Hey everybody. Glad I came across this site as it seems to have a lot of good info. Anyway I swear when I am looking at sites like Alibaba, DHgate, etc. I am seeing retail prices.I mean $10-$15 for a digital spoon with a MOQ of 50? I wish it had a thermometer so I could tell them where to stick it

    One of the biggest problems with those sites is that they list countless wholesalers and traders masquerading as manufacturers.

    For absolutely lowest prices you must go direct to the manufacturers. After all, that is where those traders and wholesalers buy before adding their huge margins before trying to sell to you.

    Prices are higher on Aliexpress, but the MOQ is usually 1. That is because Aliexpress is a retail site.

    I teach how to find genuine manufacturers and how to negotiate smaller orders. Big MOQs are only there to discourage newbies because they regard them as a nuisance.
