I've got prices!! I finally got to talk to my MPLAT salesman and I got pricing on my first 10 Flash Phones and the following 100.

First 10 US$22.00 each = $220.00 + $70 shipping = US$290
Following 100 US$19.10 each = $1910 + $150 shipping = US$2060

The $290 will be easy. It'll cost me about 1/2 a weeks pay. The $2060's a little steep for my pocket book, but once I get the first 10 sold and delivered I should have more than enough confidence in my market to make that kind of investment.

I'll be working on pricing of various products over the next few days. I'll be posting them when I'm done. I've already got most of the pricing for the Flash Phone figured out.

Here's the transcript of my chat with the MPLAT salesman:

[11:01:30 AM] Aaron deOliveira says: i'll place the order for 10 when i get the first one

[11:01:39 AM] Aaron deOliveira says: so i can just get on skype and just order with you?

[11:02:09 AM] mplatsales says: No. you may send the email to sales@mplat.com , one salesman will contact you.

[11:03:45 AM] Aaron deOliveira says: that's a good prifce

[11:03:46 AM] Aaron deOliveira says: price

[11:03:57 AM] Aaron deOliveira says: so why do you sell them for $55 individually?

[11:04:22 AM] mplatsales says: The price is FOB china price, you need pay the delivery fee.

[11:04:37 AM] Aaron deOliveira says: how much is shipping?

[11:04:49 AM] mplatsales says: So, the 100unit delivery fee will be USD150.00

[11:05:14 AM] mplatsales says: No other handle fee, or extra fee for this .

[11:05:46 AM] mplatsales says: So you may get the profit from the shipping cost for end user when you sell it at USA

[11:06:03 AM] Aaron deOliveira says: so the total cost for 100 is 1910 + 150 = 2250?
