Ask HN: Alternatives to Kickstarter?

Don't forget it's 5%, not 50%. That means $50 will become $52.5. Not a big deal.

Indiegogo is also hugely popular. They charge 4%.

Thanks for the suggestion about Indiegogo. I guess I'm just not very in the loop. Too old or something ;-)

I realize 5% isn't that much, and I have seen enough projects fail due to penny pinching that I want to allocate value as value deserves. But for my margins, 5% of $70 is $3.50 -- the same cost as my entire case... I'm just nervous about it being quite tight while feeling like I'm already at the ceiling of what I can ask for in price.
