Well, like the first one, they were available for stores to pre-book as much as they wanted. If a shop ordered 50 Curb Killers first round then they'd get em. It just kind of kicked off more than we'd expected on that one, we kept ordering and they kept selling out. Not a bad problem, some folks got a bit pissy about it because they had a hard time getting those, and the re-sellers were kind of taking the piss with them a bit (I saw a signed one one up on Ebay for $1200 which is weird to me because we had about 100 in the warehouse ready to ship to stores). Ebay is kind of daft overall though, people just try it on a bit when they put stuff up, like I'm trying to get a Richard Corben book at the moment that retailed for $30 when it came out, but people have it up for $300 cos it's out of print. I'm not paying that, and I'm sure I'll come across it at a yard sale or something one day. Same with a Tom Waits book by Anton Corbijn, it was $150 when it first released now it's $500 on Ebay, but they just kind of sit there for a couple of years until someone with that money comes by, and it sets a false precedent because people see it at that price and go "Oh it's on Ebay for $500, so it mush be worth $500) and its not the case, its just some mug trying it on.
Anyway, back to skateboards, I feel like we got more of everything on the initial run on this drop, Baker Boys does all the production and ordering and with the success of the last one I'm hoping that we're going to have plenty to go around on everything this time.
@darkthrone did you guys increase the production numbers for this series of eggs, or are these still going to be super hard to find in stores and sell for 3x on eBay?
