Ok,
So I found a couple places, and got a couple of quotes. The most attractive so far is a nice dip molding company in the Netherlands. Price includes tooling, production, and delivery.
The initial investment would be EUR 1,555 (or $2,390 thereabouts). That includes setup for all the tooling involved.
The price per item, including the printing of the logo is EUR .97 (or $1.50) each.
This was all done for a quote on an initial order of 500 pieces.
According to the prior poll we have interest in 219 pieces, with 73 voters so far.
So here's the breakdown.
To cover the tooling, for the people involved, it would be about $33 per person.
$2,390/73 = $33
$1.50*219 = $328.50
There is also what we would have to cover for the rest of the lot of 500. If B&B would want some to sell on the storefront, they could cover some of that.
So really, not including the per-piece cost we're looking at an investment of $33 per person (assuming 73 people. Less if more people sign up!) to get this going.
Assuming you want 2 of them, that's a $36 investment. This is a one-time thing, of course, since they can produce more of them when we want them once the tooling is made.
