Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by dinomaa on Dec 13, 2009 15:52:57 GMT 1, Feeling worse today than I did yesterday no way I'll be doing that again. As for all the talk about flippers deserving the money for all their hard work queuing - have to feel if there wasn't any flippers I could have just got up early on saturday and easily bagged one. AS for the nutters who get inline first why??? just means your starting the pain early for yourself and everyone else. Please next time if you get down there and theres no one in the queue GO HOME COME BACK LATTER.

This is probably one of the most important things.
If these people hadn't started queueing and caused all the hype and panic on here everyone would have been able to stroll down on Saturday morning to get one.
This forum is it's own worst enemy really. You moan about the flippers but then provide them with the information they need.

Dear CHIPPY!!
Of course not. It was in reaction to people moaning about flippers for 12 pages. They can either do something about it to help themselves or stop moaning.

It certainly didn't help. I was planning to get there for about 5-6am but a mate call at 9am on friday saying there was already people queuing !! So I had to change plans and get down there nearly 12hours early, now I'm probably dieing of hypothermia - nice.
(Don't think I'd hack it as a homeless, know which charity getting my pennies next year.)

Dear Mr Willy
Do you acknowledge that the monetary gain involved in acquiring a Banksy print creates the said hype and all that entails is inevitable?

Dear CHIPPY!!
Sorry if I offended as it was not my intention. I am just not interested in discussing monetary value or how if affects things. If you would like to talk about the art that is cool. Tell us what you like and what you have on your walls.
Best Wishes, Willy.

Banksy โข No Ball Games GREY, by twinkle on Dec 13, 2009 16:42:07 GMT 1, Hello to all, thought I'd add some un-original words to this debate, and in so doing get off the mark in terms of posts.
The flippers are a negative I grant you but anyone who did queue through the night deserves at least some reward, whether its some cash or the print itself (something I will always keep and cherish). I mean it was fantastically cold (toe tinglingly numbing), Commercial Street was the jungle of the manic, it officially got quiet for about 10 mins around 5am, we dealt with fights/drunks/priests/prats and each added to the texture of this "event" and are not to be forgotten.
Another thing that struck me (no it wasn't the beer bottle that flew into the street) it was the broad spectrum of people in the line. And that perhaps is the reason for debate here, the crux. Whether you are a die-hard wrapped in tents and sleeping-bags, or your worthy students or media types concealed in cardboard, your business professional clad in North Face parkers or your opportunists shrouded in bemusement we were all there due to the hype sounding the artist and one way or another are ALL simultaneously perpetrators and victims of this. Personally I think its this kind of tapestry of people, this diversity, that should be applauded and celebrated, and as a great thinker on Friday said, "this Banksy thing, it is what it is.......
Thanks go to my cardborad box fellow citizens, to Phil, Rod of iron, Peter the great, Dean the don, Ace Alex, and Mr and Mrs Swedish superstars which made losing my Banksy virginity the special moment it always should be.

Can flippers really get done by pow for selling? i mean i only had to give a name, no email no address etc would the person you selling to be the one dobbing your name into pow??
also do people that got the grey still have a greedy chance for the green??

Dear Mr Willy
It would take a little more than a crass sentence used in order to avoid points made, to offend me my friend.
You state how you are not interested in discussing monetary value or how it effects things, I present evidence A to the jury:
This is probably one of the most important things. If these people hadn't started queueing and caused all the hype and panic on here everyone would have been able to stroll down on Saturday morning to get one. This forum is it's own worst enemy really. You moan about the flippers but then provide them with the information they need.
Is this not discussing how monetary value effects things? If so, according to you it "is probably one of the most improtant things" to be addressed.
These are your words which I responded to, making the sole point that hype did not come from two desperate men in tents.
Your response was and has been to not acknowledge the point raised.
Willy by name...
Yours sincerely
CHIPPY!!

in your opinion its not, but to the person who bought it it obviously is worth that. it is a great print in my opinion.
but thats why art is so fantastic, everyone has different opinions and tastes. thats the beauty.
p.s. something is always worth what someone is willing to pay.

Donuts and trolleys are cheaper. Although the first few of any new banksy tend to go for a little higher than the settling point. I think Nola was selling for nearly ยฃ2.5k straight after release then dropped to ยฃ2k after the new year.
Really annoyed with myself for not heading down on Friday night now. I thought I might have been too late setting off from Bristol at 8pm but turns out I would have had plenty of time. I'm surprised that 230 had not made the queue earlier to be honest. Guess if you are not feeling the image completely it might have held back a fair few people from spending 15+ hours on a cold london street. See what my luck is like with the lottery.
Hope they do first come first served next year and give a little more notice. I think this and a lottery split work well. If you really want that banksy at cost then it's yours for a little pain.
