What do you think of this?
We would love to get your feedback on this project. It's a cause driven e-commerce platform. Think kickstarter meets amazon, but for cool stuff. Essentially you find something you like and pre-order it, once the item has hit a number of pre-orders the item goes on sale and for each purchase of that item some of the sales go to a goal towards a cause. It's a dead simple idea, but we are not entirely sure if it has been done right so were giving it a shot.
Here is our first project, some cool cufflinks that will help fund Oakland CA schools.

We would love your feedback and ways we could improve this. The idea sounds pretty cool, you should make the "uncertainty" of the purchase clearer. I would also drop the word "preorder" and use a different word. Also you should consider displaying how many purchases more are required for the product to become available for sale, that might get your users to push for a product a bit more in their social circles. Good luck with it! Heelhook - nice idea. What are some verbs that you'd replace with "Pre-Order" that would encourage action. For exmaple: "Get One"
"Support" I've submitted a new post to field some ideas: Thanks Heelhook for the great feedback. Interesting. Where do the items come from? Donated? Absolutely love the charity or good cause aspect. Hey Hansy, the items are new or vintage items that come from their creators/brands, not necessarily donated. You could even go as far as to imagining ordering a baked pie for example that could either be delivered or shipped to you and part of the proceeds goes to a great cause. The types of items are either consumable or e-commerce goods.
