Well I hope evrybody enjoyed their day at the trade show and I hope you found
yourselves loads of news suppliers. Anyway just thought I'd pass on the web address
of a company I've used a few times to buy stock to sell on Ebay.
The company sells random stuff, I think they buy surplus stock from all
over the country. Keep an eye on them and you'll find a few gems now and
again.
Drakus.com a useful little website, good luck.

I forgot to say that the Venue is Olympia Exhibition Centre, London.
So get yourselves along there and grab some great suppliers Oh! and
bargains as well. Remember and get a copy of the show guide
(might cost a few quid) but it is well worth it because it usually
lists all the suppliers contact details.
Enjoy and Please provide some feedback as I'm always veery interested
to hear how people get on.

Wholesale lots, where do you find small wholesale lots to buy ?
The best place I've seen to buy small wholesale lots is some of
these Chinese websites, but be very careful and don't even try to
buy branded products otherwise you will get into trouble.
I know somebody will be shouting that all these branded products
are produced in China anyway so why can't you buy them direct ?
Well the Brand owners controll where their products are sold from,
so the factories will not risk selling without permission of the
brand owners. But you do get lots and lots of copies kicking about
so stay well clear.
Good websites to visit are:
www.aliexpress.com
www.lightinthebox.com
Both sites allow you to buy in small volume, enjoy!!

A couple of really good trustworthy websites if you want to try dropshipping
www.hardwareheroes.co.uk
www.wholesale-district.com
Both provide a service you'll be amazed at, the second link is shipped
direct from China so you'll have to wait 7 days or so for delivery.
The first one ships only from the UK so your customers will get the
product quickly. Try them out you will not be disappointed.
Come back here and let everybody else know how you got on

Another idea to save yourself some money.
Whilst your at the trade show looking for new suppliers, don't forget to ask
if they will ship direct to your customers. This is commonly known as
dropshipping, where a supplier will take an order from you and process
the order by shipping direct to your customers address. So basically you
pay your supplier £10 for an item you've just sold to your customer for
£21, that is £11 clear profit just for placing the order, not bad eh!!
Look here if your interested in dropshipping
Not all wholesale suppliers advertise this service, but do offer it if
you simply ask.
This can't be, I hear you say! well its true, loads of really big retail
outlets have their supplier ship packages direct to their customers,
because it saves them money. They don't have to store these items meaning
they dont need the storage space which costs money in itself. The biggest
saving to you is pure and simple, you dont pay your supplier until your
customer has paid you first. Of course this only works when you're selling
online but I'm sure you understand that anyway.
Give it a go after all, if you don't ask you don't get.
Goodluck
