If I had an iPhone, this would be right up my alley, but I don't. Anyways, when I went to the product site, something didn't seem consistant. (https://elevationdocks.herokuapp.com/)
If you scroll down the page a little, you say something along the lines of "help us fund our next product" vs "pre-order"(in the headline). If your real goal is to muster up some money for new product dev, say that in your headline! I would be more apt to give you extra money in your name your price offer if it was more clear that this was explicitly going toward future product development vs just a pre-order. I know the money ends up in the same place either way, but I hope you get my drift.

There are no duplicate charges. The invalid token is an error produced on the processing side. You are all good. Let us know if there are any other concerns.
This is definitely a creative way to resell products but are you taking the profits that should goto the person that is actually trying to create the product?
We'd like to think that by funding the original Kickstarter campaign at such a high level, we helped make it possible for the product to be made in the first place. I'm certain that the project's owner is still going to make money on our units too.

Great idea, and it's nice to see you experimenting with different models for gauging interest & setting pricing.
