no thats not my auction and i know putting these links is frowned upon, but just read his bullshit story.

he says it was a gift that he hasn't received yet. i'm going to e-mail brad about this see if he can take it down

Haha! I already e-mailed Brad about 13 hours ago about this exact auction

What a friggen prick!! :mad: (not Brad....the person selling the poster)

yeah he e-mailed me back saying he is working on it.

serioiusly brad is so cool. he himself responds to e-mails and guides us through the intense hours when his posters go up for sale. i've gained a lot of respect for him in the last week

Absolutely....and that was why I contacted him....knowing he would want to know AND do something about it It's great that Brad is doing what he can to stop these arseholes......as if the poor guy isn't busy enough already.

that is too funny - i wonder how many of those emails BK had to read - must be getting just as pissed from reading through peoples complaints. There is plenty of stuff i couldnt buy from 10c like the towel, benaroya vinyl, laptop bag, a bunch of posters (mostly the harder to find expensive ones) - and though i get mad i didnt get a certain item, its not the end of the world, and if its something you want that bad, then it just may be worth paying the cray fleabay inflation - or maybe not - that is your decision to make as a consumer.

and not to teach anyone how to be a rat, but I'm sure BK will feel a bit relieved if his inbox isnt flooded with " this @*%&#?!! has your Kenyon Hall poster up for sale and i'm mad because i didnt get one, so go and rectify the situation, since it's your fault you created this poster in the first place"
TO rat out a listing to ebay police, just scroll down to the bottom of the auction ad and click "REPORT THIS ITEM"

I believe Brad imposed a restriction on resale.

oh right, is that a recent thing then? cause i have bought posters by klausen off ebay before. anyway, i take it i shouldnt bid then?

This was the first I noticed it, but these are part of BK's terms and conditions "Applicable Law; Resale or Export
You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the various states and of the United States . YOU AGREE AND REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE BUYING FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE ONLY, AND NOT FOR RESALE OR EXPORT."

venmos

so does that apply to posters bought off 10c as well? cause there must be some of those coming onto ebay soon

Has been a 10c policy for a long time (see Santos' announcement: http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=285664) - typically, it is easy for a seller to claim they acquired the print at a show - Kenyon in a little unique in that there were only 200 people there. Makes it a little easier to spot people violating the policy.

...ha..nice auction...I love the bullshit stories

if anyone wants to buy or trade posters they should really check out Expresso Beans..the folks there are straight up. I have purchased both from Ebay and Expresso beans and have to say EB is better because you don't have to pay shitty Ebay fees...peace

Get off your high fecken horse :rolleyes:
I may be wrong....but I was under the impression that Brad was keen to get onto these people, who are blatantly going against his policy. I didn't "REPORT THIS ITEM" because I e-mailed him not long after the poster was listed, in the hope that Brad could cancel his order, if it hasn't already been sent.
I wasn't complaining to Brad....I THOUGHT I was helping him out by making him aware of this particular listing........which might as well have said "I know when this poster was purchased I agreed not to re-sell it, but fuck that! fuck the artist! I got it to make me some money off the ones that missed out on it etc etc"

I'm also aware that the only way I'm going to own this great poster is by probably getting one from eBay and hopefully will be lucky enough to eventually get one that is within my budget.

A couple of Brads posts regarding this matter:

Yes it does....it was clearly written under each poster on the site

Its better if you are the person SELLING the poster. Buyers don't pay fee's other than the price of the auction. As a buyer, the prices aren't really any better on EB from what I've seen...BUT I guess the advantage of EB is the probability of getting a good seller vs a scam artist is very high.

I just went to have a look at how this auction was going and it's been removed?? I wonder if Brad got onto it or it's another reason??

poto101

nice work brad!

i am a target

i think it mostly has to do with selling it before he actually has it. that makes it obvious you bought it just to sell it. the smart thing to do would be to hold onto it for a few then sell it. because once you get it in your hands there isn't really a way to tell who the person is anymore once they try to sell it.

i imagine the unfortunate thing will be the dramatic increase in prices for APs from klausen. i remember at bumbershoot last year brad was selling the DC poster for $350 and i heard him explain to someone that he was selling it for that much because of people trying to resell it.
