It is getting harder for sure, but at the end of the day, I'm not sure they can do anything to solve the problem. I don't know how many people try to get their gear on a given drop, Mitch can probably answer that, but it has got to be at least 2,000. Probably more. Most people do it from work. I do it from home, and even though I have the fastest residential cable connection available, it is still much slower than a hardline internet connection.
I now own
317 prints, including 26 that were bought from flippers. So I guess I'm not doing too bad. Still, Mondo is advertizing like crazy, it is getting harder and I understand the frustration, the same frustration that has led me to buy less in recent months. Which is somewhat good, because I sometimes get carried away by hype, only to end up with a print I couldn't care less about. If I buy from a flipper, I will obviously think twice about it. So there is good in bad.

PS: In the case of those Moss prints, forget this morning drop, you should buy the variants. The Japanese lettering makes them so much better, imo.
