i could be very very wrong but i would not bother trying to compete with the asian market with certain items. something you could possibly advertise yourself as a us seller which i see people do. a lot of people out of principle won't buy from china and a lot of people don't want to wait 2 weeks for their product. also make sure you are using the lightweight shipping mailers because if you stay under 3oz there is nothing cheaper in the world than first class.
