Consultant - looks like you and I have lots in common. I also come from an OEM background so I understand all the logistics about branding a product, development, manufacture, importation, machinery and investment etc...

It really is rewarding when I see a product that I have helped develop being sold.

This is what stops me. I have ideas of products that I'd like designed for me but it would cost a fortune. I'd need to pay someone with the illustrating skills then pay to have the items made. Unless I was able to order thousands I just couldn't get a good enough price to resell at a profit.
Armed with power of negotiation, you can always ask that your supplier/manufacturer can run a trial run of 100s rather than 1000s as a one off. Don't say that its to test the water for a business model. They are likely to accept your request if it is managed properly.

I'll more than likely be calling upon your services at some point soon
This would be very nice!
