    The Caustic Window LP (CAT023) Kickstarter FAQ - LIVE NOW!

    I have a question. It's now unlimited to the amount of people which is great.

    But say we get 1000 people pitching in £10. When it comes to be sold on eBay afterwards no one individual is going to pay £10,000. So isnt it going to be a loss this way?

     

    P.s my phone sucks

     

    yeah, basically the more people that get involved, the less money per investor that will be returned from the sale of the item in the auction. At this point does it matter though, the main point was getting the release to all that wanted it.

    I'm thinking at this point since as it was mentioned, the return per-backer could be so small, it might not be worth the effort to try and refund the money - I'm thinking just chuck that bit towards charity (or to cover distribution costs - things are starting to look scary in terms of bandwidth costs of what it will take to deliver FLAC or WAV downloads to 1000+ people).

     

    That, and Kickstarter actually doesn't allow financial rewards like that (I've had to remove that language as well as the chartiy aspect from the Kickstarter for the approval process).

    But what about the aspect of, we as the collective buy it for £10,000 because we're getting over excited and carried away. Then you sell it on ebay for £5000 or less (because everyone has it on mp3 now) someone is set to grab a bargin if the resale won't take off. And rephlex/Richard get less in the process.

     

    Just a thought.

     

    (get that kickstarter up) :D

    No, the Ebay auction happens before anyone gets a download - I don't want that taking the wind out of the sails of the auction. Auction is like a week max, so I am sure we'll have plenty of interest, and we'd almost certainly have a reserve set - this is not going for pennies on the dollar, considering it's physical rarity.

    Ah. Thats cool then.

    What TV series are you watching at moment?

    Watched the first episode of the From Dusk Till Dawn series last night and it was totally badass. I'm definitely on board for this one. The dude who plays the same character as Tarantino in the film is even better in the TV series, imo. Rodriguez has also said he prefers the TV series to the film, so I'm really curious to see where it goes in terms of narrative & quality. (since I enjoy the film but think the 2nd half is kinda retarded and nowhere near as good as the 1st half)

    Yeah I've seen 3 so far. But I dislike how the guy who plays Seth keeps slipping into a clooney impersonator every now and again. "alright every body be cool... You be cool"
