selling things to stores
i am interested in selling somethings i make to stores. i want to make dog collars and maybe leashes and sell them to local pet stores. there are many different ways i can make them and they are very strong. normal collars are around 10-20 dollars and they break all the time. mine are made with 550 lb paracord and metal rings and i would wanna sell them for 10-15 i feel that is a fair price for a collar that has less of a chance of breaking.
i am wondering how one would go about selling them in or to the store. would it be best to do consignment or sell it to the store and they make the price.

10-15 dollars RRP I guessing so retailers will want it for around 5 dollars a piece.

so a store would wanna make 100-200%? i was thinking about asking what they would sell it for and then figure out a price. but i dont wanna go into big stores like petsmart and shit i wanna help out the local places i dont like big businessOriginally Posted by djlifeline
Yeah most stores work on 100-200% margin. Specially on such low ticket items to make it worth there while. I run 2 businesses. Both in buying and selling. The idea is you supply at approx $5 dollars each but have to order 10,20,50 at a time or whatever you wanna quote. May get closer to 10$ but I would say 5-8$ be right but I'm in UK so I only know how works over here. Can't see why would be too much difference.
Stores have rent, bills, etc etc to cover so they don't wanna be taking up space there gonna make 3-5$ on. Not worth there time nd space.

alright thanks for that info. people sell them for around $20+ online so they could probably go for a good price but $8 a unit i wouldnt mind that that sounds better to me haha i guess ill just have to go hit up some places maybe i can get it on consignment at a couple places to get some opinions about them
Why dont you sell them on ebay or amazon yourself?
Sell them one ebay and use paypal for payments. Just remember to incorporate ebays 9% final cost fees and paypal fees into your prices so that way you dont end up losing money. I know there is a market for these on ebay, I especially want to get one for my doggys
