I guess they were up a little earlier. Still amazing.

[DMBTattoo]

I guess they were up a little earlier. Still amazing.

yeah some of the guys over on EB are sayign its the fastest poster sell out ever.

[ali815]

i still can't believe so many of these sold so quickly. is it because it's a part of a series? are they releasing anymore prints before election day? i still see other artist prints still available on the site...so confused as to why this sold so quickly.

[Rob D]

4750 x $70 = $332,500
4750 X $70 X .75 (25% discount) = $249,375

fairey is a bitch.

[Rob D]

and i bet he made it 25% off so he could fall under the 250k household income tax bracket :lol :lol :lol

[DMB22JEEP]

[DMB22JEEP]

If you think we got it hard... sheps shit sells out in a minute every fucking time - his web site crashes and it ALL goes to flippers... at least we have 3 chances to buy a poster (warehouse, venue, methane)

[younevrknow]

and i bet he made it 25% off so he could fall under the 250k household income tax bracket :lol :lol :lol

LOL nice- I wish I knew the 25% off code when I bought the "Words of Change" poster- I think it looks really neat (though all my friends think I wasted my $$)

[DMB22JEEP]

all of the top posters on EB now are obama related

[Jack]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260308514358

we should create an eBay account and bid him up to $25,000.00.

[jrh83]

Lets do it

[Jack]

god, I just wanted to buy two and sell the second to pay for the first. 425? All the power to him.

[McGinnisM]

If anyone picks up one of my avatar's tomorrow, please sell it to me for face!

[ali815]

[McGinnisM]

Fairey "Dia de los muertos"

http://obeygiant.com/images/2008/10/dia-de-de-los-muertos-obey.jpg

[ali815]

[ali815]

If anyone picks up one of my avatar's tomorrow, please sell it to me for face!

Are we allowed to buy more than one from obey? i won't be around all day but i'll try in the morning...

[jrh83]

[liog22]

Are we allowed to buy more than one from obey? i won't be around all day but i'll try in the morning...

no, limit is 1.

[MUZZ]

i wonder what time that will go up? very nice

[ali815]

no, limit is 1.

okay thanks. I would've definitely tried to get one for ya, McGinnis. i doubt i'll even be here for the drop anyhow...but it's a nice print!

[McGinnisM]

I'm in the paypal waiting stage for the Fairey print now. Why does paypal take such a long time? I thought his site took long enough!

[McGinnisM]

SOAB! I didn't get it.

If anyone did, please sell it to me! No chance I'm spending a fortune on eBay for this one!

[jrh83]

i have clicked buy it now 4 time and then i time out

[jrh83]

are they gone now?

[McGinnisM]

are they gone now?

I got all the way through paypal, back to his site and hit submit order. I got the hourglasses for a few minutes and it told me there was none available.

[jrh83]

well i just got to pay pal sucks for me

[McGinnisM]

well i just got to pay pal sucks for me

Might as well keep trying! It's worth a shot.

[jrh83]

back to obey and submitted order will see from here

[jrh83]

Got it, wow.

[McGinnisM]

Got it, wow.

WTF??? How did it come up unavailable for me 1/2 hour ago?

[jrh83]

thats fucked up

[McGinnisM]

thats fucked up

Sure is. Enjoy your poster.

Hopefully it's not yours up on eBay already.

[jrh83]

thats whack, no mine will not be on e bay

[McGinnisM]

thats whack, no mine will not be on e bay

If you do come to selling, let me know!

Anyone else who has one give me a holler!

[MooreSaxPlease]

Im willing to give up my Johnny Ramone for this print.. . let me know!!

[ali815]

how about this for frustrating:

Woke up and jumped online around 8:30am PST, and didn't move until 5:20pm, when I had to go to work. It drops shortly thereafter. Almost 9 hours of sitting in front of the stupid computer and didn't even get a crack at it. I really wanted it to give to my brother for Christmas, but I guess he'll have to settle for a couple of candy canes instead...I'm feeling so bummed right now...:bitch

[McGinnisM]

How about getting all the way through and being told it's not available, and someone after you gets it, that's frustrating! Oh well, life goes on...

