I wanna leave it a month and then put in an offer for the POW sofa.. It'd be a veritable pandora's box!

More like a Tardis down the back of that Sofa

I check ebay all the time and have never seen anyone say "it's in transit"

With all due repect you probably check pow all the time but sometime you will still miss out on prints.

You may want to check ebay completed listings for the past 90 days ( if you subscribe?) Micallef sms, location London, in transit!

Exactly!! if I miss it and i check it daily then it cannot be policed, especially not by a few numpties who roll up posters and stick them in tubes allday.

[Montubu7]

Again from my post


I doubt they have bods scouring listings on a weekly basis but without a doubt they are aware of it & its human nature!

So thats saying at some point POW employess will look at ebay, i didnt say Police ebay, just look!
If theres something glaringly obvious where someone has put the print No & that its 'In transit' im sure they could/would quite easily cancel the sale & refund the card.

The one example 'in transit' i have seen is SMS after 5th feb reopening, listed on the day/night the few turned up on pow.

Anyway off to the pub........

[Run Pig Run]

...have a good night, but I still don't think they would bother. Ebay would never give POW the personal details of the 'in transit' man, so there would be no way of linking the 'in transit' man to one of the prints that have been sold. the only way of proving that..........ow, fuck it i need a drink now....bye.

[Montubu7]

No, what i mean is if you bagged a Micallef today, say 50/500 listed it asap & they spotted it ( on the very off chance) , with or without in transit/post etc it could quite easily jog someones memory at pow ( If they only sold it today) - if they looked on ebay/if they care?

I know if i worked @ Pow i would be all over ebay - maybe they should just release the Banksy's on ebay all at 1p auctions & see what happens.

I am keeping an eye out for a few things now that i had put in my basket recently & then chose not to buy, as it shows the print number when its in your basket, i would guess that a good % of those will be on the bay pretty sharpish..or maybe not.?

Anyway its my 3rd stella so im probably rambling.....really gone.

Ta!

Knowing my luck they will release the remaining 92 eric t' dog prints tonight & i will miss out!

[corblimeylimey]

POW aren't going to bother looking through ebay, and I'm sure they don't want loads of emails from people on here trying to be POW ebay police, they can hardly handle their jobs as it is without a whole load more to do.

bit of a long shot but i take your point.

[goffy]

FU*K

[goffy]

I'm pissed off I missed out on a JD and Faile, but glad that that they seem to have been snapped up by people who really want them. Hopefully.

[ogrgel]

the strategy POW is using to fight ebay sales of prints is starting to make sense ..
' don't buy of ebay because you never know if we sold out for real ..'

[goffy]

doesn't make sense. How long are you suppose to wait!

[®at]

No I dont think its a strategy...just genuine incompetence (to paraphrase their own words)

[reados]

you guys are bickering over a theory about pow watching ebay and pulling prints from people who have then on order.and are selling them before they receive them. Ok

I have nothing on ebay, and there is a problem with my order from feb 5th, so shurely that blows that theory out the ground?

bloody hel it way past my bed time - night all

[pezlow]

There's a problem with my order from the 5th as well. Dora emailed me to ask what I had bought. It was so tempting to tell her I'd picked up a couple of micallefs, but in the end honesty got the best of me.....

;D ;D ;D

They'd have been gone anyway. I ordered a green grenade girl but it's gone to someone else. Refund on my way.

[pezlow]

Mike - that sucks. Guess a refund is on its way to me for the sold out stuff I bought with that order :-(

[reados]

i think they need to sort all the back orders and problems before we see any new stuff, i think they're getting there, but why they dont hold on to a few rare prints to offer instead of a refund, id be more than happy with a jd even if i had to pay the diffeence. instead they just stickem on the web forsale, bizarre. I really don't think anything is planned, it seems like chaos.

[psp500]

never noticed 'size does not matter' looks new to me (?)

[bond]

awful stuff !!!!!

[psp500]

true, theres no way im having that on my wall

[bond]

quite !!!! i have enough trouble sneeking tubes up the stairs and lying to the missus about the price as it is ! but i would'nt line the cat litter with this muck !!!!!

[dave313perry]

saw this yday, thought there was no point posting is as someone probably already had, plus the fact its pretty crap and uninspirational, blends into the other prints seamlessly, so much so nobody noticed it!!

[carlito]

ugh..yes new...but really if you've got a g/f would she accept it on the wall? and if you're single - want kind of impression does it give when you bring a girl back?

hahah i cant believe i do exactly the same thing lol. sneake da micallef up to the loft last night!!!

[bond]

it's risky though !! i dare not tell her that the bloke with no head and things flying about , ie my Nick Walker headless astro canvas cost £ 1,500 . Problem is she is clumsy ! half of me wants to say pls be careful because... The other half of me is keeping quiet and crossing my fingers that it does'nt get knocked off the wall or clawed by the cat !

[saltandiron]

I thought Size does not matter had been up for ages.

I really like Mode2's stuff, there's a vibrancy about it that I think a lot of other stuff around doesn't have. But horses for courses,

Here's more of the stuff he's better known for,

[Imoy-San]

I paid for a "Touch and Feel" print in Feb, which still hasn't turned up.

I like his stuff, just that I can't cough up money for something I may not get! POW seems unable to give a delivery date!

Have to agree with you on that one. Mode 2 really inspired me when I was growing up. IMO his work with the Chrome Angelz in Subway Art was superb. Great graf from back in the day! I don't mind the more sexually orientated prints (though agree they would never find a place on my wall!), but prefer the dancing/social gatherings work. Great energy.

There's some new stuff from the Loud Graphix seminars and shows (links through recent Laz news)-

Love these images from there-







Any ideas on who's featuring on the vinyl in the last picture? Think the duo may well be Daft Punk due to the headwear (and the Eiffel Tower in the background), but not sure on the trio. Anyone know any French hip hop threesomes?!

[psp500]

a tribe called quest?
