ok people - have a think about this.
*as a suggested print release from pow to stem the
flow of ... system meltdown*
POW put up a release - they do not say how many there
will be but only that it will be available on a given timeframe
starting at ..lets say mon.
terms of engagement as they have now....
They decide - in advance - to close it off on wed.
So we, if we're keen, select our print - or leave it.
Then just like that it closes on wed - without us of course knowing
when timewise or how many in the print run.
So we dont get to know how large the run is - which if we like it we don't
mind and the scalpers likewise - only they run the risk as before of
being chopped by the ebay/rat-catching software.
The longer the timeframe the larger the run - the less the scalpers make etc - not forgetting - prints they want to have larger runs - either due to
quality price - feedback etc..
I'd reckon it'd work (might do ... might not..) - oh and of course we'd
know the size of the run when we get the print
oh and as for signed prints - they could address this by ... * not* putting signed prints up at the start - but only
during the timeframe - so like before if you're lucky you're lucky - if you buy unsigned you're out - if you hang on you might be lucky..
