It takes a while to build your shop from nothing to self-sustainable or profitable. Smaller/indie shops are operating on a razor-thin budget.You're not going to get to pay just $0.55 on top of a mold fee if you only want one pin (and that's IF they agree to only produce one).

Note: The costs I'm describing are based on my experience dealing directly with factories.Some manufacturers might let you pay 50% up front, 50% after approval, but it's more likely they'll require 100% until they trust you as a customer. Now, I don't work with manufacturers that produce single samples so I can't speak to those costs directly, but I do know they exist, and I know it's not cheap, because you'll still have to cover mold fee costs, shipping, etc. That's for the front mold only - if you wanted a back stamp, that will be an additional fee ($30-ish - this is not mandatory, it's just a nice thing to have).
