Expresso Beans

I know this is the “Flea Market”, so I hope it’s ok to post this here, but as a lot of poster collectors here use expressobeans, I’m just wondering if the site is being weird for anyone else? A lot of the poster art just isn’t showing up, it sends me to a white screen to log in, and there’s what looks to be computer code appearing on the home page towards the lower left corner. Anyone else having this issue?

    That sucks. I was just getting used to it! It’s been fine for me except the last few weeks.

    I haven’t had an issue until about 2-3 weeks ago. But if this continues, it sounds like it might be time to open a Collectionzz account...

    I just used EB last week and it was fine. They're definitely having issues now though.

    That is almost next to impossible to actually track.

    With all the raffles and underground sales that go on tracking something will be tough.

    Then you'll have all the big time poster sites inflating prices so they can make profits because of a shill "recent sale".

    Bidding items on ebay is really what something is worth IMHO.

    Rant over.

     Even their ebay history is inaccurate though.  I basically use them as a poster inflation guide. “Hmm this sold for $400 last year and us fans are 20% more insane this year so..”

    Same problems with ebeans for a couple weeks now.  I really don't care about price history, I just want the images to appear.

    Not much of a Collectionzz fan, would rather use EB warts and all.  It was cool that they got their hands on the DTE Cells though.  I don't want to have to upload an image to track every poster and then they are also taking a cut for the sales, membership levels, commissioned prints etc.

    Exactly!  It's a great database for gig art.  I don't need to track my collection or see other peoples collections/zz.

    You do realize that Collectionzz is a business?  Just like PJ -- also making money off of membership levels, merch, etc.

    Fees are charged to help run the business, and I'm sure we're going to be seeing the money being put to work when the site is finished being built to full capacity.  Maybe if expressobeans charged membership fees instead of asking for donations (where did all the money go if the site hasn't worked well in months/years?) their site would be up and running.  Website design, support and maintenance doesn't come cheap.

    How would you propose to fund a website you can use for free without taking a fee somewhere?
