Project FAQ
Unfortunately at this time I do not have the funds to self fund anything I make. This means that if a lot of the funding happens to be stuck behind Pay-Over-Time, I am forced to either order less/unfund designs, or wait until I have received all funding over 4 months before I place my pin orders. I do not currently feel comfortable waiting that long to place pin orders, and would like to know exactly how much I am working with for the manufacturing process ahead of time, since some people do not finish paying their Pay-Over-Times, as well. As of right now, I don't tend to get any profit from my campaigns. I do sometimes get profit from the survey add-ons, but those get charged long after pins are ordered with the manufacturer. TL;DR I need the money up front to buy the pins so that you can all get them in a timely manner, and I cannot afford to self fund in any capacity!
The short answer is: Yes. It will ultimately depend on how I feel when I see them in person, and the grading system, but I do intend to sell the large dragons for $45 instead of $40, and the smaller dragons as $25 instead of $20. These prices are not yet set in stone. One thing I can guarantee, though, is that you are getting a deal on bundles, as I do not do bundle deals in-hand.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
