A bottom of the line webcam retails for about $15, carries a profit margin of about $3 to $4 at a place like Wal-Mart who buys in such bulk that they get the lowest possible price many times because they are so large they bypass distributors and buy direct. So if you could find webcams for $1.50 each then you would be rich because they don't exist.

Wal-Mart is 3rd in line... your looking at quite a bit of fat on those prices. I am looking for a cheap little cam out of china. The materials involved to build one costs no more than .50 cents. Labor is around .05 a piece. I am not looking for the fancy packaged store bought web cams; I am looking for the ?brown bag? variety. I think we are talking about two different paths to purchase.
I?m not trying to get in to a pissing contest with you.. I do know what I am talking about; I just figured that with all the web cam people here, I wouldn?t have to do the homework to find it.
