On the dot, the item appears. I order, fill out the info, and on final check, I realize that the order button is referencing the wrong item!! I quickly call Shagmart's number and I get a recording. I leave a message telling them about the problem and give them a number to call me back at. I keep checking the website if the item is still giving the same problem. And pow! Sold out. It was only on sale for 16 minutes. Great.... I REFUSE to buy it for $350 on eBay tomorrow. I guess mere mortals don't deserve to get Shag prints. Sorry, I just want to complain.

You'll get your chance sometime.... Anyways, my prediction is one day his stuff will be readily available for pennies on the dollar. At which time, you can snatch them up - trust me. If you are a true admirer and collector now, you'll still be an admirer and collector then. I'd say a large number of those buying the stuff now are reselling it for the $$$ or only like the stuff because it is the current "hot" item.

It was sold out everywhere before I could buy it, because all these eBay uber-capitalists had decided to buy a bunch of a $30 item and sell it for hundreds. Talk about the a-hole thing to do.

I thought I got a particular print but now looking at my confirmation from Shagmart am unsure of what I am actually getting. Maybe it will be something better. Staying positive

I was advised that the print will ship tomorrow. I cannot believe my luck on this finally some good kharma.

I'm not going to get into a circa 1983 Cabbage Patch Kids frenzy for a friggin' print! I've got enough stress in my life without worrying about how I'm going to score Shag's latest print!

Darn, that means I should have just ordered that T-shirt, that ended up in my shopping cart. Bummer.
