Why do I feel like Ralph Kramden/Fred Flintstone at times? :=/
Like those two fictional characters I have ideas to make money, though not as pie in the sky as Ralph or Fred. And like them my ideas seem to fall apart, even though I'm doing my best to make it work.
Latest example is the card game. I received the cost, to me, per deck for the game.
I hope you are sitting down:
100 decks @ $18.00 each
250 decks @ $14.00 each
Freight is extra.
I had thought the game would cost me between $8 an $10 per deck. I was going to wholesale them at $12 and retail them at $20 per deck so the retailer could make his 40%. To do the same thing now the game would run ~$27 per deck retail, and there is no way anyone is going to pay that price for a card game. :={
I'm still going to have the 25 demo decks made and get 100 production decks made, but I cannot put them into stores and make a profit.
Kickstarter was a bust; partially my fault, but I'm going to give Indegogo a try and see if I can raise some money that way to buy more decks to keep my costs down.
In other news the paper work to make Lion Games, LLC has been sent to the State of Mass Confusion ,,,, er, New Jersey. I did a quick check and there is still no company called Lion Games officially registered in NJ.
