Hi Ryan,
I am a Yahoo e-commerce merchant. I have an online store and I had the same questions.
For my online purposes, I consult a legitimate directory of drop shippers and wholesalers. This resource can also be used if you have a brick and mortar store and are looking for legitimate vendors that have been verified.
You can also find light bulk, volume and liquidation wholesalers in this directory.
This is the first place I go when I am looking for a new source of supply.
Go to my website and read a review of this company...
my site can be found below in the source box.:
Once on my site,,,click on any of the links to be taken to the referred site.
You will also find a lot of free resources available that will help guide you in the setting up of your business if needed.
There is a one time fee for this product, but it pays for itself and enables you to do market research for your niche or chosen market, as well as keyword research.
It is an all in one tool.
Good luck finding your vendors.
Marc

Don't forget to check out individual artist's websites, especially those who do independant comics.
Phil Foglio and Donna Barr are two VERY good artists with a nice selection of items they can wholesale to you.
If you attend science fiction conventions, talk to the vendors there, they can give you contacts or even act as suppliers. There is a LOT of networking that goes on there. It's where I was contacted and made contacts of my own -- I do the Sluggy Freelance Bun Bun dolls (the big ones), the stuffed Narbonic Gerbils for the comic strip Narbonic, the plump cthulhu monster dolls for Tynes Corp. out in Washington State (their Outsider catalog features it) and a few other odd things. You never know where you can tie in to a new networking contact.

Optimum nutrition protein its proven and everybody likes it. Don't get fat loss pills or testosterone boosters. Get a glutamine and a creatine. So get NO xplode and cell mass for weight and mass and stack them together take the first one pre workout and the second post workout. Get multivitamins too. Don't get weight gainers they cost a lot and run out quick as it is 4 scoops per serving which equivalates to a lot of calories but it runs out really fast. Ask the sales person they can help you out but don't buy their GNC brand products unless its multis or glutamine cause their brand sucks.
