First time creating my own product to sell on Amazon

[DarrenW]

After a few days of no response, the manufacturer finally got back to me...

I was able to talk them down on the price. And now, instead of $1.99/unit, it is now $1.88. Not a big difference, but I'll take it.

I've also asked the manufacturer @OldFaithful question from before, "How many parts can be produced from the large mold before it will need to be replaced?"

Here was their answer:

"For silicone parts, one production procedure is estimated to produce around 15pcs or maybe more. It will be knew after mold making finished."

Not a definite answer, but it seems to me like a single-cavity mold. I could be wrong. Thoughts?

But despite whatever it is, I think I'm ready to pull the trigger and place the order. We got all the details down and they seem to understand exactly what I want.

I will be asking for their PayPal info in my next email.

Will keep this updated!
