How do individuals and other mom & pop shops sell on the internet? How
do they obtain these so called factory direct, wholesale, refurbished
prices? How can individuals like myself get into this business?

For example on eBay and Amazon, individuals sell LCD's, Laptops,
digital cameras, and other electronics. How do they obtain these
items? I've bought many wholesale guides but they do not have this
information and most is junk. Does someone know a REAL wholesaler? One
that provides many new products and not obsolete old products for real
wholesale prices?

Hello,
I feel your anguish when it comes to finding legitimate "wholesale
lists". I too have waisted money on those worthless e-books.Have you
thought about sending a friendly email to those Powersellers on Ebay
that sell the merchandise your looking to buy at wholesale. I know it
may seem to be a lost cause because why would a Powerseller give out
that type of info, but its worth a shot. Research a few sellers on
ebay. The worst they can do is no reply, or maybe charge a fee for
this information. At least if they want money for this information,
you know it's working for them. To retain the Powerseller status they
need to make at least $1000 a month. $100 for the direct source is not
a bad business investment.

Just a friendly comment.
Good luck.

You can find many real wholesalers at Surplus.net.  Just look into the
catagory you are interested in.  In most cases this is where those Mom
& Pop shops get their merchandise.  There is a bit of returns or
discontinued merchandise but there are valid overstocks of new items
or imports of large quantities of new items.

Since you can't order wholesale quantities of the merchandise you wish
to sell you end up having to parasite off those who can and this means
that a steady supply of specific items are about as rare as the dodo
bird.
