would, could use some information.I buy stuff on ebay all the time and work a full time job but what I would like to know is how to contact people with wholesale stuff for sale. Like flashlights rope tents fishing gear , anything that I already use myself I make good money know but that would be fun too . I might even open a corner store for my family to help run . but to find out how to contact real import exporters or even stuff for a corner store well I have no idea I have talked to friends and their like ,you would need thousands to do that. And i say . yeah got that And thats where the conversation ends.Or they say try the internet and I already know that will get me no place but yet I go shopping every day and see all of this stuff for sale but who would i call to actually get the stuff well beats me. Any help besides being recommended to go to the chamber of commerce website would be of great help. thanks.

Your on the right track but, don't put down the Internet as a source for your wholesaler..
The Internet is full of middle men trying to profit off people like you who need to buy goods at cost for resale. Your job is to weed out the middle guy. This can be accomplished by simply asking the seller who they are and what they do! Yes, some will try to lie but again, that's your job. Find the true wholesale company. In my personal experience, most wholesale companies (manufacture) will set up an account for you, and in the beginning you will have to pay up front. And, you'll probably have to buy in bulk, instead of one item you might need to buy 10 or 100, depends on the product.
You will also need to have a federal resale license, they are cheap and easy to get. Good Luck!

Do a google search for import/export dealers. I think you will find what you need.
