Shepard Fairey + The Most Fan Friendly Artist?, by pezlow on Feb 28, 2007 13:31:06 GMT 1, In fairness I don't think they were expressing surprise but more frustration. I think the rationale behind allowing people to buy two prints was that shep was thinking that many of his collectors could use one of the prints for swaps. It got to the stage, however, where too many of the "second" prints were ending up on the bay. Having said that it hasn't stopped someone already listing a peace goddess on ebay.com.

Shepard Fairey + The Most Fan Friendly Artist?, by absyrd on Mar 1, 2007 10:49:12 GMT 1, I have a decent-sized Obey collection.
Recently, I haven't been able to get a new print with times even better than 12:04.
You won't be told you are oversold if you didn't get one. You'll just get a credit back to your paypal 4-7 days later.
It is frustrating so I've basically given up.

Shepard Fairey + The Most Fan Friendly Artist?, by absyrd on Mar 1, 2007 11:08:44 GMT 1, Yeah. I debated on whether or not to tell you my recent experiences. I guess it will be that much better if it turns out that you did get one now, though.
G'luck. ;D

No glad to hear it. I think there was some Obey at SG though the one's there didnt float my boat. I quite liked Peace Goddess and didnt have a chance at Arrows. If next week's print is good, maybe I will have to stay at school and try and use their internet connection. Perhaps that would provide better results  . I guess with a 12:06 I can cross my fingers but not hold my breath.

Shepard Fairey + The Most Fan Friendly Artist?, by brut on Mar 1, 2007 15:27:47 GMT 1, Like everyone else on this thread i have found buying any work from shep over the last 4 - 6 months very frustrating.
I have managed to place orders for proud parents,peace godess & cream war for sale but the rejection email is always there waiting for me in a day or two.
The only spot of luck i did have was when i ordered the red war for sale.When i put the print in the paypal basket it did not register so i did the same process & managed to bag one.
I got a email a few hours later saying that i had ordered 2 prints.
I ignored it knowing i would get a email a day later stating all prints had sold out as per usual.
The email never came & i got a usps tracking number yesterday so happy days are here.
The only thing is i don't need 2 red war for sale prints & i don't want to use ebay.
If anyone has a obey print for a straight swap then please let me know.

Shepard Fairey + The Most Fan Friendly Artist?, by pezlow on Mar 1, 2007 16:05:37 GMT 1, hey brut - I am trying to get a red war for sale. At the moment I am trying to swap with someone from the ebay group but he is being very slow about responding. But if that doesn't happen I can swap your red war for sale for a cream one?

The one thing i have not been able to work out about the double transaction through paypal via obey was who sanctioned it as it was not me? Not that i am complaining.

Shepard Fairey + The Most Fan Friendly Artist?, by slowmo on Mar 6, 2007 11:46:35 GMT 1, They would make a nice tryptych (not sure that is spelt correctly) with last weeks in the middle of the two. Haven't got the room for that though so will pass on getting either of these.

I will try for one. Prefer the red but depends what comes up. Still waiting on my refund. Paypal is holding it and I lost $3 in currency conversion which means I spent $3 just to gamble. Not much cash but still, at ยฃ1.50, that's a pint!

Although in fact it tends to be a couple of minutes past eight when you will first get to see them as the site tends to crash at aroud 7.58. A good tip is to use Mozilla Firefox as your browser as this seems to work better than Internet explorer.
