dvorcolIf I can as a possibly stoopid question...
What is the difference between total kits and purchased?
Also what is the difference between the sum of kits sold in the drop and update and Massdrops official 8,234 Sold number. I added up the number sold for each kit in the drop update and only came up with 6,537 kits sold.
fer.realPurchased is how many set orders are placed. A set order can contain more than one kit, hence why Total kits is always greater than Purchased.
Massdrop's Purchased number used to be just the purchases for the current live drop. But on 4/13 they changed to including all past drop Purchases as well. This is Round 3 of SA Pulse. I estimated that R1 + R2 Purchases were 3080 before R3 went live, so I have been subtracting that from Massdrop's Purchased number starting 4/13.
Like you, I also calculate that 6537 is the kit total from Massdrop's latest spreadsheet, which is what is in the top left graph on the first page of History.
dvorcolAh, now it make sense.
I had been using the number of kits sold in 4/26 sheet to try and predict which kits would drop based on Massdrop's purchased number. I thought that Massdrop's purchased number was the number of kits sold this drop and the 4/29 spreadsheet would add up to something close to, but less than, the purchased number. Needless to say, my predictions were a bit off.
