How to Find Wholesale Items

To make a profit on items sold, retailers purchase wholesale products. Wholesale products are sold in large quantities at lower prices than retail. Retailers must possess a state-issued vendor's license or business license. Wholesalers will need license information prior to selling items at wholesale prices. Once obtained, a business license allows the holder to purchase products from any wholesale source including manufacturers.

Instructions

    • 1

      Ask friends, associates and family members that are professionals about their wholesale connections. Retailers, florists, contractors and other professionals have access to wholesale sources.

    • 2

      Look in the phone book for wholesale products, liquidation stock and surplus merchandise. Using an online phone directory will yield several results.

    • 3

      Shop at local warehouse clubs for discount pricing on a large variety of products.

    • 4

      Use search engines to locate wholesale vendors. Run specific searches such as dealer log-in jewelry, dealer log-in electronics or licensed retailers only.

    • 5

      Join associations or groups. Often group members have access to wholesale sources and can combine resources to purchase in bulk.

Tips & Warnings

  • Slightly irregular items can often be bought at deep discounts.

  • Instant access to real wholesale websites is usually not allowed.
