Support NeoGAF

[Chaos17]

I think you can cancel your backing before the kickstarter end and get your money back.

 

[DR2K]

Sailors make for cheap dates. Buy it.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yeah, OP. I'm thinking you should seriously set up a GoFundMe. Would be interesting to see what you could get xD

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Buy it

In 10 years it will be worth 30k+

Its a good investment

 

[Derphoof]

Do it.

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

 

[jediyoshi]

Cut it up into 10k pieces and sell each for a dollar and a cent. Boom.

 

[ChoklitCow]

Gotta get it now. It's been decided.

 

[Maximo]

We could ruin his lif..i mean make his dreams come true or deny him the pleasure and persuade him to say no.

 

[genjiZERO]

Bwahaha. Buy it! Buy it! Would be really epic.

 

[Usoto215]

It is a pretty sick jacket....

 

[Psyae]

Don't forget: you're not just getting the jacket, but you're also getting a special video message from Yu Suzuki!!

 

[Aizo]

E3 surprises keep coming!

 

[Timeaisis]

We should all buy it together.

Dude, there are better things for you to spend that $10,000 on. Don't waste it on Kickstarter merch.

Are there?

 

[Daigoro]

at first i was like "no you cant, someone already pledged for it", then i was like "oh. i guess you can".

lol

hah.

 

[Vamphuntr]

10k is a lot of money. You can probably do much better than a Jacket from a videogame series. Unless you are confident you can flip it for much more don't do it.

 

[Smurf Yetti]

Donate it to the neogaf museum lol

 

[Odrion]

Are there?

lemme check

yes

 

[Erekiddo]

.

The iOS screencap is from right around when it went up.

What if the message is him laughing that someone spent so much on a jacket?

 

[btrboyev]

New definition of The old jacket meme we had here years ago.

 

[WiCkEd_Co]

It will be like all of ours but it stays at my house.

 

[Hazaro]

Honestly it's probably a good investment since someone else will want it more.

 

[exmachina64]

Let's all have a laugh. Or persuade me to get a $10k jacket.

Get it.

We'll take up a collection for your food.

 

[Soulflarz]

So can 1000 gaf members put $10 towards this and we have a raffle?

 

[Odrion]

Please don't look to a gaming forum to persuade you to lose that much money on a videogame jacket, especially if you need it to eat and have shelter.

You could probably get a replica for twenty times cheaper.

 

[fedexpeon]

If the KS reaches 2M, keep it.
You can probably auction it off for a higher price.

 

[Erekiddo]

So can 1000 gaf members put $10 towards this and we have a raffle?

Modbot the Shenmue jacket.

 

[sleepwalkcapsules]

Won't your credit card deny it? Do you have that credit card limit?

It's unfeasible. Let it go

 

[SephCast]

I'd throw in $5 for you to have that jacket. What's your PayPal?

 

[jabuseika]

A Gaf member must get this Jacket.

So can 1000 gaf members put $10 towards this and we have a raffle?

We're onto something.

 

[Ampersands]

That's such an irresponsible use of money.

Spoiler

I love it.

 

[fedexpeon]

So can 1000 gaf members put $10 towards this and we have a raffle?

Not a bad idea.
10 dollars to get a chance to win a gaming relic? I am in.

 

[Psyae]

I'd throw in $5 for you to have that jacket. What's your PayPal?

Ditto! Just do the gofundme, OP!

 

[Odrion]

I just googled "Shenmue Jacket" and I got this: https://www.insertcoinclothing.com/jackets/hazuki.html

Eighty pounds. Eighty fucking pounds. Do you really want to spend over ten times that for a version of that jacket for a Kickstarter? Think again what $10,000 can get you.

 

[tensuke]

We can all pitch in and get to wear the jacket for like a week.

 

[Glass Joe]

Along with the rest of you and the collective masses overall, I hopped over to Kickstarter immediately during the Sony Shenmue III Kickstarter announcement.

The site was understandably chugging, but I still struggled to put my pledge in for the $29 tier. A couple dozen refreshes later, it finally went through and I got an e-mail confirmation.

I checked sometime later and realized: I'm on the $10,000 jacket tier.





I have the money - but, I need to eat, and pay rent.

I'm going to change this, but does anyone (unlikely?) else on GAF want it before I switch?

Let's all have a laugh. Or persuade me to get a $10k jacket.

Dude, don't switch with anyone on the internet with $10 grand involved. GAF's a good group of people but you're gonna run into some sleazy scammer. Someone who legit wants the jacket will just pledge that tier when it's available again.

 

[Erekiddo]

Won't your credit card deny it? Do you have that credit card limit?

It's unfeasible. Let it go

I have a 12k limit, so no.

 

[ramuh]

We as (GAF) should totally fund you buying the jacket and then throw a crazy GAF thing to give away to a lucky fan.

 

[Afrocious]

May I ask what you do to have 10k saved up like that? Not to pry of course. I just got a new job that pays pretty well and I'm trying to save 10k myself.

I have a 12k limit, so no.

I'll probably get a lot of flack for this response, but if you're gonna use a credit card for it and not straight up cash, then I say no.

Unless you're trying to get a ton of rewards or something, that is.

 

[HoodWinked]

omg holy shit

 

[ryseing]

Keep your pledge.

Some nutter down the line will pay you far more than what you paid, plus you get to have the honor of owning the jacket until then.

Look at it as an investment.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

There's only one... but that's a shitton of money, bro.

If you need to, I'm pretty sure a gaffer could take it off you.

 

[Rhaknar]

Rich people see weird

 

[L95]

I honestly think you could sell it for more to some collector later.

Not that this is necessarily a wise decision...

 

[El-Suave]

We should crowdfund this pledge and put the jacket into some sort of NeoGaf museum or a Hall of Fame.

 

[victreeb3l]

lol Dude you were the one that made that pledge? Sweet.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Do the neogaf raffle thing
