I did both. Had two going at the same time. Refreshed one, let the other ride and still no success on the Black. Scored Red easily.

Do you think Obeygiant.com is being affected by software that others may be using to buy prints the second they drop? I've heard of people using robo-software to buy up lots of concert tickets so that they can scalp them. Could that be slowing the site down and causing it to crash, etc?

Or am I thinking too big here?

Shut out. I don't know what I did differently. Must just be timing. Can't say I'm all that sad. I'd have been much sadder if I'd missed Occupy Protester.

I wonder how many orders are duplicates? With all the issues, I could see there being quite a few.

Scored red, went back in for black and it said I had ordered the maximum even though it wasn't the same colour. Grateful to have got one though.

Whew.....I thought I was one of the many that got dropped or kicked out, but it looks like on my paypal account one of the transaction attempts actually went through. Sweet! One Black and One Red en route.....

Call me crazy, but it is a bit fun to see this much interest in Fairey's prints lately. It is more fun when it is harder to score them I guess.

Red seemed easier in my opinion.
Since it came out first, they are so many reds on ebay now...

I was almost ready to give up.. thinking I should have ordered both prints in separate transactions. Of course it was my original "submit order" page was the one that finished the transaction for me. Thanks goodness I kept that page flowing.

Shoutout after hitting the order confirm page after Paypal. oh well...win some, lose some! I'm 0-5 for the last prints I've tried to bag. Hopefully #6 is the lucky one!

I've been consistently shut out the past 5 or so drops as well. Always make it to paypal, sometimes make it back to obey, never gets processed. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

I think the problem is more too many people clicking refresh 10 times a second or using things like check for change, etc that also spam the site with requests. Once it starts getting several hundred hits a second its going to start slowing down, depending of course on their provider, the hosting package they have, dedicated or shared hosting, etc.
