    had both in my cart but decided to only get the EVil one... figured it was money well spent.

    Don't worry if you did not score there are ALREADY three expressobeans members willing to trade or sell their EV posters! :roll:

    i consider this theft from the artist... hijacking on sales for profit... it is one thing to have a print that has appreciated in value... but this is disgusting, considering that there are many who would have truly loved to have these prints for the sake of having them, not for making a dime off of someone else's art.
  • I just got mine... keep refreshing and one's will pop up!

    QUESTION though

    If you got in for this sale, will this be an AP?

    Thanks and sorry for my lack of knowledge on this topic

    I was getting that message before other people started posting they had "just" gotten it, so I thought I was missing something. Thanks for being a smartass, though, really brought a lot to the table.

    It will be an A/P singned and numbered by Brad. That pretty much goes with any print you buy from an artist.

    well, it's definitely not theft from the artist. BK determines his own prices, and he sells his allotment at that price to whomever buys them, so he's not losing out...it's the same thing as scalping tickets...there are lots of problems with it, but stealing from the artists isn't one of them, because they were never going to see that money in the first place.

    but judging from this thread...it looks like everyone who wanted one was able to get it with minimal problems, which is awesome. And also means everyone who bought one to flip isn't going to make much, if any, money on these. The poster market is dead these days anyway...

    I did not mean to be a smart ass but, Brad's prints go really fast! There was a "buy" button to push when they were for sale. Im sorry you missed out but, Im sure he will have some for sale at a later time so don't quit trying. He always has extra for sale after he mails orders out.

    I think the blue one has a decent chance to be signed by Liam as well...although I wouldn't be at all surprised if it weren't...

  • a routine PJ poster seller on ebay already has 2 of each type up from Klausen today. Both say signed and #'d out of 182. is this correct, or how would he know already? He also doubled the price of each.

    it's also profiteering. i know it happens all the time, it just really disgusts me... if you wanna grab a poster because you can do a fair trade with it, awesome... but to list something for $150 that you just bought for $60 is super douchey. :x

    Picked up the Rocket Ev poster and the Big Business one.

    I guarantee if the BB poster was Pearl Jam, people would be going mental for it.
    Its a great print (the best that went onsale IMO). And only $25.

    Didn't pull the trigger on the blue EV.

    I've heard 100 and 182...not sure which is right. There seemed to be plenty of both, though...

    So True! I think the same could be said for the Mogwai print

    it's sick. but to them, it's their bread & butter. their day job is to flip posters, instead of flipping burgers at mc donalds. it's the same with scalpers. you don't have to be smart or educated to scalp tickets! you just do it. say, pearl jam is coming to town? hottest show to come to these parts? why not buy tickets, then sell it x2. A day's pay right there.

    Ya that didn't take long - 'check-out-my-rare-items' on ebay has 2 of each for sale, $150 and $130 BINs.

    I doubt it. Danny Clinch took the photo for the first blue EV poster and it wasn't signed by him.
    His name will be printed at the bottom but not signed.

    Agreed. It SUCKS, but these posters only cost $50 and $60 respectably, and if you missed out and someone else has one for sale, lucky you. Really, you arent paying $300 like some prints...you MAY be paying double, but who cares? I pay alot of $ for shit I want, and I am glad the stuff has value...which is determined by supply and demand. If these were not worth anything, would we all have paid $50 or 60 for them????

    I personally wish they wouldn't keep expanding the print runs...I also like to have these posters appreciate in value. Unfortunately, that rarely happens these days. Most of the 2008 PJ posters can be had for less than face value...even the value of the MSG has dropped significantly. I guess it's the bad economy combined w/ the sheer number they are printing.

    I expect these APs will settle in around the $75 mark, esp. the Rocket. But when you take into account the original cost ($68), then fees from both paypal and ebay, there is no money to be made. The plus side to the recent drop in value is that fewer people buy them to flip, and everyone who wants one can get one. I have no problem w/ that. I buy them primarily for sentiment, and only buy the ones for shows I've been to...
