What will I need to start and what are some good places to buy wholesale from? Thank you

Have you established a legitimate business presence? Business name and supporting documents (bank account, etc.) Federal Tax EIN and State Retail Tax credentials (if applicable). These are a must if you are to be taken seriously and a real wholesaler won't even talk to you if you don't have it all together.

I deal in consumer electronics and I went through the expense and (at times) the hassle of legitimizing my company only to find that there are a ton of restrictions for online resellers from most distributors.

Do your homework before investing a lot of money. Anyone who charges you a fee for wholesale sourcing is most definitely not a true wholesale distributor.

You will need to be more specific in what you are doing. Selling/buying/market

Decide which one to do, prepare a business plan and follow it.

I wish you all the best

Are you sure???
This site reeks of self indulgence, monopolizing etc...

Just to quote from the site...

And, as who know me and love me will attest, it would not be mine if I didn't have some of my own links included. There are some links and banners. They are all mine, either to products or other sites of mune, or affiliate links of products I personally endorse.

As mentioned above, it is a labor of love and the membership fees should cover my time. I appreciate any other purchases, but they are not vital to my wellbeing. (However, they may enable me to keep my wife in the MasterCard Hall of Fame.)

I know, it's my site.

And I am sure.

The only people who join are through forums, most much more active with real people, not scammers.

The fact is, tat with over 600 paid members, I have had 2 requests for refunds and one guy said he didn't think it was worth the fee, so I refunded him, even though he did not ask for one.

BTW, it clearly states no refunds, but with 3 out of 637 that's less than one half of one percent dissatisfied. I'll compare that to any ebay rating.

There are some forums with 5 to 18 or so pages discussing this membership site. And many other shorter ones. NOT ONCE has anyone reported a scammer. A few broken links, nut no crooks.

Sorry if it seems self indulgent, I'm simply speaking to the friends I've gathered in 7 years of posting on forums. With over 2,000 posts on some forums, I've got a bit of a following, believe it or not.

I'd be here a lot more if it weren't so full of spam. In fact, I've offered to buy it from the owner, but he seems to want to hang on to all the spam.

It just disappointing to see that not much is professional anymore.

Site owners don't work their sites, they have no respect for grammar.

Members of sites who supposedly have proper businesses, act like children on forums, using sneaky tactics, childish antics etc...

The thing with ebay and all those sites is that its PROFESSIONAL.... and I put a lot of trust and faith in that
