just a thought?
Think of the fees eBay would generate off of that one. :shock:

I prefer prescription pain killers and alcohol, personally.

A good, clusterfucked Obey sale is a close second, though.

That could work, might help dealing with an Obey sale

I find solace in knowing that these shitty Obey sales are driving others to drug/alcohol abuse.

After an Obey sale a drink is in order out of frustration or celebration. Either way it's all good, there's always next week :wink:

Maybe that's Shep's plan? Bringing us together through alcoholism and drug addiction, which would make sense why he has a print for sale every week.

I think he still has original server from way back. The fact that they are hard to get creates more hype and more demand... even for a 750 run of offsets!!

The 15 year Fine Oak is a good substitute for the 18. Just as smooth, lighter bodied and about 2/3 the cost.

But, give me 40mg of oxycodone or a little hydromorphone and I can get by with the 12 year.

Yeah I was a little surprised the offsets went that fast and furious. What if OBEY auctioned off lottery tickets for say five bucks apiece on eBay. The lottery tickets would give the auction winner the opportunity to buy the newly released print from their site. this way their servers wouldn't get jammed and everyone would save thousands of hours tapping their refresh keys.

Of course the price of the print should drop a fiver also.

Just a thought.

Its a nice image though, cute girl. I can see why it'd go quicker in comparison to some other images, but JMO.
