9/
I have something like 2,500 distinct items to mail, and the options are:
* have them shipped to the farm, package and reship (
)
* do a week long coding project to massive update my screen scaper / auto-ordering project from 4 years ago (
)
* throw money at a logistics biz

14/ meta-answer: I know nothing and make n=1 guesses in the darkness, taking stabs and hoping for the best object-level answer: my thinking is that these are aimed at 99% aspirational buyers and 1% actually doing it people, max profit comes from affordable price & 100x sales

16/ absolutely ! The files are already uploaded at Amazon; I'm just not turning it on until KS backers have their copies (I don't want to be unfair to folks who paid up front and let randos order later and take delivery sooner).https://twitter.com/TheBigGayAl/status/1386331166291136515 …

18/ hmmm ... giving more thought to doing logistics myself talked to local USPS and they'll send a truck out to load up would be sorta hilarious to take delivery of 3,000 books and set up an assembly line in the garage

Replying to @MorlockP
I'm in CT; would be happy to help on a given day. No matter how bad it went we could take solace from the fact that it was still better than being in Ithaca.

If it'd help I'd be fine picking mine up in person but uh don't think you want to be managing a shipping warehouse on top of everything
