Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by jackstranger on Dec 5, 2010 13:53:51 GMT 1, Not to be a dik, but i think the Banksy release topics should be private, and viewable only by members of the forum. A lot of the 50,000 views of this topic are bloodthirsty flippers, frothing at the mouth, trying to exploit our knowledge and interest in street art, to make a quick buck. Just my humble opinion. I somehow don't think that 50,000 have viewed it. The number is most likely so high as you are all so paranoid about missing out on release information that you keep returning up to a 100 times a day and hence are increasing the viewing figures!
Exactly... If you have the thread open and you refresh the page it will count 'one view' more. If people are refreshing the pages every minute you get high numbers but no real viewers or views. I believe that people have the page open and just refresh it to see if there is an update...

Find the best way possible to show why you deserve and is your birth right to get the new Banksy over some random guy who happens to win the lottery or cues up over night,

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by seeohay on Dec 5, 2010 14:06:03 GMT 1, I really hope that I get one of these prints. I have been following Banksy for years and have missed all his releases. I am a student so cannot afford to buy on the second market- I can barely afford £450 as it is, and thus, if I get one, will have to make some sacrifices.
Banksy has even inspired me to do my own stencils- just trying to get the hand of layering and colouring at the mo. hmm
I am keeping my fingers- well and truly crossed!

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by Wearology on Dec 5, 2010 15:11:10 GMT 1, My name is Jon and I am a Banksaholic. Ever since POW hinted at a 30 minutes heads up - I now take my Blackerry and Ipad every where I go just so I am prepared to join in the bun fight. 1st I had to check if the POW site uses Flash or not. 2nd I had to make sure my POW emails are not going to my spam folder. 3rd I had to see if I had enough space on my credit card for the print. Now I am officially ready to have all my dreams and hopes crushed within a 30 minutes and 3 second time span.

yeah but how many people after queuing up all night - then walk away with a print and coa in their hands that is worth considerably more?
I'll be the ugly git wearing a balaclava and carrying a baseball bat, waiting for you around the corner

Banksy • Choose Your Weapon Print, by esfer on Dec 5, 2010 18:53:35 GMT 1, As for myself, I just want to hang my first banksy and I refuse to pay double and a half to do so. I am completely stoked to have a chance to buy one at the original offered price. If I don't get one, so be it.
I'm sure that Banksy is terrified that one of his print runs will not sell out instantly, so he will always keep the prices relatively affordable, at the release, I should think. After all, these are not originals, these are editions up to 500+ pieces!
You can buy a Warhol soup can, signed edition of 250 for less than some of Banksy's prints....to me that is shocking and shockingly telling about how Banksy's prices will be treated later on down the road. Celebrity has it's place in the art world, but I am not sure about the longevity of Celebrity and it's effect on long term values. All I can say is he better stay hidden, because his notoriety is one of the major factors in driving his prices upwards.
Just my 2 cents, I sure hope they release soon and I hope I get one for cost....to hang up!

Cant see much chance really of a print run not selling out. Good luck with getting your first one!.

i think majority of the trainers/ clothes people qued all night for where worth considerably more on the resale, and i would also think trainers/clothes hold a lot more value to someone hanging out on the streets than a piece of paper. unless their big banksy fans

To be fair, there are 10 different soup cans for an edition total of 2500 (and the average price of one of those commands ~$9,000 with tomato being the most sought after at ~$30k). Further, the soup cans represent less that 2% of Warhol's editioned work (he has in excess of 100k signed prints). I'm certainly no expert but would be surprised to know that Banksy even has 5k signed prints. It's kind of apples to oranges no matter how you look at that one because volume is a major factor with editioned work.
