POW Print Prices, by Daniel Silk on Nov 9, 2006 12:14:55 GMT 1, Do you think the price rise by POW of the latest Banksy prints has made any difference?
The unsigned prints are now £200, and they would have bin just £75 a year ago 
Jack & Jills were £75, and they were selling on ebay for £300-350 for a couple of months on ebay after they had sold out on POW 
Grannies were £200, and they are selling for £500-1000 on ebay at the moment

POW Print Prices, by manchestermike on Nov 9, 2006 12:17:52 GMT 1, Difference in what way?
It's just supply and demand... to be honest I think POW have done well keeping the prices at 500/200 - they could have easilly put them higher.

POW Print Prices, by corblimeylimey on Nov 9, 2006 12:35:16 GMT 1, I applaud POW for keeping their prices low, as they say, they could be good little capitalists and sell for far higher.
After the Grannies went on sale before they were delivered for about three times the price, it makes me wonder how much longer they'll continue to sell below worth.

Well, Im not really sure what the idea was for the price rise People were sayin it was to try and stop people buying more than one, and then reselling them But the 1 Print per person should fix that.
I guess they felt they should now be getting a bigger slice of the cake? and so they should! ;D they work very hard, and I cant imagine how just three people can get so many orders sorted out

Perhaps there was an element of obligation to be consistent with the prices they charged at the LA show itself (which was US$500 per print), seeing how they're in the same edition and run and all. Notice that £200 is quite significantly cheaper than US$500 - I really respect POW for finding a middle ground between "LA Price match" and "Our promise of cheap art". So maybe the price level had little to do with weeding out potential unscrupulous wannabe art dealer pirates? 
So the reason why the unsigned ones are £200 might be caused by Lazarides Inc. charging US$500 during the LA show, and we know that prices at Laz are always much much higher than at POW. At this point, I'm still trying to figure out the connection between Laz and POW... is Steve Lazarides involved in both? Perhaps someone with more background knowledge can enlighten me

I think the price relationship between Laz Inc and POW is more calculated than people realize. POW creates demand. Laz Inc reaps the rewards. Clever stuff!

A quick "whois" search will reveal that POW, Lazinc and banksy.co.uk are all registered to Mr Lazarides.

POW Print Prices, by robdenice on Jan 10, 2019 21:09:51 GMT 1, I bought an unsigned Girl With Balloon way back when at Art Republic in Brighton for 85 quid. I’d never heard of Banksy but it was on display and I liked the image. Sold it a few years ago to a local gallery for about 20k. I have no idea if these go for a lot more these days, but I have no regrets. I put the money towards a Dran print (which I much prefer over girl with balloon) a handmade rotary DJ mixer and some bits of furniture we’ve been enjoying for years now :-)
