Not sure how many, but the presale allocation sold out in probably <3 minutes. maybe a little longer for the largest edition, but the rest were gone in 2-3 minutes after it went up.

For the future - you can set up notifications on Instagram for specific users. Was very helpful in seeing Jim's post right away.

It was fast. I've never missed any sort of pre-sale I went for on Bottleneck's site that I knew about. I was on instagram and acted fast and missed the set, then line variant, then blues.

I'll try tomorrow but don't feel very hopeful since I'll be competing with more people plus a bunch of bots/flippers, which I know Joe has been doing an awesome job to combat.

When you buy stuff, you get "bottlebux", and sometimes they have very limited allocations the day before a sale to the general public and they email you.

It's not some secret thing. You just sign up for the mailing list, and buy cool art :)

This one wasnt handled that way. It was mentioned on Pollocks Instagram. If you follow him and Bottleneck on Instagram you would have found out about the pre-sale.

There was a pre-sale allocation for Jim's Instagram followers. He posted about it several days ago saying he would share the link at a random time today on his IG. Today he posted the pre-sale link on his IG bio when it went live w/ an announcement post.

There are also Bottlebux pre-sales sometimes where BNG will email you about the pre-sale details if you are a Bottlebux member.
