Ghetto - Who has bought what so far?, by Ripper1331 on Dec 12, 2007 6:38:21 GMT 1, I have no urge to get up at 3 am and hope for something good. I liked the Faile and Bast ones but the prices have gone up so much in the past year its hard to justify it.

Ghetto - Who has bought what so far?, by krazy on Dec 12, 2007 8:27:48 GMT 1, I bought my first faile. Love at first sight! Might be a bit expensive, but it's christmas and for a good cause. So I don't regret it at all... That's it so far. What good cause would that be? POW's bottom line I'm afraid...
You're kidding right?? All money is going to kids in Palestine. The artists, and PoW aren't making a dime from this.... or is that only from stuff sold in the Palestine store?? Hmm.

It's been discussed elsewhere many times but the consensus seems to be as follows:
Only money raised from the sale of items in Bethlehem will go to local childrens charities. Nothing from online sales will be donated to the cause.

Ghetto - Who has bought what so far?, by dave313perry on Dec 12, 2007 22:51:24 GMT 1, Iv bought nothing so far....reasons and observations!!!....
My observation is that most people who have been on the scene for some time havnt bought as much as newbies have, not judging anybody in that what so ever, just an observation!
not seen anything that takes my fancy
Aiko - dislike the images although the Edition number, hand finishing is cool and decent value, not my bag though, but neither is the previous stuff, a little overpriced if anything IMO
Bast - again semi-decent prices and hand finishing etc - but bland and unimagionative imagery IMO, i like the fact its rustic and 'outside the box' but i just dont find the content compelling or imagionative myself.
Blu - iv yet to buy a Blu print, i just cant see it translating to paper, such a fantastic street artist, my pick of the year btw! shame the edition isnt a little lower, i wouldnt have bought but i bet many more would have.
Eric the dog - am i right in thinking that eric il cane and eric the dog is the same thing??? never taken much interest, until that Sam3 and eric il cane piece! the donkeys with tied tales WOW f**kin WOW - i think thats ace! the prints however leave alot to be desired for me, just dont get it, really quirky and i can however understand how some people would like them.
Faile - Typical faile imagery, just ok for me, ยฃ400 not ok for me! there seems to be alot of interest around faile at the minute which im not sure where its come from, LAZ probably with his auctions, their work has indeed taken a step up in recent releases but i cant bring myself to spend that kind of money on a faile...suppose abit like buying a $3500 banksy when you bought all the rest at ยฃ75. maybe it was my bad taste passing up on originals for under a grand a year or two ago, but i dont regret it!!
Kelsey Brookes - the most reasonably priced IMO, its a fair few prints that have been sold saying that and i expect many of these to be put back on ebay at a loss! cant understand these flying off the shelves and other recent releases at a lesser price, stronger images, more limited editions sitting on a website for a while. oh wait i can - its the ghetto effect!!!!
I still think the best is yet to come! anyone spent out so far is going to regret it! not much chance though unless you have endless time on your hands...bloody students! Sorry il leave now im rambling

Ghetto - Who has bought what so far?, by BME on Dec 13, 2007 0:55:34 GMT 1, Some nice pieces but nothing has inspired me to actually take the plunge. I never cease to be astounded how quickly the stuff sells out. I mean it's still possible to buy BAST originals (on paper) for US$900 so why the rush for prints at 200-350 quid? 400 quid for a signed faile from an edition of 175 is okay but makes the 65 quid for the unsigned marmaid on the POW site look pretty damn good- and no-one is rushing to buy those.

Ghetto - Who has bought what so far?, by melmoth on Dec 13, 2007 5:02:11 GMT 1, Picked up the Faile. As someone who is into comic books, it appeals to me a lot, and is a lot more, well, straightforward than some of their other efforts.
I am hoping to be able to get the Banksy, but I am very interested to see how the 3D and Paul Insect prints turn out. The originals that they have on display at the Ghetto look very good, particularly the 3D pieces.
