Question
Hi
I was just wandering how to find out about wholesale sources in countries such as the Philippines and China so that I can get some contacts to buy cheaper electronic products from.
Do you know anything about buying wholesale products to sell on ebay?
regards

Answer
Many of the large sellers of electronic equipment ARE the wholesalers that you would buy from.  This is how they can sell so cheap.  

If you want to try and find wholesalers in your area, you may have to do some detective work.  Look for outlet stores, lot end buyers and the like that may be buying large quantities of electronics at bargain pricing, but not interested in placing the ads on Ebay.  Many of these companies don't even advertise, but they do have listings in the yellow pages.  

If you live in an area where this may not prove viable, consider getting someone from a larger city nearby to send you copies of pages of their yellow pages phone book.  Lastly, of course, try searching for them on the internet.  Though many do not have websites, they are affiliated in large groups of like businesses and advertise on like websites.
