44 Free eBay Wholesale Sources

Real wholesale vendors who will work with eBay,
Amazon, and small website sellers

The Legal Stuff
Please read as there is actually some important information here:
All of the links in this document were current and working at the time of
publication, but links and companies change and go in and out of business.
If you find a bad link, try performing a Google search on the name of the
company. This will often reveal the current links.
I researched all of these sources in person. At the time I spoke with them
they were all willing to work with eBay, Amazon, and small website sellers.
However, as I noted above—things change.
Please do not infer that because I list a source here that I endorse it. I have
done business with a few of these companies, but I have no experience
with the others. So please do your own due diligence. Check references.
Place small orders first before placing large ones. Don’t be afraid to call a
company and speak with a real live person. This is also a good practice to
follow with any wholesaler as if you develop a personal relationship you
will always get better service than people who send in anonymous orders.
So just to be clear, I do not accept any liability for any actions of these
companies. Having said that, do not be overly suspicious. These are all real
companies that need customers like you to be successful. A little caution is
fine—just don’t overdo it.
44 Free Wholesale Sources
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ACCESSING THE SOURCES
The following wholesale sources are just a small sample of the sources you
can access with purchase of The Complete eBay Marketing System, The
Complete Amazon Marketing System or The Wholesale Buying System. (The
Complete eBay and Amazon Marketing System books include all of the
information in The Wholesale Buying System, so please do not purchase
both books).
These three books come with lifetime access to our wholesale member’s
site where you can access all of our sources. We update the site with over
20 new sources every month.
Most of the websites I list below are wholesale sites. Some give the
products and pricing right up front, where others require you to register to
get access. If a site requires you to register, you will need a sales tax
number. (If you want to learn how and why to get a number, click here to
read my article Sales Tax for eBay Sellers.) If you are new to buying
wholesale, either of those two books will teach you the proper ins and outs
of doing so.
Some of the sites listed here will be plain retail sites. On these there will
usually be a link in the navigation or at the very bottom of the page that
says something such as “wholesale” or “dealers.” When you click those
links you will be taken to a page to register. Most of these sites will not give
you access to their wholesale side until they capture your name, address,
and email.
And some of the sites will be pure retail sites with no wholesale
information whatsoever. That’s OK. All of these people exhibited at a
recent wholesale trade show where they were looking for resellers. So just
look for a Contact Us link and send them a professional-sounding email
requesting wholesale information.
Here is an example of an email that always works for me.
Dear Sirs:
I came across your (insert name of product) products that you exhibited
at the recent ASD/AMD trade show. I am a retailer and would be
interested in carrying your line of __________. Please send me a catalog
or give me access to an online catalog site if you have one, along with
price & delivery and minimum opening order.
Regards,
Your Name
Your Company Name
Your street address
City state zip
Phone number
Sales Tax number xxx-xxx-xxx
This type of request will work about 90% of the time. Just put the product
they are selling in the blank spaces as well as your name and shipping
location, etc.
Don’t be surprised if you get a phone call from a rep at the company. So it is
best if you have a separate phone line that you answer in your business
name. A lot of people handle this by purchasing a cheap throwaway cell
phone with $10 or $20 worth of pre-paid time.
On some o f the listings I have included a screen shot from the website.
These shots represent only a tiny percentage of the products for sale, so it's
best if you actually visit the site and look around.
One more note about wholesale info. Here is a link where you can
download a selection of free wholesale sourcing magazines. These are great
resources for finding overseas suppliers.
Before we get into our sources, I want to let you know that we have
partnered with a new Wholesale Search Engine provider to help you find
wholesale sources. The new partner is Wholesale Central where you can
find real wholesale sources in over 30 different categories. Once you go
there, bookmark that page so you can return to it over and over again.
The only other source of legitimate wholesale information we recommend
is World Wide Brands. World Wide Brands is a lifetime membership service
where you can locate thousands of legitimate wholesale sources that have
been pre-screened and agreed to work with eBay sellers.
Now, here are the 44 free wholesale sources I promised:
1. California International Sales is a Distributor of new, recondition and
refurbished, Panasonic, Casio, Olympus and Polaroid cameras and

appliances such as coffee systems, vacuum cleaners, toaster ovens, irons.

iRobot vacuum cleaner—but they only have a couple of hundred units left.
Once you register you will be set up for their drop ship program.

