[x3sphere]

Maybe EviLore would want it.

 

[Joyful]

become the legend op

 

[Syriel]

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.

Keep it. That's only 2 month's rent in SF. What a steal!

 

[SalvaPot]

Setup a gofundme and then raffle the thing between everyone x). What could go wrong?

 

[Hidden One]

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

I'm down..Hell I'd put twenty down to have better odds >_>.

 

[ChrisD]

If you actually, really, definitely, honestly can spend $10,000, I'd buy it just to sell back in a few years from now. Just BABY that thing, but make sure not to get attached to it.

Then again, I don't know if I'd want to conduct in business with that much money. Would be really risky.

In typing this, I think my opinion just changed to a sad, "No, you shouldn't buy it, even though it's a once in a life-time thing."

 

[Hip Hop]

Nah man, cancel it.

people out here dying for $10k.

might as well just donate that if your gonna go spend it on a jacket.

But hey, you might be rich, so I guess it's okay.
I would donate $10k and buy that jacket at once if I had the money.

 

[Soulflarz]

Okay many people want my idea.

OP Cmon :3 Raffle would be great

 

[Erekiddo]

Pretty sure staff would frown on collecting money from members.

 

[fedexpeon]

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'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.

It is a good idea to use credit card for points then go pay it off in a few day so that the points can register, plus, you have a better fraud protection.
You are worse off by using your debit card.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

 

[Evo X]

Dude. It's the ONLY one in the world. Definitely worth the $10K.

It will be a part of history and some super rich collector will probably buy it off you for more than that if you ever want to sell it.

 

[Delstius]

Cancel it, you'll make someone happy and save $10k at the same time.

 

[Pinko Marx]

If you pass this opportunity by you'll likely regret it for the rest of your life.

 

[JediLink]

Just realise that going through with this will probably alter the course of your life significantly, for better or for worse. That's my two cents. And to be clear, that's a figurative two cents cause like hell if I'm donating anything for you to do this.

 

[Soulflarz]

Pretty sure staff would frown on collecting money from members.

No idea tbh, ask a mod? I mean, have a third party set it up, orr

 

[fedexpeon]

Maybe EviLore would want it.

He is probably PMing him right now lol.

 

[Kayant]

Get it am sure you can survive for that month? without eating or having shelter? You can only do this once

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Dude, keep it.
If you're ever in a pickle financially you could probably sell it for twice as much on eBay.

 

[Adam Prime]

What the fuck... "You have the money?"

Damn son. That's one hell of a stealth brag man. Shit.

 

[GAMERG0D]

He is probably PMing him right now lol.

He'll trade his admin powers for it lol

 

[Odrion]

Lmao if you think blowing $10,000 on nerd merch won't cause any long term regret.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

This is OP right now looking at our answers

 

[MaximumSpider]

Just buy it.
You won't have to buy anything else for the rest of your life. For now on, wearing that jacket entitles you everything in this world. Anything you want can be yours.

 

[mgs2master2]

 

[-Eddman-]

Ok, here's the plan:

Buy it, then shoot Shenmue: The Movie starring yourself, and the jacket will pay itself with the profit. Everybody wins.

Ohhhhh... that's a winner. Great job, El Torro.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Once in a lifetime opportunity versus living in a box and eating coal?

Do you have a talent? Move to LA and get noticed after you get back.

 

[Erekiddo]

Worst part? Est. delivery Dec 2017.

So my money is in limbo for 2 1/2 years? Are physical rewards shipped a lot sooner than the game release?

 

[kase23]

I'll send you $15 bucks if you let me wear the jacket for a night, it needn't be the whole night either, just a few hours, balls in your court

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Ok so which 3 gaffers were the other 10,000 dollar donations.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Lmao if you think blowing $10,000 on nerd merch won't cause any long term regret.

Yeah but this is 1 of 1 nerd merch. It's like getting the opportunity to buy the original Vader helmet in SW or something.

 

[TheOctodad]

Buy it and go to gaming conferences and charge $10 to get a picture taken with you.

That's only 1,000 pictures.

 

[texhnolyze]

Someone will make a replicate of it at some point though.

 

[Soulflarz]

Authenticity though

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Congrats on the $10,000 dot gif.

 

[V-Faction]

Be careful with your money.

 

[Odrion]

You could also buy a leather jacket and fashion it into a shenmue jacket yourself for a tiny fraction of that cost.

Or just buy a great looking jacket.

Yeah but this is 1 of 1 nerd merch. It's like getting the opportunity to buy the original Vader helmet in SW or something.

This is not like buying the original vader helmet. This is spending $10,000 on a replica jacket for a fundraiser for an old and relatively obscure videogame.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Someone will make a replicate of it at some point though.

Not the same

 

[Harl3]

They will probably do more jackets if fans ask for it.


Edit: Woops. I see it can't. It was worn by someone.

 

[trixx]

ahahaha, fund mother 5 as well please

Honestly, if you cant afford to spend this its a terrible idea

 

[The Hermit]

I was wondering who was the crazy person who did that... And was a bit jealous honestly lol

That jacket is unique. I thought it should be in a separate tier, like 12k

Omg this is glorious

 

[Finalizer]

[Odrion]

They will probably do more jackets if fans ask for it.

YEAH. ALSO THIS. DON'T SPEND $10,000 ON A BET THAT THAT'LL BE THE ONLY SHENMUE JACKET IN EXISTENCE.

We're like four years into Kickstarter. Either remember or research the trend that companies take with merchandising. A lot of game studios end up making more of that merchandise if people demand it.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

I have the money OP. Just not sure if I want to drop 10k right now...

 

[Erekiddo]

I should keep the jacket if Mother 3 is announced tomorrow.

 

[Dennis]

If 100 gaffers each pitch in $100 its paid.

Then cut up the jacket and give each a piece.

 

[Grief.exe]

If you donate that kind of money, you should have access to a percentage of the profits. That's just a ridiculous tier.

 

[Northeastmonk]

King Solomon everyone.
