Lucky you, $50000 of budget
I've got a great website where you can find millions of wholesalers around the world here: http://www.alibaba.com/
Just attend more Siminars, Tradeshows and start networking with other business owners. They may have lots of valueble info.

Sweet Luck!
Hope someone more knowledgeble than me can help you

Yeah i mean you need to do your homework and develop tough emotions to control a business decision such as this because well you've gotta know the in's and outs of what you involve yourself in.

Try to find a mentor who has been there and done that before... even if you have to pay him or take him out for dinner it'll be money that is well spent to setup a good and solid deal.
