Lack of Poster Demand?

Is anybody surprised by how long it is taking for these posters to sell out? Do these poster sales normally last this long? Is it because the economy is down? I am kinda puzzled by this.

    Been a couple of the less coveted posters for sale in the last 2 weeks...will be interesting to see how quick something like Virginia Beach stays up - I bet even that one takes a few mins to sell out...harsh reality is that people are spending more carefully (as well they should). Canadians are also getting hammered with a dollar thats in a freefall, so everything we buy is now costing us 25% more then a few weeks ago.

    i bet if it was a poster that a lot of people liked it would be gone in a jiff!!

    i mean look how long the MSG posters were up...about 5 seconds,and Nijmegen was up for weeks.

    It's a perfect storm of a poor economy, the 10C RAISING the price of posters, and some laughable artwork.

    The two that are still available are 2 of the worst of this tour. I also think that because of the bitching in the past, more were made available thru 10C this time. Just a hunch.

    Same with us Aussies. The $ has dropped nearly 40 cents in the matter of a few months :(

    Sellers have the right to put the price they think is fair (for them), but i've seen a lot of sellers getting angry because buyers don't want to pay their prices at the moment, in this new economic situation is going to be tough to sell anything, except the rare ones, and even those need to go to down in price.

    If sellers want to put money in their pockets they need to wait for a better time.
