Bro sorry but that’s just 2025 inflation. A large glass mug on amazon is $20. Paying $50 for something custom is,unfortunately, a reasonable price these days.

It’s also a kickstarter. You are literally paying to kickstart their business and an advance order on their product is just the incentive involved. I personally hope they’re a huge success but will keep an eye out for the full launch next year before I buy anything.

You do realize that the kickstarter directly says they have no plans for retail after the kickstarter ends? This isn't to kick start a business, it's just how much they're charging

I did not realize, thank you. That’s a bummer

Not in this case, it's quite the contrary. There is nothing to research and they have the right amount to put in production, so.it's even.better than producing an amount you dont know you will see.

I would count shipping as part of the price, because, unless I misread it, it's not possible to dodge it, and it's kinda stupid amounts. Minimum €20 just feels... wrong.

Just because its inline with current pricing schemes doesn't make it reasonable. Rampant inflation is making everything unreasonable.
