What moves the price
For marker refill, 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.
Quoted marker-refill and refill-ink pricing on marketplace and factory listings shows the main cost drivers are ink chemistry/type (dry-erase vs permanent vs water-based), packaging volume, and whether the item is a simple refill fluid versus a custom-printed refillable marker or refill tube. Realistic sourcing routes are China-based factory listings on Made-in-China/Alibaba-style marketplaces and US-facing wholesale distributors that resell imported inventory; the lowest prices usually require higher MOQs and simpler specifications. Custom printing, specialty ink colors, and larger fill volumes move prices up; landed-equivalent US wholesale pricing for imported units is typically above raw factory FOB levels
