Analog Toys is gaslighting...again...

Well, not much to describe. The video should contain all the information needed.
Addendum: I thought this was self-explanatory, but boy, I was wrong. People only hear "donation" and "500$", and think that's the salient point. The actual nub of the matter is the whole schmear around it, i.E. the trip to Bali. It is just as James Spader stated in "Age of Ultron: "Always scratching the surface, but never think to look within."

    This is why i just want to pay for something and not feel like i owe someone if they gift me an item. A $500 donation to help people in need is better than a no donation. If you feel its not enough, donate something. You feel better and the charity wins.

    According to my tax advisor this particular donation is 100% tax deductible. Yes, you are right. There are certain criteria, like …I assume… NGOs, overseas projects, or private funds, where you can‘t deduct all the money, or maybe even nothing, but in this case it‘s doable. Thank you for your hint, though.

    I have mixed feelings about Analog Toys, and I won't defend him in every instance, but I don't see the issue here. The person who sent him the prototype asked him to make a donation that he can afford, and he did. Even if it is tax deductible and he will get that back, depending on the turn around time and the funds that he currently has available after taking the trip that he mentioned (or what his expenses are in general, even for what he earns) for all we know, money could be tight for him at the moment, and donating more now, even if he will get the money back, could be an issue in the meantime. And even if money isn't tight for him, how much should he donate? How much would a prototype like this cost under normal sale conditions? A few hundred bucks? That's what he donated. The bottom line is that the person sending him the toy made a request of him, and he kept his end of it. The person did not ask for a minimum donation, left it to his discretion, and he did what he was asked. And it's not like he only donated $20 or something. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

    @Futuredynamo Regarding the value of the Prototype, I‘d assume it is worth more than AU$500, resp. ~US$340. Maybe not as much as a Boba Fett Prototype, which can go for 5 or 6 figures, but still a lot. Yet, that‘s not the issue. The issue is this being misplaced self-praise. Thanking Bob for the Prototype is not the issue. Yes, he can promote making donations to certain organisations. But making a big deal out of a „deed“, which - again - requires no effort, financially or otherwise, is preposterous. The purpose of his vid is pure self-promotion. But I guess, when it comes to acquiring 100,000 subs, anything goes, right?

    Tony was probably very put out to have any requirements placed on him at all. He is used to just having to pretend he's about to cry when you send him free collectibles. I have to agree that he loves pats on the back, it would be sufficient to simply say, yes, I will be making a donation. You don't have pretend it was a hardship to justify an amount, nor show the receipts to anyone. If you have true integrity there is no need to prove it.

    @lazylefthand Now first, Tony and myself, each donated 500$. However, when it came to „The little extra to cover fees“, he was only willing to put in 1$, while 20$ are preset. Why being generous first, but then being cheap on the last yard? Very odd! But this is not about numbers in the first place. Regarding your second question, this is the one you should ask him. I only pointed out, that those donations are tax deductible, and I am 100% certain he will, or already has done. I will for sure write it off my tax (as I do it regularly) for the very reason I have explained. Again, I only clarified that there is no effort in this, as donations are a way to allocate your money to specific causes instead of giving it to the taxman. Lastly, I’d like to remind you of what I said at the end of my vid. If you defend Tony in this matter, please start your comment with „I enjoy being deceived.“ Because if you think that he does NOT write it off his tax, you ARE being naive. The reason why he makes a huge thing out of it in his video is to dupe people, such as yourself. Accusing me of hypocrisy only shows that you did either not listen carefully, or you only heard what you wanted to hear. Analysis comes before interpretation, though.
