UPSB v3

General Discussion / UPSB RSVP Color poll

  1. Zombo
    Date: Sun, Feb 15 2009 17:51:12

    We're gonna be rolling UPSB RSVPs pretty soon, but we need to decide on color

    We basically have access to all possible RSVP colors + RZDZ.

    This is multiple choice, meaning you tick ONLY the colors you're interested in buying.

    Feel free to post your favourite color combinations in this thread.

    It will be sold on Penwish.

    NOTE: the most IMPORTANT matter is the combination of body color and logo color... the rest (e.g. grips) you can mix and match with stock RSVPs, so it's not very important.

    at least 250 of each model we select.

    Black body - Silver Logo

    It'll look good with most grip colors (like skyblue ones for an mx).

    What a fantastic project! I dreamed of it ^^

    I chose Black backplug and grip, Rsvp Clear, and gold.

    I wanted to know, does French people like me can get them too?

    Don't worry he's just retarded maybe if we ignore him he'll go away.


    Anyways I'm thinking there should be a limit per person, I don't want some random person ordering like 40 of these. So what about like 4 per person?

    its a continuous sale... unless it constantly sells out like wii do it shouldnt be a problem

    it's a bit more complicated than that,

    before they go up on sale on penwish (the main store), there's gonna be a pre-sale for one batch only which can happen as early as next week. since that batch was ordered before this poll was even made, they'll be of a "limited" model so to speak and different from the later batches from penwish. more info will be given about it.

    Because I really don't want to see people trading the heck out of them like they did with PPP wristbands and FPSB rsvps.
    I just think it's not cool.
    It should be something we cherish. Not buy truckloads to sell/trade at greater value.

    i wouldnt sell it for $100. even if others do.

    people nowadays just buy stuff like this just to sell/trade it later on
    and that kind of pisses me off

    i remember seeing someone put like fpsb rsvp in their trade thread that he was gonna trade them
    even when fpsb didnt even come out yet
    so absurd and ungrateful.

    Date: Mon, Feb 16 2009 05:22:22

    I think by increasing the supply of them will discourage the trading of them =\ so i don't want a limited supply... a limited supply, imo, will make people wnat to trade them even more because of the good deals that they could get with it....

    Increased supply --> Decreased value --> Discouragement of people to bother trading them ...

    i dunno... =\

    Oh. I see what you're saying. It's true.
    but at the same time, my comments are also true.
    If you increase the supply, people might want to buy even more like a truckload and save it for a while then
    sell/trade it like a year later when it seems like there arent that many around.
    but again, its sorta slippery slope

    Uhh.. no.
    its a classic supply and demand story.
    When something becomes more easily available, the price drops, and thus makes people not want to horde as much.
    Plus, this wont be a one time thing, they will be easily available for a while if everything goes as planned.
    Its not gonna be a rare pen. Its going to be a promotional pen.

    The issue is that colored bodies make inserts not so possible, which is why I at least would prefer clear.

    that makes no sense

    if it's limited, then ppl can resell at greater value cuz ppl don't have a choice.

    if its not limited, nobody's gonna buy the reseller at higher price cuz they can just order directly for original price.

    i'd be really happy to sell most pens possible, because profits go back to finance UPSB, which allows the site to live, which is the most important thing.

    at the same time, you don't really want an insert because you want the logo to be visible.

  59. Zombo
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 02:59:59

    just got off with penwish

    1) no sunburst, no moonz (they're out of production)
    2) each batch must have consistent logo color, but not barrel color.

    that means we can do:

    -> 2 batches, one gold, one silver.
    -> Within each batch, have a variety of barrel color.

    which means there will be a great selection to choose from. As mentionned before, grip color is a non-factor.

    this is not yet final confirmed tho

  60. sangara
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 03:08:11

    So we can just run a bunch of barrel colors?

  61. Zombo
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 03:11:39

    yea
    obviously we're not gonna produce barrel colors that nobody want though, I don't want to have any leftovers that nobody orders.

  62. Glamouraz
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 13:12:06

    Maybe the top few votes get produced?

    And I don't want coloured barrels. Makes it hard for inserts.. Then again, I don't see why you would want an insert if you're gonna have the UPSB logo there but oh well..

    EDIT: ok how about we have gold print on clear barrels so we can just put in plain paper or whatever and it'll be more visible?

    Or different colour logos? Cause silver is kinda hard to see.

  63. Heva
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 13:16:46

    Red Logo seems nice?
    but i still follows the majority's decision.

  64. G.lanz
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 16:46:25

    wow, majority goes with clear barrel and black ink... Never saw that coming! Anyway, I think we should have skyblue body or cap, cause those are the default colors on the board, and I guess I associate UPSB with blue smile.gif

    as long you can order from penwish, you can buy

  67. Tatemichi
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 20:22:40

    Like G.lanz i personally think blue when i think of UPSB. like Skyblue body cap, etc and the silver logo would be nice. do you know how much this would cost tho and when they would be available?

  68. Zombo
    Date: Tue, Feb 17 2009 23:03:23

    take a look:

    this is pen allocation based on logo color vs barrel color


    good?

    for clear barrel pens, we're gonna try to use rare colors for grip like yellow, lime green, gold, silver, cuz there is demand for those, so they would be useful as parts.

    you might wonder why no red, that's because we're gonna sell red for pre-sale.

    those colours are for the first batches on penwish (first 500 pens), later on we can change them.

    presale thread up:

    http://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=17436

    -> The pen sold in presale is in limited quantity: 250 pens
    -> The pen is also a limited edition; the pens sold later in the regular sale will have a different design.
    -> For now, we won't be selling red pens on Penwish because this presale has them only.
