Justin isn’t “mouthing off” only when someone says fuck you to him, does he even get snarky. But the amount of crap he took yesterday over the trilogy set is silly and stupid. Can things run better, sure, but don’t assume Mondo isnt interested in making things that way just because you get shut out.

A quick look back will reveal that i’ve been VERY vocal about loving the fact that these items are as limited as they are. I’ve bought several of Mondo’s previous releases, know how it works, and haven’t had any real complaints.

I have absolutely NO problem missing out due to small runs.

That said, during purchases of Trick R’ Treat, and now the trilogy set, I’ve missed out because the site glitched out and refused to load. If the folks at Mondo are going to promote themselves as heavily as they have been, without looking into whether their site can handle the load that promotion generates, that’s just a truly poor business practice.

It seems Mondo doesn’t really give a shit about folks like me, because they sell out every time regardless. If they want to run things that way, fine. I was just pointing out that a business either grows, or it dies, and if they continue to run theirs the way they have been, someone who can do it better will come along and take their place.

So thanks for playing Jaiden, but no, I’m not a new fish, and I don’t care about limited print runs. Nice try, though.

Fans: Yay Mondo! We been doin this thing for years and it keeps getting better!
New Fish: This sucks how come I can’t buy stuff I want a million copies printed and a gigantic seahorse I can ride!!!
Mondo: Oh… uhhh.. that ain’t really how it goes.. Here’s how it goes for those just tuning in..
Rob: I missed the drop today and I’m mad is THIS where I vent?!?
Mondo: Yeah sure Rob, have at..
Jaiden: Rob you’re a goofball…

Fans: “posters are great, limited availability is great,unable to purchase due to completely crappy, barely functional website, not so great.”

Mondo: “tough shit.”

That’s a fine attitude if you don’t care about growing beyond a microscopic, niche, business. If you hope to have larger success, good luck. You’ll need it.

And, by the way, mouthing off to your fans isn’t going to win you any long term love either….

If its so easy to sell posters the way you lot suggest. Why not set up your own companies, fork out thousands for trademark/copyright and artist fees, then try selling your posters fork a third Justin flogs them at.

Then bend over and wait for a shafting when your servers shatter into a million pieces at the first sale. Followed by bankruptcy soon after as you’re not covering costs.

But hey, your fans are happy right?

Btw how many prints does Banksy do? But what if 150 folks ‘put’ one of his items in their cart..? There must be 150 ‘one-offs’, right?
