they only have one thing like this band or this print, or this artist that means alot to them.
i get that excitement of grabbing a print you really really want.
but it really does take time and knowing what you want out of the hobby to not be upset if you don't score.
i kinda like having ISOs. fun little thing to track down. and if you wait long enough maybe you will get a really good deal.
Add to that the ever growing Welker Print community and people who couldn't care less about any of this stuff but realize this thus knew these were gonna flip and you get what u saw today. Welker could have added 500 more to the overall edition size and this was still gonna sellout in minutes

That's a good point, I guess it's an aggregate number for all sales.soupysound wrote:**please keep sharing the welker group melts ... pure gold!
as for order numbers... welker had that foo fighters drop on the site so doubt maze started at 1,000. maybe 1,000 + whatever that foo fighters drop was? just a guess.

That's actually pretty funny if true. Must have been a pretty liberal judge to excuse them to go to the bathroom during selection.bsharp wrote:Not super negative, but:
"Juror #8 (selection process, not actual trial or anything) had to make an “emergency trip” to the bathroom at 11:58am.
WiFi sucked so I missed, but I came back flushed and shaking so at least the rest of the courtroom thinks I had diarrhea."

Reminds me of the time I wore my 'Pro Guns, Pro God, Pro Life' t shirt to jury duty and still got selected for a trial.MooseThompson wrote:That's actually pretty funny if true.

Yes, the internet.
