Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by grafik on Dec 11, 2010 13:30:37 GMT 1, how many were sold at Berwick street? Yeah, so whats that about? When I went to bed, people that had been waiting at Berwick Street had moved to POW as that was where the website said the release was going to be. So later after those people had gone? did they then do a release at Berwick Street? I'm confused.
started Berwick, then pow said pow, q rush to pow, 7am they say 200 prints is actually 175, go to Berwick street for more. Q rush to soho.
I'd given up at this point.

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by rob on Dec 11, 2010 13:36:16 GMT 1, My 2p's worth
I feel that the lottery system is the fairest system at the moment to use as everyone has an equal chance.
This does not stop the flippers though. These people are the problem to the real fans gaining access to Banksy prints. The world and his nan now know that buying at ยฃ450 selling for ยฃ2/3 whatever is easy money for a nights work...
There needs to be a change in the selling system.
I don't think that only selling to previous buyers is fair either I would be ok in that system) but what makes me any more preferential than anyone else?
I find the edition size of 25 each colourway slightly strange. If Man Utd played infront of 2000 people every week, what do you think the ticket prices would be?
My solutions are;
Increase the edition sizes say 1000 each signed at less price (Like Trolleys colored)
Small editions 10/20, sell at market rate from POW
Monitor the sales on eBay. By this I mean, try to come an arrangement with eBay that certain prints are not allowed to be sold. Buyers must keep the prints for a minimum of 2 years be fore sales. I'm not saying not to be ever resold just not flipped straight away.
Any thoughts on these solutions??

They asked if it was going to be released tonight and was told no. If the queue is about 140 now it's not as long as last year at this time. If anyone wants to go down and the release is the same-ish as last year I think everyone will get a print if it is indeed going to be released in the morning. Thanks for your enormous contribution to the foru ;Dm over the last 3 years
No problem, something else that might annoy you is that I've got a print!

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by waveydavey on Dec 11, 2010 13:36:39 GMT 1, What I don't understand is why the queue was not self policed. When a queue jumper decides to jump the queue, someone needs to publicly call him / her out, and everyone behind that line jumper needs to speak up.
Thats the theory. In practice though the q jumper is massive and has six very hard looking mates.... with dogs. Actually they look a bit like the bloke in picture you were trying to buy.
Actually this is what I would do if i were in the q but didn't get one. I would get my own copy screen printed (cost about 150 max) and send it to POW, explain that you were in the q all night, didn't get one and ask if they could get banksy to sign it. Promise you will never sell it. Can't really say no can they?

I agree with the lottery being the fairest system. Question is how they organise the lottery. Is every piece available for the lottery, are previous buyers allowed to bid again etc. I have been entering the lotteries for some time now but I have never been able to buy a print which is very frustrating.
An other idea is to have people register themselves at POW with a copy of their id, this prevents people using different email accounts, names etc. From this list names will randomly be drawn, each time a print is being released. People who buy a print will be taken off the list.
