Dear Friend !
Let say cost me to produce 5" cut skirt for 4 cent then sell to Dist 7 cents
for a quantity of 10,000,000/year.They going to sell to these dealer for
16 cents in the quantity of 10,000,dealer sell to you for 34 cents in the lot
of 50 or 100 skirt.So the high price not from the manufacture but cost
of marketing.I do have same idea as you are 15 years ago,but we may have just a small group and that can't support the business.If you planning
to produce cut skirt in the US i bet the cost will be sky high (9 to 10 cent )
is not a good venture.
