goWholesale

While my focus has been on electronics, I would imagine that this is probably more or less the same for all merchandise.
I've looked around the web and hit up alibaba.com, but have only found a couple of possible legit wholesalers out there. Are they really that hard to come by? Where do I find the legit ones?

Hi, We have been in business over 50 years selling products to
paint and hardware stores. We have over 5,000 items from over 70
name brand companies. We are a two step distributor, buying direct from
the manufacturer in large quantities and selling to retail stores.

I would be interested to talk to you to see if their are items we carry you
would want to have drop shipped to your customers.

Send me an email to patrick@see-bee.com

(We are FieldsofDeals on e-bay so you can see what I mean ...). I started Fields of Deals about 4 years ago when I thought my reg job was going to be downsized but it never happened so I had to refocus on staying employed in corporate America!

I am in the same boat... looking for a backup plan since my job is not as stable as I hoped it would be. Any tips for wholesale clothing?

There are TONS of wholesalers on the internet, just search google. HOWEVER, to find some that are 100% legit and not a bunch of fooking middlemen cashing in on the ebay craze with pretend wholesale prices, you need to go to a TRADESHOW!!

Alibaba has become a snake pit for scammers. Yeah, you might find a few you can trust but the odds are against you.

if everything goes well ,then he(she)is legit,if any trouble happened ,he(she)turns to be scammer.difficultly

this is a very tough and touchy subject...

there are plenty of great wholesalers out there but noone wants to share their sources, so asking for a name of real legit source you will never get it .

you will have to do your homework and its quite a challenge, how can you tell if a source is legitimate you cannot , you can ask around but even then its a difficult task some people might say yes they are great even though in case of apparel the supplier is selling counterfeit items . this is done by the referers because a they do not know b they do not care.

selling counterfeits will get you in huge trouble. and its will not may.


some things you may want to do is go to trade shows, go around network yourself see if there are products you want. sources.
build capital , many times from a legit wholesaler with good prices you are going to have to buy bulk in the thousands of dollars. ,
learn the business this is so important , if you want to try ebay etc etc you must must learn everything you can , read the boards , take the classes, the books , you might want to start selling small priced items first to learn how exactly it is to be a seller,
know the fees , know the market, research anything you want to sell thoroughly see how much they sell on ebay or amazon or overstock etc and see what you can get it for . then subtract all your expenses ebay fees paypal fees shipping fees , figure in also that you might not sell all your items , in overstock sales sometimes you too will have overstock . find an other outlet to get rid of your surplus. Knowing your buying price your price point , and all expenses will help you get a real grasp on what you will make . and remember you make your money on the buy.

think this is real important when trying to find a source , people often go with their heart not their brain when first starting of. Someone tells you how they can get you a great deal on ipods , high end clothing or whatever you are looking to sell and you start thinking how great this is , i can pay my bills , my mortgage go on a trip, buy a car blah blah , people start only using their heart wishing hoping to believe what this person on the other end is the truth . big mistake you wire your money the seller dissappears, you get bad product , fake product and your dreams are gone and so is your money. Why? because you never asked is getting such a deal possible , you did not do your research, you didnt think if its this easy why isnt everyone doing it . the truth is its not easy its extremely hard to be successful to find a great source and great deals are very hard to find especialy if they are from china , india , africa , sri lanka etc etc even in the good ole usa , where there is money there is always someone out there praying on inexperienced buyers and desperate people. See if they will take credit cards though most dont some of the best wholesalers that I work with do , the others i deal with are iron clad well reputed corporations.

if you want a start try liquidations.com do all your research on the products and everything else i talked about. many times you can find a deal or two on here. but be warned please please read entire descriptions many items are not guarunteed to work , some have manifest of which work , which dont, this is also an auction site so you will have to bid , but do not think with your heart but your brain , decide how high you are willing to go and this should only be done after you calculate everything ( what the product sells for online or wherever you plan on selling, fees associated, shipping, and if not all products sell or that you will have dump some at the end )

If you have capital in the thousands then contact me for large bulk sales , I might be able to help , sometimes i over buy myself or have to turn down lots and might be willing to sell to you ,


well I hope people really do read this if they are just starting and remember what I say , when i started on here i was as green as everyone else and got myself burned many a times . I wish you all well and hit me up if you ever have a question

Hi there...
I just advised another newbie on a similar topic. I hope my advice will help you.

Perhaps start with companies like: http://www.wirelessgalaxy.com or http://www.factorydirectcellular.com for wholesale style pricing which will really help our your business. Some that are similar to these sites will dropship, and thats a great way to do business, but possibly not the best idea for just starting.

Take a look around at sites that have products you are interested in selling and make inquiries
about purchasing wholesale.

Steer clear of sites that say "For only $49.95 you get access to a database..."

Go with what really interests you.
Electronics, Phones, Shoes, whatever your fancy is.

Good luck and I wish you much success.

Kind Regards,
Grace

Just search google to see if there are any complaints about a company that you are researching!

its not dumb! There are tons of people chatting on forums about scams, and that comes up if you search in google.

World wide brands is a legitimate source. There is one problem with them. Thei main man, Chris Malta is a sincere fellow, and they are the best of the "source suppliers".

But, they have sold many thousands of subscriptions. The places they list are selling the same stuff to thousands of folks all over the internet. So, will you get some possible sources? - Yes!

Will they be anywhere near exclusive? - Absolutely not!

Will you find virtually every product offered on ebay at .99 starting bid? - Good chance!

When you have 20% of the population wanting to get rich selling dropshipped goods on ebay you find that there is little profit to be made by anyone except Chris Malta, eBay and PayPal. It's a great idea, but there are very few that really do well with it.

And it certainly does not happen overnight.

The best thing to do is find a niche product. EVERYONE is looking to sell electronics, etc... But you CANNOT compete on eBay. You need to find a niche specialty product and cash-in. If you're going to try and finx xbox or dvd player, etc you're going to find that eBay will have prices LOWER than many wholesalers. It is a sad fact of the trade.

I would have to say that we are 100% legit, and we refurbish our own product and offer warranties.. If it's electronics you are looking for give us a try..

It is a tough business.. essentially you have to build trust with some initial sales, but it's those initial sales that are difficult to accomplish.. I sell most of my big orders to a few dozen buyers that I have developed a relationship with..

If you are interested in electronics let me know what you are looking for..You are welcome to come down to our warehouse etc. (located in delaware)

99% of the electronic wholesalers are scammers...

to see is to believe~~~

Also be careful of the middlemen that appear to make themselves out as wholesalers.

True wholesalers do not need to advertise everywhere as they already have reliable accounts purchasing from them on a continual basis as compared to middlemen who act as a retail site and advertise all over the Internet and fool you into thinking you're getting wholesale prices.

I would say get out there in the real world and meet people...go to exhibits where wholesalers meet retailers.

I have couple of websites, if you PM me ill give you.
