Buried Truth: Finding true wholesale product suppliers

A wholesaler sells products to business owners at rates substantially below retail prices, usually in bulk, so that business owners may sell the products for the wholesalers. “Wholesale” is a word that gets tossed around all too easily these days, especially online. There are lots of people posing as wholesalers who really do not have prices that can be labeled as wholesale, when they are actually near to the regular retail cost. Business owners must be careful to make sure that they are not getting ripped off by so-called wholesalers who are in fact making their money off of business owners who don’t know better.

The best way to determine if the business you are working with is really a wholesaler is to look at their prices. If the prices are not substantially below retail level, then they are obviously not true wholesale product suppliers. Go to the original supplier of your product to see what the original price of that product is. Ebay suggests going out to buy a product from a retail supplier, then looking up the wholesaler information on their site. By contacting the original seller’s outside sales department, you can find out how much a wholesaler would sell the product for and how you can obtain that product. Do not make any rash commitments, however – wholesalers often ask sellers to sell enormous amounts of a particular item.
