No--at this point I view the S4 Mini as a model number, not an iteration. I do want to make more (it would be a S4 R.2) but I need to find funding. I definitely need help in this area. If I did an Indiegogo I would need everyones's support in this thread to make it work. I have alot of love and passion into this project and it is stressing me out how to continue.

I have a waiting list a mile long and not near enough Mini's in the pipe to go around, but still not the numbers I need for a 1000 unit run. I feel caught against a rock and a hard place.

I have gotten the manufacturing cheaper at this point, but every mini I have sold so far has been at a loss. I hope to break even on the next small batch (not the run) after operating costs but I have a long way to go to making this profitable enough to where I can not kill myself working.

I'm sharing with you guys because I literally LOVE you. My customers have been amazingly supportive and it is overwhelming that people genuinely seem to like the S4 Mini. I want to keep going (and I will, God willing), I just need to figure out how.

But yeah, buying my overpriced buttons and turnkey systems does massively help!!!

[QUOTE="Josh | NFC, post: 16149, member: 43"] No--at this point I view the S4 Mini as a model number, not an iteration. I do want to make more (it would be a S4 R.2) but I need to find funding. I definitely need help in this area. If I did an Indiegogo I would need everyones's support in this thread to make it work. I have alot of love and passion into this project and it is stressing me out how to continue. I have a waiting list a mile long and not near enough Mini's in the pipe to go around, but still not the numbers I need for a 1000 unit run. I feel caught against a rock and a hard place. I have gotten the manufacturing cheaper at this point, but every mini I have sold so far has been at a loss. I hope to break even on the next small batch (not the run) after operating costs but I have a long way to go to making this profitable enough to where I can not kill myself working. xD I'm sharing with you guys because I literally LOVE you. My customers have been amazingly supportive and it is overwhelming that people genuinely seem to like the S4 Mini. I want to keep going (and I will, God willing), I just need to figure out how. :D But yeah, buying my overpriced buttons and turnkey systems does massively help!!! xD [/QUOTE]
