Just went back in stock just now. And again, I get the same payment screen error.  

You must have gotten closer than anybody else. I saw your post right away and by the second I checked “sold out” never stood a chance. 

It just went up ... again. 4 times I've been all the way to the Google Pay screen. Nothing ...

Just got this ..

I'm only seeing sold out. 

they are all gone now.... no need to refresh... I was going through the orders collecting emails and sending out emails  because I need to collect the remaining price from people who purchased at $100.... 

and in that process saw a few people who had multiple orders or had purchased one during the first sale.... would cancel those orders, then it would add a poster back into the inventory, only to be purchased by someone who already bought one... so I had to cancel THAT order... finally got it to where the cancellations all went to people who didn't have one yet... at least as far as I know, I'd wager there might be one or two people who got one at Color Haiku who maybe got one tonight. 

always beyond grateful when anyone shows any interest in any art I might make... and for the years of pearl jam fans supporting me and all the flowers and love.... but like y'all, the flipping aspect of this never isn't gross and frustrating and annoying and just adds more headache and frustration to this process.... so as irritated as you all are by it, trust me, I am in the same boat with you... and sadly we are in this boat for forever, in the 20 years I've been making PJ posters, this has been and always will be a part of this unfortunately. 

Thank you to all you fans of the band and of the poster art who just love the music and art, and aren't trying to just make a quick buck. 

Sorry to all of you out there who missed out on this print... I wish I had one for everyone who wanted one.

Thank you for the transparency. You go above and beyond with your communication to the fans.

had meant to adjust the price from $100 to $150……. was thinking so much bout just making sure everything was set up so it would go smooth…. forgot to adjust the price…………….stupid brad. 

You should cancel all orders and put them up again. I may get one the 3rd time 😂.

i think i will be sending out emails to everyone who purchased one and send an invoice… i can’t afford such a short sighted mistake on my part…. it’s feast or famine as a freelancer so every penny counts. 

You definitely should. Something similar to me happened with a Zoltron print once. He accidentally posted the price too low on his site, and then contacted me and asked if I'd pay the additional amount, and I did so without hesitation.
Even $150 is a very generous price for this print, given the demand.

i thought about raising it to $200 at Color Haiku but that just seems like a lot, but i knew given the demand they’d sell…. and i watch other artists sell for more…. and as i said freelance is feast or famine and every month i can pay to live as an artist is another month staying afloat and surviving…. but even after 20 years i never know what is not only a fair price to charge but also the best price to charge for me to get what a print is worth… cause not every print resonates with people… was talking to my peers at Color Haiku about this and we all seem to exist in a world where we never know how to find the Goldilocks price point for each print 

You deserve to not just survive but also thrive. Your art is your craft and you should charge what you want for it. 

oh to thrive! some years feel less like survival and maybe closer to thriving.... but it always feels like treading water year to year... but you just keep plugging along and making art... you never know what job is around the corner. 

charging what one wants for it, and what it will sell for is a difficult place to find.... you can charge what you want for it, but doesn't mean people will buy it at that price.... it's more, what will people pay for it then what I want to charge. 

I leave money on the table all the time... i see artists charge more, so I say "okay I will charge more too" then maybe those prints don't sell as well... and i leave money on the table that way....... so next time I think "i should charge less then last time, cause I priced them too high".. then they sell out in seconds and I could have charged more and left money on the table that way 

Like I was saying, it's a problem my fellow artists seem to also have... never knowing the exact goldilocks price point for each individual print 

Sometimes I can gauge if people will dig a print, and other times I think that, I am wrong and people aren't feeling a print I think is really strong. 

It's a crapshoot rapture every print 

Your art makes people happy.
