Wholesale sites..?

**bamamomto4** · 07-28-2006, 09:36 PM

Does anyone know of any wholesale sites to buy from? I see these people on ebay selling items that they have got to be getting somewhere. And of course no one is going to tell you,so really,I dont know why I'm even asking lol

I'd like to find something like hba items.Something not to big,bulky,heavy to ship.

I really want to find something at home to do,its just hard to find anything.

All you can do is search the Internet. A lot of companies want you to have a retail sales tax license. Some companies will sell to anyone. Overall, any of the wholesale companies I've dealt with haven't been that great. I think you're better off finding bargains at the store, or antiques, garage sales, etc... Also, a lot of the wholesale sites want you to buy in huge quantities, which means putting out a lot of money.

I have searched....and searched. I found a few where you buy by the pallet and they seem cheap until you add in the shipping and you have no idea whats in the pallets...

I need something to do. The kids are about to go back to school and I need something to occupy my time.I'll still have Jayme home but with just me and her,theres just so many times you can go to the park (before shes bored with going every signle day) or clean house....I'll be cleaning the paint off my walls.......

Well, first of all, I'd figure out what you want to sell, then search for those items.

I've been buying a lot of handmade items recently. Good quality, boutique like things seem to be very popular on ebay. I'm someone who specifically does searches for handmade things.

Well,I like to do small items so they're not to heavy and people feel their paying more in shipping than for the product. Like HBA items....

I have found a few crafts sites (country/primitive type) and they have some pretty great deals.

I was going to do that and open a booth at the flea mall here. Theres was like 300+ on the list and after 6 months they called right as we were moving and I couldnt do it then,so I lost my spot. I will try that again and see about those items.

Bue I see these people on ebay selling like the razors refills,I just bought some myself and they have got to be coming from somewhere. Of course when Dh worked at S*ms truckloads of stuff came up missing and some were found employees stealing pallets and selling them on ebay....soooo...that may be how they get them. I dont want anything illegal lol

I know what I want to do,I just cant find the items cheap enough to make any money.......

Well, I think the trick to selling on ebay is finding things below wholesale. I have some things I purchased wholesale from a friend, and they aren't moving at all.

I'll find a couple good ebay stores and post them. Then, you'll see what I mean. Their stuff looks fantastic!
