hey Ganja!
With $1000 you'd be better of to sell something cheap, def. not electronics like mobile phones, game consoles etc.
You see - for $1k in electronics market you'll be able to buy, say what? - 3 mobile phones? 1 plasma TV? 10 mp3 players? You'll never get a good wholesale deal for that money.
On the other hand - $1k in China can land you a very nice deal on clothing (not branded of course), toys, beading supplies, iPhone pouches etc.
So be very careful when choosing the products you want to sell. The more buying power you have, the better deal you'll get!
