Maximum Time good ICO team do the huge funds as a investment and make the payment together in the market well. So I suggest you to have the work goes well with the best ICO if you want to invest.ICO with good fundamentals would go high and there would be a lot of people waiting to get some on the exchange

Yes, I think that they should make the price more reasonable especially this bear market that projects are taking a beating from the bears. I also believe that they can lower expenses but maybe they are just used to knowing how easy it is to conduct an ICO so they don't mind the expenses that much. However not all are practicing this in my little observation.

I would not say ICO is too expensive right now, compared to few years ago, when ICO is not as popular as now, the majority of ICO cost $1-2 for a single token and the minimum investment is around $300-$800. When ICO funding gaining popularity, and this year there are tons of ICO, I see a lot of very very cheap ICO, some are 0,1$ or even less than that. And the minimum investment also reduced in most of ICO, now with only $100 you can invest, even some ICOs have minimum investment of $50. Moreover they always gives much bonus and special offer.

Icos maybe or maybe not expensive, depending on the strategy/plan setup for its promoting. A lot  of persons believe that the success of an iCO depends on how much funds the team puts in it, while some have contrary opinions. I think that regardless of what amount you have for your ICO, with proper planning a,d strategies, it would be a success.

Ethereum is still one of the best blockchain we have and the ICO did not cost as much as a lot of Blockchain projects will cost this days.
It is a ripoff for projects to be asking for as much $35-50 million on a Blockchain project.. I also heard of ICOs that reduced their hard cap mostly due to complains of how high it is, what this points out is that a lot of projects team and managers who have become greedy and ask for astronomical figures as their hardcap.

Here is something I have observed as regard ICOs raising funds and why many are trading at below ICO price soon after listing on exchanges. The reason could well be the fact that project teams are making ICO tokens too expensive, almost at same level with what we had at the bullish market.Meanwhile,the market is now 25% of its usually market.
Project teams implement better funds management strategies, avoid wastages and unnecessary  expense and thus have a cheaper ICO, I personally believe that they can reduce their expense by at least 50 percent and thus ask for less, cheaper tokens as such, that way, investors will be better make returns on their investments.

Your offer isn't pointless. This approach may be good for some projects, but it won't change the market for the better! The ICO market depends only on expectations, justifications, and promises! The reckoning will be even crueler than everybody thinks!

Public ICO as a way of collecting money is dead now! Only those projects, which attract large funds and have collected fiat money (USD, EUR, etc), will survive! Today's market may be changed only in a revolutionary way!

The point here is not the cost of purchasing an ICO but the underline condition of cryptocurrency market. The negative sentiment in the market is affecting everything. People just sell to prevailing sentiments!
Guys, do you know for ideal ICO prices
(So it was an extraordinary project outside or very good)

I think the public now smart to choose contribution in ICO. because now more ICO  up with WP, technical, as well as its implementation is bad so the look of the website

This is pretty true everything that you have stated, but trust me if you go for altcoins, this shall not happen at all. You just have to be sure that the coins are safe. Go for XRP, EOS, PRG etc.

Well, most of the concern for many projects is how they're going to grow their user, client or investor base. The blockchain industry is definitely an advertising heavy industry, I think that it's quite necessary to have a reasonable marketing budget otherwise client onboarding with be quite difficult. That being said, a lot of these projects are requesting unbelievable soft caps, typically requiring up to $10m to build often relatively simple products.... Very poor money management going on, as VERY few softwares cost $10m to build.
ICO today is not actually expensive its just that the price of bitcoin and ethereum is dumped meaning the lower price of these coins the higher target of some ICOs want to reach. Theyre raising their target because the price is not that good today. Its a good thing because if that investment come along and the prices rises up. Your money will be double up

and in my opinion, ICO prices too high because well where a developer to listing token I think they exist certain price which could be a major early investors opportunities to sell back (but, subject to the holder investor types exist long term) and the timing side there are certain price and lock it up all well enough for investors to sell back over 1 month after the release will be seen at point of token value

But if the communities no support a project, no active users, plan developer in the future and too slow realization I think their project nothing see new an investor

I think the word you are looking for is not expensive but rarther, overrated or overvalued in comparison to its actual or intrinsict value. Especially that there are some coins out there which are really worthless.

This is one of the reasons why I and other investors prefer to buy their token when they hit the exchange, they are 50% much lower than their ICO price, you are going to lose your portfolio, bounty hunters are also dumping their bounty making the price very low and people losing trust on the project.

I know the price usually matter for an investor but considering if such ICO is a legitimate one and can assure to give good return of investment, then I would say go for it. The bottom line is that you had not invested on a scam ICO where most of the other investor's had been a victim for such scam projects. Nowadays, legit ICO's are hard to find if you never do your thing to make some background check if such ICO has a potential to hit in the crypto market in terms of pre token sale. It would be great that after the token sale, the ICO token will be seen in the exchange sites such as DDEX, IDEX and other great sites like CMC.

That's not true. ICO is extremely cheap if it succeeds, because when you buy the ICO's price and when it succeeds, its price is x10 or x100, so great is not it. If you think the ICO price is too expensive then you can refer to Buddy's project and consider its ICO price.

In this bear market ICOs are having a tough time to raise funds for their projects. This is why no sooner it lists on the exchange people exchange it for Bitcoin or Ethereum and then the token price dives down. Many ICOs have paused their token sales due to this reason.

indeed fund management is an important thing in an ico, if the developer is not smart in planning, their project will not develop. but the developer must be able to anticipate the price of the token that falls when the token is listed on the exchange, because of the large dump that occurs.
