That makes it five now that have been on or are still on eBay, what I find really odd though is that although the first half of these prints were released when America was still asleep all of these are from the USA. Could there be some sort of sniping software being used that we are not aware of in the old world?

Apparently there is software that will do that very job, it refreshes the page automatically and add to cart, I think there was a lot of problem with some of the old Banksy releases from pow, where people were allegedly using sniping software.

Really? are we talking self made software or public software who everyone can use? The page refreshing software dont sound like threat, but if they can hit an add or purchase button automatically after its added, then its hard to compete against.
I like how Shepard Fairey or Obey does it. I'm sure others do that as well, but haven't read the policy other places then Obey.

It was only a passing thought and you are probably quite right, odd though that some of the eBay sellers seem to get lucky with the hard to get releases every time, thatprintguy for example seems to have an unusual good fortune or the quickest fingers in the world.

Have a search for bots. we have ticket master in the uk for buying tickets to gigs etc, people can buy software to get them through the buy pages quicker than humans, does all the stuff super fast
maybe bullshit as i am a bit old and havnt really a clue
i know people use webmon for page changes, then they add a macro or sommink
someone did tell me but i was a bit stoned

Full disclosure...Im from the US. Please don't hold it against me Ive been anticipating this print release since the drawing was finished. I neglected my sleep to F5 the shops page all night. It was a must have for my wall! Im grateful that I managed to snag one on the first drop and finally get some rest. It will be framed proper and on the wall as soon as possible! I do agree that some US buyers seem to only be in it for the quick/large profit to be had. This is unfortunate to the true fans but as long as there is a demand, there will be scumbags. Sorry to those that missed out, for whatever reason. Phlegm seems to be a genuine and humble fellow. I respect that he is more concerned with actually painting in his environment rather than be in it for the money.

So well done to all who grabbed one who intends to keep it, look forward to seeing a few in the latest art buy section

4/100 is a very small number to be insta-flipped.

Guessed it would be on sale between 6-8 am for all you UK fans! Being in Hawaii that made it early evening for me finally paid off being in Hawaii for a print release. Most of the random us releases happen early am Hawaii time when I am sleeping. So get ff and c4c.

Perhaps it was the 100 online and the odd 7 for the shop.

Had contacted them by email previously myself, to no avail.... but the logistics of traveling from Ireland were regrettably too much....
