Not a chance, too damn slow. I can't make money on a Fiber lasered mug at 10 minutes per.

Prices in St. Louis are lower than you guys are talking about. The customers who call me are businesses who want to give yeti's, etc. as gifts, not to resell. They inquire about 20 to 400. I bid $8 each on the 400 and was told they already had a $4 bid. I congratulated them on finding such a good price. I am now at $10 for several up to 30 then $9 up to 60 and $8 for 60 to 100. For more than 100 I might go as low as $6 depending on the specs.

My pricing is nearly identical to yours
I remember a year or so ago a restaurant was asking me about supplying and engraving mugs for them. They had a specific brand and style of mug they wanted. I forget the name (online place) but they sold the mugs as cheap as anyone else, and they would laser etch 100 or more for less than $4 each. Doing the buying and meeting that price was just too time consuming for the net profit. I just told the restaurant manager he should deal with them direct...

I just did 60 RTIC cups with cermark for $10/cup.
I don't think I did to bad.
Each cup took 4:30min. I would coat a few and get the laser started. After that I had 4:30min at a time to get more coated or wash cups that I had already marked.
I averaged about 12 cups an hour.
