hey everybody this is my first post so nice to meet you all and i hope i can get to know some knowledgable ppl in this bus

i been lookin into dropshipping, wholesales, etc. etc.

im really ****** frustrated, seems like the more i look the more i just wanna quit and say screw it!! i looked into tradekey and all those other things and it seems like everyones scammers!! i'm really cautious because i don't have a lot of capital to begin with.
so i came here and looked around, its a lot to take in but i'm tryin. i wanted to get in on some good sites but it's not that easy i guess. i realize no ones going to give me their secrets but i look forward to learning as much as i can. i am cliche when it comes to products because i know a lot about electronics(iphones,blackberries) etc, but that's what i'm hoping to find!. which i couldn't find squat!!! except for more spam crap. tradekey even the gold members seemed like they were really fishy

anyways i'm hoping for some tips, advice, maybe a start to where to look. im hoping for electronics at wholesale. but i'll take what i can get. i started purchasing things off of craigslist.com which i'm not sure but i think it's just in the states here, ppl sell nic stuff on there for cheap for different reasons and it's not auction style. and i am selling it on ebay. no one that i've talked to does that so i guess it's a start, i thought it was pretty inventive!!

that's all. i hope to learn a lot. hello to everybody and if anyone would like to gimme tips thank you!!

Quick tip, don't try and source branded products from China. It just will not happen, you'll only get scammed or recieve counterfeit goods. China is a great place to do business, but not if your looking for branded products (mobile phones, games consoles, and designer clothing being just a few examples). Either contact the authorized distributors in the US or look for suppliers in Hong Kong or Singapore.

could you give me a couple that you know about in hong kong or singapore. i typed in electronics in both those places in tradekey and nothing really popped up. thank you

[onetruth7717]

i guess also could you give me some pointers on what to look for to make sure it's legit?? i feel like everything i see now is a scam. do trust points really mean that much and if it's a gold member is that also huge? and also if they use paypal is that another really good tell their legit? anything else anyone has you have no idea how much i appreciate it

There is all sorts of information on these subjects here on the forum.

No one is going to take you by the hand, it's all here and you need to devote some time to dig it out on your own.

Just look at some of the different forum sections and you'll get an idea of how things are.

Not trying to be a wise ass, just telling you how it works, not just here, but most forums. No one is going to begin at step A everytime a newbie wants some info. Sorry....

one thing I will tell you for sure is that unless you have *massive* capital you are going to make nothing on iphones or blackberries.
