# The $1 reserve is not the price of Luna

Refundable $1 holds your place. Kickstarter is about $499\. They are not the same payment.

## Two different payments

People on reservation calls often ask whether the dollar is a discount, a deposit, or the whole product. It is none of those.

## What the $1 does

The $1 is a refundable reservation. It holds your place for Luna, includes the starlight box and six months of Samantha when you follow through, and comes back if you reply to your receipt — any day, any reason.

## What Kickstarter is for

Luna’s full pledge is on Kickstarter at about $499 when the campaign opens. Shipping is expected in spring 2027\. The reservation is how we know who wants one before that pledge page exists.

## What you are not buying today

You are not buying a shipped pendant for a dollar. You are not locked into Kickstarter. You can walk away and take the dollar back.

## Why we ask for a card at all

A free waitlist fills with curiosity. A refundable dollar is a light filter so we can text real people when Kickstarter opens, and so founders can answer questions from people who actually intend to reserve.

## The short version for a call

$1 now, refundable. Kickstarter later at about $499\. Starlight box and six months of Samantha with the reservation path. Ship spring 2027\. [Reserve here](/#rsv-card) if that is what you meant to do.
