Faile ๐บ๐ธ New Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Coach on Nov 16, 2012 13:46:50 GMT 1, ...feel sorry for them? They just made $50,000 I'll not be happy if I'm refunded less than I paid either.. Whether down to exchange rates or whatever that's unacceptable Yeah, sorry for them. This isn't about the money. If it was they could have put out another edition 10 for $1,750 and made more than selling an edition of 100 for $150. They've tried to get more prints in the hands of people who maybe wouldn't/couldn't pay the current high prices on the usual studio releases. But as a result of poor IT, they've ended up with a big mess. It would be far easier for them to go down the Banksy route and sell small editions and originals to those on the secret handshake list. So in my view we should go easy on them, lest we drive them down that route. In any case, the Faile guys can be relied upon to put things right
I agree Desmond. They tried to release something that a lot more people could afford. And it's given them a proper headache. I reckon it would have sold out if it was twice or three times the price they charged. So I applaud their intentions.

This isn't the first time this has happened... that site has always been a disaster.

Not checked my cc statement but losing a fiver, albeit small really isn't on when it is in this case the vendor that is completely at fault. They're the ones that oversold and should have a think how they run their business. There have been so many releases that are chaotic and oversell but this one was a complete farce from one of the biggest on the scene.

Then they wouldn't have this mess. I do understand that they can't guess everyones transaction fees, but they should find a way to compensate everybody. And no, I don't know what they should do, I just feel cheated.

Try harder. The credit card company is supposed to refund the full amount because you never received your goods. I've had this done a few times. Tell them you are disputing the original charge since the merchant can't deliver. They must reverse the charges. No money actually left the banks to pay faile. It was all internal to the banks since it happened within a couple of days. This is pure profit for the bank. They didn't actually trade currencies because of these tiny deals. Don't let them get away with it.
