Hello Cyber buddies PLEASE, I need your expert help!! I have many ideas for Products to be manufactured, to bring to market, but I'm hitting all kinds of snags. I went to Alibaba.com for manufacturers, and every company I contacted in China wants a $7,000.00 to $10,000.00 minimum order, which I do not have. When I request less of a minimum, they tack on xtra processing fees which makes the cost of the finished product too expensive for me to make a profit. I would really appreciate a better idea, if anyone has one. Thank you so much for your time and help

Hello BigIdea! Just out of curiosity, why are you looking overseas first? Due to my material and process, I too had to look overseas, but many start-ups inititally go domestic where the minimums are manageable

I have been manufacturing in China for years. Are you looking to manufacture a consumer product? There is a site, www.ExpertForEquity.com, that is similar to a MySpace in functionality; however, it is solely for inventors, entrepreneurs and expert business advisors. Whether you are seeking advice or looking to offer it, this really is a good place to begin.
