That is quite a vague request. Did you have any specific types of products you were looking to purchase wholesale? Any quantity in mind?

Just a heads up, inorder to buy from real wholesalers you have to have a business license . I believe the best,true wholesale directory is at Drop Shipping, Light Bulk, Liquidation and Import Wholesalers from OneSource!. I haven't tried them out yet; it cost $270 for a lifetime membership.

A lot of people sell VideoGames/Electronics, so in my opinion going through a middle man wouldn't be worth.. Your completion could afford to sell the products for less. Plus, it would be really hard to find a middle man with fair prices on the internet. You can still profit by it, but I wouldn't do it . If you do pick a middle man, make sure you look up the prices for item is selling for on Ebay and goolge products, BEFORE you purchase anything from a middle man. When selling on Ebay as a general rule, you have to sell a product for 15% more than the price you paid for the item to break even.

Another opinion would be buying larger auctions for VideoGames/Electronics on auction sites such as Ebay and reselling them on your site or ebay. I made some money doing that on Ebay. I know I've bought stuff on Ebay for less than wholesale.. But it takes some time to scout on good auctions and good searches.

Nothing is worth selling if you dont have a business license. I would invest in one. With all the competition drop shipping at wholesale prices, you won't make a dime.
