Quick Strategy Question...I got my token coming back from paypal, but could never get OG page to accept so I kept refreshing the Token URL, but it didnt work. Are you not supposed to keep refreshing the token if it doesnt work the first time?

I believe so. But as I stated earlier, I still didn't get through.

[idolize]

does anyone think there is a system in scoring prints? if you do please don't give it away, iv'e been having good luck.

does anyone think it's a skill, like do you think every time you try you get better?

I used to get them on a regular basis this year I got one, and passed on Guerrilla1 and Bad Brains

[choisez]

So whats the trick once you hit submit? do you refresh once it doesn't take? or do you go back a page to hit it again (if the screen loads)?

I always go back.

I'll try that next time.

I sound like an addict.

"Why can't I quit you?!" Ha, ha.

2 Questions:

how many of the people that were asking for random drops and DIDNT score still want random drops?

and

how many of the people that were asking for random drops and DID score still want random drops?

not that it makes a bit of difference...

I submitted with the Paypal token like 100 times and never saw the final submit.

Same here ... 45 minutes trying to do final click after PayPal ... and finally reached an empty cart.

So ... my question ... WHY does Obey need to have that final return to its store? CLICK confirm on PayPal and it should be done. There is NO reason for that final page at the Store.

[MUZZY]

thats crazy, so that really was up earlier for some than others?

[eljimmy]

I think I got it. It's gonna look good between 2 of these!!

Is that a red "Peace Bomber" stamp on it? Where did you score that? sick!

Got it screened at a Obama event that Shep sponsored. He dug it and signed it right off the press.

[jandrisani]

got back from paypal but submit wouldnt go though. tried and triend and tried. backed out and tired again.

oh well, good luck to all who got a paypal email.

maybe ill grab a big proof and hope they mess up the order

[shawndoc]

Really wanted this one for my wife. Any offers from anyone wanting to sell me theirs? PM

[displaced bear]

Everyone would prefer truly random (as in random day and time and no announcement of any sort of print release) or just an announced date and time (so we can just rumble and find out quickly instead of waiting around all day).

Good luck everyone!!!

30 Minute Ban by acclamation of the membership.

Didn't mean to pizs everyone off. I really did bag a print that early. Got a small pack of stickers too.

So quick to crucify!

It popped up for me guys and I got one. Just got paypal confirm. Not BSing either

Think they're talking about you not the others in your office. Thought you got one? BAN!!

I also didnt mean to pis$ anyone off with my early "got one" post. Some people need to calm down with the "BAN"s though

BAN!
..............
Just kidding.

for other drops I kept refreshing my token and eventually got it.

But this time no. So that approach works ... if you can get through the traffic jam.

Must be patient also.

I've scored on different computers using different methods. I've also failed on different computers using different methods. As far as I can tell it's luck, at least in my experience.(unless of coarse you have a computer lab full of people f5ing away, then your odds are slightly increased).

Got an obey confirm and an order number - not sure if that means I got one or not, time to tuck kids into bed. Peace and hope many got one!!

durn I got a error on page on the submit page, had to try again from the start, should I have just stayed on that page and continued to try the submit button?

So whats the trick once you hit submit? do you refresh once it doesn't take? or do you go back a page to hit it again (if the screen loads)?

I made it pretty smoothly through PayPal and back, but once I got to the "Submit" button, it was a slow death. I clicked "Submit" and then I just kept refreshing over and over again until it finally expired from my cart.

Sometimes, I'd go from "http://obeygiant.com/store/payment/payment_cc.php" back to "http://obeygiant.com/store/cart.php?mode=checkout" and see the "Submit" button again, so I manually pasted and clicked the previous page to refresh hell.

Ugh.

I'm guessing everyone either made it through the same hurdle or didn't.

Looks like it's off to the secondary market for me.

And IMHO, I'd rather go through scheduled drops, instead of spending all day in waiting.

Times like this, really puts the sting into collecting Shepard's prints. Only the strong survive, huh?

-Eddy

If you go to "http://obeygiant.com/store/payment/payment_cc.php" and nothing is being submitted to the server (it's not asking for permission to "resend"), you're just wasting connections and bandwidth.

Let me clarify, I got stuck on "http://obeygiant.com/store/payment/payment_cc.php" after hitting "Submit" and sometimes, it'd take me back to the "http://obeygiant.com/store/cart.php?mode=checkout" url.

Either way, looks like I just wasted connections, bandwidth and my time.

Anyone else surprised this took less than an hour to sell out?

[spagucci1]

OK ... so I use PayPal Express Checkout ... which has worked fine for prior Obey print drops ... but not this time (probably due to massive traffic jam).

BUT question remains: why does OBEY need us to come back to their page just to click "confirm."

According to PayPal, in its Express Checkout work flow, "The buyer can then proceed to review the order on your site. You can include other necessary checkout steps."

BUT there really are no other "necessary checkout steps". All that can be done BEFORE we are sent to PayPal, making it the final step for payment. Done and done.

When it comes back, and you hit submit, it removes the print from the OG cart's inventory.

How long till the first one shows up on ebay? 20 minutes?

[sti2relaxxin]

This world stinks. Congrats to everyone who scored a print!
