Hi. It’s my first time posting here and I had a few questions.

There’s a product that I want to bring to market and I was looking to get it manufactured in China.

I’ve been looking on AliBaba and unfortunately have only managed to get in contact with a single manufacturer that seems suitable.

After briefing them on my idea they proceeded to give me a $20,000-$30,000 quote on a sample which seems quite excessive. Their reasoning being that it is completely different to the current products on the market.

I have since tried to use the Request for Quotation function but it constantly says that it has been rejected with no proper information about further details that may be required.

As such, I have very little to compare my original quote to and I honestly have no idea if this is a fair price or not. Does anyone have any ideas?
