Nebby Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Looks like a decent price for a clone, though the main question will be what quality wood they use. Sanding and refinishing can be done fairly easily if need be, at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwood Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I'm over Kickstarter and other crowd source funding, wannabe "investing". At best it's full of morons that have no clue how to manufacture anything, have endless delays, and falling short. At worst it's full of complete bullshit like the $50,000+ Potato Salad joke. Yeah, it's kind of funny, until you realize people paid over $50,000 for basically nothing. OK, maybe some shitty T-Shirts, but really in the end, it's the Potato Salad guy that's doing all the laughing, all the way to the bank.

Dusty Chalk Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Exactly (to the latter). It was funny until the money. To the former -- no, at best, it's a way to pre-order cool music or comics with some nice extras and percs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah, I'm not sure we should be judging the concept by the likes of Potato Salad Man. That's just someone along for the ride. I agree though the manufacture mistakes/delays can be really irritating and if it's something you have experience in, probably even more so. Then again many of us have had worse delays in our little hobby. I have a wallet and the nicest belt I've ever worn on me right now, will probably listen to some Classical binaural DSD tracks later, and Quickey multi-tools will arrive this week - all from these sites. GF is excited about the sous vide cooker coming. We'll see how the Light Harmonic thing goes, but if it goes south my anger won't be towards Kickstarter/Indigogo.

Tyll Hertsens Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think crowd sourcing is a pretty amazing thing. Having been told "no" by banks and bit on the ass hard by venture capitols sharks, I think alternative funding methods are very freeing. 'Course the problem with freedom is all the free-dumb you get along with the good stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 You just have to do a decent amount of research on whether a project is achievable/realistic before you help fund it. A friend of mine is thus far 5 for 5 on Kickstarter/Indiegogo projects he's backed, but he's worked and headed numerous projects for companies that manufacture specialized items so he probably can guess which one has a decent chance of being successful.

Sherwood Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm 5 for 5 as well, and I've done absolutely no work. I've grabbed only thins I wanted, and I'm happy with all of them. i grabbed the coolest, too. I think we'll see some interesting delays when he tries to ship 20,000 units (and counting), but I expect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 That product goes against the very fiber of my being, Dinny. It's 1 time use! You need to buy another one every time you fill balloons, and you can't fill fewer than one hundred at a time. Their competitors are cooler, in my view, but just being a man and knowing how to tie water balloons quickly is the coolest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
