Its a bit of a catch 22 since people want the price at 100, but don't want to place their orders until it gets there.

All I can say is to get your order in and have some confidence that prices will drop :high5:

[dirge]

I play pool like Paul ****ing Newman

[muguts]

so can i ask something, for us to reach the 250 mark on the 1-15 set does that mean only 17 people have to commit to buy that set to reach that mark, or am i completely retarded?

Unfortunately that is not accurate.  We need to have 250 people buy the entire set to get that price.  250 may be a longshot, but if we get to 50 sets it seems like a nobrainer to have everyone double their order for a few dollars more.

[muguts]

i only have a fistful of dollars

[muguts]

i put myself down for a 9-ball set. if by some miracle we reach good numbers on the 15 set i'll switch my order

[njvz]

does anyone know if someone has posted this for the koreans?

[kwang2009]

What kinda pace are we on? Are we doing better than some of the top tier GBs?

Great on orders, but since most orders are for 1 set, we are slowly chipping away at the MOQs.

When its just one key, people tend to get 2-10 of them, but a whole set is a more expensive proposition.

[i3oilermaker]

Now officially half way to 15-bal set!

[Soarer]

I'm in for the full set! It had better make the MOQ!

If too many people think like that, it'll never make good numbers on the 15 :-/

[muguts]

yeah but i'm sorry i'm not prepared to drop $50 on 16 keys, i can commit to buy and then bail when we dont reach it but i think that would just give everyone false hope

[Soarer]

Well, maybe.

Hey i3 - how would the prices look if there were 50x 16-key and 50x 10-key sets? Would that bring the 16-key set down a bit?

[muguts]

yeah wouldnt 50x 16-key sets actually add to the existing 10-key sets? like he's saying the 50 9-ball buyers get the 100 set price but the 50 16 ball buyers still pay the 50 set price?

It most certainly will.  I am tracking each key individually so the price will be determined by how many of each key is ordered either in a set or individually.  That is why I put the disclaimer of "Worst Case Scenario" on the set prices.

Once we hit 50 for each I will post the current set prices.  8-ball is 2 short of 50 right now!

Thats why it's better to place the order for the 15 pcs set and if it doesn't hit the tier you want you can switch over to the other 9-ball set, this way the GB organizer and everyone else can see how close we are instead of having to keep track of all the people that MIGHT go in if it reaches a certain amount.

[muguts]

yeah but if it doesnt reach the tier i want, and i back out, and if others do the same as me, then someone who didnt want say a 150 tier only 100 tier, people like me backing out jeopardizes the people who are content with the lower tiers

Yes, but if we look at it your way, only 100 people order but 60 people are tempted to order if it hits 150 sets but it would never hit it because of the 60 people that didn't sign up. If you have a realistic tier amount then it's fine, if we don't hit it I really doubt that many would cancel.

You have a chance to cancel near the end of the GB so then the GB organizer can re-evaluate the situation to see what to do next, I mean if your expectation is 500 sets then I'm pretty sure we won't hit it.

In all situtations its better to order first then back out later, you can even tell your GB organizer that if it doesn't reach X amount I might back out that way everyone knows, its a lot easier to do that then go if we hit X amount so and so will go in and if we hit Y amount these other people will join

Well put.  Considering we are only 2 days into the GB and we have 31 buyers already, I want to say prices will get reasonable.

Now if our friends from Korea want to wake up.... :eyebrows:  Is billiards popular in Korea?

[Soarer]

If I'm right... the 9-ballers would pay the 100x price, and the 15-ballers would pay that plus the 50x price pro-rata for the extra 6 balls. Roughly. And that's not counting any other reduction from single-ball purchases.

edit: Roughly $38 for the 15-ballers, in that case (of 50x each set).

It most certainly will.  I am tracking each key individually so the price will be determined by how many of each key is ordered either in a set or individually.  That is why I put the disclaimer of "Worst Case Scenario" on the set prices.

That is correct
