That way the true collectors will end up with some of the prints...It might be a little biased on my end, but hey, I just want to keep collecting Jeremy's work...
So, basically, only the people who own Geddes prints should be allowed to purchase Geddes prints?
812 posts and I believe this is the first time I've ever felt the need to use the eye roll.
I probably didn't phrase it quite right, but if a
percentage of the run goes out in this way it will help ensure that collectors get the prints they are after. Obviously first time buyers should also be given a chance with a certain percentage of the run allocated to them...
There are always pros and cons to any system. Personally I loath lotteries and have been pretty successful with Jeremy's drops so I wouldn't mind if the system stayed as it is. Just throwing ideas around about how we can combat the "flipper problem". I think a list of known flippers could help, but it is near on impossible to keep them all out.
As for smooth drops, I will agree with the above comment about Faile's recent drop, I think that worked pretty well. It helps to alleviate some of the connection speed problems as only one click that has to be handled, avoids the carting problem, and gives people time to complete their purchase in a leisurely fashion once the invoices goes out.
