It costs about $5 in China.In fact, I have always been troubled by the price problem, because different countries have different purchasing power of money.Do you have any ideas? Please let me know.

I believe he was being frank and not sarcastic. In this day and age, $11 for a limited run custom deck is great :)

when i first had interest in kingstar decks, they were above average on price. i think mainly because they were kind of rare and through resellers. i found a couple of resellers that had better pricing more inline with what a deck with comparable features were.

regardless of what one thinks of the art, a deck like this with matte stock and foil on the tuck (no embossing though) is usually around $18 these days. it used to be $15 until the last year? 2 years? while i will take prices as low as possible please, i think $11 for this is a great price. especially considering i really like the art and design.

the 2 kickstarters have been good pricing as well, imo, for the box sets. full featured cards and tucks, collectors box (which i normally do not get) for around $40. happy to see you guys doing kickstarters and having a bigger presence in the US and being more available.

Yes, I want to know some opinions about the price, because we will have a lot of decks on sale at kickstarter later.Because most people in China can't use kickstarter, they will be sold for the second time in China.So it involves international and China pricing. Just like this deck, it is most suitable to sell in China for 5 dollars. If the price is higher, some people may not buy it.

I think 'great' translating as large/big/high is causing confusion here

Both $11 and $5 are low prices that most people will find well within their budget. Especially if you have them as addons as you have been doing with your recent kickstarters a large number of people would probably add them on without much second thought.
