You didn't mentioned whether you have to make it as online or offline. Go for ebay related sites if online.

i tried smc. the whole idea sounded fun but i found that their products were really crappy. i made a few sales but most people said it was not very good quality. so for the sake of my rep, i quit selling their junk. the mark up  for their products is way to much for a wholesaler. although if you want to try and get into the sales business, smc mightt be able to give you a starting point. there are a lot of good products on smc, though they seem to be way too expensive. also ebay is impossibe to sell on with smc. p.s try maxam wholesale they have some nice stuff there. i always have a good time selling their leather gloves around fall.  they also have a good variety of stuff.

How about a workshop where, for a small fee they could learn how and get started, you provide the supplies and let them choose from several different things...they will become involved and hopefully buy their supplies from you. I like using pressed flowers!

Have a look into IKEA.\n\nYou have a novel idea, which i believe will require a lot of resource, from desinger, all the way to manufacuring, warehousing and etc.\n\nYou have to understand the basic principle of RTA furnishing. think through it.\n\nNot discouraing you, but just thought you need to think a little wider and deeper.

Try finding a niche market that nobody else has cornered yet.  The best way to do this is to come up with imiginative new products that you have easy access to.  Ifd you already have good feedback then let me know I I will be happy to make a deal with about supplying such items.

If I were you I would order some from online.  You have so many companies and price ranges to choose from that way.  \n\nGood luck.

Look in your local yellow pages, (yep, a phone book) - many beauty supply stores may not have a net presence.  Stop in, chat with them, ask questions on how they got started - you might even find someone who's looking for a partner or willing to sell the business!

I did this for awhile and did pretty good.  I only did it at Christmas b/c I was in collage at the time.  I had repeat customers that kept me as busy as I wanted to be so I didn't have to advertise.  If you are creative another idea is decorate houses for Christmas...this was hard but very fun and I charged about $40 an hour so the pay is great!  Only bad thing about it was getting everything out of the attic ready to decorate so try to get your customer to do that for you and I never took down b/c I was sick of it all by then but there is great money in that too!!!  Back to the wrapping...try to get your supplies wholesale including boxes and tissue...this helps!  Good luck and have fun!!

First you would have to apply for a business license, before that though you should make sure to really research your items that you sell...or that your rental space will allow you to make a profit.  Its a good idea to make contacts with your suppliers now, that way you can see if its profitable business or something that will stress you out and barely keeping your head above water.

My husband went to Lima, Peru about 15 yrs ago and brought me home some beautiful peices of silver.  They mine silver there and it is extremely reasonable.  Maybe you could try searching the web for some wholesalers out of Peru.  Just a thought.  I didn't understand you to say you were going on-line to sell these, do you have a storefront or what?

You need to contact them and talk to them about becoming a distributor. This is the best way. If you are selling enough, then they may consider you. Keep in mind that they *might* have requirements that you need to meet (i.e. a store, accept credit cards, etc).\n\nCheers!
