I wish to thank all of those who gave me guidance (on a different thread) yesterday after I failed in my quest for the Japan WBG. That was the sort of help it's nice to see on this site. My sincere thanks!!

I've been admiring Jones' work for some time. It's nice now that I shall be able to see his work in person, thanks to your helpfulness!

Damn that was fast! Due to shoddy inventory control, orders are not final until you recieve an email from me. I sincerely apologize if I have taken more orders than I can fill.

you are very necessary rob jones, very necessary.

has anyone ordered rob jones stuff thats NOT white stripes / raconteurs stuff in the past year? I am under the impression that he's not really selling anything anymore... unless its like this with the release of a set/posters.

Also with EMEK, does he take orders on some older posters that still have "buy now" buttons? Is that how people are getting 'new' handbills (that i haven't seen before)? I'm just curious.

Sent my payment one minute nine seconds past the hour. How late was I? Went away for a bit, refreshed and it was up.

Paypal says my time sent was:
08:01:41 PST

Good luck everyone who tried, I hope we don't get refunded!

yes. If you buy his older prints he generally gets them out pretty quick. If he took individual orders on the white stripes or raconteurs prints, they would never get shipped because he couldn't handle all the requests, and continue to focus on his design work.

I was on the ball and my Paypal receipt was marked 11:00:57 AM EST so you should be good... That being said I haven't received the confirmation e-mail so who knows!

for those that missed it.....Rob's best work (in my opinion which doesn't mean shjt) is the packaging for the Lomography cameras. Every box, every insert & every instruction booklet and graphics. some amazing shjt if you can afford to get your hand on it.

Hmm...At first I thought the "oversold" comment here was a joke, but now I see it's not, having checked back at Mr Jones' site. I guess there's a part of me that feels good that someone else (Rob Jones) can make computer mistakes, but, on the other hand.....now I sit in limbo

There's no computer mistakes. All he does it put a link up and orders flood into Paypal. Then when there's too many he scrambles back to the site to take the link down. Pretty high tech huh?
