How do flippers already have it listed on ebay?
only 1000 of them were signed

$500 x 1000 = $500,000
Oh I know, but is Shep's signature really worth $420? Come on now, that is crazy. Maybe if it was Obama's signature.

No. Only credit card with US address. Us Internationals are stuck unless we've got friends in the US willing to order for us.

Not to hate on you guys overseas but the people who actually supported/voted Obama should indeed be given first opportunity. It just sucks for the US citizens who are currently out of the States, but I suppose most of them would have a friend/family member willing and able to score them one.

And it goes both ways, theres several times I've missed out on something because of living in the US.

why do overseas people who are not ameican want these? It's not like we want posters of there presidents.

This reminds me..i was in europe last summer at a bar in switzerland. These drunk guys from London were there. One guy kept talking fudge about americans for like an hour. I mentioned to him i was American. He said to me..sorry but i'm sure you guys talk fudge about us. i said " not really" He asked why.
I said "because we don't care "

He then looked sad.

These boozing bachelors of Britain are notorious throughout Europe. :)

Flipping purposes set aside, I think many want to get there hands on this print just because it's a Fairey.

so wheres all the money going? the campaign is over.

it's a bit like when tony blair first got elected over here in 97. we all thought it was a new dawn for our country. in england we just dont care about our MP's anymore. they drymount anyone and everyone over. and dodge every question. the guy in charge now didnt even get elected. he's there cause tony packed it in. bottom line. they are all cvnts. i just cant see banksy doing a positive gordon brown print anytime soon.

The money doesn't go to the campaign. Moveon.org is a Political Action Committee.
