Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Feb 21, 2020 17:18:03 GMT 1, Ooooh I got a new theory!
The edition size will be equal to the number of people on the wait list.
Like a timed release all who want one will get one.
Making it limited will nudge folks to take the plunge.
This ensures maximum profits and customers happiness.
Win win win.
Now where’s my £100?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Pawel on Feb 21, 2020 17:21:08 GMT 1, Why would anyone second guess? From here and all the IG posts I've seen these have been bought for the charity, the deeper meaning and the sheer quality of what is not a mat, but a quintessential piece of art. Don't see edition number being a factor here? Just don't think at the current price these would continue to fly. This of course, is my opinion. You might be right. That said, what other banksy can you get for £400? Probably peckham rock and some damaged posters.

The Wait List is a general mailing list for all LW products and future emails. You could have signed up a year ago and the wait list would be the same emails.
By LW calling it "Banksy Mat Waiting List" is just a method of grabbing as many email recipients as possible.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by pfffffffffft on Feb 21, 2020 17:35:37 GMT 1, The Wait List is a general mailing list for all LW products and future emails. You could have signed up a year ago and the wait list would be the same emails. By LW calling it "Banksy Mat Waiting List" is just a method of grabbing as many email recipients as possible. I am a fan of Love Welcomes and their mission but the marketing is to a point where it's becoming both a little frantic and a little distasteful. If you sign up to our wait list for Banksy Banksy Banksy, did we mention Banksy, we can spam you on anything else we like.
Further, there is no privacy policy or T & Cs listed on the new site so there is no information there as to how our data will be used in the future.
Sorry, woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by beicoblack on Feb 21, 2020 17:36:33 GMT 1, Thanks👍🏼 Might be worth asking in that case can they guarantee everyone that wants one will get one I'm not asking anymore, as I think they have given more info than they needed to. As I see it, if you like the mat and the cause, then buy one. I just don't want people lining the pockets of the scum through quick flipping because of the hype and lies, when they can give direct to the charity.

I've never asserted anything was factual as you're doing.
It could go either way. Nothing wrong with hoping, either.

It could go either way. Nothing wrong with hoping, either. And there you have it, you’re ‘hoping and daydreaming’ that Love Welcomes sell less mats so yours will be worth more. LOL. When did worth ever become apart of what i said? What is wrong with daydreaming about something that was marketed as unlimited that was bought just to display and then hoping maybe, it ends up being signed or actually limited for a reasonable price point? Since I will never be able to afford a secondary signed item.
These sat for over an hour. Nobody was hoping to profit off an unlimited item for charity. Well some, but that number looks relatively small.
You're a tool.

Then and only then will I be able to donate or give back to charities PROPERLY. Not with disgusting filthy money, but with my virtuous thoughts and prayers. 🤔&🙏

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Stonetown on Feb 21, 2020 19:11:46 GMT 1, Its wrong to pass judgement on others because they are hoping that this mat ends up being even more special than they thought. Thats perfectly normal in my books. They bought their mat and supported a worthy charity. If it ends up being extra special, then let them revel.

I have to agree with this.
The most unpleasant thing about this whole thread has been the envy and snearing from those who don't have one and wish nothing but ill feeling toward those who might want some added glory from their purchase.
If you've never owned a banksy, never thought you'd ever be able to afford a banksy, why wouldn't you hope these were limited in some shape or form? Too many people are tarring everyone with the same flipper brush.

The hobbie of collecting can be to have something a bit different or rarer in your collection. Sure it starts in the school yard and street with sports and movie collector cards. Everyone wants to have the rare or fancier card in their collection.
I think it is the same with art collecting and there is a buzz having something that is hard to get and a bit rarer. As well as rarer items most collectors also want the more common items to help add to a collection also. I think that a mat would be an important part of a Banksy collection, regardless of rarety.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by pellets on Feb 21, 2020 20:11:29 GMT 1, So how would you form the sentence when giving people a tour of your vast street art collection?
Would you say “and here is my original Banksy sculpture”? Or “and here is a Banksy collaboration edition with Love Welcomes”? “Yeah, i own a Banksy, hand made dont you know”?
Im genuinely interested in how people will contextualise this piece.

Will insist they view every other piece of art I've ever bought, first. The drunken buys, the fomo buys, the speculations, the accumulations and then the implications of a lifevest hung on the wall.
You're welcome.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Harveyn on Feb 21, 2020 20:30:07 GMT 1, I like this, however would have gone white backing to show the straps. Yes I think you might be right. It was a frame I had that sort of worked but the same all white would show the straps off better. Maybe next weekends project to convert to white. White frame and backing.
Edit: Actually maybe a dark grey backing would allow the straps to show and still work with the black frame.
Cheers for the comments as that I think might just be the solution.

Too many people are tarring everyone with the same flipper brush. Because to limit them is to deny further funding the Love Welcomes cause, you selfish imbecile.
Oh look at mr charity over here.
Pathetic.
