My brother in law must have had 50+, (still got receipts (gutted!!) used to trade on ebay back in 03 making good profit even then. Even told POW what he was doing they didn't care,still have some lovely works on his walls, how times have changed!!

Old/Orginal B collectors, by slowmo on May 8, 2008 22:23:20 GMT 1, interesting thread, first bought banksy was on for my then girlfriend, now wife, WSM, on behalf of my mum and dad. Simply irreplaceable image, can see our grandchildren with it one day thinking of me as the old man, she asked for a banksy and after googling found pictures on walls!
Just asked her how she had heard of him, it was from some designer friends who thought he was a legend, many years before. So I can thank my wife for Banksy.
Funny thing, I remember after finding POW thinking it would be the Donwoods that would be great investments, cos he was associated with radiohead, but they were stupid money (it seemed then), gutted now I ddnt buy a pacific coast (although maybe they were on eyestorm). Still don't own one to this day. The Hewletts were my favourites, followed by the good banksys!

Old/Orginal B collectors, by felix on May 8, 2008 22:44:04 GMT 1, Hewlett was how I got into Banksy via POW, around 2004 I think (late in the game!) but managed to get a few rats and a virgin mary at leisure. Saved up for a colourway soupcan for ยฃ200 (broke back then) finally ordered it, then POW sent me some crude oil postcards and a refund a few weeks later as an apology as they had oversold and all sold out I have never managed to get a signed one since (except a trolleys, which had order cancelled, long stupid me story) but am still happy I managed to pick up what I did.
Sorry if that was boring.

Old/Orginal B collectors, by junkieart on May 9, 2008 23:12:17 GMT 1, As I remember it was quite a confusing way to buy Banksys from POW in 03 (I'm a bit thick but there were so many choices!!) Does anyone remember what POW was called before? I think it was a photography site originally? PYMA? Still awaiting the next POW release come on! Hope its the dove, but maybe the wall cleaner from Can?

Old/Orginal B collectors, by onemandown72 on Jun 4, 2008 10:17:11 GMT 1, Love the fact that loads of original collectors of Banksy prints were bought by all manner of people. Recently went to my brothers squat, and what they had in there was fantastic in ways of early POW prints (Banksy, Hewlett, Insect, Cauty, not POW I Know). None of them give a sh*t about the cash, just like having the prints up and kind of unaware of their value. All bought from a combination of POW, Tom Tom, Banksy shows etc.

Old/Orginal B collectors, by nattymatt on Jun 4, 2008 10:19:28 GMT 1, i bought a one off original canvas 1m square for ยฃ2000 back in 2001. All my mates said i was bloody mad!!! i said i loved his work and searched the net, found his website and thought ..sod it , i'd rather have 2 grand on my wall than in the bank.
now i've flogged it, and made a load of cash out of it....sure i loved it and would liked to have kept it but its only a painting and the money i got for it allows me to do a whole lot more with my life.....I'm not a collector so not really fussed. I never bought it to make money out of it but looks like it did ok .
Each to their own!!
i just wished i had bought another original piece at christies about 2 years ago...it sold for ยฃ1300.....bargain of the year i'd say.

Old/Orginal B collectors, by anewspace on Jun 4, 2008 17:55:41 GMT 1, I go back that far. Does any one remember the originals of things like "If only you like sex as much as shopping" I think it was called.
These were a couple - very drippy - black and white on pink
I think they were 300 sterling
P.O.W was pretty simple not alot of artists but I remember I'd visit and i'd always think I'd come back and get various bits. No matter time flies ad I did get 2 laugh nows one of which my ex and I used to help our son settle when we broke up. So in his room in each house he has one on the wall.
Yes, they're both signed
But the funny thing was 3 years ago I had a napalm and he just didn't like it. He's 7 now. So he convinced my best friend to mind it in her house and its stayed there ever since.
