Did anyone cop? Was it even live? Went from “coming soon” to “sold out” to “page not found”. In mere seconds, I should add.
This was my experience.

Seems like it. Most of the ones on ebay seem like full time resellers. Some of them even got 3!

It's a nice print, but $500 seems like a lot for a Billy poster, no matter which one you'd prefer.

Now an art print of this...

well that's the thing, bots can quickly search the site and buy the print while us humans are sitting there refreshing the bad link none the wiser

Fake news. That’s the Sperry group in FB and that link was just to the collection page. That group doesn’t know the first thing about tech.

Also - should be noted that the guy who runs that store is in that group and changed the url BECAUSE the group asked him to, because they were afraid of bots knowing the url at the time of the drop.

And now they complain it changed in the last 5 minutes.

I took it as people were taking exception to the idea that they were given poster drop page, only to not be informed that the existing poster drop page was gonna go dead and they should've been keeping an eye on the collection page instead.

Yep. I’d pay a hundred to Chuck, but that’s about it.

Yeah I'm not sure how that justifies anything. It helps the people in the group, but not all the others who were going by the information in the initial drop post.

Not to mention tons of people don't have access to that group because mcflip banned them for one reason or another.

The link in that group was the exact same link from the store’s public drop post on FB yesterday morning. Nothing special. The product was never linked to directly.

It's getting real. They're going to get the FTC involved!
