Does it matter that I was trying to get access to the site from the U.S.? I never could get the thing to work until after everything was sold out.

Pretty unimpressive - POW are clearly out of their depth with the demand for Banksy product. I'm sure that they could have spent a few more quid on hiring the right hardware and software configuration to ensure that their website worked - the cost could have easily been covered by raising the price of the prints by a few quid.

I had two different prints on three seperate occasions appear in my shopping basket, but then had the connection fail. That's really tough, because my 'success' in bagging a print has subsequently failed as a result of a poor hardware/software system. If they had an effective system which actually worked then the disappointment would be diminished a little.

There are plenty of examples of online selling sytems that work under intense pressure; I will be up at 9.00am on Sunday to try to get my Glastonbury tickets - along with several hundred thousand others. If I don't get any tickets, I'll be comforted by the fact that Michael Eavis has worked really hard to ensure a level playing field for all potential festival goers. I'm sorry to say that POW have not shown anything like that level of commitment to their customers.

I'm even sorrier to say that Banksy is probably pissing himself laughing at this whole debacle. Yers, we're morons, but some of us were the morons that were buying prints four years ago at £75 a pop. I bet he couldn't believe his luck back then, but now he's just riding on it.

I can't believe that these guys have actually got away with this s**t.

while painting in antwerp,well should of been painting but was sat on my ass watching a dvd of operation good guys;waited for the 3pm deadline and had zero luck getting on the poow site;even had my g:f in brussels trying to get online and dad back home in england not one could get on the pow sh1te oops site, even tho the losers that we are all sat there at 2:30pm GMT waiting for the 3pm circus to begin grrrrrrrrr

ps how did you do the red heart?? kinda impressed by that pizza rat,

.. red fat marker ..

...aaaand .. if the situation won't change soon .. we'll have to go out and put some Bansky's back in the street ourself .

Hi, I posted a message yesterdat '' POW licence to print money''....

Which kind of reiterates what people are saying here. I cant imagine its in POW interests to make the availibility of Banksy and other artists work easier and fairer to attain.

Why would they make it so if they can potentially have two lines in a cheap rag such as 'Demand for Banksy prints crashes website'! 'Banksy, sold out in 2hours' etc etc....

What I feel strongly about (and feel free to read my post as I think I make the point clearer there) is how this shambles is run.

Basically when money is being exchanges for good running into the hudreds of thousands then surely POW should be trying to run things a bit more proffesionally.

I saw posts on here yesterday with people asking if anyone knew what the prints would cost / clearer understanding of what the rules were....etc. Why is this info unavailable BEFORE sale... common sense you would think....

Its basically a case of POW holding all the cards and they will choose to deal them to us how they like...like it or lump it...

robxxx7 i dont get this pressing F5? ive seen this mentioned a few times on the threads what does it mean? hmm im not really as thick has i sound or read

maybe pow are to busy counting there money and laughing at us to even both to run a professional operation:
someone correct me if im wrong, pow is the only outlet to buy banksy prints from unless you wanna pay krazy money on ebay??

sad to say but im slowly going off the whole banksy experince with clowns like pow selling hes stuff, or am ijust still bitter and twisted after yesterdays sham grrrrrr

yip im thinking the same, who would you say is the next nemo to find?

im liking dolks stuff a lot www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php/Dolk

saying that its a pow vibe with buying hes stuff to

is it true david icke is a director of pow?

Tried yesterday.

Tried for Applause.

Got some stuff at the ghetto a few years ago.

But I to am starting to feel that somebody really is starting to take the proverbial.

Yes its a business and they have a right to make money. But. I dont think I can be arsed with the whole bunfight scenario any more. For the sake of an extra days wages, go to ebay and cut out the grief. Am i then fueling carpet bagger?

I say start your own hype.

07 has to be the year of Speto?

Oh. Sorry for my past lurking tendencies.
