Hi Jay,
Thanks for staying with it on this, I know it was tremendously
frustrating for you and for everyone involved. They never made it
onto the site because it was so jammed and we were hacked
Does he also say when they will finally go on sale?

I'd wait to hear what 'hacked' actually means to the author. Though Jason's post was pretty clear about what obeygiant.com thought about the exploits.whyhoo wrote:"hacked" i believe confirms my suspicion... i can't see anyone using "hacked" to refer to using the right URLs... seriously - when has it ever been that the prints did not sell out in 30 minutes? someone has basically launched a DOS attack and that is what has led to all this frustration. the a-track example does not apply - in that case everyone was waiting for the print to show up for sale.extremeimages77 wrote:part of my email from jaspr

if they can script ticketmaster purchases... they sure as hell can script a zen cart purchase! or at least script up something that prevents anyone else from getting through.
ebay would solve this INSTANTLY.

i've said it in the past and i'll say it again, i don't have a problem with people reselling their prints. they bought them, own them and can do what they want with them.... BUT don't come telling us that you buy every print "because you never know when your going to miss a drop and need to trade it down the road", come on now, we're not stupid so stop acting like we are.

Actually the URL said the item was unavailable. You had to deceive the system to make it think it was available. You cant act like it was there ready for the purchase.The items were accesible through a publicly available url.
Its like hopping the fence at the kmart garden center to steal something and saying to the police "They left it outside!"

Thats right, because I bought that Bink, Danzig, and Fear Bush last week. I have already stated why I sold a bunch of prints, my collection goes way beyond just Obey prints, are you going to point out the prints I bought too?spagucci1 wrote:fribhey wrote:what you really meant to say is:Backpackpunk wrote:I will be the first person to stand up and say I buy every print I can because you never know when your going to miss a drop and need to trade it down the road.

random message board post about art wrote: This past weekend I briefly visited a room that had three faithful reproductions of Duchamp's Fountain. Not only did I notice, I used one of them. It's so interesting because the work tells the truth.

That is exactly what I am talking about... This Backpackpunk just goes around putting down other people for things they did years ago when they did not have the best jusgement. In the meantime, he is selling prints all the live long day (which I don't have a problem with either) but to start blabbing about how much debt your in....C'mon, that is not anybody's fault but your own. I've been told by a member on this forum to stay away from this guy because he had a shady transaction with him claiming to not have received a print and then getting a refund. Something is rotten.fribhey wrote:what you really meant to say is:Backpackpunk wrote:I will be the first person to stand up and say I buy every print I can because you never know when your going to miss a drop and need to trade it down the road.

What's the big deal? People spent hours trying to give you their money.
The prints were said to be released on Tuesday and the technique everyone used to get the prints is the same technique that a few of us use on a regular basis for Obey releases.
I claim ignorance. I didn't know the print didn't drop. I used the same process that I always use and was successful.
Honor the purchases.
