Miss Understanding
Imagine. On our website, it says in bold red: ATTENTION: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PIECE THROUGH THE SITE. YOU MUST FIRST CONTACT US BELOW
Problem #1: We get someone who decides to not read a thing, and they order it anyway.
Problem #2: They expect us to ship it with the full acknowledgment that they know there's no price on it, hence free.
Problem #3: They expect to receive it without paying a cent for it. These are works that costs significant amounts of money.
All names removed: but the email below is real. This has happened more than once. We now ignore stuff like this since the person on the other end is just lame. It's a shame humanity is doomed thanks to people like this.
I ordered a Ray Fong Barry McGee painting about one and a half weeks ago, and i have not received it yet even though the painting was in stock. I was wondering if there was some miss understanding because there was no price on it.
Thank You

This post is ridiculous. Why would you guys NOT be giving expensive art away? It makes absolutely no sense!
Oh, by the way, for the next two weeks anyone who wants can come by my bank and grab money*, as much as they can whenever they want.
*CAVEAT: Must be dumb to grab
Oh, Eric, don't despair and give humanity a bit of chance. Now, erosion of intelligence in humankind, now, that's another story. It's alarming to think there are stupid people like this. They really think they don;t have to pay for shipping ???
J.H.
Maybe you should change the website so instead of items that require contacting GR not be priced at $0.00 but $1,000,000.00 with a flat shipping fee of $10,000.00 There could be a notice that considerable savings are offered to those who contact GR before hitting the submit button.
I know, I know, then the lunkheads who don't bother to read would just go complaining that your prices are way out of line.
Is it that hard to have the site prevent people from adding the item to their cart? Usually bad design leads to bad outcomes.
i'd like to order 6 of these.
do you have them in a men's medium?
i don't like the color, are there any other options?
is this poster available as a postcard?
*yeah yeah.....i know, i know.......but not everyone does.
people are awesome.
hahaha! There's some real dumbshits in the world...
