new55 kickstarter has begun

And to bring the price way down.

Outside of angel investors, only way to bring the price way down is for people to buy them when the prices are up, ie. now, so that they can realize economies of scale. Chicken and egg problem, but that's the way it is.

Glad I got one for free when I bought my 4x5 a couple of years ago!

What the...! Last night the total was around $420K. This morning it reads $401K.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Are people pulling pledges?

[Brian C. Miller]

Oh, I so hope this doesn't tank!

Kicktraq currently shows $400,811 and Kickstarter shows $401,193. People have been pulling out or reducing their pledges, a drop of nearly $28,000! I guess what happened is that people saw that it was going to make it, so they reduced their pledge or pulled out entirely. I think there were three backing at the $9,000 level, and now there's just one. Evidently quite a few others have also reduced their pledge.

13 hours to go.

Where's a that fat lady??

Yea I didn't know you could even pull your pledge like that.

I can see backing out if you only added a lot to help get them over the finish line... But wow, that's a lot of pull back. Let's just hope they don't go under $400,000. We wouldn't want Ken to end up being right

[Andrew O'Neill]

It looks very much like people pulled their pledges... it's back up to $405K.

[Larry Kellogg]

The project is still gaining backers, which is a good thing. Let's hold the line. This is too good a development for the film community to miss by a little bit.

[Andrew O'Neill]

$417k then a couple minutes later, $416K...

[Andrew O'Neill]

.....and back down to $407,933... Apparently once the goal has been met it's funded. There must be safeguards in place to keep it from dipping below $400K. Eight hours to go...!
