There are "Legitimate Wholesalers" its just buyers don't have "Legitimate Expectations". Nowhere is this more true in electronics. I am a legit dealer of mobile phones, and I believe I have good "Legit Wholesale" pricing as they seem to be cheaper than those listed on some lists I've seen. However I always get the newbie saying "well if thats my cost, how am I supposed to make any money???" These are the guys trying to buy iphones at $200 and N95s at $400. Give me a break. Take your money and go to a strip club / bar and blow it all, it'll be money better spent than Western Unioning it to China chasing some pipe dream.

Although many of them existm you are missing out on billions of other sellers who can offer more choice and ulimately probably more profit.

Business is without risk.

That's a very shallow outlook, especially in business.

What if you go to a USA wholesaler, buy the goods, get home, sell them and then find out 90% of them are faulty? What you going to do if the wholesaler has spent all your money? Beat him up? That will get your money back Worse still what if he has gone out of business?

There are risks with any purchase, not just losing your money overseas.

If you deal with a genuine overseas company you will pay your money and receive your order.
