Not when you have to explain to your ebay buyer, that their limited edition mat of 500 they bought two weeks ago is numbered 520😁

I think there's bit of misunderstanding going one. I believe some people thought the the second batch is numbered literally ”#above 500" , while it's actually "#5xx".
Not that it makes that much difference.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Daniel Silk on Feb 29, 2020 12:12:56 GMT 1, The goal was to build brand Banksy even bigger through his name being affiliated with a low level charity to make it appear more authentic and organic while creating an even larger demand for his goods and services and increasing the value of his art in the primary and secondary markets. That goal has been achieved through the amazing marketing of GNP. The puppet master has created the stage and us the puppets marched in line like good little boys and girls. It is always fun to be a consistent and loyal pawn in someone else's marketing program. We can assume that his 4 quarter profits are up and all is well. Well said 👏 I just hope Banksy realises that we know what’s happening and how the game is being played.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by spanksy on Feb 29, 2020 12:28:41 GMT 1, Guys. We are supporting a new business to employ those in need. Those discussing edition sizes and secondary sales, see past this forum and recognise the larger cause. I expect many more will be sold, and that’s great news for those it’s aiming to help.

That's exactly what I thought. Don't know what a "new low" means though. Don't need to be a resseler to mind the number of an edition. Feels like this forum is getting a little to paranoid about flippers

Not sure about the “we” part of that post Dan. I suspect Wear’s (and your) view is far from universal on here. Unless by “we” you just meant you and Wear.

All I see here is a comment by a very bitter and cynical individual.
Claiming Banksy is supporting Love Welcome to build his brand is ridicoulous. And I'm pretty sure he really doesn't need to create a larger demand for his art.
Be glad he is trying to raise money for a good cause and make his work available at the same time for people that can't afford his prints.
Rather baffles me that the founder and one of his guardians are so negative about their idol... Bitterness you didn't win at the GDP lottery ?

This argument from both of you is pathetic and reeks of entitlement and bitterness at not getting anything from GDP. Banksy did a charity collaboration to boost his brand? He gets more attention for doing a single outdoor work. How could he possibly need a larger market when everything he produces sells? Your argument makes no sense.

Expect a third batch (maybe) and then a new fundraiser product. £1200 or whatever, is cheap for secondary if that's what they are, they'll only go up after the yanks have eaten.

Is there any Perspex boxes out there? i was thinking about ordering one of those perspex boxes but can't find the link anymore. This thread is a nightmare to read back Been to the framer today, he advised against perspex as it would get statically loaded and would possible look bad after a few months (i.e. has to be cleaned a lot). We spoke about framing it and if we should put a glass in front or not. We decided against glass but were not finished as I need to speak to the guy who is framing it as he doesnt know how he would mount the mat onto a board. So I have to go again on Wednesday
Frame wise we have picked out a black frame with white / off white back (possibly wooden plate). Frame is also available a bit broader of course, but I think I'll choose the thinnest one (see picture) and maybe leave some space that the black comes out.
Will give an update after I spoke to the chief framer on how to execute the whole thing.

Could you please follow up when you know how they’ll mount the mat to the board? I’ll likely just instruct my framer to paint by numbers according to your instructions, so the more detail the better. Also, like that frame choice a lot - nothing to draw attention away from the mat.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Fast Eddie on Feb 29, 2020 18:47:33 GMT 1, Good point. As you know, probably these ladies will get better at making these mats, so you can expect a faster cycle this time, and even faster in the next one. I hope they'll have work for three-four years at least, to create a mimimum of security for them and their families.
I am kind of ambivalent about these workers being trained in a job not really portable to other sectors. The trade-off is always what the refugees can do now versus the costly and time consuming process of forming them for EU labor markets tomorrow. I am sympathetic to "an egg today".
The love welcomes folks are obviously not profit maximizing sharks, so they just sell what they produce and then diligently move on when they can. You won't build a housewares retail empire that way, but it is a legitimate choice.
