I was able to grab one black version this time after not getting one the first drop and missing out on Pray for Paris. It seems like a complete crapshoot though because when I went to process payment, it hunf for like 2 mins and the black version was showing sold out. But somehow it went through when the same exact thing has happened before and I have missed out. I am really sick of Daupe creating this artificial scarcity and causing a goddamn frenzy of resellers / fans fighting over the few they decided to press.
I replied to one of their instagram posts saying that its pretty shitty for them to continue doing what they are doing when within 1 minute of the records being sold, 100s of copies are up on discogs and ebay for like 500-1000% markup. Also said it is a really shitty and stressful experience for fans who just want the music. They replied with "You know this is the first of two drops of this record right?" To which I replied, "So I can look forward to the same shitty experience in a week or two?"
