Would there be an interest in production of crowdfunding physical items? If such things are produced, what sort of margin, if any, on those items, would be acceptable?
I have a block of time in the next couple days during which I am putting together physical products for a couple other places, and it would be pretty straightforward to do so for this community if there's a desire for it.
Of note: A margin on such a product is the percentage of total cost of a given item that the artist/producer makes on purchase of said product. Anyone who did this and set a margin would make money if the products sold. I tend to think it's useful to have good looking community related things, but am perfectly aware that part of my interest in designing such would be self-interest, and want to be sure that's in keeping with what people here would expect before I invest the time on such products.
If it were a go, I'd then do a followup post asking what sorts of products, product art, and so forth the community would be interested in.
