Yekutiel Sherman invented a selfie stick that collapses into a smartphone case. He launched the project on Kickstater. Chinese manufacturers were selling it on Ali Express before Sherman's funding window closed.
From Fresh as Fuck:
Sherman was shocked to realize that the vendors were selling the exact copy of his product. Worse, they priced them for as low as $8 each, while his product was set at $47.41.
As a result, Sherman’s backers went into backlash, accusing him of cheating on pricing. The project, however, was able to raise $43,000 from their initial goal of $40,600 goal.
