As others mentioned MOQ really doesn't mean a whole lot. Many supplier just put large amounts so they can justify the jacked up final price. My startup capital was whatever I could fit onto my cc. First orders were a few hundred, grew to a few thousand, now in the tens of thousands per order. I personally have just thrown almost all the profits back into more inventory. I'm getting ahead of the game for Christmas this year. (Hopefully)I actually read through all of the pages so I know this hasn't been asked....
I understand the request for a sample to "test" quality from a supplier. However you guys then talk about going back and ordering 50-100 from them. Do they not expect you to adhere to their MOQ after the "sample"?
What type of startup capital are you guys using?
Seems like you need to have/find a few products to get the ball rolling. Then use additional capital to add more products. Obviously you don't want to buy large quantities until things are moving.
