I just wanted to mention that I got my Pebble watch (I was an early backer at $125), and immediately sold it for $350 on Ebay. I'm pleasantly surprised, but I think that is a non-typical end to a Kickstarter experience.

lorn Wayne posted:How was the watch anyway? 100% useless and tacky looking. I get so many emails that the watch pretty much buzzed and vibrated non-stop. I realize I could have turned off notifications for my email accounts, but that's sort of the point of the watch.

 I'd be terrified that'd fall on my face.

I think the Pebble is the only really successful example of a Kickstarter. Although, the finished product was kind of a useless gimmick, but that was the idea going into it. I'm glad that I sold mine for double what I paid for it.

Fauxtool posted:reaper was also successful if you are basing it off percentage over the pledge goal not total dollars raised I've never heard of Reaper before, so I looked it up. Holy crap.

Zeether posted:Remember Bob's Game? He's trying to do a KS for it (again): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bobsgame/bobs-game?ref=discovery Objectively better than Tetris* *game includes Tetris. If Lucas hadn't gotten to make Star Wars I think this is about what he would have turned out in the mid-90s after years of sitting on it.

FrozenVent posted:Still not seeing how that can possibly come up to 3000 pounds. AKA a motherfucking ton and a half. He mentions tradesmen or other construction workers. I'd suggest that you wouldn't want a nearly unbreakable belt because there's a significant safety risk in getting your belt caught in a machine or something, and then instead of the belt breaking and you get free, it is unbreakable and you get TORN IN HALF. A lot of safety planning is based around something else getting destroyed instead of you.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Tim Buckley is pulling in over $2.5k monthly from Patreon. 2400, after taxes is only like $2000, quick back of envelope math tells me he's making about 12 bucks an hour. He also gets no health insurance, so how's he financing all these miscarriages? Congratulations, you are a 35 year old guy with a job that pays slightly more than minimum wage?

Suspicious Dish posted:Charge your internet for the hard-working man on the go I've read that page several times and the best I can gather is that it's a device that consumes your home wifi, stores the "internet" it sucks up, and then lets you tap into it and make a wifi hotspot anywhere? Something about satellites too. I can't make any sense of it.

TetsuoTW posted:As someone who fell for the Pebble the first time, I find it hilarious that people are still dumb enough to give them money for another watch after their first one shipped almost a year late without half of the features they showed in the pitch video. I loved the first Pebble. I got in the first group on Kickstarter, waited 18 months, got it, and put it right on ebay and nearly tripled my money.

Paladinus posted:Wait a second. $53? On kickstarter you can pledge $34 to get one. Bulk purchasing often leads to a cheaper price per unit.
