Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by Daniel Silk on Dec 12, 2009 21:37:06 GMT 1, Flipper This, Ebay That. Price is kept low, partly because of Banksy's ethics, partly incredibly shrewd business. His rise to fame in the "commercial" art world was not just down to artistic merit but because of the massive demand and rise in price of his work, ebay, auctions etc. This wonderfully simple yet extremely clever way of creating hype; keep price low, generate ridiculous amount of talk, want, desire, has and will continue to serve him and POW very well. (for example just see Micallef, Neate, Faile, all brilliant and very successful artists, but since the profit was taken out of there print releases so the public frenzy and desire behind their work wilted, unfortunate but true.) Lets face it, it's really not just a pretty picture anymore and has not been for a while. many of us even with the best intentions of framing or keeping know that once purchasing this print we have by default gained x amount in financial assets. So please calm it on the flipper this flipper that grumblings, OK the Organized syndicates are pretty annoying, but can you really blame average Joe this side of Christmas in a recession, camping in the elements braving the wonderfully pissed world of E1 for a grand, I mean really? Unless of course you do not have to worry about the bills etc luckily for you these can be seen merely as brilliant pieces of well executed witty art, unfortunately as much as I love my art collection, I am not in the position to overlook there value, they know there place. Congratulations to all that got one. Chippy
Very well said!

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by grafik on Dec 12, 2009 21:41:56 GMT 1, im still really annoyed with the 3 people i know in the 130's/140's who flipped theirs minutes after getting them to a tout for 1150.
if they were going to be selling them that cheap i would have got them to put them on here so some people could get a relative bargin.

If someone honestly needed 1K to pay the bills and keep the wolf from the door I wouldn't blame them for a blatant flip. I just don't think people in such dire needs are really looking at buying art to flip.. Anyway who cares about flippers in this thread really?! Anyone who braved last night gets the thumbs up from me Dire need, poverty, new TV, Holiday (see what I did there, I'm like Nas or something) It makes no difference, 1k is 1k and 1k is a lot of money to most... do what you like with it, spend it fags and trips to the Zoo for all I care... Footnote: Although I would recommended a few pound be spent on a trip to Tayyabs, a wonderful Pakistani curry house, rated one of the best in the UK (and its dirt cheap making it flipper paradise), just round the corner to POW, and guess what on Fridays and Saturdays if you have not booked a table you have to Que to eat, how great is that, (just like a Banksy), for up to 3 hours, get down there now and there might still be a ticket for the Masala fish, Turmeric colourway, grilled edition of 150, spiced by the chef.
How many did you get mate? 3 or 4?

Even after I highlighted the baseless validity of your schoolboy jibes, you find no argument or response other than the previous mentioned.
I request you read my first post and take what I said on board the silly tugboat of yours.
You know nothing of me, my interests or collection.

Shout out to all the forum members lined up in the 60's and 70's. Great to meet you all. Cant for the life of me remember your forum names (if i got them at all).
Props to my lovely wife who saved a few lives by dropping down some camping chairs and sleeping bags (rural camo in an urban environment) at midnight for all the suckers (myself included) who dropped everything to get there from work with no preparation WHATSOEVER!!
NO CHANCE i would ever sell this print. Dont think i have earned anything quite as much as this!!
Great experience. Big up Joe & Billy and the Savage Nomads!!
Hugs.

DC Took a punt and traveled up from Bristol yesterday at 2pm, joined the queue at 5pm at position 66, got back to Bristol today at 2pm - 24 hour round trip and 17 hours in the queue.
Was an absolute ball - enjoyed the experience with some great guys in the 60-70's. Massive thanks to Mick (and his wife) for the chairs and everest sleeping bag. Also a big-up to Chris, Steve, Chuckey etc who kept us entertained. Have to say the locals were very inquisitive and very friendly.
Well chuffed with the print which will be hanging pride of place on my wall. I think we should say a big thank you to POW for organising this really well. The queue numbers were given out and everything went really smoothly.

Good post, hadnt really thought about the price point before, but makes perfect sense, great marketing strategy.
Cant argue with you on the rest of the post either. It could make a big difference to a families Christmas having a bonus grand in the bin.

My night was spent looking on here for updates before my little one decided he wanted to go off every hour on the hour between 1-7am. As such sitting in my replica scott of the antarctic jacket and some cardboard with a bottle of whisky, Stellas and visual entertainment sounds rather attractive.
The sleep deprivation combined with hang over would be quite something! Well done all, next year, should it happen again, I'll do it. A festival without music.

Totally agree with you.
We've seen many curious people (what are you queuing for?) and it was funny to see their face and support for us auditioning for the X factor...
Despite the cold and lack of comfort, I really enjoyed the experience and was surrounded by great people and forum members. Thanks to the ones who shared their duvets with me ;D. We had good laughs.
After all these festivities of great art and shows in the last couple of weeks, this was the icing on the cake for my Christmas.
A Massive thank you to POW for the smooth organisation and making it safe for us with the security guards.

Also a big-up to Chris, Steve, Chuckey etc who kept us entertained. Have to say the locals were very inquisitive and very friendly. Well chuffed with the print which will be hanging pride of place on my wall. I think we should say a big thank you to POW for organising this really well. The queue numbers were given out and everything went really smoothly. Totally agree with you. We've seen many curious people (what are you queuing for?) and it was funny to see their face and support for us auditioning for the X factor... Despite the cold and lack of comfort, I really enjoyed the experience and was surrounded by great people and forum members. Thanks to the ones who shared their duvets with me ;D. We had good laughs. After all these festivities of great art and shows in the last couple of weeks, this was the icing on the cake for my Christmas. A Massive thank you to POW for the smooth organisation and making it safe for us with the security guards.

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by buffin on Dec 12, 2009 22:50:04 GMT 1, Had a good time though Commercial St was a bit of a shock to the system!
Was with DMF (many thanks mate) in the queue and have to say it was well worth 24 hours of discomfort in order to get this print on the wall. I hope the memories will help to make this a keeper for many. Many thanks to POW for a well organised and managed event and the Turkish restaurant on the corner, which stayed open late and provided some free teas and hot food as well as adding a Banksy special to their menu.
Much respect to Cam and his tardis of a tent at the front of the queue for doing 2 nights. Also his patience in answering the constant, "what are you here for" question!

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by distinctivevision on Dec 12, 2009 22:57:38 GMT 1, im still really annoyed with the 3 people i know in the 130's/140's who flipped theirs minutes after getting them to a tout for 1150. if they were going to be selling them that cheap i would have got them to put them on here so some people could get a relative bargin.
How do you know this? Cos we would of paid that as well as others would of.

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by grantb on Dec 12, 2009 23:16:41 GMT 1, Ok so when the news went out I panicked grabbed a coat, didnt shower and just ran out my front door. Ran from station to station and arrived around 4pm to what i thought i was going to be too late. But what a feeling to be 68th in queue and guaranteed a print
I also met my neighbours grafik (who i already knew) and darrenreaply.
Just got to say darren is one of the nicest guys ive met, a true gent ! I owe you a drink for the hot chocolate
Also met butterfly & mammal along with many other forum members and shared many laughs. Not being able to sleep due to, ridiculous amounts of questions, needing a piss, noise, alcohol, teenage love affairs, and crackheads.
Just wanna say thanks to everyone i met to make the queue that more enjoyable. It was amazing because if you really wanted the banksy you could of made it in time, its just if you wanted to make the effort to turn up. After I turned up it wasnt a crazy rush like i normally feel when going to any pow event.
Hope you all enjoy the print as much as I will. Love it.
