Banksy Welcome Mat, by Dive Jedi on Mar 2, 2020 18:28:10 GMT 1, It never occured to you people copy each other photos ? Instead of making their own picsโฆ. No because it's against ebay rules for one and for two why copy others pics if you have a mat in the first place. Each mat is hand made and the ones on ebay look fake considering the symetry of the lettering. For all anyone knows they could be photos hopped. These mats are so easy to fake physically too. Your logic is people don't use other people's pics, because it's against eBay rules. So you conclude they are selling fakes - which is also against eBay rules.
Right.....

Banksy Welcome Mat, by moron on Mar 2, 2020 18:34:28 GMT 1, Why do those two ebay listings have exact identical lettering on the mats and why is the lettering perfectly symetrical. The Love Welcome mats lettering is all over the place and no two are the same because they are hand made. It won't be long before fakes are being sold on ebay etc if not allready. Buyer beware These are stock photos, because they don't have them in hand yet, and most likely from round 2. So anyone bidding won't actually know or receive this item for 5 months most likely. I think it would be hard to fake these... between multiple receipts, label, number, box, wrapping, ect. Of course some may toss those which will make them harder to identify over time. I do imagine that these being an official GDP product may be some way recorded for future verification. Not sure what the numbering system would be for outside of that. I think if someone has an actual mat in hand with the packing and paperwork. It would be very easy to reproduce and look convincing enough to the unwary. Blank door mats are available to buy cheaply.
Better to order one from Love Welcomes so they continue earning rather than from a flipper. In my book anyway.

Don't get me wrong there are lots of scammers on Ebay , buying and also selling.
How hard is it for someone to take photos of the actual mat they are selling?
and yes copying photos and copying descriptions by sellers would put me off buying from them.
They expect to make a large quick profit and cannot even be bothered to photograph the thing they are selling.

They are selling on the basis that they will forward them on when they receive them, in several months time. Have they actually paid for the mats in the first place? Do they have photos of their proof of payment in the listings descriptions?
Should Love Welcomes block these type of middle men messers?

"The demand for these beautiful mats is high and there are more people on the waiting list than mats available. Our plans is that this is not the last run of 500 to go on sale"

Maybe an agreed upon amount up front, and then LW saying, "why can't we continue to make them?"
The supply they're referencing may be the labels provided by Banksy (GDP), in addition to Banksy's approval.
Even with uncertainty, they still have attention being brought to their charity and cause, so while the next batch is being produced, it wouldn't make any sense to come out say production was stopping regardless of whether this was the last run or not. So the vagueness is serving a possible purpose.

I think you might be right.
It sounds like LW would love to produce more but may be waiting on the go ahead/approval from GP? I do believe that 1000 was the original agreement between the parties and now this is being reviewed.
Just my opinion based on the language coming from LW.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Mar 3, 2020 9:12:10 GMT 1, just want to say - mine arrived. Here's my review.. AHEM.
# within 500. Yay! It means I'm a good person, or a free print is coming or I'm a greedy t**t etc...
It's not that big. I think it's 50% smaller than the regular doormats. I think that's intentional.
It's meant to look like a doormat. But it isn't sized or made to function like one. It's a statement. Not a doormat.
And it's beautiful.
The photos don't do it justice.
You need to see the texture of the vest - and the buckles - they do look used.
You need to see how the whole thing comes together - you'd know it's hand-stitched - when someone hand make something for you - and it's clearly hand made - and made with deep feelings - it really is poignant.
The ironically happy/friendly bright orange font, made by some of the most troubled people, using some of the saddest things as materials โ the word "Welcome" will take on so many meanings in this context.
Just wow.
Most Banksy's work are witty commentaries of the state of this fuck up world.
But this one is actually moving.
5 out 5 stars. Highly recommended. (Where's my free print?)

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Rouen Cathedral on Mar 3, 2020 13:36:51 GMT 1, Personally I think the way to go is to display this off the wall. Whether itโs a enclosed coffee table or set up in protection on the floor like a door mat. These just donโt look that great hanging vertically on a wall to me. Feels like they need to be horizontal.
