Damn you, you guys are enablers lol... Now I'm taking the poster risk since they're US only. One of these things better be real. If I get 1 real signature I'll be happy lol. 

Now I'm just thinking about the fans that argue these are real and refuse to believe they would sell fakes... If we believe these are fakes once they ship... is it ethical, or unethical to resell them to the people who refuse to admit or believe they are fake? If you can't convince them they're fake, aren't they 100% real to them? So you're selling them a real signature in their mind.

Just a funny thought. In reality, They'll probably just end up on a shelf collecting dust with my fake ozzy signatures that I don't know what to do with. 

I'd be more optimistic about the posters if they came in a set edition size, and if they had a higher price. If there were 1,000 posters for sale for $150 each, I'd feel confident they were real. But when 10,000 are being sold and the poster is only $16, I just don't see it - that's a really great price even for an unsigned poster.

Lots of artists will sign their work free as a way to boost sales and get more people to buy that art. So I understand why artists would offer free signatures on books/CDs/etc. But I can't imagine Lady Gaga signing that many posters for such a low price. When you've got hundreds of millions of dollars, it's the equivalent of pulling pennies out of the gutter.

That being said, I still ordered one. Even if it's a fake, I won't feel like I've lost enough to be too annoyed.

As for reselling them, I think the most ethical thing to do is to list them with some sort of caveat that they're official but that you didn't witness it being signed, and can offer no guarantees. And then start the auction for $16.50 and let them decide.

It's also a good way to cover yourself. My concern is that someone will buy the item, send it to Beckett or PSA, get a failed response, and then accuse me of forgery and demand a refund 3 months after the sale. It'd be a huge hassle, and I don't want negative feedback or order cancellations.

If you're very truthful upfront, then it covers you ethically, and it also means the buyer knows the situation beforehand, and is less likely to purchase it if they're someone who really cares about authenticity.

I'd stay away from all this nonsense. All of it. 

I am having a hard time right now getting my money back for the Lil Waynes.  Who is also Universal, they're fighting me tooth and nail for that 30.00 dollars.  I will make sure to never use paypal again on preorders.  I will stick with credit cards.

I got screwed on the lil wayne ones too I said they were damaged in shipping because they just lie about them being real and won't admit even way obvious autopens like ozzy are fake. They said they'd refund me like 20 bucks out of 60 something dollars because they said they won't refund digital album copies... And last I checked I never even got the refund for 20. Complete waste of time and money. 

Did they refund the whole order then, or did they still charge you for the digital singles like normal?

I haven't even checked if the refund went through yet. I assume they'll keep the digital copy money though. Then they can still count it on the charts as 4 copies sold. 

Just checked my card, no refund posted yet. I'll try to update once it shows up, if it does.

In other being ripped off news, My credit card dispute letter came today on the fake Ozzy autographs, they denied the refund so I lost $72 bucks and wasted a bunch of time on that. 

Anyone else get that? 

Haha, I thought the exact same thing and almost didn't post it.
