Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by love on May 4, 2011 16:22:58 GMT 1, I would flip the shit out of this poster if i would be there. I think 40 GBP is a bit optimistic, but i'm sure you can sell these for 6 GPB at any time. I find no way investing my hard earned money for more than a 20% win without any risk.
If you find a way, let me know.

Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by lee3 on May 4, 2011 16:23:49 GMT 1, >>>Ok its a quick 2 mins in photoshop, but IMHO this is more of what he should have gone for - "soup thrower!" A knowing nod to previous iconic image, edited for the occasion.<<<
But it already is, no? The photo of the riots a couple weeks ago was in stokes croft, right below the mild mild west. Granted they weren't teddy bear ravers rioting over tesco but the photo had coppers and shields crowded right below their depiction in that composition and now he's taken a twist on the molotov cocktail from that painting and giving the proceeds to the peoples republic.

Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by des77 on May 4, 2011 16:29:10 GMT 1, Why did Banksy choose to publicize this release?  The people who are gonna make money out of this are the flippers rather than PRSC, so would it not have been better to keep it secret so only those going to the Anarchist Book Fair got their hands on them 
er.. maybe because if they didnt promote it, 40 people would have purchased where now its going to be 100's or 1000's sold. If only a few are sold that helps the flippers more no ?

or make it eye-wateringly expensive (ยฃ50+) to reduce the numbers of people trying to stockpile them to sell at profit, and to actually raise some dosh for the collective

Banksy is doing this to raise money for PSRC.
Option1
He publicises it.
They sell more.
They make more money.
Job Done.
(and yes, some of those sold will be resold for profit, but the original ones had raised funds)
Option2
No one says anything
They sell a few to a few people who attend the book fair.
They make little money.
Less funds for PRSC
(and those who happened to go there can then sell them on for a greater project).
The bottom line is Banksy has dontated this image to raise funds for PRSC.
(The only thing they could have done to raise even more cash would be to sell them for twice the price, or to sell them online as well - and there's no way the guys at PRSC are set up for worldwide orders - Bristol Museum shop couldn't cope, PRSC can't either)

Indeed. No one going to the event could complain about queue jumpers.

I just look forward to hearing how it goes for the people who wander into the fair and ask for 200 of the posters.
This is the same bookfair who have printed the following stickers for promotion...
bookfair - capitalism isn't working
bookfair - for a post capitalist society

Banksy โข Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by joeschmo on May 4, 2011 16:40:26 GMT 1, Not really, these will be selling for 40 quid in no time, banging a 7k + profit. Not bad for a 1k investment. So you know 100 people primed and ready to go?? Can't see them going for 40 quid now that you let everyone know how easy it is to make 6k Stupid is as stupid does......
I don't think you understand quite how many people are on the quick buck game here, especially in this area.

I think 40 quid was a low ball estimate, they'll settle around 60 quid once the ebay melt down has died off then climb from there. I remember when I used to give these Can posters away with shit I sold on ebay, what a joke.

They can turn down stupid offers obviously, but I think this system would be better.
