Hello everybody,
It's always nice to know what the rough base price is for a given consumer product: I've been looking at slingshot options at Alibaba (China), which caters more for large volume purchases.
Two examples of slingshots, which sell for anywhere between USD 20 - 30 at Aliexpress can be obtained for a far lower price when purchased in bulk (between 5 or 10 units minimum). This could be interesting if several people get together for this purpose in a specific region.
At the very least, it's useful to get an idea of what price of certain slingshot designs is actually best value for money when buying at online sellers: some are clearly overpriced.
Two examples: The so-called Gonchi brand "Zhuilong" 440 stainless steel slingshot, and the Shaobo brand "Tianpeng" 304 stainless steel slingshot. The bulk price of 5 to 9 units for the "Zhuilong" is US$ 5.70 (unit price of US$ 17.50 at Piao Yu), whereas the bulk price for the "Tianpeng" is US$ 15 for 15 to 49 units (unit price of between US$ 22 and 28 at Aliexpress).

Both models are distributed (manufactured?) by:
Qingdao Shaobo Superfiber Products Co., Ltd.
Manufacturer, Trading Company
Place of Origin:
Shandong, China
Interesting information for comparison sake.
