    ahh, i was missing the r... i was just looking for sammytamar

    The very last one is the one that cracks me up the most lol... I don't know why eBay continues to let him sell.  I didn't leave negative feedback because part of my agreement with him regarding the extra prints I got from him as replacements for damaged prints, was that I would keep the prints and not leave a neg feedback.  I wonder how many others he may have made the same agreement with and how bad his feedback would be if I and anyone else who made the agreement, actually left neg feedback...

    These are just in the last 12 months...

    Here are some of our back and forth messages regarding my transactions on eBay and outside of eBay (I should have known better than to deal with him outside eBay). I also experienced the same things others reported - shipping label created notifications but the tracking info never worked, damaged prints, etc.

    Sam, i paid you a lot of money for these prints - Over $1200 and so far the only print I've gotten is the DC print - and even that one isn't in perfect condition. I need to know today, exactly what you're going to do to remedy these issues. What is the plan other than "talk to your staff tomorrow"?

    sammyrtamar:
    I am going to get you what you paid for I am going to replace the Nashville and whichever else you need like I told you I have a connection with one of the stage crew for the tour so if I need a replacement print i can make it happen I just want to get in my store find out why this mixup happened in the first place see what I have in stock and see what I need to make a call for

    Ok I hope that the Foxboro and Houston prints is still in your store - they are kind of rare to get nowadays - I'm afraid that if the staff messed up all these prints going to me, then my prints may have gone to your other customers and who knows what happens to them at that point. 
    I'm more interested in getting the prints than getting my money back. I know PayPal will refund me the money, but I'm more interested in getting perfect prints.

    I was unable to make it to my store today, but i spoke to my guy and he does have copies of the prints you said you did not recieve so if I do not have them on hand he will drop them off tomorrow, to make things easier then going back and forth on ebay messages, call my store 845-675-7050 anytime between 10-7 (eastern) and we can better coordinate you sending back the wrong prints as well as you getting the ones you purchased.

    So the guys at Bandtshirts really helped me out.

     

    My original order was really hamfisted by a mouthbreather and a lot of the lithos had telltale lateral creases indicating not much care was taken rolling them up. I complained to Bandtshirts about it because although some of them aren't exactly noticeable from the front (the crease is really only noticeable on the white back) and are essentially not an issue once flat (and especially once framed), it was still disappointing. Anyway, I got a reply from a guy named Dean and he promised to send me new ones and that he would personally roll and pack them himself! They arrived yesterday and they all turned up absolutely perfect. So I'm very happy.

     

    Also, because I'm in Japan, he said I could keep the first bunch of lithos instead of having to send them back. So I have lots of spares lol, that are albeit not in perfect shape. Definitely no problem in any practical sense (and I say this as a person who is seriously anal about the condition of anything I collect) but still kinda a hard sell in litho discussions.

     

     

    Lucky you! That sammy dude I bought from, who damaged almost every print, told me to keep them too, but I never got replacements :(

    that's why i have those extras in the trade section...

    Whatever dude. Like I know anything about a Ferrari or a Porsche. I thought you were just someone who appreciated the designs of this tour, but I guess you're another shyster, so fuck you.

    If I see anyone buying more than 2 lithos at a summer US show, I'm gonna spill beer on them if I possibly can. Small gesture, but I'll do what I can.

     

    LOL!

    Watch out, the name calling has begun!

    I think the Enzo had a resell clause and was only offered via an invitation-only process. You had to have owned an F40 or F50 or otherwise had been a prominent customer to have been offered the opportunity to own one. The FXX was one of those "use it but don't really own it" models - which I think is craaaaazy but Ferrari guys are a bit whacko!

    that sounds right... Ferraris are way outta my league (since as someone mentioned, i don't have a "real" job lol).

    I'm more of a Nissan GTR guy  (irony - The Godzilla car) lol

  5. 1 minute ago, amaninjapan said:

     

    I hate to tell you this, but that is patently untrue. Ferraris are possibly the most resold exotic cars on the planet. You know what that the traditional Ferrari red with tan leather is called in the Ferrari community? "Resale Red on Tan" - simply because it's the combination of colors that holds its resale value the most and the combination that resells the quickest. I'm a Porsche guy but have dealt with the Ferrari resale community a lot.

