New and Looking for REAL Product Sources

**e-Shopper** · 08-24-2008 04:28 PM

Hello - my name is John Penwarden and I am a medically retired disabled veteran who has turned to the internet as my last hope of develeoping some sort of income. I'm awaiting several claims with Social Security the V.A. and a PTSD claim which has placed me in a posistion to only be able to build an online presence. To that extent I have spent 1000's of hours researching and purchasing various types of venues that supposedly would build and build and eventually create an income - horsepuckey to them all. So I have or am developing an E-Commerce web site that offers Computers - Home Electronics - Personal Accessesories (cell phones, mp3 & $'s, etc). Only problem I'm having now is finding a REAL product source(s) without the amazing price tag that so many have. Have been scammed and it seems to be the main stream for the quick buck online. I do understand the concept of not giving up your source because thats what makes you money, however, there are so many quick buck scams going on it will be forever before I actually get thie web site able to launch. So my question here and why I've come to this forum to begin with is product sourcing for the products I've mentioned. At this point any and all ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks for the read if you've gotten this far.

John, active duty air force here. shoot me a PM with the niches you're looking to sell. it looks like you're trying to play too much, with far too much on the table and all over the board. if you're looking to sell that vast of a product offering - you might find its not going to work. i would recommend 'niching' and finding a specific product, in a specific niche that you can 'specialize' in.

Trying to offer the same things Walmart offers, is not a smart way to do business. However, I may be able to help point you in the right direction. Shoot me a PM and let's chat.

To get products from legitimate wholesalers, you need a tax-ID. Here is a good wholesaler WYNIT Inc.

Hi John,
It may be a touch of self promotion, but you may want to take a look into business to business networks such as ours. They tend to cost a subscription but you get access to buy and sell opportunities from many businesses in many fields.
If you want some more information on it let me know and hopefully I can help out.
Good luck to you in the meantime.
