Where can I go to buy the damaged (but, repairable) items that never made it into inventory?

Question

You know those items that sell at the outlet stores for way less than in retail stores, yeah, the ones that seem to have slight flaws in them, or they may have minor things wrong with them? I was wondering if there is a surplus place online that deals in items such as these. If so, does anyhone know of any websites tha I can go to get items such as these? Or any information for that matter would work. I own my own electronics repair company and I am looking to expand and sell much more than just the things that people leave behind. And not ebay, I am talking about a stand alone store where I can purchase these items in bulk!

Thanks In Advance

Answer 1

I don't know of a website explicitely, but I do have suggestions. Go into almost any store that sells, or has a department that sells, the types of items you are looking for. Ask them for 'out of the box' items, floor models, or items they may be planning on returning to the vendor. They will usually be happy to make a sale on a broken item. Although you are not interested in ebay, craigslist can find you items and can narrow them down to you town or city.

You can also try Cosco. I know that they sell items by the dumpster. They will send you a list of items in the dumpster, then you can contact them if you wich to purchase the dumpster.
