How to find RELIABLE Wholesale Sources

I have a very big issue these days with finding wholesaler suppliers on the internet. Either they are sellling me fake goods produced in China in some sweatshop or they are just garbage products that noone wants to buy but people only want to get rid of.
I am really interested in knowing the real way to find sources. Is it that most wholesalers dont bother with the internet? Or would all wholesalers rather dropship and charge a sign up fee?
How are websites like alibaba.com?
I need to figure out how to find better sources and contacts in order to be able to research the market correctly. This really annoys me how everytime I search for wholesalers I get these liquidators selling me nothing for 1.00 that I can turn over for 1.50.
I appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks everyone!
Bob

Hi Bob -

Everything depends on the quantity you are dealing with and how involved in sourcing the product you want to be.

Dealing directly with manufacturers in China is a complicated process and it is hard to find good people over the internet.

Check out my website or PM me and I may be able to help
