looks straightforward until the quotes come back. Three suppliers, three prices that differ by 200%, three different mold fees \u2014 and none of them quoting the same product. One priced die-struck zinc alloy with soft enamel. One priced a printed insert. One forgot to mention that antique plating carries an upcharge.<\/p><p>The problem usually isn\u2019t the supplier.