26. Topper International liquidators is another large liquidation firm but
unlike the others they tend to sell in smaller quantities which makes them
perfect for small sellers. (Full disclosure, Topper is a paid advertiser on my
website).
27. Eagle Emblems Inc sells a complete line of military pins, caps, license
plates, medallions, military medals and patches. Click on the link that says
Dealer Login to register for wholesale pricing.
28. There was a whole section at the ASD/AMD Wholesale show for military
surplus—but frankly a lot of it was junk. One company that really impressed
me was Coleman Military Surplus. Email them through the website for
wholesale information and be sure and reference the ASD/AMD show. You
can also call them toll-free at 1-888-478-7758.
29. The Garden Sunlight Company had without a doubt the best line of
outdoor solar lighting at the show. The products are very high quality and
the prices blew me away. Last year I paid $49 for a set of 8 solar garden
lights. This company had a better looking and better quality set for $12
wholesale. Click on the link that says Wholesale Login to create an account
and get access to the wholesale pricing. Better yet, email them and ask for
the catalog CD with wholesale pricing.
30. One of the hottest products at the show were various vendors selling
the new electronic cigarettes. They work by delivering a shot of nicotine
with water vapor (you can even blow smoke rings). The Palm Garden
Company is offering a business starter set for $100 ($250 retail value).
However you will have to sell these from Craigslist or some other auction
site as eBay prohibits them. No web site – Call 702-768-0948.
31. Salvage Tools Inc.. is a closeout dealer specializing in tools. They sell in
box and pallet lots. You will need to spend about $500 or more, but the
prices average 20-30% below the original wholesale price.
32. Palco Sports is a wholesaler for a very complete line of airsoft guns,
products and accessories.
33. SSR Motorsports manufacturers a very nice line of dirt bikes, motor
scooters and off-road Quads. Although not a name brand here in the US,
they are one of the best-known brands in Asia and have been
manufacturing quality motorcycles and motor scooters for over 22 years.
Their products are competitive with Honda and Yamaha in terms of
features and quality but cost almost ½ as much.
34. Boker USA is the authorized distributor of Boker Knives made in
Solingen Germany, which are known for their high quality and popularity
among hunters, police, and military.
They are running a special called their “bucket of knives.” You get 6 each of
6 different magnum series of knives for $196.80. Suggested retail of all of
the knives is $604.20. That is a 67% gross profit margin. You can get this
deal by emailing Boker at [email protected].
Boker also sells a beautiful line of high quality Damascus Chef’s Knives.
35. Self Defense Supply is the largest wholesale supplier of personal
security, self-defense, and surveillance equipment in the USA. They are
aggressively seeking dealers and are happy to work with online sellers. They
carry all of the top quality brand names in the field.
36. Emco Supply features the Red Rock brand of outdoor hunting and
camping gear and also carries a wide range of survival gear. The website
takes you to a link to contact them and they will mail you a full-color
catalog and wholesale price list.
37. Lexage is a new company selling a narrow range of very high quality
optical products including binoculars and auto focus range finders that are
accurate to one foot over 1000. Their website is still under construction,
but you can email them at [email protected] and ask for product
information.
38. Dream Wireless is a large and very complete supplier of all types of
iPhone, Smartphone and iPad accessories and cases.
39. Rex Distributors had one of the largest—and strangest booths at the
ASD show. They sell a large line of knives—almost anything you can think
of, but they also sell boxing gloves and other sporting equipment, and
cutlery for manicurists and pedicurists as well as a dozen other unrelated
categories. I made the mistake of asking for a catalog and the weight of my
backpack increased by over 5 pounds. But they have some great stuff and
they are happy to deal with small online sellers.
40. Fox Outdoor Products specializes in camo clothing and packs, backpacks
and gun cases for hunters. All of their stuff is 1st quality—not seconds or
surplus as you often see from this type of dealer.
41. Jay’s Record and Tapes, Inc. offers excellent deals on niche music CDs—
as low as $1.10 or you can check out his package deals of 110 CDs for
$99.00. That works out to $0.90 per CD.
42. DVA is a great distributor of specialty DVDs. They have a specials
program for small quantities (1-5 each) and a true wholesale program in
you want to buy in large quantities.
43. Mountain View Movies has a large collection of old movies and DVDs on
specialty subjects.
