Hope Emek works out who it is and cancels thier order. 

Why though? Trust me, I hate this practice too - the stones on this guy - but this is the free market at work. If someone is willing to pay that outlandish price, then the only one who should feel duped is EMEK. Yeah it sucks and it's appalling for the majority of us who don't have that kind of money to throw around, but maybe this seller has good intentions. They probably don't, but maybe they're buying a house, paying for bills, or whatever. Either way, it's really beside the point.

If this person had somehow got five of these, then I'd feel differently, but there was a one per person limit. I assume they only got one, and they're free to do with it as they please, no matter how much it offends my sensibilities. Would it be any better if they waited a few weeks/months/years before asking outlandish money for it? When that happens, people seem to be more "ok" with it.

To me, this is very different from the people who buy 10 of something at a show, shutting out the people behind them in line. There should be limits set and enforced at the merch tents. If a flipper gets in line, waits all day, buys their two poster limit, then wants to try to turn a profit on them, then I'm ok with that, even if I don't love the idea of it. it's their prerogative. But if they are able to get their hands on 10 or 20 or even 5, that's overboard in my opinion.

BTW, I'm not trying to pick on you. Your post just triggered some interesting thoughts for me, that's all.

Agree with all of the above,  Except Emek is an artist who wants people who love his work to own it.  Someone flipping a limited edition before it's even shipped,  deserves to lose their order in favour of someone who might appreciate it more..IMHO

Or At least have some patience or be a bit more subtle

Just wondering, when the mystery boxes/tubes went out 2 years ago, and people were posting what they got and saying available for sale (in that post), are they considered flippers since they really were only buying the boxes in hopes of one of the grails?

Anybody receive their Paul Jackson Amsterdam #1 Signed & Numbered AP yet, or even received a shipping tracking number yet? Nothing here on either front,  I am looking forward to adding this once to the portfolio.

I was refreshing too quickly and got banned a couple times, had to go on VPN and switch locations when I was blocked.

This happened to me too.

Me too.  Didn't even know this was a possibility.  :-(

Changing gears a bit but has anyone heard news on the Slater drop?  That is still my favorite this far. 

If he does it like he usually does. He'll drop them on a random date and time, unless he gives out a little clue. Then post of FB, Twitter, IG, etc. that they just dropped. By the time he gets done posting the drop is live, they'll be gone. Wish you the best of luck on the Slater drop.
