I can't see any scenario in which a cart-reservation system wouldn't benefit flippers, sorry
that wasn't what I said, it would benefit them to a degree but you would not see an increase in flipping because of it, have you seen the sales history on this set in less then 24 hours?
They got it figured out anyway, so a cart-reservation system would benefit the collector more than the flipper, they are doing just fine now....
Sorry, just don't agree (with the underlined point). Instead of flippers having to "hire" other people to go through the process, they can just do it alone, click 10 checkout boxes themselves and take their time - where before they were VERY lucky to get 3-5 sets because they had 3-7 people helping them.
Spread out the process over a few steps, first to PAY get their prints. Makes sense to me, and I've missed out on plenty of drops.
The only people that seem to not like it are users that don't understand the cart system (mainly on FB and twitter - just because you cart it doesn't mean its yours) and the people whose pages "glitch" for lack of a better word (which is understandable, but with a cart system, instead of their page crashing on the payment screen it would just crash way before that).
Again, I only see 1 "benefit" to a cart reservation system - an easier way to cart multiple orders and go through them leisurely (and this is a benefit only for flippers).
There isn't less stress - instead of being stressed at the end of the process it will just be stressful at the start when you're trying to cart it (you shouldn't be stressed anyway, its just paper). Stress will also increase because AFTER the drop, people will be dropping items from their cart and users will be F5ing even more hoping to catch a dropped order.
It isn't any more fair - again, its just moving the process up and if anything makes it less fair for those who are actually totally prepared and have practiced the process before.
I've still yet to hear a good argument for a cart system that lists solid, concrete benefits besides an illusion of peace of mind.
Sorry for being long-winded, trying to work off that mental fuzz of beer.
) to start with. Although I got a True Grit reg through second chance on P&T.
Think it was about 2 minutes after the tweet went up. I didn't see the variant set till I went over to OMG Posters & read the comments minutes later where somebody posted a link to the Variant Set directly. I tried & seen that 'add to cart' icon for a while but the next screen said it was all sold out. Later refreshing the store page the Variant Set icon went up. Betcha all that scored a complete variant set saw that link first over @ OMG Posters.
