Only tried today to stay in practice, but never even saw the PayPal buttons, page errored out for a second and then they were gone.

Obviously only variants available today, so only bots probably scored, but normally is it better to wait for the PP buttons to appear or keep F5ing?

Been trying for a few years now... wish he would sell an open edition that only lasted for one minute... wonder how many he would sell
A timed edition or a lottery would be nice. Both of those options would help to deal with the PayPal bot problem.

He still prints these himself tho, right? Or at least in house. One timed edition and there wouldn't be any more output for the next year or two.

SCREW that.... not everyone scores. welcome to the hobby. nothing worse than a lottery or timed/open edition.

the people that had luck today were on their phones which didn't get 504'd. people on computers got 504'd because traffic overwhelmed the site.

let's also be honest here, most are in it for the flip on Chucks prints nowadays, esp the lady art prints. I would be if i remembered and if i could score one.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

Why would a computer 504 and not a phone?

Dunno but I've also seen more actual people share their score on this compared to Sappho. Mobile site may have fared better? Who knows.

When was this announced?

I'm guessing some didn't know about it, or maybe it's just me.

You guys don't get notices when Chuck makes a new blog post? What the hell have you been doing for the last ten years

He announced Sappho on IG and I assume the other socials. Musta thought putting Syrinx notice on his blog only would deter flippers. Either dat or old man brain had him forgetting. Luls.

P.S. Ya'll still running page checkers on his blog or what?
