Stores and resellers were not purchasing from indiegogo yesterday. There
might have been one or two, but that's simply not what happened. This whole
campaign is all about individuals buying these phones. I don't want to see
this campaign fail anymore than you do. People will either buy them at
$830, or they won't.

For Stores and resellers, 40k limited time phones is not that much if you got them, but they don't want to pay full price, because they need to make some returns, so they need now perks that give them discounts for a higher quantity purchase.
