Its always that last 20-30 posters left that take up 3 rounds.

Not sure if you're in the FB group but if you got an email from David's account, we think the word Dicks triggered a delay to a batch of mostly gmail emails. So obviously that got sent after the lottery closed.

like to see an entry fee ..... $1 goes to charity to enter lottos

also believe it would help with validation
WaterWheel or Divided Sky would be fitting.
not sure why it's not happening really - days of pretending random draw are fair are long gone- print predators get around that every day its not random when deck.is stacked , total joke ...... time to at least raise money for charities

bottle will sees a 10% drop in entries - maybe more and not because Phish phans don't have a buck for charity :lol:

because it opens us against chargebacks (not tangible = automatic loss) and even angrier ppl because they spent money.

And for a bot to spend $1 is really nothing. It's like whats happening with Twitter and blue checks.

at least X amount would be donated (the core of my idea) but to put the business in the middle of the muddle would be whacked - get it. click a "hold harmless agreement" :lol:

it would also dissuade people from asking grandma to enter, office full of workers ...... etc - " but you need to pay a buck " LOLOL

if it helped quwual multi-entry- some would gladly accept donation driven, so won't-.oh well so what is best- make a big fat donation!

be well - I just know my luck using bare bones clicks, Zero tricks vs a lottery are significantly different so in the end, got to question whose getting what and why

I mean I think I do a pretty good job at picking. If you goto twitter at least, you see some winners. You see a winner above. You see winners on FB.

It took me almost 3 1/2 hours to get through this yesterday. I go through all orders to make sure ppl dont enter multiple times. I knock out all the suspicious domains.

The end result is not 1 right now is on Ebay instead of a drop where bots would pick it up and just throw them up instantly. Thats almost 250 prints. I can probably count on my hand the amount of times over the last couple of years, I had to cancel an Ebay auction prior to shipping APs via lotto.

And to go back to what you said above, there is absolutely no complete fair way to sell a small allotment of prints like this to ppl. The fairest way was going to the show and waiting for hours and even then people complain that someone cheated that system.

Those TNMT posters are dope!
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

Lottery is the fairest way to go. If that small run was put on sale, would have sold out before most of us had a chance to check out. BNG doing most things right and we are lucky to have em :clap:

Jut curious, on the beetlejuice prints what the difference between the 3d lenticular plex and the 4mm thick acrylic panel if they both have the flip effect?

Maybe the acrylic doesnt have the flip effect and just mislabeled?
