I am starting a wholesale merchandising business- buying in bulk and selling on my own. How can I get some good contacts for who to buy from and who to sell to? ANY suggestions/tips are appreciated! Thanks ahead of time!

Hello,
Let me see if I understand. You are either wanting to start a wholesale company or you are wanting to purchase wholesale and resell at retail. Let me answer both. If you are wanting to sell products in bulk at wholesale prices, you should be purchasing from manufacturers or master dealers. These are the companies who directly make or purchase hundreds of thousands of an individual product. You would then be a distributor and sell to retail companies. If you want to import you can try Chinese or Indian companies from www.alibaba.com or from www.made-in-china.com. You will be charged import fees.
If you are interested in purchasing items wholesale and then selling then at retail, you it would all depend on what you are purchasing. You can find many companies online that are wholesalers. You can also try wholesalecentral.com and other wholesale gateways. Do not pay for wholesale or drop ship lists or access to wholesale sites. These are usually just out to get your money with fake leads. Most reputable wholesale companies have minimum order requirements. It can be a dollar amount from $100-$800 or it can be a piece amount usually at least 12.
We sell many items and offer them at both retail and wholesale. Our retail site is www.missaccessories.com and our wholesale site is www.bagsbymiss.com. As you can see you do not have to pay to access our wholesale site and you costs are all listed. Good luck!

Look, you can make much money selling on Ebay, www.ebay.com, but to sell on ebay you need cheap wholesalers that you can get from Salehoo, http://salehoo.deals-guide.com/ . Look for the Hot items in the market and sell them hard on ebay.
Good luck

Try family first. Parents, aunts,uncles, grand, etc. A really good start would be ebay. Make an account and become a power seller and in no time you will make a good money.

To find verified wholesale suppliers quickly try www.esources.co.uk and www.wholesaledeals.co.uk they are the two largest directories in the UK.
