Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by inefficiency of on Oct 11, 2019 18:52:00 GMT 1, Iโd like to know also. Long drive tomorrow, wondering if I need to organise a specific time to be there. First Post ; I would get there as early as possible, when we went on Saturday one of the workers kindly told my girlfriend that they only hand them out earlier on when there are school children around and to come back tomorrow. We arrived a bit too early at about 9am to his amusement on Sunday and he told us to come back in an hour or so after breakfast, we did and there were a group of school children being handed out posters and he managed to give us one! Obviously the key here would be to check if they have been handing them out recently but thought I'd share with you. PS. I would be careful with some of the Rats on eBay, I've seen a couple that look a bit suspect.
Thank you for your help dude. Planning on arriving around 10am. As early start here for that time anyway. Cheers for eBay tips too. As much of a fan and would love a poster, I havenโt got the funds to afford the inflated prices of the second hand market. Either way Iโm really looking forward to see the show IRL. ๐๐ป

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by ajr on Oct 11, 2019 20:09:31 GMT 1, Well I went today and was there from about 11am to 3pm. Took a good look a few times as on first inspection we were not that impressed, but on second viewing we notice much more and it made sense. Stopped for lunch with the kids and took a tram ride to keep them entertained.
They were not giving any out whilst I was there, but miraculously as we were leaving one of the staff popped out of the back door and gave my son one!

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by Bill Hicks on Oct 12, 2019 13:45:55 GMT 1, certainly not faked at this point so you know it is authentic. might be an issue down the road. Although it has already been mentioned by others, your certainty on this occasion feels misplaced. Newsprint paper offcuts can be purchased at pretty much any crafts shop, paper supplier or packaging retailer. The rat image itself isn't especially complicated; it was created using a single screen. Someone with access to a real poster and a home studio could, within a couple of hours, therefore burn a duplicate screen and churn out reasonably-convincing fake screenprints. And if ignorant, credulous Ban ksy fans are the target marks, a scammer might save time by just making inkjet prints or photocopies. Remember to factor in the financial incentive that exists to defraud other punters. Moreover, the rewards for scammers are greater if they can get in early. Consider also the actual or probable character traits of anyone who is selling (or has sold) multiple copies of the posters on eBay. Even if theirs are genuine, it seems quite likely that getting hold of so many will have required the seller to be dishonest โ e.g. by wheeling out their kids like display whores to ask a GDP steward for posters, and then waiting around for a changeover of shifts, to request more posters from a new steward who's unaware they're being duped. Given the circumstances, it isn't too far-fetched to imagine a motivated ticket-tout / scalper type of individual very quickly producing and releasing a stack of fake rat posters.

Itโs great all these stories ! With kids, school etc..
It gives fresh air and made us forget all these hunts by adult flippers wanting to get a lot to sell them !
Thank you all

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by Segment on Oct 12, 2019 22:42:13 GMT 1, Was there today, only to watch as people literally pull up in their cars,, wake the sleeping child in the back seat, drag it across the road and proceed present it to one of the guys in brown coats like some sort of f*$king winning ticket!
Only to then nearly choke as they get presented with a print,, as if this was acceptable behaviour.
Not cool.

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by rebate on Oct 12, 2019 23:09:31 GMT 1, I was very tempted to offer a parent some money to go back with their kids, but my morals stopped me. My old self would be appalled at this ethical behaviour I tried - then realised how dodgy I looked - a bearded, hoody wearing old blerk - I'd have ended up on the front page of the daily mail! I then spoke to a mate of mine, he offered me his kids for the week - told me he'd appreciate the peace and quiet!!
Still not decided if he was serious.

I (very) briefly considered taking my niece but, knowing her, she'd probably try to put one of the windows through. She's 6, and it's an awkward age (for her and everyone around her apparently). |

Yep saw that happen as well when I was there on Friday. A car literally stopped infront of the store and the mum dragged out the baby while dad stayed in the car.
Luckily when I was there the staff on shift seemed very selective and gave very few prints out.

Exact dimensions and weight from a digi scale would be good - but share these details privately.
