My one Etsy experience was great, I paid an order of magnitude less than "regular" businesses were asking for a small piece of brass acid-etched with my own .svg design. I turned to Etsy because I imagined that such an item could be manufactured at home with low overhead cost. Still, many Etsy sellers were asking more than I expected and it was only when I searched based on a common use for such an item (not my use) that I found a great price. My use: boat plaque. Common use: pet tag.

I wonder what other small-batch custom manufacturing can be found on Etsy at a good price and under what search terms.

More generally, is there a list of "where to get it made" based on manufacturing methods, materials, (small) quantity, size, etc.?
