In fairness I don't think they were expressing surprise but more frustration. I think the rationale behind allowing people to buy two prints was that shep was thinking that many of his collectors could use one of the prints for swaps. It got to the stage, however, where too many of the "second" prints were ending up on the bay. Having said that it hasn't stopped someone already listing a peace goddess on ebay.com.

[slowmo]

Never really considered thePanini Football sticker option, I suppose with so many of them coming out every week you could do a lot of swapping.

[mcnuts]

slowmo, you hear back from Obey yet? radio silence for me thus far.

[slowmo]

No news either

[absyrd]

I have a decent-sized Obey collection.

Recently, I haven't been able to get a new print with times even better than 12:04.

You won't be told you are oversold if you didn't get one. You'll just get a credit back to your paypal 4-7 days later.

It is frustrating so I've basically given up.

thx for that.

[absyrd]

Yeah. I debated on whether or not to tell you my recent experiences. I guess it will be that much better if it turns out that you did get one now, though.

G'luck. ;D

No glad to hear it. I think there was some Obey at SG though the one's there didnt float my boat. I quite liked Peace Goddess and didnt have a chance at Arrows. If next week's print is good, maybe I will have to stay at school and try and use their internet connection. Perhaps that would provide better results . I guess with a 12:06 I can cross my fingers but not hold my breath.

[slowmo]

You never know, it was the first time people couldn't have more than one. I'll keep my fingers crossed as it really appealed to me.

[bombshelter]

Did any one get the arrows print on tuesday?

not i. didnt even have a fair shake at that one.

[brut]

Like everyone else on this thread i have found buying any work from shep over the last 4 - 6 months very frustrating.
I have managed to place orders for proud parents,peace godess & cream war for sale but the rejection email is always there waiting for me in a day or two.
The only spot of luck i did have was when i ordered the red war for sale.When i put the print in the paypal basket it did not register so i did the same process & managed to bag one.
I got a email a few hours later saying that i had ordered 2 prints.
I ignored it knowing i would get a email a day later stating all prints had sold out as per usual.
The email never came & i got a usps tracking number yesterday so happy days are here.
The only thing is i don't need 2 red war for sale prints & i don't want to use ebay.
If anyone has a obey print for a straight swap then please let me know.

[pezlow]

hey brut - I am trying to get a red war for sale. At the moment I am trying to swap with someone from the ebay group but he is being very slow about responding. But if that doesn't happen I can swap your red war for sale for a cream one?

[brut]

Let me know how you get on as a red & cream one framed side by side sounds good to me.
The one thing i have not been able to work out about the double transaction through paypal via obey was who sanctioned it as it was not me? Not that i am complaining.

I was able to score one, though I missed out on Peace Goddes (Im happy

[mcnuts]

Refunded. The buggers

[slowmo]

Confirmed! First Obey at the first time of trying, very happy right now. Sorry to hear about the refund mcnuts

[absyrd]

Congrats then, mo.

Glad I was wrong.

[monkeypuzzle]

If people are looking for obey prints I have some here, swap or sale.

Cinese Building and Visual disobedience are the oldest ones I am selling.

PM me if interested.

[mcnuts]

nature of the beast. will try next week regardless to get a tradeable piece. Whats with BlackRat, are they going to be selling Obey stuff on this side of the pond? I notice they have SF listed for a show?

[pezlow]

McNuts - you will get another chance - Tuesday's print is going to be Peace Goddess Gold. Not sure how this is going to differ from the original print given that there is a lot of gold in that one anyway!

[Johnston America]

The last couple of prints have been the only ones I've missed in a long long time. I have some older stuff I'm looking to trade for Faile stuff, let me know what you have! Thanks...

[mcnuts]

so, who's up for it this week? I really like the PG image but cant decide if i liek the monochrome. Perhaps its a decision that is made easier in the flesh? I guess that means trying to get either. Anyone else?

[goaty]

Couldn't agree with you more mcnuts. This weeks releases seem very bland compared last weeks PG. I feel the image lacks something without all the colour.

[slowmo]

They would make a nice tryptych (not sure that is spelt correctly) with last weeks in the middle of the two. Haven't got the room for that though so will pass on getting either of these.

[pezlow]

I like them. But the question is whether to try for both, and risk getting neither, or employ the safe option and just get one (assuming they both get released at the same time).

I will try for one. Prefer the red but depends what comes up. Still waiting on my refund. Paypal is holding it and I lost $3 in currency conversion which means I spent $3 just to gamble. Not much cash but still, at £1.50, that's a pint!

[mammal2]

what time do they normally go on sale over here in the uk

[absyrd]

It is 12pm PST, so I believe that is 8pm London time.

[pezlow]

Yup that's right. Although in fact it tends to be a couple of minutes past eight when you will first get to see them as the site tends to crash at aroud 7.58. A good tip is to use Mozilla Firefox as your browser as this seems to work better than Internet explorer.
