so you need to bring in to us at no more
than less than $2. We'll mark up 1 1/2 times cost, and sell at no more than
$5. If you can have it made for $1, double the price for yourself to $2, and
sell to us for $4-$5. Get back to us.


***These numbers are contradictory...you must mean sell it to them for $2.00
so they can sell it from $4-5, right?****

The were extremely friendly ladies; we both laughed during the conversations.
But very business savvy.

**** You bet they are, but I doubt you can get your item made for $1, landed
cost. So you need to look at what upscale, up-market stores would sell such
an item***

So, John, how do I find out if this item is feasible to make?

Thanks for your help.
