I would need someone that has run a KS to confirm but I am betting 6% is MORE then the average profit on a TTRPG KS, but not more then the MOST profit on a TTRPG KSRemember that what you pay retail is not what the wholesalers at Amazon or FLGS pay... they get a 40-55% discount, so a $50 book to you may only be getting the publisher $25-$30 having to increase that by 6% doesn't sound SO bad until you see the ripples...lets say I sell to your FLGS for $30 and to amazon for $25 (bulk diffrence) I now need to add 6% and that is $1.80 so the store now pays $32 and amazon pays $27 that means the new price to YOU is $52 at the store or $40 at amazon instead of $50 or $38</blockquote>
