Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by spanksy on Dec 12, 2009 23:55:30 GMT 1, Sounds crackers but was actually a really good night. Good to meet a few forumites - Grafik (Richy00) Spanksy and their mate. Never got your names fellas but will look out for you in the next queue. Also thanks to the chap behind me for the cuppa this morning and for the two chaps behind him who sorted me out with a herbal remedy to send me off to the land of nod last night. Wish POW would invest in some BRP tubes tho. Gonna take a while to flatten this baby out

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by barnsy on Dec 12, 2009 23:56:33 GMT 1, Just wanted to wish you all well. I was in London yesterday and was actually doing a trade with a forum member in Shorditch who was going to attend the q at 2pm in the afternoon. I had a look 30 in the queue with a guanteed print, and I passed! Why did i pass, because this whole thing has become about money and not the art. Its not that money is not important and no doubt a lot in the q where very much in need, as am I, however I appreciate the art more than the money and thats why I passed.............. and i did have a hat and gloves!! Peace out........

Personally, i think thats a great suggestion but it would make it unfair for people who want to become "serious collectors" from grabbing a banksy for quite a while unless they buy via the secondary market

everyone has to start somewhere... perhaps those who wanted to start being a serious collector could start off with other items and establish some credentials with the gallery in question and "work your way up". Otherwise if you want to buy a Banksy straight up prior to building a relationship with a gallery, just grab it off the secondary market. This is a very normal process/procedure for galleries and collectors all over the world......
this "scalping" game that has been created is just ugly and to me at least, really suggests a level of disrespect for art in general by the originators. It can easily be stopped yet nothing is done.

Personally i dont agree, if you want buy a banksy as your first piece, go buy one. You shouldnt have to buy other art to PROVE yourself to a gallery.
And again, we're not really fussed, we buy the majority of work on the secondary market and we're happy doing this.
Good luck to everyone,
All the best

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by Coach on Dec 13, 2009 1:46:03 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.
This is my favorite post of the day - utterly chuffed for you iloveart... Wish I had been there. Enjoy your print buddy! c

It can easily be stopped yet nothing is done. My understanding of the lotto was them trying to reduce the scalping of the prints. As such, it made it all the more bizarre as to why they'd then release a print in such a way.
I wish they'd just stick them online and stop with all the fun and games. Give us a date when they'll drop and be done with it.

Gallerys do there best to make it fair, so pow, imo have put one set at the shop and the other as a lotto online.
I would consider that to be 50/50

I'm sure there are many folks today who are ecstatic that POW released the prints in store.
However, when the prints were released online, there were far more members picking them up. Granted there were some who seemed to constantly miss out and I hope some of those got lucky today. But on the whole, from I've read it's been more disappointment. Yet the numbers appearing on ebay if anything have increased. That should tell you that the system isnโt working.

Setting a time, place and date is better than selling online because if you really want one, come join the line and if you join it earlier enough you'll get a print.
The online competition, you need to be sat at a computer for god knows when, waiting for an email,pressing F5 hoping for the best, im sure you got more chance lining up imo.
