If that's true it's fecking disgraceful - I hope if anyone has done that they get tarred and feathered. My point was merely if you've been queuing for 17 hours plus and you are likely to miss out due to misinformation then you do what you have to IMO.

Heresay is a dangerous thing and potentially libalous, you should be aware enough of the law already with this release - best not push your luck again son
Dont threaten me. Its not made up, its fact. You have admitted it yourself above and (name removed) up there is doing it blatantly. Tell everyone your previous username please.

I understand your point. I was just trying to understand FR's. FR makes quite an accusation - that people have bought ed25 prints in person and then complained and got a QJG as well. I wanted to clarify that that was what he was accusing people of. He said it is. I think that is poor form, if he is right. Question now is - is he right? I havent seen anything to suggest people on here (or not on here) have done that. So I still dont understand FR's beef, unless he does know people on here have done that (other than speculation)

one forum member in particular managed to get both a regular edition and also a QJG. No one on this thread, apart from maybe rob up the top the who said it belongs to his 'mate'.
Hope this thread does not end up like the fatherxmas one, or it could be very damaging on the 'group'.
Night.

But I think the fact that there has been far to many queue jumpers already offered for sale would suggest that many of the people who are selling them would think nothing of getting a 25 edition print as well as blagging a QJG, I would have also thought that anyone who would have felt so let down and compelled to write to POW about missing out, would have wanted to hang on to this print and admire it a little longer than a few short weeks.

Dont disagree with you for a minute. If you read my post again, my question was whether people had bought ed 25 on release, and then complained and got a QJG as well. That was what FR was saying had happened. That was what I thought was wrong if it had happened. Still not sure that it has - FR wasnt able to say for definate that it had, unless I misread his reply. If someone got a QJG and then swaps it for a different colourway, not sure there is much wrong with that. Quite different scenario. BTW, I have none.

Nothing to see here, by colinfishwick on Feb 6, 2011 10:01:37 GMT 1, i must admit i was surprised there were as many as 58 in the QJG edition, when the tickets had been given out and there arguing started again i saw no more than half a dozen people talking to Simon when he walked past the queue so not sure where that number came from?
i could really throw the cat amongst the pigeons here and suggest that it was possible to go to Berwick St for round three having already got your ticket for POW and then go and pick up TWO editions of 25 - you could even have tried your luck and complained for a QJG too, this is not beyond the realms of possibility, not by any means.

POW tried to make people good by releasing the QJG edition and look how their faith in people's moral fibre has been repaid, lesson learnt I reckon.

I agree

Can't agree more with this post.
I can only think that after this whole mess POW don't ever do a Banksy shopfront release again. Firstly, (and I have a vested interest in saying this) it's unfair to anyone who isn't able to drop everything to get to London on a moment's notice...and secondly as it's too readily exploitable by anyone looking to make some fast money. A lottery's the only fair way.
And on the queue issue...I can't believe anyone thinks they have a right to just join the 'right' queue after they made a mistake and joined another queue. FFS. Try whining like that at the post office, see how far it gets you.

You cannot blame this madness on POW. It was those who took it upon themselves to queue outside M&S (and I'm one of them) and more or less force POW to release the print. POW didn't say that it was going to be released from M&S on that day. The blame really should fall upon those that started the queue there.
With regards to the queue jumping. Several people at M&S jumped in at the front, sadly it's part and parcel of these events. Again it is sad that people pushed in at POW. Whatever way you look at it, some people got what they wanted and others went away disappointed. That's life.
It was very reputable of POW and Banksy to give those that missed out the chance to buy another colourway. I think those that were pushed in front of deserved this, as long as they were true fans who wanted the print not to make a quick buck.
There was an eBay member who had a QJG, a pink and a lottery grey on at different times after the release. So Freerange's comment about some people unfairly getting QJG is correct.

this is a fair point but i'd like to argue that it wasn't a gamble - these prints were already at both locations, ready rolled up in tubes. IMO the release was always going to happen on the Saturday.
an email was sent out when those at Berwick St could easily have been told 'no, go home' or 'wrong location' etc, as it was they seemed to get off on sending people on wild goose chases across town. what is more, why did they not tell anyone that there were 3 editions being released in Soho? were these never meant to go to Joe Public or what?

One day or another there will be a riot in front of POW.
The queue system does not prevent further sales on ebay or here or elsewhere with huge benefits. How many CYW have been seen for sale? Seriously? At least, too many. Imo it is easier to queue all night with the perspective of a ยฃ 3k5 profit than with the picture of the upcoming print on your wall. At the end I wonder if the queue system is not the worst?
...and to be fair I have to admit I'm not based in London (nor in UK) so I'll never be able to queue wich is so unfair... (imo ;D)
There should be salecontract with POW including a clause wich should engage buyers not to resale the print for a period of three years.

They weren't rolled up in tubes. A courier arrived at Commercial Street at about 2 in the morning and collected a large number of flat packed square packs, presumably on its way to M&S.
For what it's worth, my view is that if you take your chance in a queue, without any solid info, then it's a gamble. you might be lucky, but then again, you might not. and it's a simple as that. if you lose, you have no right in the correct queue, doesnt matter who you are, or who's in the queue above you. only my perspective.. this is a fair point but i'd like to argue that it wasn't a gamble - these prints were already at both locations, ready rolled up in tubes. IMO the release was always going to happen on the Saturday. an email was sent out when those at Berwick St could easily have been told 'no, go home' or 'wrong location' etc, as it was they seemed to get off on sending people on wild goose chases across town. what is more, why did they not tell anyone that there were 3 editions being released in Soho? were these never meant to go to Joe Public or what? They weren't rolled up in tubes. A courier arrived at Commercial Street at about 2 in the morning and collected a large number of flat packed square packs, presumably on its way to M&S.

Nothing to see here, by Warm Gun on Feb 6, 2011 14:05:13 GMT 1, Grafik (I think) posted a picture showing a huge bundle or tubes in POW, that's when the madness started. We're still awaiting it's closure.

People do whats right for them, if that means pushing in then so be it but you shouldnt try to justify it!
