@ the guy who quoted me
i already said they should sell as much as possibe, how many times do people ask this now? and to the rest, i pretty much explained everything, i understand very good how marketing and such things function, thats why i was talking about that and said they will increase the numbers from time to time now calling it everytime "limited" even if they already know they can go up to 100k or so with the production (or the company which will produce it for them).
but yes, i didn't know that you can go to kickstarter and say you have a limit to people to get them purchasing your product as fast as possible even if this isn't the limit. that's why the whole discussion started, i was astonished that this is a part of kickstarter, talking about a limited batch if it isn't really the limit.

I'll only add one last thing about this, cause you know, beating dead horses on the internet and stuff. They, for typical manufacturing reasons, cannot and will never start with unlimited unless the manufacturer is stupid, its super cheap to make and already have angel funding, or they are super 100% confident they can guarantee the manufacturer mass production numbers. They typically have clear set quotes from the people that will be manufacturing their kit for them, if A then B cost, if X then Y cost, etc. It's not just part of kickstarter, its how manufacturing works. You don't do a run of 17544 units. You do a run of 20000 units, and be damned if you can only sell 17544 units.
Anyway.

yeah sure but like i said, i thought if you call something limited on kickstarter it has to be limited to that amount. like if rolex says they have a limit of 100 watches of this or that model for people who will get it half an year earlier than other ones. they won't increase the number then. if you can say what you want on kickstarter and call something limited to 5 or so and sell 5 million in the end i was wrong and know that now.
and the horse is more than dead now^^
