obey obama prices?, by Michael Jacob on Feb 11, 2008 21:52:05 GMT 1, I know there were some earlier threads, but I wanted to start a new one. I just searched on ebay and the prices are far worse than a week ago. the folded prints are selling for $600-$1000. The signed Progress ones are hitting $3000. Is this for real or do you think someone is trying to buy them to sabotage sellers.
I just wish Obey would print more (different version) and sell them. It would not only quickly deflate ebay prices, it would allow more money for them to contribute to the campaign.

The folded ones are the pasters that were sent out and not to be confused with the screenprint. Anyone had shipping confirmation for the screenprint yet?

There are some people on Expressobeans and thegiant.org who are stating that they have had shipping notices for the screenprint, and that the tracking numbers pan out (they indicate that the posters are in transit). It appears that these shipping notices are for the first drop of prints - the ones that went on sale early morning US time.

You could buy the 'paster' version 5 for $15. Considering that they are going for a minimum of $200 each on ebay, that's a considerable hike up.
Also, the Obama momentum just continues to grow. He's neck and neck now with Hillary Clinton, and he's getting campaign contributions at a far greater rate than she is. Her campaign is in a little trouble now IMO.

I've not received an email.
Does anyone know how you can log onto your Obey Giant account to check? Am I missing something obvious?

Glad to see you brits still have your sarcastic sense of 'humour' 
I scored one of these Obama prints, although I still haven't gotten confirmation for shipping.  Don't know what's going on but I had no idea it would be like this when I scored it. Hard to say how prices are going to go once all 350 prints are shipped and the next wave of ebay auctions hit but if people are paying $1000 for a cheap unsigned paster... ;D
But there are some seriously wound up people for Obama and he could make some major history. But if he doesn't get elected these prints will wilt. But if he is these prints will be legendary.
Oh and uh, if anyone is willing to pay 10k for mine drop me a PM. This will make up for the bath I have to take on my Mic print.

The blurb accompanying the new Hope print says "We are still actively checking EBAY for auctions and taking aggressive action against those that continue to take advantage." Good for them!
Since a couple of Progress have been sold by UK based Ebay accounts, we may be among the last to be sent them as they try to find out these people are.

Only redeeming quality is that it's red white and blue. Obey really needs to attempt take art to the next level. Because this is wack.
Heard they're releasing another series 3 Obama print called "Who Gives a S**t".

Complete nonsense of course. The web site has been pretty much dead since midnight Pacific time.
Unless you've tried to flip your print and been caught, you should be sent it by Obey this week.
