when will you guys stop with this "real" fan/collector nonsense. what's hard to understand about shepard's continuing growth in popularity. the obama image put shepard on the national map and it's not going to get any easier getting prints. this was an edition of 450, do you honestly think there aren't more then 450 "real" fans trying to get it?

I think a lot of the whining is overblown, but I admit I get cheezed off when I fail to get a print, and yet some account on eBay has 2 for sale the day of the drop.

i get cheezed off when people who are new to the forum complain about "true fans" not getting the print then go on to say they didn't like in the first place and were only trying to get it to trade.....

shepard sells the prints openly to the public through his site and everyone has and equal chance to buy them. this entitlement attitude/mentality that many have is bogus. the thinking that you're a bigger fan then someone else is just smeared.

[highbrow]

WOW 14 on ebay as of now

[conartstudio]

They need to work out and find a way to make these only available to real art collectors or fans or at least upgrade servers

when will you guys stop with this "real" fan/collector nonsense.

yet some account on eBay has 2 for sale the day of the drop.

why did you put what someone else wrote as my quote?

[stickee]

first one just sold on ebay for $226

you do realize that both old and new members get cheezed off, not just the whiners

for me, its more of a morality kind of thing, doing exactly what the artist is against, flipping and preventing people who actually want the print from getting it at the actual price it was set for, and profiting at high turnouts

some people dont do it intentionally, some do it because they need to do so to meet their physiological needs, always there are exceptions what have you...

At least if I would have bought it to trade, it would have stayed within the realm of Obey followers/real appreciators, not sold off for profit to some unknowingly gullible collector

[propogandadan1]

Great day for me...scored this and got a Bad Brains delivered to me, for the cost of what DOH4 will probably sell for.

[zanzi123]

idc really that I didnt get it! I have my friken grail in my room!

How do you know they're are not "real" obey collectors who have more money than time? Are you saying the people who can afford fine art prints are gullible cause they can afford $X,000-$X0,000? I'm actually working/making money all day. It'd be easier for me to throw down $100-$150 on a print than sit in front of a computer for 8 hours trying to buy it. Does that mean I'm not a real follower/appreciator?

Correct, indirectly through tinman.

[noetic]

so is this the last in the doh series, I don't remember seeing a definitive answer anywhere

[stickee]

DOH!

was thinkin about that deal....how was it?

looked like a sweet price

[jecapaga]

Well I wasn't able to grab this one from the obey gods. I tried and really had a shot at it I thought. Not a good trend, I time out for the last two drops just trying to confirm on the OG page after leaving paypal. Makes you think you're about to get it only to be told on the last stage that you have in fact been had. Congrats to those that landed it.

earlier in the thread 2 peeps had rumour of DOH5

[Mad Daego]

Why bicker amongst one another? Fact remains that many of us spent upwards of 9 hours waiting on this, stressing, turning our day upside down, only to be thwarted by a frustrating cart that need not be so. I sacrificed a lot of things today to be at a terminal and am not alone. I made it most of the way through paypal 9 times, got back to the SQL error page once, and never scored. That's bogus man, period. My head is pounding and this half bottle of wine hasn't made a dent yet. And I don't even drink!

What we should be doing is figuring out how to score and sharing experience. For those who did, what was the last page you saw, and how long did you let it sit. I let the OG SQL error page sit, the one that says , "Your order is processing..." or whatever for about 4 minutes. Many of us make it that far. What can we determine this page REALLY means.

1. Does it mean wait?
2. Should we reload it?
3. Should we go back a page and try again?

Also, for those wondering about Firefox timeouts, changing this is SUPER easy. Just google it and the process takes like 4 seconds.

Anyone looking forward to the Google voice search for iPhone? Was supposed to be released on Friday, got pushed to today because Google apparently didn't fully understand the iTunes app approval process.

FYI, it's out now and works well. Not sure how often I'll use it but I can see it coming in handy when my hands are tied.

[blazedoutbee]

the bee was out in under 15 minutes

in and out

like those burger joints out West

Bring on DOH5

[admonkey]

For those who did, what was the last page you saw, and how long did you let it sit.

"Please Enter Your {deleted}-Level Password:," and as long as it took me to enter the characters.

[guppy]

I actually scored this one in class!!

i think a lot of it is poster art fans trying to make a buck. psudo-flippers. there's a lot of people on EB already looking to unload prints, and they do own a lot of art, none of sheps. maybe they will keep one or two.

but I doubt that the majority of the flippers are auto parts dealers. like that one guy a few months back.

[stickertraders]

I got all the way to paying then it moves you back to the OG site to confirm, then I got a "Item No available in your cart" message. Oh so close, better luck next time.

[strangeloop]

Just think:

At least 450 people trying to get one for 6 hours = 2700 hours of our lives wasted.
That's 112. 5 days out of our life. Just sayin's all.

You still owe me ten bucks.

your cat will probably feel better now they have removed the print from it

you should avoid the backdoor process to gain prints, the end result is always a sh!tty mess

[Gigantico]

Cheezed off?
