Depends what you do for work and where it is.
Eg A gigolo who is in the middle of "work" might find it tricky to be successful in obtaining a print.

Martin Whatson โข Tiger Print, by NYart on Nov 24, 2017 3:03:56 GMT 1, I think the perceived bot problem is exaggerated. I looked into buying one once and from my limited knowledge of bots and programming in general, it seems most commercially available programs are designed for shoe websites. Could a savvy user tweak his for art websites? Probably but I imagine those are few are far between. Along with which it is entirely possible to check out in ~15-20 seconds with average internet (I regularly do so on my Verizon iPhone for Fairey releases). If you refresh five seconds late for an in demand print or PayPal is a little bogged down for you, that could easily make the difference.

Agree, Iโve gotten almost every drop I wanted and only lost out because a credit card declined the charge for fraud reasons. You just have to be quick on the computer use auto fills etc.... the bots need to fill in pages, click next etc and if there is any hiccup they lose out while a person can adjust more quickly. |

20 seconds? It was sold out in 3. you underestimate the use of bots or algorithms. Same thing happens for concert tickets. One area I will agree is PayPal. PayPal slowness or just overall silliness has cost me a number of drops.
Dont mind losing out to other fans but hate losing out to people who flip a minute later.

That all would have taken me 20+ seconds.
Agreed again on Paypal, it cost me on another drop recently.

PayPal slowness or just overall silliness has cost me a number of drops. Dont mind losing out to other fans but hate losing out to people who flip a minute later. There is no way I checked out in 3 seconds. I selected a different shipping address to my billing address (both already pre-loaded), then used Chrome auto-fill for my credit card while obviously still needing to enter my 3 digit security code. That all would have taken me 20+ seconds. Agreed again on Paypal, it cost me on another drop recently. |

Let alone load the main page and be able to cart it.. my thinking is obey has 1 million followers for 450 prints, whatson has 60k for ~half the prints. If bots were so widespread in the art game his would be harder than whatsons to get legitimately. More mainstream more broad audience, more people purely in it to profit. Sure whatson is flippable but heโs not on the radar of the regular guy looking to make a quick buck with his bot.

good on GP either way. most forum members give GP grief but they are always trying to help out fans/collectors.

BTW Iโm happy for all the fans that got one. Screw anyone who bought for profit.
