Wow, I didn't know that it would be 10%.

Did you guys get the 'Spanish donation'? Just double checking....

It's a good idea to check since nobody expects the Spanish donation.

EDIT: After watching this again, it's kinda PG.

I know it barely fits but it's a good clip.

Well, at least we can adjust for it next time. I know it's a sticky subject, but might be interesting to discuss the merits of runinng the Kickstarter drive based on a "make 1 donation, get 1 set" basis next time, where we build in a cost for shipping as well. Even if it ends up being more than we need overall (thanks to combined shipping or whatever). For instance, if it was $1800 for 500 sets, that's roughly $3.60 per set. Then just assume around $5 per set for shipping, boxes etc. (might be higher than that, depending on whether Dean had to purchase any boxes/envelopes). Then just do the kickstarter drive where for every $8.50 you donate, you get one set. Obviously, adjusted as necessary based on what the final costs for shipping/boxes/etc. on this set. Heck, could even do $10 per set, that way there is some extra money built into it from the get-go in order to have some extra sets printed up for prize support and stuff like that.

I don't know....just an idea to consider.

That does sound a lot better, but I think that once you start putting more sets to be shipped one place, the cost of shipping per set goes down (up to a certain point). That's not really a bad thing, but it's something that when you're charging per set it's easier to be accused of doing it for profit, especially when you start saving on shipping becasue you are sending multiples at a time. Currently that's the only problem I foresee with that, but as long as the facts are ready to put down the accusations, that seems like a good new direction to go after this learning experience.
