POW are a joke, by misteraitch on Mar 29, 2007 23:17:59 GMT 1, I think what irked me the most was eventually getting a print in my basket and then spending so long having to re-enter my details due to traffic that the print was removed 
Not that I generate the level of interest that Bansky does but I think that's why I like getting people to email my site rather than having a buy now - refund later method. At least I know who's first in line and who I need to send a payment requests to
That said - congratulations to those of you luck enough to bag one...here's hoping that one day I'll bag myself one

POW are a joke, by michaela on Mar 30, 2007 9:21:19 GMT 1, 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.

POW are a joke, by blacksy on Mar 30, 2007 9:27:03 GMT 1, I even spoke to someone there last night who told me it wasnt worth keep trying for a Banksy cos they'd all sodl out!
Well and truly Gutted, - for the sake of staying up another couple of hours i would have bagged myself one.
The bay will be flooded with them in a matter of weeks, and we'll all be considering stepping up £600+ for one.
Had the same as most people on here, one in the basket, payment, crash, none in basket - Hopes dashed!
I think even POW were overwhelmed with the reponse, my F5 key is nearly bare form all the excessive use yesterday!
Oh well - lets hope that P.O.W. put out some more prints soon, so we can all try again!

The tie up with POW must be linked to the fact that Banksy's agent and long time friend Steve Lazarides partly owns POW.
As for people being pissed off from not getting a Banksy print, I bet it's about 35% want it for the love of Banksy and 65% want it for the love of money IMHO sad isn't it.
As for the people on this forum I'd say the great majority want it because of there love of Banksy, or at least I'd like to think so.

Yes it has been discussed here before the most major shareholder by far is Jamie Hewlett.

POW are a joke, by robxxx7 on Mar 30, 2007 13:41:35 GMT 1, POW are a joke for assuming that the lottery of pressing F5 upteen times is a fair way of doing this... A fairer way has got to be for anyone interested to pre-register with POW, then just pick names out of the hat (or computer) and then offer to the people on the list start at 1 then work your way down... saves having to crash websites, sitting there wondering ..oohh i have one in my basket then the site crashes and then takes you 20 minutes to reload ...and you have then lost what is in your basket ... Come on POW it ain't rocket science ...
Good luck to those who were lucky enough to get one .. i was hoping to bag one ..but alas not to be ..anyway i move onwards and upwards and will keep looking at other prints ..plenty of good artwork out there

POW are a joke, by kingdomcome on Mar 30, 2007 14:13:38 GMT 1, 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...

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.
