Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by veralynn on Dec 13, 2009 9:41:53 GMT 1, How else are people supposed to pay for Chistmas
Precisely!
Absolute no brainer for people this one - product that is sold at c 30% of it's true market value from one of the most famous living artists is going to attract a little attention....and the opportunity to make a grand, tax free (for 12 hours discomfort) is appealing to most, me included.
POW apparently have the 'shit' list to stop this activity and then release a piece via a means which is slightly contradictory - I dont get it....
Simple solution to this of course and release at market value (or nearer to it), the old argument around getting the art into the hands of the 'people' doesn't wash with me - if you can rationalise paying £500 for a piece of paper then you can probably afford £1500 - sell at this price point and make an additional £525K for charity (that's quite a lot of money).
Seems pretty straightforward to me - the queue will be much, much longer next time around (if there's a next time) once we all tell our mates and so on and the Mail On Sunday have done their bit....

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by dodge on Dec 13, 2009 9:55:55 GMT 1, Do people really think this print will ever fetch anything close to the 3k pounds people on the bay are asking. Would anyone really take this pos print over a s&s that could be gotten of half that price?
Exactly. Anyone who pays over £1500 for this print is in my opinion, mental.

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by veralynn on Dec 13, 2009 10:26:52 GMT 1, Just had a thought about the Artists/Galleries charitable intentions....maybe their view is that they sell for £450 on the basis that net proceeds of sale go to charity.
In addition could their double irony be that if you need £1K badly enough that you have to queue up on the street freezing your nicker nacker noo's off and turn around a print then you too are a charity case??

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 Cheers mate - we got lucky with our neighbours for sure!
Darren - apologies, I think I may have woken you up about 04:30. I did a reconnaisance of the queue from back at what turned out to be the early 200s. Spotted a familiar face and gave you a big shout out!
A great night, which was, for me, very impromptu. I went out for a work related meal and then was in a cab going past the queue at 01:30. STOP! I shouted, much to me wife's annoyance when she called at 03:30 to see where I was!
"A shocking lack of judgement for someone claiming to be sobre." read her later text...
I stood for the entire night and having two kids, couldn't sleep at all during yesterday. It was only a hot bath at 21:00 last night that finally warmed me up!
BTW - I have to say thanks to a fair few people who helped me out in the queue to pay between 10:00 and 11:00 yesterday. I had to take my kids to a Xmas party at 11:00 and even though I had queued all night, I would have had to leave without picking up the print if I hadn't paid by then.
Thanks all! One guy said it was just like the script of a Xmas film!
Well, thanks to a few of you, it had a happy ending, with (a very tired and dishevelled) Dad taking photos of the kids on Santa's knee.

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by niaudiasbrother on Dec 13, 2009 11:27:27 GMT 1, I'm gobsmacked that some of you don't realise that this happens in all areas of the art world where pieces of work are bought as 'investments' and sold relatively quickly at an inflated price. Does it make it any more acceptable if the seller wears a suit or runs a gallery?
Anyone with not-so-long memories will recall an Adam Neate original being sold in Laz's Charing Cross gallery a few months after it was purchased from Elms Lesters, but I don't hear anyone shouting Laz is a 'flipper'.
If a print is sold via lottery or with people queuing up overnight a percentage of those prints are going to go to people who are looking to turn a profit. In fact the chances of the print going to 'flippers' increase in a lottery because it is much easier for an opportunist to enter an email address on a website than to stand in the cold for over 12 hours.
The other thing to remember is the secondary/flipper market gives those people who are unfortunate not to win a lottery or be in easy access of London to buy a print. Even if every single print went to a Banksy fan, thousands of people would be disappointed because of the popularity of the artist. Demand easily outstrips supply. Ebay and the phenomenon of the flipper does have a positive role to play in this regard, but it appears most of you would rather fill the pockets of a monied plummy art dealer than a Nigerian street sweeper who has spent the night queuing in the cold.
Pictures On Walls/Banksy etc should be applauded. They have made it perfectly clear that they would prefer the work to be in the hands and homes of those people looking to enjoy the art, rather than those looking to turn a quick profit. Now that they have paid proper attention to making sure that proper provenance is provided with every print, gives any prospective secondary purchaser of Banksy's work some piece of mind knowing that they have more than a faded till receipt and the previous owner's word as proof of purchase.
I think Banksy's work is competitively priced considering his cache. For people like me £450 is still a lot of money and the fact that Pictures On Walls has given me the chance to buy this piece of work which I will cherish for years to come, has a greater worth to me than the money I could possibly make.

sigh - moan moan moan drivel drivel - everyone got their prints there and then, therefore those who were going to sell will do so quickly - long run? probably the same amount sold on as any other release

