Conspiracies & Theories: Banksy gross domestic product™, by Not 4 The Thril on Oct 15, 2019 18:52:57 GMT 1, Anyone have an idea of suspicion when we'll see an update on the releases? IDK any specific things/deadlines approaching with Brexit? Any big UK holidays or events coming up?

Whenever they plan to push it live. I don't buy into secret messages about launch time or coinciding it with anything aside from a pre-ordained plan for pushing a website live. Sensible guess is sometime around 6am UK time some day as it will minimise traffic (assuming primarily UK and USA audiences) and allow Web traffic to be monitored and tweaked as it ramps up. That's how we release sites with that demographic anyway. I think most people are agreed it will not be a first come first served free for all but likely to be the unlimited or any time limited items available, possibly with option on lottery for limited items.

Conspiracies & Theories: Banksy gross domestic product™, by pukkapies on Oct 16, 2019 11:05:04 GMT 1, I’m surprised no one has figured this out yet.
Banksy will launch the site the same time Lazarides launches his book.
He wants to cock block his launch and I wouldn’t be surprised if he sells the di-faced tenner for a tenner which Steve is giving away to the first 50 people for his 450£ book.

Conspiracies & Theories: Banksy gross domestic product™, by orchid on Oct 17, 2019 9:36:05 GMT 1, The usual people, some here, will get a print without signing up to anything, like last time. Newbie sales ends v2 winners will get crossed off the editions list this time around (so better they choose unlimited product), to make it more even for the 50-100 prints that will ACTUALLY be available (from the edition of 300) all in all, whether you enter once or three times, the chances of anything are miniscule. Better off buying a few scratch cards. (or opting for unlimited tats)

This is my first time going through a lottery. I should have went the unlimited way myself but picked what i liked best, the Basquiat print.
Being a bit older than most on here Basquiat, Hambleton and Haring were my bag.

How many artists are now releasing prints in the thousands of pounds.
This gives every fan a chance to own something It might be a long shot but its fun trying

Conspiracies & Theories: Banksy gross domestic product™, by case on Oct 24, 2019 6:16:01 GMT 1, Anybody else wondering why there are mostly no details like measurements, paper etc. mentioned. Couldn't Banksy just send out for example stamp sized Flower Thrower prints on used fish & chip newspaper, signed by a random stranger? I know there were details in the window shop in Kroydon, but imo nowhere is said that the ones in the shop are like the items from there.
You are advised that GDP may prove to be a disappointing retail experience - especially if you’re successful in making a purchase.
Does this make sense or am I just tired because my little one kept me up all night?

I was having similar thoughts. Looking through the Ts&Cs on GDP there is a lot of chat about consumer protection and the returns process.
My opinion (which lacks any primary data to back this up) is that there would be an issue with misrepresentation if they showed full sized prints at the show and then sent you a miniature one instead. Im not saying all pieces will be identical to those in the show (and they even point out in the Ts&Cs that stuff is hand made and will differ) but that it would be like ‘bate and switch’ or something to not deliver goods that we’re materially in line with what was in the show.

Wealthy art collectors have been asked not to apply for any of these works. So it would be not far fetched that the next batch of items will be priced for that demograph.
Just me guessing, of course.
In general I think it will stay in place for future releases.
