Well if they are sending the exact same number out then my mistake. That was the point me of bringing that up. Since in that respect I do agree - destroy it and let the number game go on. Ta duh! And second.. Damn right you should express your opinion.

[Deadboy619]

And I see no difference I some one wants to trade money for an item when the person with the item is looking for something that said trader doesn't have and could use this money to buy the item they do want. Since many upon many people don't have the exact item another person may want - but said item is online to buy. And if someone where to buy an item then trade for another item they wanted - whats the difference if someone trades their money for an item so that a person may buy the item they do want.

And I'm only bringing this up since people seem to be bitching about this situation in the first place. I you don't like people selling their own property then that great. You don't have to agree with it but don't bitxh at them for doing so - unless you seriously believe it's getting in the way of your own freedom.

Ita hard to express this without making others believe I don't think they have the right to be opinionated - this isnt what I mean to do.

Shit. Has much as I'm bitching. I guess I'm saying just let people barter the way they want to barter and both sides o this should just shut up...including me. since we seem to be just going nowhere with it, and it's not literally hurting anyone when either way.


Now I so agree with that you shouldn't just sign people up to get another swag item and people should only sign up because thu are down with the FLARG!

In the end - all of us on this thread want the same thing .... Tonk ow what happened to Flynn (since apparently we don't know . Wink wink) and to get the same sweet swag on the way.

Long live args and no disrespect to anyone.

42e are sending out replacement posters?? I'd be happy with any at all, I finished it within a few hours of going live and yet no poster

Thought it could be because I'm in London, but there's a guy on here from the uk who got his last week *plays world's smallest violin*

Busy person in retail that I am, I'm a bit late on some response.

I never suggested 'one per household', just wondered if 42E checks for obvious 'harvesters'. My point is that I don't like a greedy fan that screws others out of their fair opportunity, nor the disinterested 'dog in the manger' type that just gets the free stuff they could care less about so they can sell it. As for a fan that sells or trades their own poster earned fair and square, although I find it unlikely a really devoted fan would give up such a thing, I suppose there's nothing wrong with them doing so.

As for the question of destroying the posters, I think that is the choice of the person who got a replacement. They should not be chastised for it. I do think if the damaged original is going to be retained or preserved, its number ought to be defaced so it not be confused with the 'real' numbered item. If you are going to trade it, I think that should be especially true. Remember that if you trade away a doubled number poster, you are ruining the personal pride of exclusivity of quantity for everyone, as well as the exclusivity of your own number for yourself. I don't think you'd find a limited edition art print being redone to replace a damaged one, and if it was you can bet the artist would demand the damaged item be returned for destruction.

Lastly, in these debates stick to debating the topic, not berating the poster. Remember the rule: Play Nice.

Just got poster #932 today. I believe I finished sometime in the AM of 10/24. Definitely did not complete it before 10/24. Good condition. I'm stoked!

[eolith]

huh, I wonder if it depends on how you reacted to your poster. Mine was creased as well, and nothing. Maybe I should ask?

As for the old, creased posters, it wouldn't take much to draw a silver-marker line through the number, or write "replacement" or something on it, then trade it away. That way people can still have something they love without it being considered one of the 999.

That said, the people that own them have every right to do what they want with them.

The numbered thing is interesting subject... I'm torn; though I do agree that owners have the right to do whatever they want with what they own.
But at the same time, in this case, being a numbered limited series, it's not just an item independently owned by the individual. The identifier ties the entire series together, indirectly including the other owners' items.

In a sense, if one person sells or trades the duplicate, then how, ultimately, does anyone (apart from the owners themselves) know that the item number they're looking at is in fact legitimate and one of a kind? If now a friend sees my #3, how do they know it's the legitimate #3 if they know duplicates have been traded or sold? It's now my (or any owners') word that has to speak for itself, rather than the actual number written in the corner. The value in a limited run collectible number is knowing that it is unique and legitimate and one of a kind.

I dunno. Unless something is added to the traded/sold duplicate (like a written 'duplicate' label on the back or something) to indicate that it's not the #XXX/999, I just might have to side with those who value the collectible nature of limited, numbered items.

Now, if one has a poster without a number, then by all means, sell/trade/whatever to your heart's desire =)

just my 2credits... move along now =P
