Of course. We completely understand. :)
The issue of traditional publishing was brought up because it goes hand in hand with the reward pricing. Our goal is to get funded in such a way where we don't have to move towards the traditional publishing model. The issue is on our minds right now and isn't anything anyone here specifically brought up.
Most Kickstarters set their reward tiers in such a way as to reward individuals who wish to support a project with more than just the bare minimum of funding. That's why if someone looks at a Kickstarter project with only the intent of purchasing a product, then yes, I agree the majority of Kickstarter rewards are overpriced.
However, if a backer approaches a Kickstarter page with the intent of supporting a project, instead of purchasing a product, then it isn't a matter of a reward being overpriced as much a backer giving as much as they're comfortable with to help a project reach fruition. That backer is just simply receiving a reward for the amount of support they wish to provide a project with. That said, thank you for taking the time to look through our page and offer us feedback.
Though I'm a little confused regarding the autograph...
The autographed copy of the Asylum 33D paperback is set at $25 and not the $60 you mentioned. Our $60 reward will be a custom print of the book with a customized note to the backer and will include a number of unique Asylum 33D stickers exclusive to that tier. These books will not be mass produced and as such the cost to print them will increase. That's a lot more than what I've most Kickstater such projects do although I could be wrong.
