Any Idea? 1 Year, 5 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi Friends, I want to sell cups of African Nightcrawler Worms by the cup to a Local Feedstore and a Hardware store. They will resell the cups for $3.50 each with 15 worms. I just have no idea what a fair or average WHOLESALE price I should charge. Should it be $1.75(half price?) or more?

I sell worms and mealworms.
My best advice comes from what I did when I wanted to sell the mealworms to pet stores.
I went to the stores and talked with the manager about what they were paying for mealworms. I could beat that price just by the fact that I was local so there were no shipping charges.
I would not think about what they would sell them for, as that is their business.

$1.75 sounds fair to me. The key is to get your foot in the door, you can always gradually go up if you need to.

We buy wholesale cupped worms for a convenience store. The Euros have 25-30 per cup, wholesale price is $1.85 retail is $2.95

Another store 15 miles away charges for the same Euros over $4 and we have the same supplier but they have no competition there.
