Default Gem Wholesale

I was looking for some ex-catologue products and found Gem Wholesale.

Has anyone got some experience with this company. It looks very interessting to sell it on ebay.
But I don't know if the company is okay.

Who can help me out? Before I order something and is al crap.

I have read there terms and conditions and I believe that anyone can buy from them.
It also states in their F.A.Q. that you can buy from them as a non registered trader.

So I believe that is very easy to buy from them, but I don't know if the products which they sell are okay.

As above it's a legit business. As with all of these types of deals it's a lottery.

I knew a person who bought on a regular basis. Sometimes he would make a good profit but he would also lose money on some pallets if the items were particulary bad quality.

It made me smile when I read all the messages about Gem Distribution because I have an account with them and it made me feel special when rheabs said "one deal with the cream of retails"

You've made my day!! lol, sorry I thought I'd add that in.

There wouldn't be much margain in it if you only bought a carton.

As I said, buying a pallet is really hit and miss. From experience you normally get more 'good' pallets then 'bad', but it really is the luck of the draw.

The other thing to take into consideration is that if you are buying a pallet of electrical items then you need to shift them quickly as the true value is always falling. Don't take the RRP as the actual retail price as they can be old and outdated.
