Default Dropshipping Advice and Supplier Leads

Okay

first of all this site has helped me a hell of a lot and i thank you for that.

ive set up my own personal online business with a friend and were using dropshipping.

we have one set up for clothed goods and trainers etc.. (shop round the corner quite handy lol)

and for electrical goods.

but were finding it near enough impossible to find a reliable one or a one with good reviews for consoles, console games.

my qeurie is does anyone know a realiable one?

a one that doesnt require you to sign up before seeing stock?

as were not looking for amazing cheap prices as we'd be happy with a wholesaler willing to dropship for an extra chareg for example:

sell PS3 game for £22.00 x 10 = 220.00

we'd happily pay 27.00 for the game to have it dropped shipped, as were not supid we know it costs extra.

ill try and explain mroe if people dont undertsnad.

so basically help is a virtue or even just pointed int he right direction.

thanks

Liam

You will struggle to buy PS3 games at £27 all in let alone dropshipped.

You're targeting extremely competitive markets. Since your new to business you may think about other markets which not only present more profitable opportunity but also less competition.

ino the price was just an example i know we wont get them that cheap.

also we have clothing and trainers also electronic goods.

so our contacts so far we make about 7 pound on each ps3/xbox 360 game which isnt too bad just looking for better desals lol

£7 isn't bad and I can't really see it getting much higher than that I think our prices start from around £27 but customers pay a high fee to get those prices.

But as Anthony said, you are tapping in to an already fiercly competitive market and its one of the hardest markets to get into and be successful in.

It's all about the volume you sell, not your margins.