[ali815]

totally frustrating! i was reading a different message board to pass the time while i waited, (maybe thegiant.com?) and they said it's really annoying because of how many times that happens to people - the sales can last hours for like a few hundred prints...

[jkoch]

jesus. there are 84 vote posters CURRENTLY on ebay. holy fuck man. that is ridiculous

[Andrewuvm]

Anyone notice that Keepmefloating (DMBallday) reported a sale of $800...

http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/89816

[mxpxillini35]

Anyone notice that Keepmefloating (DMBallday) reported a sale of $800...

http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/89816

Yeah...but it wasn't counted towards the total.

[liog22]

Yeah...but it wasn't counted towards the total.

Didn't know that was keepmefloating - good to see that the EB mods are aware of their antics.

[DMBTattoo]

that was $800 was nuts, yet a BIN of $750 just went on ebay too... prices are rising quickly avg is 230 now..

[MUZZ]

Anyone notice that Keepmefloating (DMBallday) reported a sale of $800...

http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/89816

yeah, because that seems reasonable that when they are selling in the 200-300 range one sells out of the blue for $800......come on. nice try :twak

[bluehorseshoe]

just got my "Vote" poster from barackobama.com...and folks, it doesnt look good.

First of all, it came in the widest tube I have ever seen, its got to be at least a 4.5 inch, possibly a 5 inch diameter. But then I open it, and the poster is wound up tighter than the WH poster come to us. There is very, very minor edge damage where it was rattling around in this huge tube, but everyone should be aware that just because you see this huge tube arrive, its not gravy. Good luck to everyone in getting this poster in decent shape.

[clwatt3]

Found this pretty interesting. This Obama guy must be popular.

Same here- I ordered a couple that came yesterday in a thick 5in tube but poorly packaged poorly inside (why do people find the need to tape the kraft paper to make the paper/posters smaller than the actual tube?!). Minor edge wear. They offered me a $10 refund for shipping only, or I could send them back for a full refund.

I ordered a couple more VOTE prints a few hours later when they were selling so fast (just to make sure I got them) and I paid the extra $50 for flat shipping- definitely worth it on this one- flat ones came today 100% mint

[DMB22JEEP]

who did you call for your refund? I got 1 with the same very minor edge ware out of an order of 3... Then I got 3 more in the mail today all mint. The paper fairey used is so fucking thin that if you breath on these the wrong way they dent.

(866) 501-4448 but they have never picked up- leave a message w/your name, order ID, and detailed description of the problem

I turned down their $10 refund because I considered it a slap in the face...and they called me at ass o'clock in the morning and I just wanted to go back to bed. Now I wish I'd taken the $10.

:thumbsup good call on the flat shippping, I wish I had considered that.

I would imagine this is going to end up getting framed and given to my sister for christmas. I dont see the point of sending it back; I guess I just assumed that someone would have a fucking clue as to how to send posters on their end, given this was from Fairey.

They did make them a little small, but my problem wasn't caused by that - it was due to bad rolling in the kraft paper... Mine were rolled diagonal and then the extra lengths were tucked inside the poster hole - making it a certainty that the (almost) bare poster edge hit against the end cap. On top of that, they used very light kraft paper, which certainly didn't help things.

If they had used full length (same length as tube) heavy kraft paper, these would of made the trip just fine.

[FonzFan]

i just got mine today and it showed up fine, they did tape the kraft paper though so it must have rolled around, i guess my postal carrier gave it some extra love or something. this probably wont be too good for those planning on ebaying them off if they got banged up in the mail

[gocav23]

There is also a smaller version of the Hansen Progress poster for $70 (less if you use the 25off code). They aren't selling as fast as the Vote though, of course, they are $50 more.

