Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by Standard on Dec 11, 2010 7:15:41 GMT 1, I'm a bit pissed off that several big "forum" members have pushed in. if I don't get one I'm calling them out.
Awaking to read this kind of news is really sad - name and shame them.
I Feel sorry for you grafik, especially having braved the cold night only to be pushed back from greedy and arrogant flippers, and it has to be said some so called fans too!

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by Smith and Stuff on Dec 11, 2010 7:20:27 GMT 1, I've just got home without a print, it's 6 in the morning on Sat and I qued since 8 in the evening before and decided that it was time to bail after previously holding a position of 130 in the que. It just became horrible, the que got mobbed at the top end with horrible violent bastards. I was threatened by cavemen wielding fists for walking up the que to try and locate a friend. By this time there were atleast 300 infront, half of which pushed in. Decided to bail as I knew I'd never get a print. Banksy clearly has a wide fan base including degenerate thugs and cheating cnuts. I'm done, off to bed. Wish it had been fixed with a small bundle of raffle tickets issued at around 11pm when the que had 200 peeps in it. I know we all made the choice to do this and it may have been a daft one, but it could have been done in a more civalised manner.
As i walked away from the que empty handed & minus my friend I heard someone say that the human race was put back 300 years tonight.

Just remember, if you have to scrap, quick jab to the throat, (cuts off oxygen for a few seconds) once they grab their throat and bend foward...a quick kick in the knee. And then their down! Not that I condone the use of violence. But if you find yourself in a sticky situation.....
Then again, a handy lightsaber will always take down the biggest foe!

They should have gone with a larger edition size or priced it closer to market value, then they wouldn't be having these problems.

POW seriously need to learn from this, this cannot happen again. Should never have released today. If you're not in danger I'd hang around - who knows, as has been said - the edition size has not been released, only that 25 of each will be available. Hang in there Grafik!!

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by quackers on Dec 11, 2010 7:34:21 GMT 1, Don't often write on here (contribute more on the Baldwin Forum) although visit daily; I am lucky enough to have two Banksy's (one from source another bought from here from a longstanding member) and hope to get lucky with the lottery.
On reading the last few hours of this unfold I am starting to wonder why POW don't just cut out the middle men and list all 375 of them on eBay themselves in a single storefront release all 0.99 start and let them find homes with genuine collectors at a Market rate, rather than at a price they now will inflate demand and draw in a less desireable element.
Good luck to all you forum members who are there and sit it out, stay safe, it's only paper.

They make an announcement and a registration time slot, keeping it relatively short. Then if you have previously purchased a Banksy print from earlier releases and can provide proof of your COA then you get the chance to buy at a reduced rate. If you can't do this then you pay a true market value. It would encourage collecting and reduce flipping.

HOrns blared and people shouted, there were rumours around the corner that someone who had pushed in had had there head stood on. I thought that would be the highlight but I'm sure there is more & worse violence to come. Hope the nice people are ok.
