A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.76 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.08 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For marker, the drivers are wattage, color temperature, dimming, fixture length, finish, occupancy sensor, imprint size, handle type — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale pricing for markers varies widely by format: retail-pack resellers list branded permanent markers around $0.47–$1.43 each, while bulk office suppliers show lower per-unit pricing on case and pallet buys, and import/marketplace quotes can drop sharply at very high MOQ. The main price drivers are ink/fill quality, tip type (fine/chisel/dual-ended), branding/printing, pack size, and whether the route is domestic wholesale versus direct import. Realistic supplier routes are US wholesale office-supply distributors for 500–10,000 units, promo-product suppliers for custom-printed orders, and direct import/manufacturer sourcing for 25,000+ units
