It also depends where you live. In my case, if I become a sponsor of
a product in the US or Europe sold via indiegogo, I'll have to pay
the import tax an/or VAT of the country of shipment (indirectly but
it's added in Indiegogo) + the import and VAT tax in my own country.
Double whammy!<br>
<br>
Whereas if I buy from China, I've seldom have to pay any taxes
because of the lower price (below a threshold there is no tax to
pay) and some Chinese companies can be extremely cooperative...<br>

in our tax forms for the devices we buy from China ;) The prices
are not that different if you take the legal stuff into account.
