Question ID: 124637
Where can I find new with tags over-stock/surples/ high-end women's
designer clothing from Bloomindales, Saks, Norstroms or department
stores of this calibier? Is there a location in the United States,
preferably southeastern region, where I can go pick out the specific
items of clothing myself? If not, is there a place I can order by
pallet without going through a middle man. I know Ebay has wholesale
clothing, but there is definitely a middle man involved and they are
making a good profit.  Where do they buy their clothing?  Thanks in
advance.

Sorry this is very important.  I only want to start off small. 1st
purchase $2500 or less to see it it is successful.

Two questions:

1) How extensive of a list are you looking for?
2) Would companies in Canada be a consideration?

Clarification of Question by bojo1314-ga on 14 Dec 2002 15:23 PST
The list does not have to be extensive.  Just someplace that does sell
for pennies on the dollar and does not require a huge order so I can
just get started to see how successful I will be.  Not looking for
wholesale companies.  Would prefer somewhere where shipping would not
be as costly as Canda but if that is the best price, then okay. Even
prefer places that would let me come and pick out the items I wanted,
but that may be imposssibel.  Thanks for your time.

Dear bojo1314-ga,

Here is a list of outfits that appear to meet your criteria. Many of
them state that they supply auctioneers. I tried to concentrate on the
southeast, since that is your base of operations. However, I added a
few from other states that looked suitable, and just in case you
wanted to widen your scope in the future. For most, you will find
addresses, phone numbers, and URLs. Good luck in your business
venture. Hope to see you and your wears on ebay in the near future.

bojo-ga,

I am working on a list for you. I don't know how you feel about
bidding on such merchandise, but the following link might be a good
way for you to get started: www.liquidation.com. It links people with
overstock, closeouts and surplus with potential buyers in an ebay
style auction. I checked out some of the auctions and it looked pretty
good. Check it out and let me know if I am on the right track. in the
meantime, I'll finish compiling your list.

Yes you definitely are on the right track.  The only problem that I
see is when looking at closed auctions, the price is more than I want
to pay NOW.  But if successful, the site is wonderful.  Maybe where I
can but smaller lots.  Thanks for all your time and effort.

bojo1314-ga,

Thus far I have compiled a list of about 10 closeout and wholesalers.
Four are in Florida, three are in California, one is out of New York
and the rest had websites and phone numbers, but no addresses. Would
you like me to keep lokking?

Hi, I happened to be in the closeout business and know about most of
the companies. Many of the sites references you have received are
actually the same company but with different sites. One company I
recommend is www.merchandizeliquidators.com
It provides merchandise to many of the closeouts companies as the primary source.

Good Luck
