Hello ,
My name is Rick and I'm a new member on Salehoo, with all due respect I found a pair of Gucci sunglasses model # 2712 at a 'wholesale' price of $141.85...then I went to EBay and found the same glasses at a 'Buy Now' price of $99.44...is it possible the so-called 'wholesaler' was a MIDDLEMAN that snuck in as a wholesaler???
...would like some feedback
Thank you,
RICK

hey again everyone.. (Hi fudjj...)
just wondering if anyone knows what they mean by the signs that come up stating:
NOW YOU CAN TRADE IN LIQUIDATED STOCK IN THE USA, NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN!
NO SHIPPING CHARGES, NO CUSTOMS FEES, NO PAPER WORK, NO EFFORT, NO HASSLE!
i would love to know...
thanks

Hi Nat,
I'm sure there we will be members able to give you plenty of advice, but it would be better if we knew what country you were in so the advice provided can be pointed more effectively to your particular environment.
Cheers
Hi fudjj,
My country is Australia.

Hi, my name is Natalie and I live in Tasmania/Australia. I am very new to Salehoo. I have been wanting to have my own home based business for years and am finally taking some small steps towards that. I have viewed some suppliers which I have saved to 'my favourite suppliers'. I want to sell a bit of everything, obviously things that ARE in high demand and I would like to be able to make enough money to give up my house keeping job and just work from home.
I have been doing some reading and was wondering if any of you busy people would mind explaining to me what dropshipping, liquidation and closeout is? What is VAT? Do I need an ABN #?
I am very new and have never done this before so forgive me if I ask HEAPS of questions initially. I really want to do this, start up money is low at the moment but my want is HUGE!! Please help.
Kind Regards
Nat

hey jimmy im still trying to find my favorite dropshippers no luck so far got me to this page ???
Hi Daniel. If you can find a reputable liquidator in Australia you will be doing a lot better than I have over the past two years. You won't find Aus liquidators on the net. You may be able to find a liquidator by actually ringing retailer headquarters and asking for the asset disposal manager or similar. However, you will need good start-up capital in order for these people to even take your call. They won't sell you a couple of grand's worth of stuff. It's a lot harder in Australia because the competition is not so fierce as it is in the USA. Most retailers' overstocks will first go to outlet stores and what doesn't sell there generally goes to large market sellers. It's a hard slog to get started in liquidation in Australia - but not impossible if you are thorough in your research and determined in your endeavours. Just keep at it if you come up against a brick wall. Persistence will pay in the end. Good luck
Hi, I recently signed up with Salehoo. I have been reading the forum and have been getting tons of helpful info. My one questions is if I use a drop shipper recommended from this site, do I have to pay any 'sign-up' fees to sell their products?
Thanks
Susie
Any business has a degree of risk attached to it, and the more you invest, the bigger the risk...however that risk is always balanced by the potential reward of course.
Hey Guys,
My name is Daniel, I'm new and reside in Australia. I'm asking a fellow ozy to write back with an answer to my question: Where can I find a reputable liquidator in Aus with similar credentials as macy's liquidators? (everything seems to be in the U.S)
Also I'm thinking of drop-shipping, can anyone give me a good referral or tell me how legaly to use a U.S dropshipper? For example; Do I need a U.S Tax id, U.S Incorporation? etc...
Thanks Heaps.
Daniel.
By the way my hande on ebay is:
rocketdropsipper ( i know, I know, but I cant change it now!, I just got 21 dsr)lol

Hi. I joined Salehoo on the 10th and that night started a Research and analysis lab. I has been going since then and still says pending. Does the analysis lab even work?
Hello Jimmy and other members!
I am a new member to Salehoo and have read your above posting and completley agree with the money being in liquidation. I am glad to read about almost everything in the forum, it is very helpful and the cost of the membership is worth every cent.
But I am a little bit confused after I was reading the above, therefore I hope you could help me and give me some good advices.
First of all I must tell you that I live in Europe. I used to ran a company as a wholesaler of security systems so I have been importing products mainly from US and also from China in more then twenty years so I have some experience from importing.
I sold that company for a long time ago and since 4 years ago I started up selling on e-bay.
I was selling electronics like MP3, cameras etc. and also digital e-books but I could never make any good profit.
To day I am very tired of ebay and I need to find something else to make money at.
I was reading a lot about your advices where you say that ebay is for wholesaler and I agree to that, you recommend to buy from liquidators like yours and I agree to that also but the problem is the high cost of shipping plus 4.6% in duty for the most products except clothes 14% !! and at the top of that 25% in VAT (I’m talking about Sweden now) I guess you agree to me that it’s almost impossible to get any profit out oft that.
It’s very hard to find any liquidators in Europe, I haven’t found anyone yet.
I could also read that you say that drop shipping doesn’t work, maybe you are right again because you don’t have the same control of the products you are selling.
You also recommend signing up for different affiliate programs, do you mean Clickbank or some where else?
I have two ideas now as I hope you could give some good advices so I don’t miss the train again.
1) Make my own e-commerce store but then I have still the problems to find the right product at the right price.
2) I have already signed up as an affiliate at Salehoo and I guess I need to create a landing page before I can start promoting that site.
I know that the most important is to generate traffic to the landing page so I am thinking about to buy Google adwords and pay per click.
Can you recommend any good way to find good affiliates or is Clickbank number one?
It sounds very comfortable to work with affiliate program, no problem with importing, packing shipping etc. But is there really anyone who make good money as an affiliate?
Do you recommend to have more than one program, maybe 5 or 10 at the same time.
If you Jimmy or any other member could give me some good advices I would be more than happy.
Hope to here from you soon.
Thanks
John
Hello,
I am producer of kitchenware and cookware from Italy. I could sell from 200 pcs up to 20000 pcs. can you advice what is the best way for me to start with this site?
Thanks
Ivan
everybody feels your frustration mate, it's just the way it is. If you want an edge on ebay these days you need to be looking at the second hand market or liquidation, which of course isn't that easy here in Oz.
Hi fudjj.
That would be great.
I'm still trying to figure out how to find out when people have posted replies.
My email/MSM is listed in my profile. If anything comes up, please feel free to contact me that way - then at least I'll know I won't have missed it. lol
I am assuming a carton quantity is a large cardboard box? That's what I buy at the moment from my usual suppliers.
I actually started off as a designer/seamstress making one-off & limited-production items, 'Chaos Clothing' is my clothing label.
Then I moved to importing small amounts of clothing different to what I make, to widen my customer base, which has exploded beyond anything I expected - kind of like the Tribble population on Star Trek (original). So it seemed natural to just use the same name for the business.
It appears Goths, Punks, etc. don't let something like a global recession stand in the way of fashion :) I still have a 100% customer return rate - everyone who has ever bought clothing from me once on TradeMe, has continued to buy from me direct, often pre-ordering. Close to half of each stock order I place with my suppliers is made up of customer pre-orders.
TradeMe was a great place to start, but the business has grown too big for it, and it has become an ineffective, expensive and time consuming way to list everything I have. It is still a great place to draw in new customers, but my customer base is just too big now to rely solely on auction sites. I am expecting to get my webstore online next month, which is why I am looking to expand my range of items & suppliers.
Cheers, e-sil
