Or, you could offer them for sale here (maybe using Gumroad for payment) to see what it does? I would LOVE to purchase a copy. Wondering why you're considering selling them for a low price? It's not like they're mouldy or outdated are they?
Is there a reason you want to sell via Kickstarter vs. directly? In my experience, people come on board partially to make a dream happen, because without the full funding, the project will not be realized. (I’ve done two successful Kickstarters.) If the idea is to use the campaign to create buzz and urgency, perhaps think about other ways to do outreach so that you get enough people sharing your message. Either way - I’m interested in your book. Who can resist love? So put me on your list.
I'm just a crowdfunding afficionado! :D I really like the buzz of a campaign, and am very interested in what all the different platforms have to offer. After years of experience on Voordekunst, I'm eager to make the leap to crowdfunding internationally, and Kickstarter just seems the right place. I like the different options to do campaigns, the layouts, the seniority and reliability of KS - and how you can look up campaigns after they're done. I would not be able to have that when I sell directly.
I can see that. There’s a big comics community on Kickstarter. What would be the justification for your financial goal if the books are already printed? Brings up some good questions. Maybe Brad G has some advice.
I've done that for years! Not just small press, but the big ones like TCAF and Bethesda. To be honest: it's a lot of hassle and expense for very small sales.
My vote: Do the Kickstarter (it will increase your sales), sell at full price (small discount for paying patrons). I will buy. You can always sell what little is left at a discount later. (Also, if you're not already doing this, listen to the ComicLab podcast, they've done a lot of kickstarter advice)
I wish I could by some of it Margreet ,But with my health so bad can't afford anything . Your art is amazing and well thought out .If you lived in upstate Ny ,I would say buy a booth and sell from it at lilac festival and shoe string art gallery . My mom dated a guy that thought he could draw he couldn't yet he sold stuff at both . hugs and great work . I am happy you found your love
Now that is what I call a waste...all those boxes. As you know I have a free library and happily put them in. It would be nice to have a copy in the museum of comic art. And yes, I'll happily buy a copy for myself and one to give away too, or two. BTW I love your video about the history of mariage. Maybe I can take a few along to 'stripbeurzen' and sell them in my museum stand, with a percentage for the museum.

I'm actually talking to him soon! I bought a comics consultation especially for this!
Ooh! Tell me how it goes! And let me know if you’d like to meet up in Amsterdam one day to chat about this or anything else.
Why not go to some small press/zine expos and sell them for cheap and have some good times and make friends while you're there?

There must be a home for your books somewhere.
Or you could sow them....we could use the fruits!
But first of all: we want such a mother!
Nu heb ik in de poll nee gezegd maar alleen maar omdat ik het boek al heb!
Anders zou ik zeker op ja hebben gestemd.

I love ComicLab! I'm relistening all their Kickstarter advice now.
