Phlegm π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ Street Artist β’ Based in Sheffield, by Mattmoo08 on Feb 28, 2012 14:36:19 GMT 1, From his blog
The one thingΒ I'veΒ always wanted to stay clear from is hype.Β I released the print in twoΒ half'sΒ expecting them to trickle out all day. I thought splitting the run would just make it easier for people to casually buy it inΒ theirΒ own time zone and not miss it because of work or sleep. In the past people haven't really gone out ofΒ their way to buy my things so i expected no different.Β I'm sorry to all the people who set alarms in the dead of night or spent a lot of time on the computer yesterday. If it makes you feel betterΒ I'veΒ not had much sleepΒ either. In hindsight a lottery style release would have been better.Β
I'm going to just stick to painting walls for a while. I'm sorry if i become a bit hard to get hold of by email. I feel like aΒ rabbitΒ caughtΒ in headlights when i try and look at my inbox. Β
Thanks to everyone.
peace out.

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.

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.

Still had to hit add to cart. 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.

Don't know why but after a day of hitting F5 I feel anger towards this seller...
