Ah yes the guy looking for the "dropshipper". My company gets tons of these emails every day (We deal Mobile Phones). Why would any legitimate company sell you stuff cheap and do all the work for you (ie. hold stock, shipping etc) when you are purchasing 1 unit at a time? Also the real problem comes down not so much because of the hassle, but for the profitability of the parties involved. Unless you are selling some niche item, there is no way that it could a "dropship" relationship could be profitable for both parties involved. Dropshippers usually sell on places like ebay, amazon etc. where the sites and payment processors take upwards of 7% of the final value. Thus the guy doing the selling needs the items really cheap to make it worth his time. However if he gets a really cheap price, its no longer worth it for the guy shipping the stuff out for you. Your best bet is to save up some dough and buy a bulk lot of some item and do it yourself.
