I ran 3 and because of the way Mondo dropped this, the jaws prints were in the posters section and then 20 seconds later on the main page. Bots just scrape the main page and the print was sold by the time they dropped there. I'm having talks with a dev right now for a modified bot that will get around this. I know most people hate bots, but I'll take any edge I can get. I don't want to pay premium on the aftermarket if I can avoid it. This was simply a numbers game, 280 prints VS the world. Congrats to everyone that scored! I really wanted this to put next to my Struzan Thing.
lulz your dev sucks. I picked up an art print from the main page without a bot

Remember that time dude posted a YouTube video showing how to score Mondo drops and his work got called? Now we're at a point where people feel like they can post freely about using bots and defend it by saying they have to work.

hey guys....do you think that we can just automatically assume that a high demand print should've had a bigger edition size.

do we have to rehash this all the time?

amazing. Does anyone want to talk about their first butthurt mondo poster? Not where you cried to mondo, but the first mondo drop that made you a sad panda. And was it that point that you realized "there's always another drop" and began to accept the win some/lose some mentality?

Most would say "open" instead of bigger. But most are morons.

Also, how do you not have time to F5 but have time to write 150 words on why you use bots and still miss?
