Belugawrx Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Did not see the final post, but, I think it was heading towards talking about $$$
Petetrucker07 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I saw it on its way to being locked anyway.I wouldn't put money into such a thing anyway. Harrys points were valid and made sense. Why put into "something", just to spend buying said "something" in the end.
Snake45 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I thought the discussion was quite interesting, and was sorry to see it gone.There is a way to "crowdfund" a new kit release that's entirely fair, you know.
The Creative Explorer Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I believe I was the last post before it dissapeared, I made two posts; first posts had some explanation of three kinds of crowdfunding, but was quoted from a website (with source for more deeper material)My second post was my opinion on what would've been the best option IMHO; Debt-crowdfunding, but not in that form. With debt funding one invest money to receive money.What would work in my opinion is money for kit, that makes crowdfunding basically a pre-paid modelkit for the consumer and a short-term loan for the manufacturer.The way to get in is to buy 'bricks', every brick would be let's say, 25 dollar, for every brick will be a modelkit in return, where one can purchase as many bricks as one would like.The manufacturer sets a target and as soon as the targets hits, he starts the process. If the target doesn't work, the consumers get their money back.A very low risk situation for everybody involved.
Harry P. Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 I got a note from Casey... he deleted the topic. He explained why. I sort of disagree with his reasoning, but at least now I know why it disappeared.
