How do I find manufacturers of items that I want to sell on EBay and buy the items from them at a discount? Where are these manufacturers and how do I do this?

It will be very rare for you to deal with a manufacturer directly, unless you have a lot of buying power, you would be better finding a good wholesaler and getting a good friendship going with them, that usually goes a long way, then further down the line like I do, you can get him to put extra orders in with the manufacturers just for you at cost

I believe there's a guy named Chris Malta who gives out source list according to some of the amazon.com's book ratings.. But i also see people talking trash about chris malta.. so I'm not exactly sure where to go.. My advice is try him since he provides the only (or one of the few) legitimate list online.. but be cautious..

eBay is actually a good place to start. Many wholesalers and dropshippers auction wholesale lots of items that you can resell.

FIRST ....YOU MUST KNOW THE BRAND NAME OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU WANT TO POST ON E-BAY or HALF.COM . THEN YOU CAN GO TO "YAHOO" SEARCH AND RESEARCH THE COMPANIES. THEY USUALLY HAVE A " HOME " LINK ON THEIR SITE. CONTACT THE COMPANIES & SEE IF THEY WILL SELL DIRECTLY TO YOU AT A " WHOLESALE " PRICE. IF NOT , ASK WHO THEIR " JOBBERS" ARE.. JOBBERS ARE MIDDLE-MEN WHO CAN GET THE ITEMS TO YOU AT A DISCOUNT PRICE
