POW website overhaul soon

[mido]

POW are overhauling their website ASAP.

should help everyone. us, the customers. and them, POW.

The current ordering system simply lets you order until they tell the website to stop letting people order. That's why there have been the odd 'problems' with over-ordering of soup cans and J&J signed copies. It also partly explains why they might occcasionally have a few prints left that have officially been sold out (i.e. because they might have to pull the print off to prevent possible over ordering whislt they are away - e.g. in the evening or weekend).

Anyway, the new system will only allow the on-line ordering system to sell the amount of copies that they have available. And it will probably limit people to 2 copies each.

[Daniel Silk]

ahhhh, thats good to hear about it will only sell the number that is still available Its always been a bit of a worry you see the money go, but you just cant be sure that you have really got it until it arrives at your door ;D

[mido]

people obviously get disappointed and it gives an impresion of bad customer service. And POW have to spend some of their valuable time dealing with the fallout. 'Customers' even shout at the staff!!

Calm down people. It's only a print! It's not world poverty.

P.S. yes, it has happened to me, so I know how you feel, but having a go at someone is not the answer.

[mido]

P.S. Also loads of new stuff lined up for when the website is relaunched! :-)

Don't know what they are.....just heard that new stuff will be ready.....

[monochrome]

new website won't make my prints ordered over a month ago come faster i don't think.... they aren't even signed either!

[Daniel Silk]

A couple of new Banksy prints on the new site would be nice ;D

I think they could go for a bigger edition run this time maybe 750 unsigned & 350 signed?

Some new prints from D*Face would also help get the new website off to a good start

is that J&J (Police Kids)? When I was at POW last week they didn't have any around - not sold out (but must be close judging on some of the numbers of unsigned one already being sold on ebay to stupid people) - just needed to screen print some more up....

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, must be very close to the end.

I see an unsigned J&J one on ebay going for £150+
Sounds silly but if it sells out on POW next week it would be a good buy

yeah, but wouldn't if be even better buy if people who really wanted it simply ordered it through POW, and then the right people get them, rather than speculators? and they can get it for £75!

Saw a great D*Face canvas at Santa's Ghetto - a 'dog' flying into stonehenge. That'd make a great print (hint hint )

[Daniel Silk]

That Canvas is on the www.dface.co.uk website now for £300 ;D

Pretty good buy I would think

[mido]

not sure when new web site wiil be ready. POW still working on it....

[thekevster]

[samsky]

Not sure what plans there are for Banksy....

But I know there are several things that POW will hopefully be selling soon, such as the excellent show poster from the Collette exhibition in Paris, and a new Eine is a very different style to his other stuff.

[mido]

just on POW website.......

"The revamped website, promised for so long and unlikely to be worth the wait, goes live next week. It will however, boast some of the freshest stuff we've ever made so please visit us again. "

Get your bank account ready... :-)

[monochrome]

bring it on........*









* i bet its more bloody coloured alphabets!

[mido]

I've already got two of the ones they will probably put up, and have seen one of the others.... (don't worry folks, I'm not talking about banksy stuff... I'm not that lucky / influential to get to see banksy stuff before release!)

[mido]

well, actually POW do have some amazing AP's of Eine's newest Alphabet St, with all glittery background. mental, but how would you get it home , put it on wall etc?? It would be like the christmas tree losing its needles :-)

[LoveRat]

Ah, thats where that bloody glitter came from . I got some Banksy prints recently and they had glitter all over them .

[thekevster]

Yeah, theres cake loads of glitter on some stickers i got recently.

Whats the betting that IF a new banksy does get released it will sell unlike anyother before.......

[Run Pig Run]

I think if anyone here gets a signed banksy they will be lucky. Imagine all the people sat at there computer next week ready to purchase a signed banksy to sell on ebay. If there is 350 signed and people are allowed two each there is only 175 going really. I can see this going the same way as my elusive reading festival tickets.

[monochrome]

I wouldn't worry too much.

Since February, there have only been 25 J&Js appear on eBay - not that much.

You are assuming that the next print will be another J&J... but in reality it could be another Toxic Mary or a higher priced Grin Reaper.

I favour a £200 print, limited to 250 run with 100 signed. But rather than release 1 print, they should release 3 or 4 prints at a time - that way, people would have to lay out £1200 to 'double up'.

And that is a lot of cash most people do not have lying around.

Anyway, I bet nothing appears next week.

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, from the time of the Signed Jack & Jills selling out hundreds of new people have found out about Banksy, and they are all going to be desperate to get their hands on their first signed print

[monochrome]

i think we over hyping the 'fan' base here. 200 members on here, 360 on eBay - most never log in..... ok, so there is a mailing list, but again, how many people subscribe?

we'll (i mean those who log in here everyday) be ok, of that i'm sure.
