After Banksy, by sammyman on Feb 21, 2007 7:06:08 GMT 1, Which artist will sell out the fastest on POW? Yesterday, prints went pretty fast with McLauchlan and Insect. Makes me wonder who will follow. I imagine the order would be like...
1. Banksy (< 1 min)
2. Micallef (< 5 min)
3. Etc......

McLauchlan within ten minutes and Eine within about an hour. Many people will buy to sell/ swap but that's how it is now. All POW can do is limit buyers to one print each and ensure that they have reasonable size print runs- 750 not 75!

After Banksy, by pastiepie on Feb 22, 2007 1:21:58 GMT 1, A lot of people didn't buy the Insect and Lucy prints because they liked them. Just because they were so rare they felt if they were able to attain one then they should. This kinds of hype / panic buying denies the people that actually like the artist a chance to buy. I'm sure there are already people with regrets, even more so in a few years time when their "investment" isn't worth anything.
The artist contributes but ultimately POW controls who will sell out. If they made a big announcement about new prints in a week, with people fully expecting it to be Banksy but actually releasing prints by blu they would still sell out in <5min.
Maybe I'm just jaded that I can't afford any prints on the secondary market but it all seems to be about hype / pr now as opposed to the actual image.

It's not gonna change, life goes on! Maybe you'd be happier with how James Cauty sells a lot of his editions. Shows the collectors, scalpers, carpetbaggers whoever wants a print, what they are going to get and how ever many people buy the print that becomes the size of the edition. Perfect. Secondary market is minimal.
