final edit: originally i had posted an email exchange from someone accusing the lotto sale process of being biased. words were said, feelings were hurt, and i posted the transcript as a way of telling my side of the story, since the other guy said he was posting around online his side of the story etc. but time has passed and i feel a little guilty, so i'm taking it down.
Regarding the lotto sale process. i know its a convoluted way of selling prints. some of you probably remember a few years back when i just put the posters up for sale at a certain time, first come first serve. i had a few problems with store crashes and the email lotto system seemed to be a solution to that. no sale method will make everyone happy, not as long as there are more people trying to get the poster than posters available.
i try to be fair. that's why its set up the way it is. at the end of the day, its my posters, my way of selling them. and that's all i'm doing, selling posters in what i believe to be a fair way. if you are unhappy with that, i assume you'll purchase your posters elsewhere. if enough people end up doing that, then i'll have to change the way i do sales. as long as my current way works, and as long as i think its a fair way to do things, i'll keep doing it. since again, its one person's way of selling prints.
i'm always happy to explain how / why i do things the way i do them, or have sarah explain it. i try to be fairly transparent. if you have serious concerns, email me. i will try to avoid posting those emails online.
thanks again,

ps. this is a bizarre line of work sometimes. poster lotteries? selling posters online? we are through the looking glass.