    But yes, I agree with you on the lithos. If a litho is going to sell for $500 then I would rather that $500 goes to the artist or the performer. That's life though.

    exactly - and, iirc, this is why the people who were able to "buy" one of the Enzo F40's when they were first released had to sign a contract that prohibited them from reselling the car, if i remember the story correctly... which kind of doesn't make sense cuz now that i think about it, i thought I read that you didn't actually "own" the F40 - Ferrari still owned it and gave you the right to say you were the owner...lol or maybe I'm mixing up models and stories...

    Who is the ebay seller? What else does he have? Can you give me a link? I'm still chasing some earlier lithos.

    he only had the 1 print to sell in the past and it didn't sell at $500 which is why i messaged him - i checked his past sales to see if he had ithers but he didnt.

    The robert guy in venice cali seems to be able to get/or has a wide variety of prints. the 2 local guys i bought from only had prints from cali. That sammytamar or whatever his s/n is on ebay, has a wide variety also, but almosy all the prints i got from him were damaged and he didn't want to take care of it so i eneded up keeping everything he sent me - which is why i have those extra prints i listed as damaged. i would avoid him like the plague.

    i figured out how to find other prints because i was messaging back and forth with a seller about how he got some of the rare.ones he had in his personal collection and he told me his "secret":

    he basically did an ebay search for what he was looking for and changed the filters to show sold & completed items. he would then message every seller who had one of the prints he wanted and asked them 1 or 2 questions - if the print sold, he'd ask if they had any others they'd be willing to sell or know of where to get one and/or if it didn't sell, he'd ask if they still had it and if so, were they still willing to sell it (which is what i did).

    these are the things inwpuld recommend for you to try...

    I agree that it's a dirtbag thing to do. I'm just saying that there's little we can do about it and I'm not entirely sure I would want to restrict one's freedom to do so even if I could.

     

    Plus we're all guilty of it to a certain extent. Unless we're all trading one-for-one lithos all the time then we're all making a bit of a profit/gaining an advantage when we trade. For example, if I had a Tokyo Godzilla litho you wanted and you had a Cincinnati litho that I wanted, morality and ethics would dictate that a direct trade would be the most fair solution. But I'm pretty sure all of us would agree that the Cincinnati is far more 'valuable' and that it would be a significantly unfair trade. That's just how it is.

    what's funny is that i have that extra Nashville print, that has the little bit of damage, which I'm willing to trade to someone 1:1 for one of their prints from their country... maybe i should ask for a 2:1 trade.....

    lol... just kidding, like i said, I'm not trying to take advantage of anyone...

    I've been saying for a while 1 per customer on the lithos. Maybe 2 for trading. Fuck all you mother fuckers that are making a profit off it. 

    I don't like what you have to say or the game you're playing. 

    Unfortunately, facts and truths don't have to be liked, by you or anyone else, to still be facts and truths...

    As I said, I'm not saying that i like the fact that the prints are so expensive on ebay, but i understand why they are and accept it for what it is - supply & demand.  

    Same way I understand why ferraris are so expensive - limit supply, high manufacturing costs and high demand.

    Whining about how ferrari is ripping people off because they are priced way outside of my reach, is just stupid.

    Also, I got my Bangkok litho.

     

    I should say it's loosely defined as a litho. The paper quality is pretty average and the size is tiny. The US lithos have this luxurious thick paper that is hard to roll, artsy paper that feels expensive. Same with most of the Japan lithos. But the Bangkok litho (and although I haven't received it yet, I assume the same will be said for the Singapore litho) uses a paper with a very plastic feel to it. Just feels really cheap in comparison to all the other lithos. And I haven't confirmed it but I'm pretty sure it's smaller than the Tokyo Dragon lithos. Will check later once it has flattened out.

    The glow in the dark new orleans print feels like what you describe - not quite paper but not quite plastic - cheap feeling indeed. it also wrinkles very easily...

    Its not just about selling something to someone else. Its the ridiculous price, that makes those sellers scum. 500$ for a fucking litho? Come one. And dont get started with the fucking free market again. He could very well sell them for, lets say, 100$. But he chooses not to, cause he is a greedy fuck without morals

    If the print sells for $500 though, is it still too high of a price? or is it only too high of a price because you're not willing to pay it?

