I tried to listen to the community and have set the next stretch goal to upgrade printers to EPCC. Hopefully the community then consider the price tag well worth it and will come together to help us reach that stretch goal.portcullis wrote:*agrees with Adonael in Australian*
The $80-$85 price point in toto for a single deck like this, from an artist with no track record, despite the fact I really do like the other artwork is just ...
$50-$60 I'd start to be thinking about it. $40-$50 and I'd probably buy it.
But yeah charging near enough to $40 shipping on a $45 deck ....... poor form.
But as for reputation, how does one create more respect/admiration within the playing card industry (even if you have a large and diverse portfolio of work outside of it)? It is just engagement and time?
It's perhaps not the best comparison given you're on Kickstarter and Dustin isn't - and probably slightly OT - but if we consider what you're offering in your campaign, I could have 3 of your decks and still be $10 short for one of Dustin's.
