    Anyone buy wholesale stuff in internet? I have this question, because the image of wholesaler is not trustable. At least, the retailer is much trustable than wholesaler. Search wholesaler in internet is easy, but it also give us risk. Sometimes the wholesaler is trustable but they usually give out higher prices in internet than their store's price. Do you guy have anyway to aviod this kind of risk.

    If you wish to buy by the truckload, there's quite a few places to buy merchandise. I've subscribed to newsletters from several sites that every week send e-mails of new products from multiple sources.

    But if you are like me and can't afford a whole truckload, buying small quantities is difficult. I've spent multiple hours and multiple evenings searching for wholesalers who'll sell small shipments. So far I've found the best deals right on ebay. Seems like either someone is stuck with merchandise they can't unload, so they sacrifice it on ebay, or large suppliers are selling small lots to attract you to their website where you'll hopefully pay a higher price.

    Lately I've been buying jackets in small lots. With exception of some nice denim jackets I found, I've kept my price w/ shipping under $5 each for new name-brand jackets with tags. It ain't easy -- but if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

    It does take some research to find good wholesale prices as well as dealers. However, if you select a product that meets your specs then get on this forum and ask if anybody has done business with this wholesaler. As far as wholesale prices are concerned, sometimes you have to go with a product that satisfies your needs as well as price and the price you can sell it. It "may" not be the cheapest--so keep looking. If however you are making your required markup, then buy the item and keep selling it. Additionally, I watch out for shipping prices. I WILL NOT PAY HANDLING FEES-- when I sell a product I don't (can't) add handling fees! P.S. you have a pretty good trustworthy wholesaler right in your backyard that you can visit and see their products--check out Albert Price.
