Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by slowmo on Nov 25, 2008 20:07:49 GMT 1, I wouldn't say that, the system is wide open to abuse, it's all too easy to get family members, friends, etc, to register on your behalf. Try getting family members, friends, etc to stump up a ยฃ500 deposit. Me thinks you would have less takers than you imagine. 
Not if you tell them you'll double their money (while you keep double again)? Fair Q is a flippers paradise.

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by Ruggs on Nov 25, 2008 20:40:04 GMT 1, It doesn't matter what type of selling system you use to sell prints, if a flipper wins one there's not a awful lot you can do about that. Almost impossible to stop unless publishers are willing to weed out the flippers and ban them for life. You can also get all your family and friends to register to enhance your chances of getting a print(s), but that would be a logistical nightmare to organise everyone at the same time and wait for a print to drop and buy on your behalf. And if you didn't win a Faile FairQ print, but you mate won three. Well that's what it's all about... PURE LUCK!

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by ecb on Nov 25, 2008 21:45:40 GMT 1, Your right. I think what they have works good enough. If they can anticipate duplicate orders for the same print #, now they know to hold back x amount of prints for those dups. I like their process. Their site loads every time without timing out. I dont think they need to change much.

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by talisman on Nov 25, 2008 22:49:16 GMT 1, Friday buyer, just had my money refunded. The whole thing is a pile of sh1te! What makes me less important than someone who bought on a Thursday. No email from POW with an explanation at all. Nothing!! How f**king unprofessional are POW. They will be getting a piece of my mind. They should not be putting out statements on a forum, they should be putting official statements on thier official website and contacting each customer individually.
Good luck to whoever got my print, which I bought in good faith!
Thanks for nothing POW!

POW have said nothing to me! They have released a statement on a forum that I mightn't of known existed!
POW say (on the said statements) that they will accomodate Thursday buyers who missed out next time. Whats that all about?? What about the Friday buyers? It's all bollox IMO..

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by Deleted on Nov 25, 2008 23:23:58 GMT 1, So you read the statement and know now then? The people who got one on Friday got it by mistake, end of. i know it's easy for me to say that but it's a fact, the edition that was for sale was only on-line on Thursday, what you got was a mistake due to either human or computer error or both. i'm sure it's a bitter pill to swallow and all that, if you had got one on Thursday you will get the Nola print or next dibs on the next Banksy print, that's it in a nutshell, isn't it?

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by dmandpenfold on Nov 25, 2008 23:25:21 GMT 1,  I wish mate  Not sure where you're getting your 100,000 figure from (thin air perhaps) but administratively fairq is cleaner and everyone has the same chance of getting a print. I've applied for Faile prints in both fairq lotteries and got lucky once. Prior to that I was F5ing with everyone else and got sent a Hits and Misses print. Prefer the one I won on fairq
yes the 100,000 is just a number plucked from mammals pants ;D but i was illustrating the popoularity of the draw not to mention the system is very open to abuse so not really fair.
I guess we all have different luck with different systems, with fairq i have entered 2 q's and hit once for a faile, with F5 i got 4 banksy prints and missed one so i can't complain, you take your chances along with everyone else i reckon, F5 seems to be more interactive, fun even in a sadistic sort of way

Banksy NOLA Print on POW, by talisman on Nov 25, 2008 23:34:00 GMT 1, No, its unacceptable. I wouldn't mind so much if they had contacted me direct, but no, nothing!
So the people on Thursday who didn't get a print because they were allocated to someone else are getting first dibs on the next Banksy print, so obviously they were buying a print that was not available just like me. So why am I not being compensated? And all other Friday buyers for that matter?

i personally dont want to see this thread locked. lots of people are still waiting to hear from POW on if they are getting print or not(including myself). POW havent been great at communication with individuals and it is important that everyone waiting to hear is kept up to date. i have only heard about the possibility of getting a print due to the friday refunds via a statement given to SIlky on this thread.

I totally understand where your coming from mate, but this thread is going round in circles, and no one is any the wiser, if you email POW you will get a response just hold tight.
