The Wholesale Forums

[frytrix]

I want to begin selling wholesale electronics in my school for a profit. But I don't know how or where to start. I have an idea of selling things like iPods and popular phones like the RAZR, but I don't know where to find affordable reliable suppliers.

I would really appreciate some help. If someone could list some suppliers and tell me how much money I may need to start out.

Sorry but your heading in the wrong direction. First of all, selling consumer electronics is not a good way to start. You'll find it difficult to trace reliable wholesalers and even if you do come across one, you'll have to buy in big quantity's. Have you conducted any research to see if anyone in your school wants to buy iPods or Mobile Phones? Would anyone be willing to bring in £200 + into school and risk getting the money or product stolen? You should think about these kind of things first before looking for suppliers. Remember research is the key to everything.

If I was you I'd just but cheap MP3/4 players etc off eBay and sell them at school. I used to love school (when I turned up), lots of money to be made at breaktime selling hot dogs

Cellphones and ipods are a big hit in my school and I've seen people sell used ones for good amounts of money. I just want to get in the game because i've seen people turn a large profit.

Is this even allowed in school? Im sure they wouldn't approve because of the potential for theft and muggings.
