I never thought it would be this difficult to find legitimate suppliers

And what do you want us to do about it? What sector are you in? If it the electronics sector forget about it as you will have crummy margins

What line of business are you in my friend - finding legit suppliers is NOT usually a problem round these parts

Look @ every "brick and mortar" store in your city - what do you see?

Shops full of products from legit suppliers. Maybe you're just looking for wrong items in wrong places???

Its hard... thats it.. NOTHING can be done to make it easier..

Actually it's not hard - you can get contact details for wholesalers in yellow pages.

Problem is that people don't want to go to official distributors & wholesalers because their pricing won't be attractive to sell online - at least for electronics, clothing, DVDs and stuff like that. Also, many of them are not registered as businesses hence official wholesalers won't deal with them.

So they start searching for a Secret Agent in China who will supply products they need for half price.

It is very difficult to find legit suppliers, and anyone who says it's not is some chump who got lucky, or somebody who desperately needs attention at all times (usually the latter)...Either way avoid their advice like the plague. Don't waste your money on information you can find yourself! Why would companies who are looking for your business be hiding from you? LOL! If you insist on buying info, I would go with salehoo. It's cheap, it's a 1 time fee, and there is a money back option. I obtained a login from a friend I met through eBay. Within days I found a great supplier of 80gb Ipods, and they have been doing absolutely great on eBay, and ioffer. My case is not typical, but there is good chance that you will find a deal if you spend some time with it. Good luck!
