Hi
Mar 13, 2008 12:59:59 GMT 1
Hi, by ratboy on Mar 13, 2008 12:59:59 GMT 1, Hi to all on the board. I've been visiting for a while now but have only just signed up.
I came across the board when looking to see what happened to the huge rat with knife and fork in Shoreditch. It's the first Banksy I saw and always try to see it when visiting London - until a couple of weeks ago when I saw it had been boarded up. It seems very sad if it really is being sold.
As a newcomer I'll no doubt be chastised for asking, but I'm now on here and POW regularly looking for new Banksy prints, having not seen how they're released in the past. Can someone tell me what normally happens? Are they released without any fanfare like the two on POW today? And how fast do they sell out? Within minutes?
Thanks,
U

Hi, by richy00 on Mar 13, 2008 13:21:27 GMT 1, POW send around a newsletter and it says on their site something like "new this month trolleys from banksy' then a whitty one liner... then you have to spend the whole month sitting in front of your computer pressing f5 (refresh) every 5 seconds untill the print magically appears... the print will sell out in a few seconds maxium... most of the time you wont even see the buy button... then everyone either says how happy they are cos they got one or slags off pow and flippers cos they didnt..
good luck and welcome

Hi, by ratboy on Mar 13, 2008 13:26:19 GMT 1, Thanks, sounds fun
I couldn't believe how quickly the Todd James prints sold (and reappeared) this morning. I think I'll have to lower my expectations of getting a Banksy print.

Not neccessarily lower expectations, just raise budget

Hi, by ratboy on Mar 13, 2008 13:41:43 GMT 1, So will you all have Banksy's page on POW open and refreshing throughout everyday? Just on the off chance a new one will appear?

Hi, by yapsey on Mar 13, 2008 23:55:50 GMT 1, the print will sell out before the email goes out sadly.......... (other than trollies, but that was three editions/colourways..... but the black and white signed had gone before the email was out - you all know what i'm going on about...... : (...)
make sure you're at a computer.... all the time...... you know you're hard-core when you blink into the sunlight when you leave the house.....

Hi, by Heavyconsumer on Mar 14, 2008 5:08:03 GMT 1, Welcome and good luck with the next release. I'm also amazed how fast those prints sold yesterday (Todd James), I can only believe the flippers are speculating because POW have a good history of releasing works which later become profitable. You need luck if you're gonna grab a Banksy at source nothing much more to it. These guys are not exagerating, you asked if the sell out in minutes, the answer is no. The quite literally go in seconds, I believe the colour trollies (edition of 750) went in under half a minute!
