what makes ICO expensive is because after listing on the market, the price drops
so investors feel sorry when they invest in certain ICOs
but within the next few weeks there are even cheaper prices

I think one of the reasons why ICOs are pretty expensive lately is a direct reaction to the bearish market.
Since there isn't that much volume and ICO investment going on, ICOs are worried they won't get as many investors.
So, to make up the money, they mark up their token.

Yeah, that is a terrible business move that doom the ICO before it even becomes official.
Last year, ICO prices were almost always around one cent to 5 cents.
Rarely, you will see one over that but the supply of coins would be much lower.

Now, it is common to see one dollar coins even at presale prices.
There's a reason why the ICO market has crashed and a lot of it has to do with startups making horrible decisions regarding their fundraising.

But, in the long run, I want the ICO craze to stabalize so a good crash will weed out a lot of the terrible ICOs so in the long run, we win.

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.
not all of them are unbearably expensive but some ofnthem are of course i think that the prices will only rise in the future
Rather than starting from the cheap price and it doesn't make sense to see there was a lot of icos are putting expensive price for each of coin just like token pay and another ico. they have been putting more than $1 for each token and does it make sense to you? for me that's not. Rise or not depend on the result of their development progress.

Definately ICOs are too expensive in crypto because when the ICO does not complete and you don't get success till then you can nothing, you have to wait the ICO success and and listed for coin in a market which could you invest and earn profit.

The price of a token on ICO must be conditioned by something, it isn't just assigned based on the current market realities. The price is formed out of the token functionality.Another factor that affects the price − the uniqueness. The more interesting the project will be and depending on how urgent the problem it intends to solve — the more popularity from investor side will be. The project, which doesn't offer anything new, will simply die out and the price of the token even in 1 Satoshi will hardly save it.

I mean the token price is kinda irrelevant, their hard cap/total supply has much higher significance. But I agree with this sentiment, they should take into account the current market conditions and lower their funding goals.

When is bear market often more cheap to buy coins after ICO on the exchanges
Even good coin is dip
Exchange price seem to be cheaper even for the good coins as you said, i guess that is the major reasons projects are finding it difficult to raise cash through ICOs

Yes. I also think than on market like now should be more careful with investments in ICO

Well, if ICO is good then it is explainable, development costs a lot. You talk about professionals in the sphere where there really paid top dollar. I found good project, called OSA DC, think that it is a good project to invest in!
Agree. I also invested in this project, there is good team.

Should we say that they are too expensive? Even if their prices are so low, they will still like sell below ICO price after listing, because market dictates price.

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.
Some project teams really ignore advertising soon after they get their tokens listed, and over time, they loose their community as new persons are not joining

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 all the new icos are too expensive because most of the team only care about their own purse and this is why at the end of the day the price dip of all this new projects is always huge
