I can't see anything being able to be done from an IT sense to prevent bots>manual. It's a problem no-one has been able to devise a fix for yet.

there are lots of things that can be done.  it just takes time/resources to customize drops.. but also to track/blacklist/block.

[tahitimini]

since they don't make a drop every day, I would expect them to prepare each drop well and lock out bots. In the end, they lose their reputation with the customers and the artists. The artists also get negative comments on their Instagram for every fucked up drop. This is not the first time they have problems with bots but the first time that more or less only bots have won *g*

its much easier to destroy than to create here, I can't see anything being able to be done from an IT sense to prevent bots>manual. It's a problem no-one has been able to devise a fix for yet. The future is likely going to be retail items going directly to platforms like StockX

Just going to have to suck it up

Sms verification is a starting point

I can't imagine any suggestion coming up that can't be mostly automated to make it faster than doing it manually

[acaipride]

Call order in, verify details for the customer.

This is the fix, it just requires more time and devotion of the artist and print house, I would say print house mostly...but this fix is nvr going to happen

" And waste all this time for one print? We can sell 150 in 2 minutes, can't imagine vetting 150 phone calls". Actual conversation with one of the lovely print houses on here..keeping it civil, I won't mention the name. But that is the reality,..profits and the time it takes to achieve the same results.
As long as the sell out, they can care less more.

Bot folks would just hire a service desk company to handle the calls

Nope it wouldn't work, trust me I've seen this system used in other collection market's..it is effective, very, but equally time consuming.

Did you know that there is a govt agency that only deals through phones, no internet, for security reasons. Read/Research

So does anybody know if these prints will be going on sale again after the original sales were cancelled?

Nothing on the Graffiti Prints website (apart from sold out) or Twitter, i've read that they have commented on Instagram but don't have an account so unable to read it so if somebody has the answer i'd be grateful if you could share.

The cancelled £28k of sales including shipping.
Email them if interested. They will go through all of them over the weekend and allocate. Info correct at time of posting.
And sign yourself up to Instagram.

The past week has been a nightmare in Texas

I know, I'm still awaiting a delivery I sent out there to another forumite.

[acaipride]

Only print I've got from GP is Nuno's crown..from an outsider's POV, GPs business model resembles the stock market more than a print house...pre ipo, insiders, reserve of prints to sell at market price some time later..huh? What is that??

I've also leveled the playing field..I stopped being interested.

any version Double Trouble

Those 3 mini prints I ordered were cancelled this morning, when I went to re-buy shipping went down, from 60£ for the order to 15£ for all 3!!! Woohoo!!!

Good to hear they changed it. I had all three in the cart but didn't agree with the shipping cost, so ended up just picking one for now.

I paid GBP 60 shipping for a set and received a refund of GBP 40 yesterday.

Didn't ask for it - others received it as well.

Well done GP!

I guess that you could look at it that some people were prepared to pay three seperate shipping charges, Graffiti Prints are shipping the prints together and saving their customer money.

Now it's clear shipping will be combined i will probably buy all three

Anyone have any luck in the “redraw” by Graffiti Prints? Had one in my cart on the original but lost out and have refreshed my email far too many times today in the hope of getting an email through. If anyone can put me out my misery by saying they’ve already been sent out, that’d be great 😀

Looks like I can answer my own question now

All winners have been emailed / invoiced. Well done if that’s anyone here.

[mrizzle]

I have received my invitation to buy and corresponding invoice. I didn’t hesitate for a second in paying it. I finally managed to land my hands on a Pez print from source and I am genuinely delighted!! Can’t wait to receive it and discuss framing options with MFM.

Aww thank you Morfx. I really have to thank Graffiti Prints for their efforts to land these in the hands of fans. It really is extremely admirable and they’ve made this fan extremely happy. A very nice way to close out the weekend.

If someone got a triple leaf gold to spare, I have a main and some extra to offer.

You're doing it wrong, but you can also afford the secondary from your Banksy tat

I stay away from tat and just collect official PCO issued merch

[ecudat]

They did well by binning off the bots, but the whole "we'll allocate over the weekend" suggested to me they'd award to those they know...certainly I didn't get one and have been trying to buy stuff in their vault sales (unsuccessfully) over the last year or so and tried for the Whatson Stag. (Didn't rate the Panda so didn't enter the lottery!)

Being newish to collecting seem to mean that GP releases are off limits to me as things stand...

Get yourself situated with a more reputable printer like Avante or Pace. Try buying 2-3 works a year that are not the only most hyped artists from their collection.
