Pinback Button Makers are WAY Over Priced For What They Are
And the pinbacked button blanks are even more ridiculous in price for what they are. IF you can sell a button for 1-2 each you would have to sell upwards of 200-250 buttons to break even for the button "machine" button materials and the paper and ink for the picture.

Then a blank button set of 250 buttons for each size so around 100 with shipping, which is $20.00!!!! RIP OFF. (You CAN'T buy these anywhere, believe me, I looked so it's only online.)

Not to mention a circle cutter which is around 15 bucks!!
This is just for ONE type of item, I have over head in other areas too. Let's shoot for breaking even! haha
