Is this investment too much…?

Post the rest of your numbers, sale price, shipping costs, taxes etc

I’d build a store, you’re going to have to build one either way

You say you have the product and it works as you intended, you made it, or it was a sample?

If moneys tight just pay more per unit and order 100 as a test

I’d be giving it the best chance of success as possible otherwise you’ll end up dragging it out, what if I do this, what if I did that better etc, or worse, not trying properly and giving up thinking it doesn’t work when it would have

I’d probably order 100, send some to creators photographers and influencers, and aim to break even rather than profit. Worst case you sell them on marketplace

Also ads are expensive, doing a test and not taking their money would not give you much info, and probably result in you losing more money than if you broke even on a smaller order.

Do you do you e-commerce? You sound like you know the game pretty well

Yeah I do

And yeah I think with 100 you can minimise the downside, worst case the remaining units sell on marketplace over time

Can you share all the numbers?
Tax, shipping, landed unit costs, packaging etc.

$32 is a very low price but can be done

Do people buy 1 of these or multiple? Will they reorder?

You can test it and see if people click through to the order page. Or have pre-sales.
