[QUOTE="SigmaOne, post: 6460758, member: 6748799"] Well this is typically how kickstarters work -- while the price for the product may ultimately be cheaper than it would be after kickstarting, the "perks" are by necessity far cheaper to produce than what people pay to get those levels. They aren't products that you're buying. After all, they're supposed to spur additional funding. They're cool little things that are fun to have for people who are interested. Anyway, at least you should only rate the price of the doll itself at $80, given that this is the bump from the same tier level without the doll. Well, that's about what a person donates to NPR for a coffee mug or a couple of tote bags, so it's not far off from what you'd expect for compensation. Also, she'll only have to enjoy making up to 50 of them, since that's the limit of the pledge level. So, it seems she's at least thought out how many she's willing to make and how much she feels the kickstarter should be compensated for her efforts. [/QUOTE]
