Autocorrect Epic Fail: Playing Cards Deck (KS)

[CrankUP]

If this project reaches its goal, I will lost all hope for playing cards......and humanity for that matter. This is just plain dumb. People trying to make a cheap buck.

Unless he's printing the cards himself at home, he stands a solid chance of LOSING money, not making it.  Some people draw up a "business plan" that makes no financial sense whatsoever when creating KS projects.  One kid actually tried offering a USPC-manufactured deck, 2,500-deck run, with a goal of only $1,000.  That wouldn't even cover the POSTAGE on such an undertaking!

Considering the first try did $65 in 9 days- this is a 40 day project- he should get his funding by $10-$20

There's something coming to mind about fools and their money...

It's possible he will get all his original backers, it's possible he'll get more - but it's also possible he'll get LESS.  I'd like to think that some Kickstarter backers have a few brain cells they can rub together for warmth and that they'd realize something about this project doesn't past the sniff test.

Ok.

WHY would he ever cancel his project with a goal of $8,500 and restart it with a goal 3% of the original? That's insane.

This has got to be the most poorly thought through KS campaign I've ever seen. I almost want to back it for a buck to see the ensuing failure if it actually goes through with funding.

He would cancel it because he predicted that his chances of success were slim with a goal that size.  Then he pulled a number out of his a$$ that was low enough to nearly guarantee reaching the goal, but the number, unbeknownst to him, is insanely low for a deck project, even with an off-label printer.

Why give him a buck?  Is his deck REALLY worth a buck?  I prefer watching train wrecks from a distance rather than in the lounge car...

This entire campaign is an Epic Fail… What a garbage idea… SMH… Sorry to have bumped the thread… But let's just stop this foolishness...
