For the 200 lemmings that queued at Berwick St this year next year there will be 400, the extra will be just for the $$$$ though. I can't think of any other business which would treat their clients (and I'd imagine that we've all been clients?) that date back to 2003/4? (I only count as a client of theirs since 2005, so a newbie) in this fashion.
No information, no security, nothing - if you had the will to turn up that day why would you be back for more??
So next release they might have some security - good luck with the criminal gang that will now turn up on mass, this years scuffles will look like handbags at dawn.......
F5 or lottery if they continue to give away money.

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by otomi on Dec 14, 2010 20:26:58 GMT 1, Here are my favorite release options. I'm well aware that no one asked for them. These are based on the fact that I'm not in London and spend to much time on here.
Unannounced release on the website with captcha to prevent automatic buy scripts or a raffle or lottery where you have to register with your credit card to prevent multiple entries and short registry time. More than one release a year.

POW did enough by releasing the prints on Saturday (presumably unplanned) to console as many as they could...

A long, long time ago on this thread someone posted that this might be the end of the road for Banksy prints........

Why? Only a few on ebay out of the 400+, great prices which will keep the demand up and they raised a lot of money for chairity. The Q problem was only observed by a very small circle of people.

Word spreads, if you release at £450 and re-sale is (for example) £4K, then it would be foolish at best to consider that a repeat will not produce an amplification of the social issues that presented this year.
Demand will, inevitably, manifest itself in violence and the amount they raised for 'charity' is eclipsed by what they could have raised.

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by yapsey on Dec 14, 2010 21:23:26 GMT 1, it's all god and well releasing it overseas - such as in bethlehem, but not all can suddenly afford to, at a drop of a hat, jet off with a last minute ticket.
i would have loved to have gone to bethlehem - but there was absolutely no way i could have afforded the flight over.

Since you ask....
I didn't 'get on hold' of the print - I wasn't able to drop everything on Friday due to a prior commitment supervising a Christmas school disco for a 100 or so 9 and 10 year olds as I'm head of the school PTA - so you see I have priorities that are over and above a 2ft square piece of paper.
You insinuate that I'm pissed off but I'm not - if I wanted to buy this then I would but I'd prefer to have a fortnight in the Windward Islands with the family than this on the wall - my choice and as long as I have the luxury of making choices like that I'm as happy as a pig in a lot of s**t.
Don't assume......

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by Deleted on Dec 14, 2010 21:35:46 GMT 1, Oh the joys of the internet..... If i lost fair and square i would not be complaining, i don't have a Nola or Donuts and never had an issue with that, the reason i do not have a CYW is because i chose not to behave like an animal. I have a NBG hanging on my wall which was a great experience for me, this was just a disgusting experience which ever way you look at it. No POW are not reponsible for people acting like thugs but they could have made at least half an effort. Tickets, barriers, up to date information, staff about even if it was just to observe take photos etc. Name me one instance of POW making even the slightest effort on this release?
grow a pair will you and stop banging on like you are some sort of victim. The reason you dont have a CYW is because you didnt push back, you let these people take the proverbial out of you and because you did, you blame POW for it. If you scored you wouldnt be moaning thats for sure - funny how the ones who did, arent complaining, while those who didnt are.
POW always have made an effort - just not to your expected high standards.
you lucked out - go and help out in a soup kitchen or do some volunteer work to help the homeless over christmas, then you will realise how lucky you really are.

I would be alright with this. im a fan of Banksy before I am a fan of owning a print of his and the madness/ whining/ profiting that is a result of his print releases is the epitamy of what he is supposed to not represent.

One day they'll come up with a fool proof method of releasing. If such a thing exists!
Pud, did you score one or not?! Pm me: it seems we never have the luck. I hope you didn't let me down this year either?!