    I actually just messaged someone on ebay who had a print listed at $500ish, and which didn't sell, to see if he would be willing to sell at a more reasonable cost. However, if i really really really want the print and he says $500 firm, then i have to decide if I want the print bad enough to pay that.

    So again, it does boil down to supply and demand and no matter if you want to hear it or not, that's the bottom line - no ifs and or buts.

    Edit - and sure, like you said, someone could sell something for $100 (which is still a 100% markup) but why should he if someone is willing to pay $500? So using your argument, should a Ferrari be sold for the same price as a Honda, even if the cost to manufacture the cars are the same?

    Guys, guys.

    There's a million different problems with the current merch setup and they all have different effects on the availability and price of limited edition items like lithos.

    A guy can pay people to stand in line for him, a guy can have a friend at the factory etc. But honestly, the single biggest problem for me is people buying big amounts in one hit. If they simply enforced a 2-per-person limit, that would make things a lot LOT more difficult. Sure, someone could go line up again but that's a lot more time and effort but if he would've bought 10 lithos normally, then it easily takes five times more effort to get the same volume of lithos. It wouldn't get rid of all the problems but I think it would make a big difference.

    I have no problem with people making a living reselling merchandise. But in some mysterious perfect world, I would rather buy direct from the artist or GnR or whatever. We don't live in a perfect world so we have to live with resellers. The resellers are just making the most of a flawed system; I think fixing the problem (the selling procedure) instead of addressing the symptom (people making money from reselling) would be the better reaction.

     

    Also, fruits is a legitimate word. In casual conversation and most situations we use 'fruit' to refer to a group of fruit. But we can use 'fruits' to refer to multiple, individual pieces of fruit or multiple specific groups of fruit. It used to be based on whether it was a countable noun or non-countable noun but that's no longer the case. But for example, "I eat a lot of fruit" is fine and so is "This drink is a delicious blend of various fruits" - This is a quirk of English that can be occur with many plurals - there are situations where we can use moneys/monies instead of money, persons instead of person etc.

    Exactly - the only "fix" is enforcing a limit per person or per ticket. Not an easy thing to do unfortunately, and not likely to happen due to the low number complaints - mostly from thisforum lol.

    and you are correct about fruits - i had to look it up to verify what you said, but you are right - i stand corrected. 

    The word Fruit is a noun. The word is an exception where the noun is both countable and uncountable. So the plural of Fruit can be either Fruit OR Fruits.

    Well aren't you a fuckin giant of fuckin capitalism. I'm sorry- but I gotta say- fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

    Those things are for fans to buy. Not for fuck sticks like you & your friends to make a profit on. I understand supply and demand, but again, fuck you & your friends for ripping off fans. 

    LOLOLOL...

    I don't sell them for a profit and I've probably spent thousands buying all the US  prints for my own collection.

    The extra ones i have for trade are ones that i wasn't happy with because of minor defects and i ended up buying another mint copy to keep.

    The ones I posted about today, i posted because i have someone looking to trade prints from his country for some that i knew i could get from a local and i figured I'd give others the same opportunity to trade prints, if interested.

    How would someone like me collect all these prints for my own collection, if they weren't listed on ebay? do you think every GnR fan is on this forum or even knows about it? Or are you suggesting that "real" GnR fans should travel to all of the different countries and cities to buy their prints in person? 

    So is it ok that some forum members buy more than 1 print and trade the extra one(s) to other forum members? Isn't that depriving another "real" GnR fan the opportunity to obtain a print?

    Get real - you can't have it both ways and then get pissed off because someone wants more money than you're willing to spend.

    And you telling me to fuck off because you don't like what i have to say or don't like the fact i destoyed your arguments (with facts) just goes to prove how.much  of a child you are...

    We wouldnt have these problems if those people would have had a proper education and with that, got a real job where they earned money. That way, they didnt have to make a living by ripping other people off.

    You must be pretty young - mid 20's? because your logic and debate points are pretty ignorant/childish. 

