Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by bwilson on Sept 8, 2017 9:45:58 GMT 1, Ohh and the prints (box set) are very limited. The lady at the desk told me each one was handmade by banksy and once they go on sale they will be sold in less than 1 minute.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Poster Bob on Sept 8, 2017 9:46:30 GMT 1, Don't believe anything a2bob says. He's just trolling you. The hook and the print are official Banksy works and will be issued with a COA. Nothing is sold out yet. The hooks are limited to the number ordered and the the prints will have "from an un-numbered series" on the COA. This could very well be your last chance to ever get a Banksy print so book your flights and hotel ASAP as there's no knowing when they will stop selling them. Good luck everyone! I'm here right now. The hooks are sold out completely. The prints are not even here yet. apparently they are stuck in customs as they were shipped out from the uk. The only thing for sale is postcards. No, that's not true. Stop trolling. Book your tickets now guys, you need to get these prints ASAP they will be worth thousands within days.

So are you saying that this is just a con or "played" to get people on false pretences to go to the hotel? That's quite a bold statement for a Banksy forum moderator to say. Just because there isn't art for sale today doesn't mean there won't be in the coming days. As always it would be helpful if POW just dropped their endlessly ambiguous marketing methods.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Wearology on Sept 8, 2017 10:25:01 GMT 1, The joke seems to be on us. It seems to be a practical joke about the art for sale only at the hotel on their website. They probably thought a few people might make the trip to the hotel and at least they could salvage a few rooms booked after the summer - I can't imagine they find it funny - now that people actually made the trip from the US and the UK to Bethlehem to only find out this was a prank to increase sales and to say that a hook was sold out even though no actual customers have posted a picture of the hook.

Concerning the comments up there, I dont know who is trolling who and who si telling the truth ?! Anyway, unfortunately, I wrote too to the Walledoff Hotel, because of the shop ( no link ) : in fact I have just bought waht I can afford , a tee and a Tote bag, but I have not any confirmaiton email of my order, and almost all, I wanted to change my Tote bag against a tee for my son ! It is true that it is not easy to get them, and I don't like also to worry the WOH, as I was only asking for the shop..

The hooks are only pre-orders for now right? So I wouldn't expect to see anyone with them yet.

Are you surprised that they are already sold out? Most of this edition has probably been sold to a select few.

I bet you dont get a hook next sat..... that's strange as i have an email confirmation for my pre-order and paid for it already. But i guess you know more eh? I'm sure you do have a confirmation, but we are talking about them being available now and more specific next Saturday which they wont be....
Maybe you should pay a bit more attention to whats being talked about in the thread especially if you are the clown talking about it .......

Think all the people that have booked flights this morning have had a mare, the flight to catch was the one from Bristol last night ;-)

The clue perhaps is in the description that they are painted by local craftspeople. This could be a mini industry in its own right if Banksy wanted it to go that way.

If it takes art to get people to get out there, then more power to thoseย "people booking flights etc.."
Not being relegated at all, the majority just don't give a shit, same as about other bad tragic news. People are now flying out there to make a profit only. Also just curious as I honestly don't know he answer but Is Banksy donating all the proceeds from all this direct to the Palestinians?

This is the chance of a lifetime.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Hairbland on Sept 8, 2017 11:46:58 GMT 1, I think Banksy has consistently proved himself to be genuine, and I don't for one minute think the gifts are made up to falsely lure people to the hotel. People said the same about the Dismaland tickets when they didn't go on sale when they were first meant to. However, it's a pity when his ideas are let down by poor communication. When he's fully aware people will be travelling and spending a lot of money getting there, it's not asking too much to be clear about what exactly is on offer, and when it will be available
I'm not sure he cares about the type of person that will spend a lot of time and money to go there to buy rare Banksy tchotchkes. I think that type of person falls into his group of people to make fun of.

I think myself along with many others would appreciate it if just the people who actually have something useful to contribute posted, i.e. you are there and can post photos.
Yes that means you, Bobs

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Hairbland on Sept 8, 2017 12:11:43 GMT 1, On a serious note and I am sure someone could explain this far far better than me is it not to do with the Israeli West Bank barrier between Israel and Palestine, the grappling hook represents getting over the obstacle and obviously Christ on the cross represents religion in the area as we all know it is one of the most religious places on the planet. The thing as a whole represents being able to overcome this......
