Shepard Fairey - Soup Can III

[wizzy]

How many "F"s were in it Harveyn???.

[sevenshades]

On the plus side, it has solved my dilema about not being able to afford the upcoming Conor Harrington and JR prints as well as this one

[wizzy]

Love that, silver lining!.

[buffin]

Was always going to be a messy release this one but at least its better than battling with the Obey checkout.

[rosstierney]

they've been manipulating the secondary market price of soup can ii too & effectively soup can iii & iv

they've been buying them up at prices up to $1,000 so they can re-sell them to clients with $$$

i wonder if these 'clients' know they're getting a second hand print? or maybe icono destroys the second hand print & numbers a spare copy which are meant for damage/loss replacements

[darrenrapley]

lol - was looking forward to this. All day have been checking it out for the password and then my aunt came round to tea for an hour.
Totally missed it but considering the bad feelings all round, I am quite happy.
Also - $145 shipping?? Wow - that's a lot!

Those on Twitter / Facebook should slate them publicly

They have made a massive mistake, acted like twats and should be made to learn a lesson.

it's about time christian disclosed the scales

x @ $250
x @ $500
x @ $750

etc.

there's a serious transparency issue here

counter editions don't have a problem releasing this info, why does icono?

the amount of family/friends christian probably disclosed the password to before hand would have near enough cleaned out the $250 prints

nice one

One of the problems is the pricing seems to be based on CART ADDS and not purchases. So if 50 people added it to their cart in the first 5 seconds, price increase happened instantly for EVERYONE, as the system probably said (okay, 50 have been sold so the print is $750)

Proof that it's based on cart adds is the fact that the price keeps going up and down.

Not sure if it would have been possible for ANYONE to get it at 250 if it was based on cart adds and not purchases.

I think you may be right here. They'll know once they sort out all the receipts. But they would never admit this if so.


And it would be nice to see how they break down the prices, although I don't know if I'd believe them anyway. Counter and numerous places use stepped pricing, but I don't know of any other places where the sell out price is 10X the opening price. Either way I still hate stepped pricing even when the increments are reasonable.

just write on shepards facebook page!

What's the chances of this print dropping bang in the middle of England's World Cup qualifier?

Did you manage to get one Winter?.

I wouldn't believe them if they said that the sun sets in the west.

Absolute fiasco.

Looking good though ;D

You can't on facebook. They removed the ability to comment and are busy deleting all the negative comments.

Use the Twitter hash tag... #Iconoclast

;D keep up at the back

[rosstierney]

i don't think i even want them to reply to comments, i'd rather they (icono) just disappear

i'm not gonna be able to handle the brown that's gonna come out their mouth

shep should withdraw soup can iv too

[pezlow]

In fairness most of the people moaning are only doing so because they lost out on a good flip. I've yet to see a single framed pic of Soup Can II

[moleman]

maybe pez or maybe people wanted all 3 or 4 before they framed
just because you dont see dont mean it dont happen i have seen a couple at mr framemans
