Request for Question Clarification by byrd-ga on 17 Jan 2003 18:34 PST

Hi Jimnbama,

Could you clarify for what product or products you are looking for
wholesale distributors?  As you can imagine, a general search for
wholesalers would turn up thousands, many of which would probably not
be useful to you at all.  The more details you can give about the kind
of distributor you're looking for, the better we'll be able to help
you.

I sale general merchandise at the flea markets like binoculars,
camping stoves, his and her watch sets,telephones,umbrellas.I am just
looking for more sources to buy merchandise that I can sell for 20
dollars or less.

Hi Jimnbama,

Thanks for your clarification.  That does help narrow the field quite
a bit.   While I can’t promise they all have the cheapest prices, let
me begin by giving you a list of Alabama wholesalers I found in an
e-book I purchased online from US Traders.  There are many other
companies outside Alabama listed as well, so if you think you might
consider those and would like to purchase your own copy of the book,
you can find it here: http://www.theustrader.com
