I want to start a business or maybe even more than one, but I am terrified that the markets are already saturated. One business idea is to import off label bluetooth headsets, MP3 players, and other various electronics, but when I checked on ebay I say there was already tons of the off label cheaper brands. I then thought about selling out of a store front, but that takes more overhead. The other business is disposable or consumable medical goods. Items like rubber gloves, maskes, syringes, etc..., but I am afraid of saturation in that market also.
Can some one give me some advise or encouragement. If anyone knows of niche market that is untouched please let me know!!!

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?
By researching the prospect of starting your own business -- what it entails, what you need to know, helpful hints, etc -- you'll feel better prepared to take that plunge.
I found some book titles that are relevant to your specific question:

One idea is vacuum cleaners. Fuller brushes sell good. So does Avon.
No seriously, I would look on ebay for something that you see a demand for but only has a couple offered on ebay. That would give you an idea of what people are looking for that has a small supply.
