numbers of people would turn out to be greedy/deranged/impressionable enough to actually fly to Israel from all over the world at the drop of a hat in the hope of having the opportunity to buy (and in many cases no doubt resell) some oddments of tat that might or might not at some stage during their production have been breathed upon by Banksy without first verifying that such tat would actually be available.
I'm obviously extremely naïve because it wouldn't have occurred to me.
This whole game has become quite sickening. I can't help feeling a little sorry for genuine collectors - but for the flippers, I sincerely hope it costs you a fortune and you get nothing except a shed load of trouble for your troubles.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Deleted on Sept 9, 2017 9:10:37 GMT 1, I suppose some people will just be on a turn around flight and panicking that they are going to be coming back home empty handed which is not good if they have spent a alot of money on flight's etc and would be really gutting. Keeping my fingers crossed for them that the items turn up at the shop before they have to go (I am sure that they are all not there for the wrong reasons). I hope they don't turn up if that is all they have travelled for. Honestly? What about someone who has followed Banksy's career for years and never had an opportunity to purchase something because of the massive rise in prices so they decided to take a great leap of faith and fly out there spending a good amount of cash in the process to make this happen in the hope of purchasing something at a really reasonable price before all the galleries and dealers get there mit's on them. Then to return home with probably what would be their most prized possession only for themselves to keep as part of their collection? I'm Just saying...not everyone's in it for a quick buck, some people genuinely would like to own a Banksy and see this as maybe a last chance opportunity to do so, Think what you will but Iv'e said it before on this thread if my health was right I would have gone in a second, if anything just for the thrill of it and being able to recall the story to my young boy's. I'm just a bit of a dreamer though....

Though don't bitch about it if your plan doesn't work out, be happy that you try'd. At dismaland the James Joyce print didn't appear till the afternoon, alot of flipper had left by then with 20 posters under their arms.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by belly123 on Sept 9, 2017 9:30:08 GMT 1, People travelled to the other side of the world at short notice and deserve to get what they went for. I would be pissed off if I went and got nothing in return. They went because they wanted to buy a Banksy, what's wrong with that? I don't get why people are saying that they deserve to get nothing for going. I used to drop everything and rush down to London from Birmingham to buy Banksy prints and it's exactly the same for the people that are there now, fair play to them and I hope they get something for their troubles! I wish I went!
I think I'm over this Banksy thing now, too much jealousy and bullshit for me.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by eschiff on Sept 9, 2017 9:41:28 GMT 1, I've had over 75 messages as well Carl. It's funny. To be fair - about 10% of them aren't just begging for tat and those were the ones I responded to.
As discussed on PMs no one can pretend the money hasn't always been here - at least since I joined 2010-ish. But the difference now is in the misinformation and profiteerers. A lot of good info went over to NBF and while there is still plenty of good info on here, if you're new, or not keeping up with usernames, it's easy to get distracted.
The assumptions on this thread are fantastic as well but as FR said, that's why they'll never be another Banksy release. If you want a Banksy best to get to know Simon and Kim as there's usually nice stuff available if you've played nice over the years.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Deleted on Sept 9, 2017 9:45:14 GMT 1, I have a lot of sympathy for people that have travelled, as it's very disingenuous or even out right lies from Jo Brookes, Banksy and their team. The Guardian article, which seems to be copied from a press release is pretty clear these items are available, as is the online shop.
People don't have a right to buy these items, but at very least they should have been on sale, as they were at the Santa's Ghetto years ago. To give you a very middle class comparison, you don't travel to Padstow for hours to visit a Rick Stein restaurant, and be told when arrive that you can't have dinner as advertised but instead you should be grateful just to be there and go to and enjoy the Cornish scenery.

That for me would me art with a real message.

Well said! They deserved the right to try and buy something if they got there in time just like any other Banksy release.

And like the other Banksy releases they are there to make a quick profit. If they want to take the risk that's one thing but to get nasty with the staff shows the types of people they are. It's gift shop souvenirs that are open editions (apparently) - people need to stop and think for a moment - it's insane.

White middle class people shouting at Palestinians - yeah ok like thats never happened to them before!!! If true that people are screaming and shouting at the staff, then they had better calm themselves down before shit gets real for them real fast, remember where you are and show some respect.

Maybe that image will b his long awaited print release. Ironically those folks depicted in the print will be scrambling for it when its released

It shouldn't matter about the edition size, they should just get the chance to buy what they were told is available. If they missed out then tough luck...it's part of the game, but they haven't been on sale when they were told they are available now. It's always the same jealousy with Banksy prints.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by kel on Sept 9, 2017 10:28:42 GMT 1, What would of and probably should have been the way this merchandise was released is make it only available to guests of the hotel. As there is 8 rooms they could have released an edition of 500 and that would have covered just over 2 months of bookings. There is plenty of availability for rooms and at the end of the day the hotel will only survive if they fill the bookings up.

Those people talked about POW staff like shit and it was ok for them.
I'm sorry, I just don't get it! It's just the same as Santas ghetto, people only went there go get something and that was fine, now they are c@$ts!

You've never scored a Banksy print have you?
It shouldn't matter about the edition size, they should just get the chance to buy what they were told is available. If they missed out then tough luck...it's part of the game, but they haven't been on sale when they were told they are available now. It's always the same jealousy with Banksy prints. There has been no indication that anything is in the shops NOW. So if people jumped the gun without collecting information and decided to turn up before the items are available, then that is on them. You've never scored a Banksy print have you?

The keyfobs.... are they cast in Palestine? and hand decorated by local Palestinian artists?
I think I saw someone say they would be available next week.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by case on Sept 9, 2017 10:49:53 GMT 1, In the hotel now listening to people get pissy with the staff, have some class people... youv travelled to a war zone for art. Never seen anything like this before, the vibe is reals**tty No surprises there Carl, too many people in it for one (wrong) reason. Really no surprise. The way this is handled must be absolutely horrible for the staff there and I have no clue why it is done this way. Just for a joke on flippers and the art market? There has to be a better way.

The staff there are wonderful. Have a falafel you t**tS! As far as I read the staff there is very nice and seems not to be responsible for the way this is handled - but they are the ones who have to deal with the riot caused by it. That`s what I was trying to say. English is not my native language so please excuse if I didn`t get it right. This is also the reason why I do not know what your last word should mean but I assume it is something very nice. Now off to my falafel.
