    Ladies & Bros of BG, need your help with online sale tomorrow (Not a charity thread!)

    Good day ladies and bros of BG. I am in need of your assistance with an online matter.

    Before anyone asks, no I am not asking for your money or anything of the sort. All I need is people with 2 minutes of time, & a Paypal account tomorrow 12/14/12 at 12:00 PM EST, (5:00 PM GMT) with an online sale.

    I have the money to immediately reimburse anyone via Paypal, I just need assistance in getting the item I'm after as it's available in pretty low quantities (very low) and the demand will be very high. So all I'm asking for is you to buy the item, and once confirmed, provide me with the confirmation e-mail, I will send you the money, and once you receive the poster (it's an art print I'm after) send it to me.

    If you are interested in helping me out, please PM me. It will honestly only take a max of a few minutes, and max $125. Like I said, I can and will give you the money back immediately. Well once I get home from work anyway. BG is blocked there. I have access to the sale myself, but am not confident I will be able to get one on my own. I WILL purchase any excess as well, so don't think you'd get stuck with it please. I can trade the others for other art I am after. Also does not matter if you're in the US or the UK. You will be fully reimbursed + shipping.

    If there's anyone that can help, I will greatly appreciate it.

    PM me for details.

    Thank you all!

    This is about the Olly Moss Super Mario prints isn't it...

    Don't think you're going to sucker people into getting you multiple stock so you can make profit on eBay.

    Fuck, I want them myself anyways, and I'm sure plenty of others here do too.




    pretty shady, bro

    Honestly if I ended up with extra I would either trade for other pieces on an art forum or sell them at (or near) cost to people on said forum. I like to see other people end up with them that are fans of the art. I've never flipped a piece unless I was in dire straights (which was once)

    Think what you want. I'm not looking to profit. The art community much like this community looks out for each other where they can.

    This most likely is going to backfire on you, and cause the 8/10 people who like what he posted to now bid against you.

    Olly will be announcing the link (and price) on his twitter sometime tomorrow. If you don't want one and want to help him get prints, go ahead, but how vague he was about it makes this thread look sketchy, considering most everyone here likes video games and especially since Olly Moss prints go for retarded prices on eBay.

    https://twitter.com/#!/ollymoss

    I failed at getting the Star Wars poster trio last time. His shit is in massively high demand. I just don't have the energy to mash F5 on his page all day and then wrestle with server congestion on the checkout page... or else I maaaaybe would go for one of these. Expect it to sell out within 5 minutes.

    Explain something to me. I've seen this guys work. I've liked it. If a lower quality one was put in front of me for say, 10$, I would drop 10$ without thinking. If a higher quality print was availalble, I might consider it too.

    So why the fuck are the print runs limited?

    Edit: I know the star wars ones where 50$ a pop. That's 50$ i'd spend, those things where fucking amazing.

    Supply and demand, my friend.

    Also, these are all screenprinted (probably on French Paper)... which is top notch when it comes to tactile beauty. A lot of people in the design/illustatrion field that do prints like these wouldn't NEVER let their work repreduced on shitty semigloss poster paper or anything similar. High quality or not at all. It sounds kinda' pompous/artsy/bullshit, but low-quality unlimited runs dilute the artist/work, so to speak. Not to mention the guy makes a living doing prints/posters/covers/editorial/etc.

    You know, I never saw the actual dimensions of this piece, but they look like a slightly smaller "bill" style poster and it's only a two-color print (I think the Star Wars posters were bigger and 3 color... I think). I was going to assume like $40 non-signed. He'll probably sell a final batch of like 25 signed a few weeks from now for like triple/quadruple price.

    I'm pretty sure he could have made a lot more money increasing the supply of those star wars posters. Even at a better quality, the Empire poster was simply amazing.

    I've seen tacky reproductions of them too. All that publicity + limiting the supply run accomplished was making original priced at ridiculous amounts on ebay, where the artist gets no money and to create a black market full of tacky knock offs.

    Looking at his website, I've gotta say this Mario poster is probably his least impressive work.

    Agreed. Some of his movie posters are so amazing. I would instantly buy lots of prints from him if they were available.
