With regards to the questions about Hong Kong, yes there are legitimate dealers there. So perhaps I need to ammend the article to say "No asia, except possibly Hong Kong".

That being said, the questions about dropshippers, generally im going to be honest with you I don't really think you can make profit doing it. Not only do you have to have a rock-solid dependable dropshipper, you have to find good pricing.

I don't know the pricing on www.shopster.com , but I know most newbies looking to dropship are trying to become ebay millionaires. I'm gonna be honest with you, there will be probably a lot of people selling what you are trying to dropship for cheaper than what you are buying it from these dropshippers.

For example, many authorized dealers of phones use places like ebay, amazon etc. to liquidate excess stock from their retail store fronts etc. These guys are buying it WAY CHEAPER than you will be from a dropshipper. Also a lot of people dealers will dump phones at cost or even a slight loss, so in all honesty, I hate to be a downer but you will probably get eaten alive in these mainstream auction sites.

The guy looking for Nokia mobiles in Australia, there are distributors there in Australia, though you are shipping these to India? Please clarify which models you are looking for and quantities and perhaps I can point you in the right direction. A lot of it will depend if you are looking for US/Asian/Euro spec phones etc.

Just some food for thought.

Jabong good post. i would agree 100% on what you say. I can not tell you how many times i tell people over and over this.

if you are really looking or iphones then i do have some companies you can talk with. They are legitimate and can provide you with iphones. I can tell you do not go to them looking for large quantities they will assume you are not serious.

The only thing i would add is dont go expecting to find someone with 30,000 or 40,000 in stock somehwere. It is not going to happen. One of my distributors said if you believe you will pick up 40k anywhere of a phone then they have some ocean front property in arizona.

The only place you will find super large quantities of phones is through a distributor.
