Depending on how many actually get made. Whether itโs the 500 or 1000 or the unlimited it in reality could easily be. Time will on tell if these were worth it... You cannot look beyond monetary value. You claim you want 'serious art chat' but you just want investment chat. A stand-out piece from the Gross Domestic Product exhibition for a very reasonable price, which massively benefits an important charity. It's "worth it" no matter how many are made, even if not in the narrow sense you mean. You seem not to like Banksy, yet you're obsessed with him. |

The 'How it works' section says you are allowed to "register your interest" in one product only. The mat could just be bought, via a link to another site, not directly on GDP, so you didn't have to register an interest. Some people, me included, bought via a link in an email from Love Welcomes, so not through GDP at all.
The Ts and Cs say you can buy "one item only", so it may include the mat, but it also says "if you are interested in buying an item on our website", but you can't buy the mat on the website, so it's unclear.
You can read it either way and the actual rules will be up to GDP to decide. We'll only know when we know.
I'm very happy with my choice, whatever the rules are.

And itโs a donation. So thereโs that. Technically not Exactly a sale item. The money doesnโt go to the shop. Thereโs no COA etc.
The other question is
Would you lose your mat if you try to apply for something from the shop?
Da dum!!!!
Ha ha?!
Ok Iโll stop. Thank you.

That is why each edition will be 500 no mention on the GDP shop it's a 1000 that's it. I've registered interest and hope they produce a million over time.

So Banksy raises awareness about societal issues, drive visibility to small organisations like LW so the ยฃยฃ go to a good cause or people in need and yet we're still here to complain. Not picking up on anyone but what Banksy has done is worth much more than selling a couple a APs imho.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 17, 2019 11:21:14 GMT 1, Are there tens of thousands of used life jackets?
Or will they have to buy new ones to meet the demand?
How many life jackets does it take to make one mat?
I bought one. And I feel very lucky.
Itโs better than the banksquait - in terms of thought aesthetics, design, wit and humanity.
Itโs a better piece of art. All in all.
Possibly the best Banksy has ever done.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Unica on Oct 17, 2019 11:25:33 GMT 1, Nice piece and great cause, hard to display though, so probably best to just use it and when it wears out just order another one in the next batch. Its all for charity so no harm done. It will also keep many people employed for many years, so I can see these being sold for year until demand drops off.

Itโs not actually that weird an idea putting these on the wall as if you look at the welcome mats on the Love Welcomes website they even suggest displaying as a wall hanging:
โWelcome your visitors with these stunning mats woven by refugee women, out of strips of life vest material and upcycled blanket fabric. One of the most unique mats on the market, you can display it as a wall hanging, floor mat or even use on a table.โ
Iโm looking forward to seeing what people do with them as it looks like some people already have some creative ideas.

If you have it hanging on your wall its the first thing people will notice, so they will ask you why.
That's one way to get the the story across

Clearly my comment is in regards to all those saying these are steals, and no pass at this price, and talking about them selling for 3k already on eBay.
Yes if you buy it and enjoy it and have it for thirty years then surely worth it. Is that going to be you?
I had the chance to buy in the first round and passed. Donโt act like you know my motivation.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Deleted on Oct 17, 2019 12:43:50 GMT 1, So essentially if you bought one of the mats it's Banksy's best, limited and thought provocative piece which will only soar in value.
If you didn't buy one then it's an unlimited door mat which isn't worth framing because it would look weird.
This place never changes.....
(For the record I didn't get to buy one but still think it's fabulous)
