Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by tmccarthy41 on Nov 15, 2012 17:10:37 GMT 1, I've been trying to bag a Banksy on release for (I don't know) 8+ years, and have NEVER once got one If you haven't been able to get a Banksy from source since 2003/2004 you're just not very good.

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by The Origin on Nov 15, 2012 17:32:05 GMT 1, Well my position is:

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Deleted on Nov 15, 2012 19:31:28 GMT 1, Should have kept your gob shut Ruggs.
A conversation between you and Faile is OK - between you and Faile - but to publicly broadcast this on the forum puts Faile in a difficult situation. IMO.
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. I would agree with you in most cases but I think the difference is with this episode is that a lot of people like myself tried time and time again from 5pm UK time but the website crashed on numerous occasions. Finally at around 5.20pm it appeared they were still available so I carried on and managed to keep one carted and finally checked out. Confirmation of purchase e-mail followed immediately saying this: Hi Mark,
We just received your Faile order. We will review and prepare your order for shipment, and will send you another email when we ship your order.Only to be sent a further e-mail sometime later, think mine was around 10.30pm UK time. This is how it was worded. Hello Mark,
Thank you so much for your purchase of the Tonight We Faile print. We really appreciate the support.
Unfortunately, the print oversold and your purchase came in after the edition was sold out. We feel badly to have to email on this but we want to honor the edition size.
Please understand it's tough for the site to handle a certain amount of traffic and these things happen despite our best efforts to prevent them.
We have some great prints coming up in this series and hope one of those will be heading your way.
Thanks again for the purchase and apologies for the refund.
Sincerely, PatrickI just sent a polite e-mail back stating my disappointment and got this further reply. Apologies again.
Agree with you on giving priority the next time around.
We'll sort something out there for the next release and let you know about priority access.
Thanks for being understanding.
All the best, PatrickDon't know if they will do a priority access for the next release especially now so many have been left disappointed. Have to wait and see!

I think they are trying their best to make up for a mistake. I thought I had got one. Turns out I haven't.ive the image and it would have been on my wall. But worse things happen at sea. I am grateful for the chance re the next print. If I don't like it as much, ce la vis.

Definitely gutted as I thought I had finally bagged my first Faile, however, I don't think it would be right to give those of us who were refunded first dibs next time around.

Pleased to be on the sneak peak list for the next prints and it is a nice gesture from faile for sure.
I think there have probably been hundreds of refunds and the next few editions are gonna be snapped up by the 'refund crew' before they even go on sale.

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Guest on Nov 15, 2012 22:13:57 GMT 1, Its like a thread for whinging schoolgirls.
Faile do not owe anyone anything. Tesco do not give you first dibs on the next fresh loaf of bread because you missed the first batch. So funny to read.
No one is entitled to anything, but if they do then they have already stated what it is... A heads up on the next print. Thats it.
You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

Not meaning to sound funny and im sure theres a good reason for it... But after sending an email, posting on here and then messaging on facebook i still have had no reply to a very friendly message sent to MDS. It would be nice to get at least a little response. Nothing worse than those who don't get back to you after spending a little of your time contacting them. Grinds the gears a little bit. Just saying.
Pot, kettle, dickhead....

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by chickendog on Nov 15, 2012 22:48:48 GMT 1, Too many cry babies! I tried for this and got the refund email. Unless you've never bought an art print before...this happens. Site issues: check! Oversold: check! Something else you had a problem with: check! Happens elsewhere too. Did Banksy/Fairey/whomever go to the trouble of offering a "Hits and Crashes" print or trying to do something to appease their angry customers!?
Faile go out of their way more than any other artist I can think of and every release all they get is "price is too high; price it lower for the real fans" and here they've finally done that and still get shat on.
Let's face it: the reason there are so many whiners complaining about the high prices or not getting the low-priced print is that there are a LOT of Faile fans out there. Most just can't afford their small editions. It's nice to see that wiith this release Faile finally gets some "respect" from the "true fans". If you missed out what does it really matter if you can't flip it or frame it? You'll live. It's an art print. A piece of paper. A pretty picture. Maybe even get the next one to flip (or frame). But nobody deserves any sort of compensation from Faile. Be a grown-up. Get over it. Send an email to Faile saying how much you like their art and thank them for trying to please their fans. Make today a days of thanks for the Faile guys. Thanks, Faile!

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by pcant on Nov 15, 2012 23:01:13 GMT 1, Just got the refund email as well, some 29 hours after my confirmation email. Well, feces. Here's hoping for better luck next time and perhaps a better web site for Faile. And congrats to any lucky folks who did really get one, looking forward to seeing some framed.

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by shechtmr on Nov 15, 2012 23:07:37 GMT 1, Too many cry babies! I tried for this and got the refund email. Unless you've never bought an art print before...this happens. Site issues: check! Oversold: check! Something else you had a problem with: check! Happens elsewhere too. Did Banksy/Fairey/whomever go to the trouble of offering a "Hits and Crashes" print or trying to do something to appease their angry customers!? Faile go out of their way more than any other artist I can think of and every release all they get is "price is too high; price it lower for the real fans" and here they've finally done that and still get shat on. Let's face it: the reason there are so many whiners complaining about the high prices or not getting the low-priced print is that there are a LOT of Faile fans out there. Most just can't afford their small editions. It's nice to see that wiith this release Faile finally gets some "respect" from the "true fans". If you missed out what does it really matter if you can't flip it or frame it? You'll live. It's an art print. A piece of paper. A pretty picture. Maybe even get the next one to flip (or frame). But nobody deserves any sort of compensation from Faile. Be a grown-up. Get over it. Send an email to Faile saying how much you like their art and thank them for trying to please their fans. Make today a days of thanks for the Faile guys. Thanks, Faile!
After receiving my refund email at 3:45 p.m. the day following the drop, I responded to the Patricks saying "thank your for the kind email and such is life. Cant wait to see what you guys put out next." I don't think I (or anyone else who got refunded) deserve to get priority on the next drop and don't think it is really fair to the rest of their fans.

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by connecta1 on Nov 15, 2012 23:08:29 GMT 1, ...some 28.5hrs later, refund email just landed
Thought I'd been lucky and scored... in the middle of a busy day at work, spent 45 minutes on the phone to the bank, consoled myself that at least there was a print in the post... hey ho.
Faile at least attempting to be being gentlemen about it, Freerange taking advantage of other people's disappointment to behave like a f*cking dick. Some things never change.

Hope it's not an image of a bird in stockings taking a wizz in a urinal.

Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Guest on Nov 15, 2012 23:41:42 GMT 1, Its like a thread for whinging schoolgirls. Faile do not owe anyone anything. Tesco do not give you first dibs on the next fresh loaf of bread because you missed the first batch. So funny to read. No one is entitled to anything, but if they do then they have already stated what it is... A heads up on the next print. Thats it. You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir! Not meaning to sound funny and im sure theres a good reason for it... But after sending an email, posting on here and then messaging on facebook i still have had no reply to a very friendly message sent to MDS. It would be nice to get at least a little response. Nothing worse than those who don't get back to you after spending a little of your time contacting them. Grinds the gears a little bit. Just saying. Pot, kettle, dickhead....
How on earth are those quotes even related. One is talking about people whining about getting refunded, the other is enquiring as to if messages are getting through.
You might as well quoted a potato.
And how old are you? 5? Dickhead? Grow up.

Different circumstances.
1. There were no gangs with dogs and knives threatening your cup of tea and mouse at 5pm yesterday.
2. It was not the payment system which fucked up but the pow website crashing when payment was being processed, so it did not go through properly.
No one ever got refunded then moaned about it.
