New Print: Hostile Takeover OFFICIAL ANTICIPATION THREAD

As for methods, I always load the page once and wait for it to either come up or time out. I get the prints I want about 50% of the time

I had like 4 different screens up and whichever one came up i used that for the next step. Have no idea how it happened but they were in my cart and ended up getting the Red

i usually have each step bookmarked in firefox, and keep 3 tabs constantly refreshing

and then what happened when you got Ze ZenCart? The reason I used to use the links was b/c of that. This week, no ZenCart, just eff you I give up messages that didn't blow out your address and prevent you from hitting refresh.

You know, i'm really for upping the price some. I know we've talk about this a bunch of times, but I really think $20 or $30 more isn't going to break the bank for true fans, but it *should* deter flippers as their margin gets thinner. I don't see the post purchase market prices getting higher if the primary market price goes up.

Just a thought though...

My order for both shows up with an order #
I just logged in and I see someone else name in there as well, but I also see my order....?

Anna Sossa anyone in here?
I think that happened last week to some people as well

thats freakin weird...so who did OG send the prints to?

does anyone think OG even pays attention to that login stuff anymore since it does not even require us to log in?

it really depends on what computer you are on and if someone was logged into that computer before they took off the login feature (so their name stays logged in)...unless someone knows how to log off.

At least the login mixup didn't happen to me this time.. 3 people's orders incorrectly were posted to my obey account -I got their order confirms, they got my info. I was only charged for my order. I only received my order in the end. No idea what how it happened but it didn't mess me up at all. Just minor annoyance.

No e-mail from Obey yet, but paypal confirmation sent, does this mean I'm good?

I'm guessing this message is the reason I didnt get an email from obey.....

Seriously! The shipping charges change for me every week and I only live like 20 miles away!

Yeah, last time it was $12.50 for two prints for me..

I know! Last week I tried to buy a print from OG and their crazy interweb sent me somebody else's tax return.

This is the first time I tried getting a print with the new system are there still refunds sometimes even if you get a confirmation?

Hmmm, I saw the flash nav working on the product page when I added them to my cart.

It was such a relief today to not have to deal with the Tuesday craziness. Like being on vacation.

It is....I break my week apart based on OG releases LOL! Mondays I look forward to Tuesday. After the Tuesday release its lunch then before I realizeit, its already Hump day. Thursday and Friday are spent awaiting the print. Gives me something else to pay attention to beside work, work, work all day.

this is my tactic too....got me both prints today, both "seals," both WBN, and Tools of The Trade

vorphilack · Post by **vorphilack** » Tue May 08, 2007 4:32 pm

as a bench mark I order a pack of stickers before the madness of the release to check the numbering system on the orders.

My order number was #2007 (for stickers before the release today)

It appears that order numbers are not re-used and only go upward in counting order. Maybe I will get my prints # even if my number is high @ #2331

You saying you really wanted this particular print that bad? or is it the thrill of the hunt?
