Good luck. Any bank will expect you to have a fully fleshed out business plan. As I keep telling you, even a successful group buy set only sells a couple of thousand. Where are you going to get the evidence that convinces a bank to lend you enough money to make more than that considering that's all they seem to sell? [edit: Many barely scrape though the MOQ limit]

>I myself will NEVER EVER take part in a group buy again

Good for you. Then just ignore group buys instead of railing against them. If you have no intention of using them again, what difference does it make to you if they exist or not?

honestly I have 2-3 sets of caps and this is almost my end game since I'm very happy with the look now. I think this set is worth it so grab one while it's still in stock. I think coffee-themed caps are rare and this set is probably one of a kind.

Did I not say “take out a business loan”? In one of my posts? That is where I would get the money from if I wanted to make a set.

How many people do you think get burnt off of buying sets from having to wait way over the estimated time? I myself will NEVER EVER take part in a group buy again, and I am sure that there are others. You can’t rely on people like OP who just sink money into it with nothing to show

There are other businesses sell things in stock for hobbies that have less interest than keyboards.

If it isn’t worth the risk to make it, then it shouldn’t be made.
