Just in case the gallery (PoW, etc) decide to blackball them from future releases. That's the theory anyway.

Yep. Although i think the key thing is honesty. If you approach them as a reseller then thats one thing, then decisions can be made if they want to hedge their bets and off load the risk that prints wont sell out to somone else. Its when people approach them as collectors but it turns out they were not. Thats when people start to feel a bit used. Its understandable really.

PoW claimed that they were holding a database of those who had been flipping prints and that these people wouldn't be getting Morons. Given the amount that have since been put out on ebay, I think their system might be a tad flawed.

Sure is, I know someone that has been excluded from the "Preview invite list" for selling on.

Apparently SOS are getting in voice recognition software and POW are investing heavily in eye scanning technology.

I would agree with you there as its the same names on ebay selling prints on almost immediately.
Im sure Its not difficult to find a friend or member of your family to pay.
