I believe it’s 2-2.5kI suspect that one of four situations is in play with these cards mold ceramic blanks:
- Sun-Fly produces the blanks and sells them to the Alibaba vendor (unlikely; according to @Marhault, the vendor says they are not Sun-Fly blanks)
- The Alibaba vendor produces the blanks and sells them to Sun-Fly (unlikely, for the same reason)
- A third vendor manufactures the blanks, and sells them to both Sun-Fly and the Alibaba vendor (plausible)
- Sun-Fly produces the blanks for their own use, and the Alibaba vendor has pirated the design and makes their own clone copies (plausible)
Curious as to what the actual cost is for a custom mold from the vendor. Sun-Fly charges $4000.
