POW's rules of engagement and provinence checking?, by snakes on May 20, 2007 18:08:50 GMT 1, Will those who have sold their 'Morons' via ebay, even with their clever airbrushing of the numbers be buggered for the next release once the new owners check the provinence of the print with Dora at POW what with their new rules of engagement?

POW's rules of engagement and provinence checking?, by alderevans2007 on May 20, 2007 18:25:22 GMT 1, Are POW actually allowed to prevent people from buying their stuff? I am not aware of any law that says that you cannot buy from a retailer and sell for profit (as long as you pay taxes).
I am no law expert, but isn't their something called an invitation to treat, whereby if you advertise a product, then anybody has the right to purchase it. (probably crap) Any law people?
Don't get the wrong end of the stick. It's just food for thought.

POW's rules of engagement and provinence checking?, by stylus on May 20, 2007 18:28:49 GMT 1, I think there are three stages:
Invitation to treat
Offer
Acceptance
So a vendor can offer a product at a given price. Someone could match the price. The vendor could say no anyway.
I presume that as the Ts&Cs say something like "we can cancel your order at any time before fulfilment", then they can pretty much do what they like.

Yes of course they can prevent people buying their stuff, it's worked very well for Grannies, Applause and Morons, I think it's know as crap computer ;D
Seriously though, yes they can, they've even covered their arse by printing the rules of engagement, these are the sales terms.

POW's rules of engagement and provinence checking?, by snakes on May 20, 2007 18:52:00 GMT 1, I imagine though that its not going to help too much in giving us a better chance of getting our hands on a print, what with all the extra publicity that has been earnt since the release of Morons. So for all of those that have been blacklisted by pow under the rules of engagement will be replaced a hundred fold by further banksy fans, admirers, appreciaters or whatever we are meant to be called!
So i suppose we had just get ready for the next big CRASH.

POW's rules of engagement and provinence checking?, by dave313perry on May 20, 2007 19:03:36 GMT 1, im struggling to see how pow will manage to stop people by tracking down previous sales, surely if they are prepared to sit at a computer for hours with the rest of us poor sods then wouldnt they just put the print under another name or something? is it possible they can check IP addresses or is that just aload of rubbish? im sure more computer literate knows!

POW's rules of engagement and provinence checking?, by tomhills1 on May 20, 2007 21:16:30 GMT 1, good point dave, unless they have a serial 'flipper' on their hands that they are desperate to halt, i doubt very much, even if they are armed with all the details, that will have the time and inclination to remove possible purchasers that have supposedly been 'blacklisted'. although they are well within their rights to do so. even if you offer something for sale, you can refuse to accept the buyer's money for whatever reason, you don't have to give one. once you've accepted their money you are duty bound to a 'contract'. unless you lay down conditions of sale you cannot legally back out at this point. if you have made stipulations then you can break the contract if you feel the need to enforce any one of the conditions of sale.
and breath.
