I have seen that many people are selling as seen on TV items and mostly all seem to sell really good. Does anyone know where they are purchasing these items from. I have access to all kinds of items and will be willing to trade access to my items in return for As seen on Tv Items Or Any other quality low priced items. Please e-mail if you are interested. Please explain your dealer in the e-mail and I will get back to you.

Just a question.
Why would you want to sell the same things others are already selling? It would seem to me that the "good" prices being currently realized would drop as more people sold the items.
Why not try and find things that aren't already being sold?

Well For starters that's Called competition! The Best way to sell thing s and not lose money is to sell things that you know will sell.....Everytime you introduced something New you are taking a chance and No I'm not afraid of taking chances but I want to know where everyone is getting all this stuff from.

This is probably not the wholesale information you're looking for, but here's a link to a retail site that specializes in "as seen on TV" merchandise at a discount:
http://www.youcansave.com/index.html
I haven't had any personal experience in buying from this site so this is not a recommendation!
[Edited to add:] Just noticed there is a link at the bottom of the page for wholesale inquiries. Again, I have not done business with them, so I can't make a recommendation.

You might try this website:
http://www.asontv.com/wholesale.cgi
My experience has been that you need to search out each product and determine who the manufacturer is and then contact them to find out what their wholesale policy is. Good luck!

Yes, it is called competition. It also is part of the classic economic equation of supply and demand. When supply is lower than demand, prices are high..when supply is higher than demand, prices drop.
Its your choice though

How many times can you slice a pie before the slices are too small for anything but a taste?

I did not post this message for you to tell me you don't like me selling things others are selling...I posted it to find people that know where to find these items at. If you don't have a message pertaining to that then there's really no need to post me a message here
Thanks

baby167297-Why would someone already selling these items give you their sources so that you can go into competition with them?
I certainly can understand you wanting to sell only "winners" we all do!
I'm not trying to be a "thorn", just pointing out something you really should consider.
I wish you the best-Sulyn

baby167297 You're getting some
great advice on this board.
You will make more money in the long run and have a good, profitable business long-term if you find a product or products you know in an area in which you have (or can develop) some expertise.
Chasing "As Seen on TV" fad-of-the-moment merchandise is not the way to go -- especially if you have to come to a message board to ask where to find it.
If you follow a link on a web page, chances are you will pay more for the merchandise than your competition is paying --- and guess who's gonna come out the winner after the auction prices drop due to so much competition?
Your stock will be worth about as much as your "Specialty Merchandise Catalog" investment.
Listen to amy and sunlyn1950.
They've been around awhile and know the ropes.
And if you won't take their word for it, ask some of the Ginsu knife sellers around here how the game's really played.

I have found these items at trade shows.I would also suggest contacting the manufacturer of the particular item you like.
To sell these items at a profit be prepared to spend some money becouse you are going to have buy in quanity to buy at price to be competive.
You also need to keep your eye on the market as the bottom can fall out on these items if a big retailer decides to sell the items
