The price was already crazy as is, but to offer a 25% discount, well I'm glad I did not but the used Surface device I had in mind. The specs on this are higher and the original price was already a bit cheaper. Now, I'm not even looking back. Gonna get this as soon as possible
Using Kickstarter for this was a very smart move. But I am being very selfish here because I get a discount as I am buying this device which was already at a decent price point, to begin with... So I am more than happy to take total advantage of this with no shame or remorse. So here is to hoping they place more of their product on Kickstarter... lol
