I think if they offer an expensive ICO price then the ICO's supply will be lower. It will always be balanced. And with the status now after being listed in exchange, the price is always lower than the ICO price. Because investors and bounty hunters will sell all of them

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.

They are which is why you see that the money that they are going for are always very high. Once they have better strategies like you said then they would not be using os much but then again, it could be intentional that they are doing that just so that they can have an excuse to try to raise higher amounts of money

The price of the ICO tokens after listing on exchanges is below the ICO price because there are many bounty hunters dump their token after they received the tokens from bounty, it makes the price fall. After 2-3 months, the price will be back to ICO price IF the project make a new or big update about the project.

The reason for the price dump is their investors who want to immediately sell their coins after listed on exchanges because they got bonus tokens so they even sell below the market prices so if you knows that it is potential project the the price will increase again so hold until that.

ICOs cannot be termed to be generally expensive considering the fact that all ICOs are not similar in their operations. While others are expensive, some are not. But the problem remains that, most project developers nowadays don't buy back some of these tokens thus leading to a massive dump on the price.

It is true that the price of a token when exchanged is cheaper than at the time of ico, it could somehow be the case, but there were also many investors who bought the token at ico. maybe it is part of the strategy when investing in ico.

The price of some ICO is 2-3 times lower than the ICO price is understandable when the whole market is quite gloomy. Deepening of liquidity due to Bitcoin's move is not clear. This is probably the time to hold long

Price of token when ICO is very cheap and the price was going down because low demand in the market, although the team developer set the price when on ICO to lowest price of ETH like 0.00000001 will be not going up if there no demand. The fundamental of the project also will become factor the demand will increase or not.

ICOs are not expensive in my own experience, some ICOs may be offering you a lot of expenses, however I don't think that all ICOs do this kind of thing, some ICOs are scams and some are definitely reliable, based on my experience last 2017, I invested on 2 ICOs and they didn't let me down, I earned a decent profit and was glad I did not get scammed.

I don't think so.
Have you noticed now more ICOs have token price under 1 cent, and also have huge supply as 1 billion total supply for token now is a common thing.
my assume is those presale and private sale investor dump their token coz they get token under ICO price

I have been waiting to buy into ICO's in 2018 as well.  It's not like the gold days of 2016.  If you like a project wait for it to ICO, then crash.  Buy in a few weeks after the launch.  I have had great success with this strategy.   

I've only investing in one ICO in 2018, and they too didn't do well in the exchange. The coins are almost becoming dust in my wallet. Just like you, buying when they tank at the exchange has been renewed strategy and it's working for me

I have a problem with ICOs requesting ridiculous amounts in both their softcap and hardcap. Personally believe a project should not be asking for more than between $15,000 - $20,000. They end up making so much for themselves while their tokens stand a huge chance of tanking upon listing on exchange

They are expensive, after all, the team behind the project doesn't want you to spend just a few pennies when there is a lot of tokens to give.

On the contrary, i don't think ICOs are too expensive but rather i see it as the best level to make an investment. Though some tokens might be too expensive to acquire during ICO, but it still present its value low as compared to what it would be after ICO. Most ICOs are scams, no doubt, but you have to invest in the ones that has potentials.

I'd say the timing of the ICO release is the main problem. Releasing an ICO in this Bear market has and will make it almost certain for a lower trading price than the ICO cost. Its easier to hype a non existent coin as an "idea" than selling a coin after the release.

I don't think ICO's are expensive.

I don't think investor who bought an ICOs at a specific price would want to sell at that same price or lower.

The bonuses for private sale, pre-sale, airdrop if any and bounty play a part to the price of the token.

The private/pre sale investors who received bonus during the sale are selling off the bonuses to get their capital back at least.

Also, ICO with good fundamentals would go high and there would be a lot of people waiting to get some on the exchange.

Mostly, if the project is good they set an expensive price for their project but after seeing those coin on the exchange the price suddenly drops below the ICO price. So if the ICO are too expensive, better wait for that token on the exchange because the price will surely dump, even if its a good project.

it depends on what ico, you may look on some ico which has good projects and find it cheap
but sometimes expensive one has good profits , i remember an ico before that give us high returns
and change me and my buddy's lives we almost can't afford it but we try to buy few pieces
and turn out to be a good pick, sometimes you need to check first if they have solid projects and
people around them that will be a game changer