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by thevideovaults on Dec 13, 2009 13:02:55 GMT 1, Well I was one of the earliest Losers, set off from Manchester at 3am, finally got to the queue at 6am and saw the mass of people. Spoke to one of the guys on crowd control who said I was borderline so I waited it out. At about seven the tickets had been given out and I was about sixth away. The guy to get the last ticket said he had arrived at 4am. So I missed out by two hours. That life... I ended up staying just incase one was spare, well it was 4 hours back to Manchester, but no luck. It was good to see the cheers when people collected there's and dedication of the early queuers. I did go in about 11am and got one of the Dran special edition's, which is excellent. I did see a spare No Ball Games on the desk behind the counter, but Simon would'nt sell this as it had'nt been numbered. Should have asked him to wright ap on it. Did have a good time talking to everyone, but the quote of the day was " Not sure what I am queuing for but worth it for £500-600 "

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by bullet on Dec 13, 2009 13:08:10 GMT 1, Yes flipping is annoying etc, but not everyone who will be doing it on this print will have demon eyes.
think of the people that without it would not be able to have a nice christmas with their kids or family. Maybe that money will be able to pay to make a kids christmas really magic or get to see that relative in another country.
Its part of the game, i have mixed feelings but there is always the other side to the coin.
banksy knows this and what goes on, why else would he release stuff like this so close to xmas and refuse to bump up the price

Of course it can and I’m sure many people who queued the other night will get lucky in the upcoming lottery for the green release as well.
POW are damned no matter what way they choose to release any Banksy print purely because they have become such a commodity. The only way to stop the flipping of Banksy prints for an instant profit would be to sell them at their market value yet I’m sure everyone would much rather that didn’t happen on the off chance they might just be lucky enough to win one at £450. As CHIPPY!! mentioned somewhere else in this thread the decision to release Banksy prints at 30% of their true market value is a great marketing plot and one that helps keep demand and hype high. The example given of Faile, Neate and Micallef are perfect testament to this.
With anything sold at 30% of its market value, people will always find a way to abuse the system; the old style general release had technology and software, the queues the other night had people paying other people in the queue to get them copies, lotteries will have people with multiple email accounts/entries. I had no problem with the free for all queuing system accompanying a lottery release and think POW couldn’t have handled it better if they tried although releasing the print in July would definitely have helped!
I spoke to one guy in the queue who admitted that he had flipped an old print to fund a round the world trip. When considered in this perspective I have absolutely no problems and doubt Banksy or the majority of people there would have either.
The only reason there are x amount of prints on ebay at the moment is because everyone walked away with the print and coa. I’m surprised if anything that this number isn’t much higher and agree with nex...overall, percentages sold on ebay will be much the same as any other recent release of similar edition size.

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by kissysusuki on Dec 13, 2009 13:22:58 GMT 1, lets see how many green ones get offered on here or on ebay with inflated prices shall we, before some of you start crucifying POW. You just have to remember how many Donuts were offered for sale on here and on ebay to know that no matter what method POW do, there will be some people who will look to turn a fast profit, even forum members who think they have the moral high ground because they lost out.
One thing I do know is, pieces invariably finds the right home, the person who buys from the secondary will be less inclined to sell it on immediately, not unless the price goes up, which in turn means the original flippers are kind of kicking themselves for losing out on making more money, case in example Nola. The people who bought secondary immediately after print was released, could make more money selling now then the original flipper.
This is all part and parcel of the game. You have a choice, you can either play or not

You have to think though, its not the fault of the people in the Q that someone is willing to pay £1,700 for a banksy. If people did not pay that in the first place this would not be an issue.
All the people are who stand in line overnight to make £700 or whatever are basically monkeys for the people with the cash. If you want to live your life as a monkey then do that.

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by kissysusuki on Dec 13, 2009 13:38:18 GMT 1, I would be inclinded to agree Freerange, but not everyone is doing it for the cash, it would seem from reading this thread, that majority of the people who did queue did it to because they want to own a Banksy, have collected in the past and are doing it for the right reasons. So putting things in to context, if the majority are there for the right reasons, then this method of obtaining a print, was executed perfectly by POW.
Unless you or others on this forum disagree and believe the majority of the people who queued are there for the wrong reasons?

Banksy • No Ball Games GREY, by bullet on Dec 13, 2009 13:41:24 GMT 1, im just referring to those that are moaning about flippers kissysuki, of course there will be the fans mixed in. But i agree with someone earlier that said the thing had become about money and i tend to agree.
Even those that collect banksy and have done since the start will have in the back of their mind the value. Its just human nature and the world we live in. Otherwise you would get people that 'love' banksy prints selling them for cost to other people that 'love' banksy, but as you have probably seen... that has never happened no matter how good someones intentions are.
