What’s the text From an Edition means? Just one available?

[jp226]

I heard that there is a shredded GWB T-shirt which is an edition... But after talking with some insiders, it sounds like a majority of stuff is lottery based.

Love this. Fascinated to see how he sells this stuff. Feels very unlikely he’d just do a standard shop sale. Hope he works out a way to put a lot of this in the hands of people who would never usually be able to afford his work.

He has already said that pricing will range from £10 upwards. I am sure that most people who want something will find something within their price range.



He has also said he intends to buy a migrant rescue boat. I'm not sure if he'll be able to do that by underselling his editioned works

[cest]

Is there an insta for the site? I see a couple out there but nothing that looks official

Since the days of POW it feels like people have got a lot better at gaming online drops, just look at sneaker culture.

I'd prefer a lottery.

He knows exactly what he's doing selling them at below market value and trying to find ways to share profits with random people.

I love Banksy, he's also helped me buy a house reselling a print, after lovingly having it on the wall for 5+ years. I ended up putting 10x the original price on new artists and still had a life changing amount of money

He paid for my divorce!!!

Sadly, I wish I'd kept the prints now.

Even if the system has won, that does not mean we cannot lose gracefully.

Recon lottery or bot fight?

Surely it has to be a lottery with a load of the posters dropping online for everyone to have ..

With the amount of Shopify bots out there hoovering up sneakers I hope it's lottery

"The works will only be available to buy online from a website that the artist says, “will open shortly, then crash, then open again”"

Ugh... just bought a couple of the latest / final wall sections. They are nice though... Guess now we have an idea of what the new merch will be at the hotel

[c5br]

It's most likely to be a lottery system for the majority of items but with a £10 buy in, that way they will raise the money needed.

Just sit back, embrace it, enjoy it, and good luck.


... and don't start moaning if you're unlucky enough not to get anything... it's boring.

I would really hope it's a lottery, i would feel less let down, but happier knowing i didn't get beat out by some supreme bot.

I meant so those £10 things go to people whose budget would be £10. Low pricing doesn't mean it would be bought only by people who have limited funds - a millionaire can spend £10 too. It's the buying method that makes the difference.

Hope it is lottery for everything. At least that gives everyone an equal shot. And if he limited how many things you could enter the lottery for, wealthier people would surely go for the higher priced items, which would have fewer lottery entrants.

p.s. Don't start moaning if you're unlucky and don't get anything... it's boring.

Everyone is entitled to exactly the art they want, regardless of the level of demand, and if they don't get it it was a fix.

[coller]

i hope it's a lottery for the prints/originals, otherwise i see most of them going to a select group of people who are good at online releases

i also hope they have a bot trap, i.e. 3-4 fakeout items listed for 1,000,000 GBP+

good luck everyone!

I hope that the unlimited items are really unlimited/time editioned.

this may sound dumb, but how does a bot work?

like say if Guy A was like "im gunna get this through a bot"...what happens?

Not asking b/c I want directions, haha...just don't know what that actually entails when people say bots.

Anyone know if it's easy to park nearby? Planning to go tonight

[T-Bro]

I was hoping that it was a page similar to monkey island 2 where you had to click the screen in the exact right place to turn the light on - but this click would take you to the shop...

[kjg]

I already called my creditcard company just to check that everything is ok.

Last time with the KAWS museum print everything ended in chaos because of that.

You'd have to be quite brave to drive through Croydon let alone leave your car there unattended for any amount of time.

Ah! Good idea! I always forget to do the little, yet very important, things like that. Good luck!

Why's he spelt seize wrong... Or is it deliberate... 😱
