Finding items to sell in shop

[PowerPython]

I am starting a new shop, at first it will be online...but then we will buy a 'real' shop. We have our own range of products in development..but where can we find other products to sell online? We need stuff like saucepans and basically kitchenware. any ideas?

If you're not doing your own manufacturing then look to the east - China. That's where the bulk of consumer goods comes from. globalsources.com is a nice place to start. Also check out alibaba.com - but be careful dealing with those asian companies, especially when it comes to transfer of money.

China can provide a lot of cheap yet great products but make sure you get a guarantee..sometimes they sent initial authentic products but after a few orders they send a fake one instead

Well, I would be making my own products...but I figured it would be good to sell other products as well..other wise the shop would be pretty empty for a while! Any way...thanks for the links I found some useful stuff.