    The proper education? the proper education would be for the warehouse/printers to make sure their employees aren't taking advantage of the fact that they have access to these prints before anyone else and are withholding them from distribution.  Also, some artists and printers may be given a certain number of prints as partial payment, to do wjth as they like. so who knows if the prints j can get from my local guy weren't actually given to them for them to do wjat they want with?

    These are called Printer's Proofs and Artist's Proofs.. read up on expressobeans.com about different types of prints. For example, Sara Ray was allowed to make all of her different Artist's Prints to sell.

    And a "real job"? So working in a warehouse or print shop isn't a "real job"? if no one had these "real" jobs, then who would make and ship prints? Again, the issue is that these prints aren't tracked and accounted for at the delivery endpoint or along the way - no one is sitting there at the merch booth saying "these are from a limited run of 250 and there are only 240 being delivered, so where are the other 10?"

    ripping people off - tough one. they aren't ripping off any 1 person because if there are only 240 prints at the merch booth, then there are only 240 to sell. the missing 10 weren't promised to anyone and then withdrawn,  which is what ripping someoneoff would truly be. 

    After all, even if all 250 prints made it to the merch booth, do you actually believe all 250 of those prints get sold to fans?  if you do, you're in for a shock. Have you ever seen anyone here with print #1 of a certain design? shit, ever see anyone with #10?

    Unlikely that you have, unless that person has a connection which I believe the one person on here who has a # below 11, has.  

    The very lowest numbers will probably get distributed to the band, their friends, their family, their management,  the concert venue management, the printers and the artists. 

    Do you really think that all 250 are meant to be sold to the public?

    Its not a business. Its something fans do/want as a hobby.

    imagine i am standing at a market and buying all the fruits there are, and there arent any fruits left for the people standing behind me in line. Then i sell those fruits on the other side of the street for 300% of the original price. That would be a shitty and Unmoral move

    fruit is singular and plural, so no need to say "fruits" and you're wrong - some of these sellers are doing it as a job, as i mentioned above. Robert in Venice California sells many different band prints, iirc, and so do the local guys i mentioned.

    Going back to your FRUIT example, it's not illegal to buy all the fruit and reselling it. Yes it's probably a dick move and/or IMMORAL, but it's still not illegal.

    The grocery store would need to impose a purchase limit, which they don't, to combat this.

    So really, isn't it the grocery store or GnR management that is at fault for not imposing and enforcing a purchase limit?

    It's bullshit that a motherfucker stands in a merch line with the singular goal of buying up all the lithos, while real fans are trying to hang out, talk to some other fans, listen to some GnR cranked on a car speaker, and drink some beers in the parking lot. 

    Fuck the eBayers. We need a 2 per customer limit.

    fyi - i am not saying i like the fact that the prints are priced so sky high (certain ones), but i am saying that this is what an open market is - demand drives supply and prices. thinking anything other than this is ignorant. 

    the fact is, that the sellers who do this as a business have the exact same chances as any GnR fan has, to buy prints. The fact that they can buy multiples, which deprives other GnR fans from buying them, is the same problem that you may have experienced buying a ticket to the show. 

    tickets are snapped up by secondary ticket sellers and are resold at very inflated prices.  something ticketmaster is aware of but can't seem to combat successfully.  The difference is that some of these secondary ticket resellers use multiple off-shore resources to defeat the captchas and bombard the ticket system with tons of seemingly legit ticket purchasers, who then buy up as much as they can which then deprives the rest of us from our chance to get tickets. 

    I purchased prints from another local guy who's 2nd job is selling concert stuff on ebay and the steps he has to go through to get multiple prints for resale are pretty crazy.

    for example, he works with a 2nd person (his brother) to get the prints. they purchase multiple tickets - the cheapest ones they can (so they're not really depriving many real GnR fans and since they're only buying 4 or 6 tix, they aren't depriving tons of people).

    they get there super early to get in towards the front of the entrance line and when they get in, they go directly to the merch tables and buy as many as they're allowed. they then take the prints back to their car and use another ticket for entrance.  then they go to another merch table and repeat the process.

    they also drive to other cities to do the same steps

    so this guy drove from LA to San Diego for prints. Drove from LA to San Francisco,  etc...

    He told me that he will also offer people at the merch tables a "bounty" to get more prints for them, if they're sold out. Either from other stations or from the "back room" etc.