Hansen Progress 14" x 24" (http://store.barackobama.com/product_p/po29626.htm)

[jrh83]

I picked up two only $30 with the 25off

[jrh83]

I also got my big vote print and its amazing

[gocav23]

I picked up two only $30 with the 25off
I did the same, but had to pass on the Progress poster (Tropic Thunder comes out on Blu-Ray today, so I am getting that instead). :thumbsup

[gocav23]

The Progress price was lowered to $20....I think I'll get one now.

[toyota]

656........

408.....

The West Coast is just now waking up....lol (does anyone even use lol anymore?)

306......

196....

[toyota]

24.......

[jrh83]

sold out

[toyota]

And gone.........

[gocav23]

still 3700+ of the Hansen Progress

[Gary!]

I picked up a couple of the Hansen. I've always liked his stuff. With the 25% off, they're only $15. Can't really go wrong.

[DMBTattoo]

damn...those went pretty quick too actually

[bluehorseshoe]

can anyone get a count of how many of the Hanson prints are left? My computer is acting screwed up and not recalulating.

thanks

[gocav23]

3662....and at some point the price changed again to $45 :confused

Sweet got 3 shipped for 80 at the lower price!

[gocav23]

I can't believe the Hansen prints are moving as slowly as they are......still 3,600+ left. The price increase doesn't help, but considering how fast every other Obama print has been flying off the shelves, I figured this would go quickly as well. The 25off discount code still works (or at least it did this morning when I got my 2) for anyone that wants one.

[DMB22JEEP]

Sweet got 3 shipped for 80 at the lower price!


whoops - it was 4 posters for $80 shipped

[bluehorseshoe]

whoops - it was 4 posters for $80 shipped

:bitch :bitch :bitch

Its not you, its Obama I'm pissed at.

I feel like by paying I just contributed to the automaker bailout or something.

[liog22]

The smaller Vote print is up and available again at $45 - remember to use coupon "25OFF".

http://store.barackobama.com/product_p/po29835.htm

[DMBTattoo]

must be the canceled orders.

[DMBTattoo]

but over double the price??

[toyota]

must be the canceled orders.

not sure about that - they have 3,275 available. Yeah - it was said that the store screwed up pricing them at $20 and it was supposed to be $45 all along....

[jrh83]

well good hope my extras sell for atleast 15 so i can break even

[Jack]

really liked that Hansen. Can't decide if I like it for $45 shipped though...

[bluehorseshoe]

really liked that Hansen. Can't decide if I like it for $45 shipped though...

Exact same predicament here.

[ali815]

same here as well. especially because I've heard it's apparently dropped down to $20 dollars TWICE since it was released (according to people on EB). I could do it for that much. :)

[DMBTattoo]

not sure about that - they have 3,275 available. Yeah - it was said that the store screwed up pricing them at $20 and it was supposed to be $45 all along....

hmm...i wouldnt spend 45 on that guy, 20 yes.

[Jack]

hmm...i wouldnt spend 45 on that guy, 20 yes.

hopefully it drops again. I'd certainly pick it up for $20 and 25OFF!

[DMB22JEEP]

Got my YES WE DID poster - as hard as they tried to protect it - the end caps have ridges on the inside of the tube and it got a very slight dent in the roll... They used awful twist end caps... anyone else get it that way?

[clwatt3]

Mine showed up like that yesterday. Its not bad but...

I cant stand the twist caps.

[jkoch]

i can't even get this stupid fucking thing open.

[jkoch]

ok, got it open. those end caps suck. wow.

mine is in pretty nice condition, tiny bit of wear in places along one side where it must have been banging against the bubble wrap since the paper was cut to pretty much the exact same size as the poster itself and offered no protection.

[clwatt3]

i can't even get this stupid fucking thing open.

It took me the whole 1st period of the Pens game last night. :bang

Picture of edge wear coming...
