Flea Market and Dollar Store Wholesalers

Flea market items and dollar store wholesale products are still often found through a number of basic sources:

garage and yard sales
estate auctions
police
auctions
thrift and other second hand stores
junk stores
local
crafts
local artisans
local artists

With time an effort and trial, error and experimentation, you can build up a successful eBay business by devoting yourself to venues and sources such as those mentioned above.

Another successful method is the importation of craft and artisan good from other countries. Better still is if you yourself can find and bring them back into the country with you. Good from Thailand, Africa, the Middle East, for example, can sell like hot cakes.

None of this is particularly "easy," but there is an almost mysterious constant demand for these flea market sorts of items.

Another means of research that can be very effective for wholesale general goods items, wholesale dollar store items, and quirky giftware is a reliable online wholesale directory. You will find many wholesale dropship directories for sale on the Internet, but there are just a few really good online memberships that offer access to thousands of suppliers. The two that come to mind that have the best name recognition are World Wide Brands and the Salehoo directory.

I don't want to suggest that this sort of directory is right for everybody or even right for you. However, this sort of directory can be particularly useful when searching for mass market products to sell and for flea market type items.

To find out if you fit the profile of someone who would benefit from such a service, we refer you to Wholesale Lists for Success. You will find a discussion of a number of different ways of searching for products, and whether or not online lists and directories could be worth your time.
