Buying something from some guy who's in a tight knit group who received a gift from the artist and then advertising the fact. Hmmm....what do you think will happen?
I used to be a collector...now I'm a hoarder.

I quietly bought a poster from a guy a while back who had somebody else PB for him to get it. The PB had some hassle to do it but when the guy got it, he just didn't like it. He was gracious to the PB and thanked him but didn't tell him he didn't like the poster. Instead, he sold it to me and I was quiet about it. There has been a good bit of time since this happened but nobody knows the who or what in this but me and the guy I bought it from. It wasn't a great situation for anybody involved but me since I got what I wanted.
I think the way we all handled it is the way this should have been handled.
People are calling the guy out who sold it and we don't know his/her situation. I'm in THC and have one of these myself and it's not going anywhere. That said, if I had job problems or just had bills stacked up with Christmas right around the corner and my kids didn't have anything for Christmas, I wouldn't hesitate letting go of some of my stuff for them. I wouldn't be happy to see it go but that's life. This print was a gift and several people went through a lot of effort to get these out to us and we're very appreciative. I'm hoping this is some guy who is using this to provide for his kids or keep the lights on and didn't just join THC in the hopes he'd get something to flip. If I had to sell mine, I'd sure as hell demand they stay quiet about it as part of the deal.
My $.02, which may be worth less in other places but it's still two pennies here!

One day it will be your turn to be popular, blue.

So, you grab the screen from Facebook PB&T (which is in fact a private group), post it here, and then give ME fudge? Dude, get it together. Your assholeness is at an extreme high. Take it easy, have a snack and move on with your day. I'm sorry you've been offended to the point of malice but I assure you, this was not done to ruffle your personal feathers. I'm a positive and contributing member of this forum. Take the negativity and bashing to someone that deserves it, please.
I have to run to a meeting so I can't respond in detail, but you have to be the biggest drymounting joke on this forum. How anyone has even a modicum of respect for an obnoxious clown that continually makes an ass out of himself is beyond me. I cringe every time you post.

I love the holidays because people are normally super nice but EB is shattering that illusion. Y'all are making me sad. So much anger and hate the past few daysalittle wrote:I have to run to a meeting so I can't respond in detail, but you have to be the biggest drymounting joke on this forum.

Anyone want to shoot me a pm and let me know why everyone apparently hates bmerel (excluding what has transpired in the past 2 days) ?

think you guys should start a new thread about the sale.
if i was in thc i wouldnt want this thread clogged up with this nonsense and all the members (like me) that flock towards the nonsense. let them have their nice thing. most deserve it.

Surely you must be joking. Look at his EB profile, which links directly to his website, http://www.brianmerel.com, or maybe you can look at http://www.merelgallery.com, a link spammed on the forum several times by the man himself, which features a picture of his face.
And whomever made the comment that this thread is not the place for these discussions is right. I'd be happy to move an further dialogue to PM.
