The Korova Milk Bar 13 Englert

[alittle]

Just buy one off ebay. It's not like there is going to be any real secondary market for these.

I didn't know Santa died in 2000! Good on him. That's a solid run.

I bought this print, happily! Super excited to add to my collection, should have been my first englert! My favorite one! A couple of hours after I got my conformation I recieced a retraction! They oversold the print and somehow I am the odd man out! I can buy it on eBay for 200 dollars but not recieve my order! Garbage. I will never buy from 1988 ever again! I'm sure you guys have all gone through this, as I am still farely new to posters, I have not. I literally want to cry! This is how true collectors get treated while flippers grab prints! They were still for sale a solid half hour after I bought this print! Yet I am the odd man out?!? Absolute garbage! I'm boycotting englert and 1988 from now on! Not that they care, with all the flippers willing to buy and sell.......I'm out! My money and I will find another artist/ shop that actually cares about their customers. Nice print though, congrats to whoever got mine! Cheers

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately the longer you stick around purchasing prints, the more oversell refunds you're bound to get. It sucks, but it happens to everyone from time to time. Hopefully the secondary market yields your print for you at or very near cost in the future!

Stop sounding like such a whiny little bitch. These things are going to be flooding ebay and the sales thread here soon enough; just wait for all the married guys and others to realise that this is not the kind of thing their significant others want them to have and you'll probably be able to get one for around cost or less.

For 1, I am a whiney little b. that's how I do. And I do hope that I can snap one up eventually, at or near cost. I am sorry to complain to everyone. I am used to not getting stuff on drops, I just really thought I had this one. I really was stoked to hang it. Whatever, I guess. They did just lose a potential customer, but obviously they don't care. So neither should I. Cheers

Nothing wrong with being cheesed. I think you'll have no problem picking this one up later at cost though.

Hats of to you for being able to mock yourself.
But you're not alone; read the other threads and you'll see that others were refunded as well. So G1988 didn't single you out, their system just messed up and oversold a bunch of these. Don't forget that there are 200 of these so all you have to do is wait a few weeks, and there will probably be a glut of them on the market.

Oversell issues aren't strictly related to them. Plenty of other websites need to issue refunds as well.

It happens...

Here's how this game is probably gonna work.

People buy up prints really fast due to the belief that this may flip. A bunch throw them up on eBay and nobody buys them. A bunch get A.D.D. and lose interest in the flavor of last week, the following week. A bunch realize they have wives and gfs that wont allow them to hang pictures with statues and coffee tables of naked women.

Considering many other Englert Kubricks are /100 and getting sold at cost, leads me to believe that this one /200, will follow the same route.

go peep the oversell melt down on Banksy board for the Whatson print

Happens ALL the time so I am used to it....what I DO NOT understand is why these sites do not simply get better cart eCommerce systems? They are NOT expensive and very drymounting easy to implement.

Also a small note to G88. Can I have access to your site backend to make a 2.3 second change that does not set shipping to local pickup as default? Thanks

Congrats to those that scored, fantastic print!

Almost got me as well. Had to backup from the paypal website because i caught it just as I hit the button to advance to paypal.

When faced with a situation like that, just check out anyways. You can always pay the difference later.

Their store is 10X better now than it was a couple of years ago. At one time during popular drops, you'd cart a print and it would take...like...15mins or longer for your order to get processed. I remember we totally crashed the servers during a Crazy 4 Cult drop...total burn due to (rumor) 100K + people hitting the site. They had to postpone the drop for the next day or something...can't remember, exactly. It was not long after that that they upgraded to the current store.

I'm sure others will remember the good 'ole days at G88's site.

Who are all these wives and girlfriends who don't enjoy a movie about the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven?

all butt hurt about missing the drop today or how this poster will be in the HUT goes here... http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopic.php?t=121339

I like this one but seems like David O'Daniel already made the perfect poster for this movie.
