Jerk McJerkface posted: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. How was the watch anyway?

Most people usually pay YOU to design the logo, not the other way round? Well... Kickstarter posted:Q. £1 logo what's that for Quite frankly the whole thing deserved bolding in my opinion.

So how long until their research is halted by the government, a rift forms between the founders, one of them disappears off the face of the planet, and re-appears as a bug-based supervillain?

klafbang posted:Our next project was "biorhythm calibration," which is a technique where we use radiation from your computer monitor to influence your biorhythms thereby tuning you for, say, a job interview or a date. Um this is stupid, everyone knows that biorhythm calibration can only be achieved with a combination of healing crystals, de-ionized water and magnets.

ErIog posted:The crazy thing is how that's something in a FAQ. As a marketing thing, the difference between their product and normal heat shrink wrapping should be loving front and center. There should A/B comparison shots saying, "Yo, our product is different from this bullshit over here. Here's how." That's not something you just footnote if you are going up against an established product. Nobody who wants to know how it's different(if it even is) is going to bother to read their FAQ. They've already pretty much smashed through their initial goal, so as far as 'marketing' goes, they've done something right! (playing devil's advocate etc etc).

everythingWasBees posted:Theres nothing wrong with a mod making a kickstarter and posting it in the kickstarter thread where goons post their kickstarters though?? And she didn't probate people for criticizing it so the only argument you can make is "lol kickstarter" and "game bad". That doesn't say anything bad about the project or the thread. It just comes across as you having a hateboner for kickstarter and Shalinor. Hey man, people are still reeling over the mod endorsement of Doobie Dogs. They need time to accept mods into their kickstarting hearts again...

Gann Jerrod posted:What "entrepreneurs" don't realize is that Keurig was successful because it replaced a device you already used, with a similar footprint on your countertop. No one is loving the idea of a giant machine that takes up a quarter of your limited space just for making something like tortillas or juice. Man, if ~200% funded at over $100k with 27 days left is the new definition of '"idea that no-one loves", i sure wish my ideas were similarly massive loving failures!!   (devil's advocate or whatever, i don't care for tortilla-bot myself)

fishmech posted:Like seriously this isn't a kickstarter to set up a business or something, it's straight up "pay us money for this thing and you get the thing and we get a profit". The guy who's pitching in $25 is getting the dumb cube they would sell for $25 anyway. If you're the kind of person who wants the dumb cube, why would you not want it anymore just because they've already got $2 million? Because after asking for just 15k and receiving millions in donations (still with 29 days to go), they're probably going to run into problems with fulfiling the quantity of orders in time or even with a minor delay. doing a quick count on the reward tiers (accounting for the ones offering multiple dumb cubes) and the rewards themselves are about 260,000 fidget boxes. great if they somehow pull it out the bag and leave 10s of thousands of backers satisified, but um i personally don't see it going smoothly
