Spoke too soon! Can't believe how many people have been refunded!! Faile must have been seriously naive and not manned the drop. It wouldn't really be fair on the first 100 if an oversold edition was produced but props to Faile for giving priority on the second. Maybe they'll increase the edition size? If not, as long as they get their house in order for the second, the third should be back to normal.

6-7 years and counting
one day they will twig.
if they just used sage page like POW it would be impossible to oversell with the cart system. it is not rocket science

If this is the same of eb and giant then the oversale would seem to be huge. If all these people get 1st dibs on the next release then the chance of anyone else getting one are very slim.

possibly implies there may be more than 1 print on the next $150 drop?? Hopefully we will find out soon enough, 12 planned over the next year and "we'll see from there" so quite possibly the chance of a double dip for Xmas =]

Faile would pretty much need to put by a whole edition aside just to cover the amount that have been refunded. Interesting to see what they will do.

even that's not a flawless system, remember nola overselling somehow (hence the grey rain edition)

At the rate we are going now, the only people who will be able to score the next 2 releases are the ones who were refunded. There has to be a better way to handle this...

Knowing Faile they'll come up with something to sort people out without compromising availability of other $150 editions. But at the end of the day it's a bunfight, some you win some you lose..

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Martin DK on Nov 15, 2012 16:02:24 GMT 1, Nice one from Faile. $150 is a great price which means a lot more can enjoy their art including myself
Sad that some missed out due to overselling. Nice of Faile to give those first dibs next time.
However, how do you know already that you'll like the next one? Or are we past that? :/
Personally this one wasn't for me, so didn't try. However, I hope there will be one I like down the road, I would think there's a good chance with 12 releases (unless 100's of people have first dibs)

They'll have to figure something out other than giving people that missed this priority on the next. You win some, you lose some- that is this game. Have priorities, and advantages on future releases isn't fair. I've been trying to bag a Banksy on release for (I don't know) 8+ years, and have NEVER once got one- POW: "sorry". I'm fine with that, it's the game we're in, and maybe someday I'll score.

And let's face it, it sounds like there will be many more opportunities ! It gets a bit stupid sometimes with people writing s**tty emails and complaining. I don't know why POW do as much as they do to compensate people.

If you haven't been able to get a Banksy from source since 2003/2004 you're just not very good.
