Please note: I don't want to accuse any stores of anything unethical. I'm just worried I'm misunderstanding how pricing for 3D prints works, and what to look for with shops.

As the title says, I'm trying to figure out some stuff about different 3D print shops on Etsy or other sites, and what to look for when comparing them.

Basically, I've been buying minis around 32mm scale from multiple different sellers, and I've noticed a lot character minis of reasonable quality (i.e. minor cleanup required, but no serious issues) are around $7-9 after the seller's usual percentage discounts. However, a few stores (Missing Link Productions, for example) are a lot cheaper for the same stuff (i.e. under $6 for the same design, before any discount is included).

Does anyone know how stores like that typically determine prices? Do cheaper things usually mean lower quality printing (I don't know the parameters, but basically lower resolution), or is it other factors unrelated to the actual print?

As the title says, I'm new to the game though I've been watching videos and stuff for a while. And Eldar have always been one of the factions that I've actively wanted to try out (Orks are my other favorite, and I have zero interest in any Space Marine or Imperium stuff).

I may have mis-understood the 10th ed. rules, but I was always worried about how detachment rules only benefit one "themed" sub-faction (i.e. Harlequins, Corsairs, etc.) across your whole army, while the new detachment points approach seems way more flexible with including different stuff.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface, I don't know how that's panned out for people who actually play Eldar.

EDIT: if any current phones have the same screen dimensions, front camera location, etc. a screen protector for one of those would work also.

I have a Galaxy S21 (6.2" screen version), and I need to replace the screen protector. The last one I bought (ZAGG InvisibleShield GlassFusion+ model 200307333) doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere. There are some listed as the S21+ model (different screen size), plus an entry on Amazon where multiple reviews say they got the S21+ version instead of the one they asked for. So I really don't know which sites can be trusted.

(I can link a few examples that might be good, but I don't know if that would break subreddit rules)

Also, does anyone know if stores like Best Buy, Micro Center, etc. install screen protectors that they no longer carry? Like if I buy it at another store?

This screen protector has worked really well for me for 3+ years and only now got a bad cut in the middle (phone screen itself appears okay). And I don't have the money or need to replace the phone.
