I think 10C selling the BK posters before Brad's site goes live is actually a good idea. Think about it. It's economics. If 10C site can handle the traffic better, the same people going for say DC or the Gorge will try to buy it from 10C or BK, whichever is sooner. If 10C sells them first, it may reduce the traffic to BK's site, which may help it from crashing, and, it's not like BK's posters aren't going to sell on his site either. This would simply get some of these posters into the hands of the masses and reduce the traffic to BK's site.

This is good thinking, but I do not believe it. Brad has the S/N editions I think. Those are a little more expensive, but also more desirable. And on a side note, the flippers don't care where they get them from. More desirable, more flippable.....

Everybody had a one line.....

We'll be seeing him in no time.... Oh Yeah.....

Personally, if 10C sold the DC before Brad I would happily purchase the not s/n poster and be satisfied.... for a while. But as soon as Brad's site went live I would definitely be trying for that s/n edition as well, and if I was lucky enough to get it then I'd probably trade the 10c one for something else to whatever poor soul was shut out of both.
I think if 10c sold DC and BK's Gorge, it would only divert the traffic on Brad's site. The people who got those and were satisfied with the non s/n (which would be a very small number anyway) would just attempt to buy other posters on Brad's site at the launch, they'd still be on the site so unfortunately I don't think it would alleviate the traffic one iota.

Good morning, please put the site up tomorrow for poster sales, Thanks.
i second this, i'm over the weekend sales. i came into the office last weekend to use the T1 connection, and when i left apparently i didn't set the alarm so there was a big hoopla monday morning and everyone in the company had to get new codes.
i'd just assume to not have to go through that again
It would be an ultra-poster week if we get the Gorge, another Santos poster sale, and the Klausen launch all in the same week....that would be truly lucky Number 7.

Did you fess up to not setting the code or slink away like Bill Murray after blowing up the golf course?
Hey everyone, so it's obviously taken a lot longer to get my site issues figured out...the web hoster I was using is proving to be problematic, as many of you are aware, and their cutstomer service is pretty bad, so we are looking for other options that will work better.
To give you an idea of traffic and server needs...the most recent poster sales here, hundreds of posters sold out within matters of seconds. It's quite unbelievable how quickly they go...they aren't even up for a minute, or half a minute for that matter.
With that in mind, and due to the poor repsonse from the company i had been dealing with, a new plan must be forged.
As always i will let you all know when it's back on...as i have said before, i want to get this moving and underway more then anyone...i apologize for the drawn out delays and failed sales, but we're getting it all fixed as quickly as possible.

Dawg email request is the way to go good luck and keep us posted on the posters.
IMO I think the matting is too big. Otherwise its really cool.
Each to their own I guess.
Liked the frame job you did on the Toronto Klausen.
Have you done any Hampton Melbournes yet (cut edition)??
Would love to see.
The frame is 4" wide... rule of thumb - matting should always be larger than the frame. Matting is not too big. If anyone saw it in person they would not say the matting is too big, if they did they would not know what they were talking about...

No I have not done a Melbourne yet. Size is slightly problematic for shipping. If I were to frame one I would just put a thick black frame on it, glass and spacers. To mat them would take over size matting and the colors are limited in that size. But that would be for the cut versions... full version I think white would be your only option.

Still wouldn't help traffic on BK's site though.
10c # = 70xxx
Anything to get this store opened up at this point.

My guess and hope is that he's looking into a proper hosting account for the site... need to balance the load. *pause
If he is switching hosting companies moving the site takes some time.
