BuzzersonKillwell Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 From a production prospective that is a pretty clever use of an additional spot color. At least that is how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrh2001 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That Halloween variant is much better than the Mondo Con screening version, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Fuck that.Really? He's a jerk for selling them at the average price? Is he suppose to just give them away? He is trying to raise money to start a new business... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Really? He's a jerk for selling them at the average price? Is he suppose to just give them away? He is trying to raise money to start a new business... Seeing as he most likely got them at cost or probably free, it does come across as a bit douchey. its unreasonable to expect him to give them away or sell them at the original selling price, but if you really had a problem with the secondary market like he and Mondo do (did), you probably could sell them at a more reasonable price and still make some money and make fans happy. There is a more reasonable approach given his connection to the material. rthursdayx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 lol he got it all for free...but he did work for all that so let him do what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxvinyl Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Considering the guy was a hugely integral part to building the Mondo brand, I personally have no problem with his asking prices. Dude's earned it as far as I'm concerned... Royce and lethalenforcer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 He'd be foolish to unload them for cost. Flippers would buy them up and then sell them for inflated prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambionic Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 if 1-2000 pins just sold that quick. i'm getting into the $10 enamel pin business. i doubt there were that many though haha. It's a pretty good business, honestly. I've made close to a grand just selling a few pins here and there. It's pretty awesome getting your own artwork into a medium like that, too!

rthursdayx Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 That's right he did do ALOT of work over the years but after Mondo got go and started becoming insanely popular over the years are people forgetting he was getting paid/making money from the business just like any worker would except probably alot more money. Of course he got the prints for free...no one is saying he should get rid of these prints for free or cost but these are Ebay prices he's charging even the Median prices for these rare prints is a lot of money. So what happened to the salary he made every year to make it seem like he's completely desperate for money to the point that he's taking the prints he owns from a company he parted ways with, that these amazing artists created and charging TOP dollar for them to the people who helped his former company grow and become what it is today. I have a little bit of a problem with that we are always posting links to Ebay listings after a Mondo item sells out and someone is selling it for triple the price or more and frown on it. I'm sure his collection is amazing as he had access to anything. If he were to sell Ken Taylors Halloween for $450-500 and the Variant for $750 instead of $700 and $1,000...it wouldn't seem soooo bad. I'm sure he didn't get all these free prints with the intention of selling them for flippers prices but it seems a little fucked up to me...I'm grateful for the company he was a part of but I'm sure he's made more money than all of us together and we rip on people who turn around and try to sell something for a flippers profit. And we all know people will pay it because it's Mondo...now for all the people who miss out on a print or a vinyl record because it sells out in seconds just to turn around an hour later and see Ebay flooded with them for outrageous prices all know how frustrating It is to collect Mondo Prints/Vinyl, and it's just getting worse. I hear talk about bots sniping prints on big drops and I wouldn't be surprised at all it's the world we live in but it's sucking the joy out of the hobby and Mondo doesn't seem to care to implement Captcha's to prove your human giving everyone an equal chance. EBay Sniper bidding programs have been around for a long time but EBay doesn't care the more your item sells for the more they can charge you in fees. Mondo says they go the extra mile to make sure people only get one print or 2 vinyl per household but when it seems like half the prints end up on Ebay almost instantly meaning half the sales went to flippers that pass the one print criteria but one print is all you need when you are making double or triple your money back. If there are as many Mondo Sniping Bots as I imagine there are and Mondo made it so they were useless these flippers wouldn't sit there like a lot of us do hitting F5 over and over again for the chance they might get lucky and a lot of people who actually want prints would have a much better success rate getting something they will actually appreciate...RANT OVER!

There is a more reasonable approach given his connection to the material. I think six month average is the most fair thing he could have done. He's trying to start a business so he's not going to give anything away. And because of that his cost, or lack therof, is irrelevant to the conversation. But by going with the average he's not price gouging, either. Maybe if stuff doesn't sell you'll be able to negotiate down a percentage from the average or something.

jaxvinyl Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Not enough time/patience to read that ridiculously long rant above (sorry), but I skimmed over it and got the gist. I believe I read somewhere it was part of his contract/deal with Mondo that he receive one copy of every print. Sort of like receiving stock options for a company you work for. It's part of your pay. If that's the case, I would absolutely sell my stock in a company I'm leaving for top dollar. Also I can't pretend to know what the guy's salary was, but when starting your own business, every dollar helps.
