so $12.5k price tag for an HPM edition of 10 that is approximately 2.6' x 1.9' in size

no

image strength and size just don't merit the price tag. Not saying he won't collect and hasn't in the past, but this is not sticking the landing

Eh, prices of Shep’s fine art at primary have been creeping up and this is no exception. The AR/AK HPMs are like $14k primary now, and they’re also editions of 10 (albeit slightly larger). A smaller original for $10k or larger original for $20k seem like steals by comparison.

Sunsets is highly regarded as a classic Obey image, and I think this price is high but not outrageous for those who want it. It’s the new norm. That said, even though I’d like to have one, I’m not going for it.

If the size were larger and the image variation from the original greater, I'd be more agreeable about the market for it, and you're right, it's a classic image from him, it just doesn't seem to ring harder this time around

I want it (badly) but agree pricing is a little aggressive. Maybe my favorite shep design just can't justify that before the holidays.

'I cant wake up' alarm is the best and a must.

I was chatting with Obey and they told me paypal one touch is the fastest checkout.

I started with paypal but then switch to CC after several misses bc the processor seemed to move faster.

To the +juans, paypal or CC? I know some would rather not let their secrets out haha.

Asking because I gave up on paypal couple years ago. Is it time to go back?

Interdasting. I too gave up on pp quite a while back because it was too drymounting slow even with one touch, which never really seemed to work as it should for me.

I used cc for quite a while on all drops but do use Shop Pay pretty often these days because it seemed to be the fastest floor a while. It seems a little slower lately as more people use it i suppose but i still like it. May give 1 touch another shot

And plus Juan from yesterday. I didn't see much talk about it so i thought i may have been the only 1 around here to like it. I think the tears look better when gold is in the mix but i love the color choice on this one
