How is an octopus skirt trolling lure priced from a Chinese factory?
Short answer
For this family our sampled listings quote US$0.08 to US$2.80 per piece at MOQ 100 to 2,000 pieces, which is a factory price basis and not a retail price. The three Octopus Skirt listings in the sample include a resin-head Kona at the top of that band and a soft PVC skirted bait at the bottom.
In detail
The spread tracks material and labour: a poured resin head with keel weighting, a cast lead head, a hand-fitted vinyl skirt and a wired hook set are not the same product at different prices.