    So none of what he does is a secret, since he told it all to me, and everyone has the opportunities to do what they do. 

    The real problem is the fact that prints aren't limited to 1 per person and even if they are supposedto be, how many merch tables actually impose that rule? Also, if you go to a different merch table, how will they know you've already got your 1 for the day? 

    The other problem is the fact that some of the people at the merch booths will take the bounty and hold out prints to sell only to the buyer.

    once these problems are addressesd, then we all will have a fair chance to get a print at the $50 price.

    Until they are though, don't blame the ebay sellers for taking advantage of a broken system - which you all have the opportunity to take advantage of also.

    Also, like i mentioned way back in the thread, that sammy guy ebay seller told me he has a connection at the warehouse where they distribute prints, and probably other merch from, to each of the shows. The fact that the warehouse person is holding on to prints for him, instead of sending them all out to the different shows, is another issue that needs to be fixed.

    The guy i mentioned that can get me the Las Vegas and Troubador prints also has a friend that works at one of the printers or at the print distribution places, i can't remember which, but he only has access to a limited number of designs. This person, that works wherever, is still an issue that needs to be addressed.

    I actually pay for the prints that I'm offering to trade on this forum, but not at an exorbitant price, but still higher than what they cost at the shows, however I'm not trying to take advantage by selling at inflated prices or trade values...

    I never said he is targeting anyone. But of course only fellow fans will buy these. And i think its bullshit to rip people off within a community which you are part of yourself.

    and the car example is totally misleading since its a totally different matter.  

    It's not ripping anyone off though - it's called business. Who said he or any other seller on ebay is part of the GnR family? Most of the sellers do it as a business, so of course, part of a successful business is making a profit.

    Car example is the PERFECT example - it demonstrates how silly anyone who uses the same argument, really is.

    I'm looking for the first Las Vegas lithograph 4/8/16 with double skulls. Does anyone have this one that they would be willing to part with? Trade or Sell. I will be attending the St.Louis and Minneapolis shows this summer and would pick up an extra one for trade.

     

    I can get this one for you. what are you looking to trade/pay?

    He is making money off other peoples work and selling stuff for a shitload more of their value. Plus he is taking a fuckload of money off gnr fans. Thats immoral and lack of character.

    lol so the car you probably drive - made by other people and priced at current demand prices - it was immoral for the dealership to make a profit off of the car because you were a fan of it and that's why you bought it?

    c'mon people - if the prints didn't sell to GnR fans for the prices they sell at, the lack of demand would drive the prices down like they have for other less popular GnR prints...and after all, who besides a GnR fan would be paying these prices for some of the rarer prints?

    it's called supply and demand. the foundation of every open market. don't like the prices? don't buy. if enough people do this, the demand goes down and that drives the prices down. 

    sitting there and getting butt hurt because someone who has a business of selling lithographs is asking as much as they think they can get for a print, is ignorant and childish. 

    just because you can't afford the asking price, or don't want to pay it, doesn't make the seller immoral.

    suggesting that the seller is sitting there thinking to himself, "I wonder how much i can rip off GnR fans for" is idiotic - the sellers don't care who buys the prints, they only care that they sell them. so you thinking that the sellers are "targeting" GnR fans is ignorant.

  20. fyi - i have a local guy who sells on ebay, that can get the 2 las vegas prints (2 of each day) and 2 sets of the 3 Hollywood Troubador prints (the 3 different colored square prints)..

    I'm interested in trading for other countries' prints if anyone is interested. I already have some japan prints, so the ones from Japan I'd be interested in are the Kobe and Osaka prints (obviously lol)

    That robert guy from ebay is selling those san diego lithos, that the designer sold a while ago, for 500$ a piece. I know that ripoff is reading this forum. Its a shame some people dont have an ounce of dignity left in their shallow souls.

    I can vouch for robert, if he's the seller in California - I've purchased 2 or 3 prints from him and they were perfect. 

    as for ripping people off - it's all a matter of supply and demand. he's (and others) in the business of selling prints and if the demand is there, people will pay what they can. i certainly overpaid for many prints that i would have gotten for much less had i waited until now when the demand for them had died down...
