Secret To Getting Handbags To Resell

If your looking for Coach, Prada, Gucci, or Dooney Bourke handbags to resell on ebay or overstock.com you may have a hard time finding a distributor. Ebay power sellers have this knowledge but they will be hard pressed to share this information with you. But, I am going to share their secrets with you. There are three techniques to finding a reputable wholesale distributor of handbags.

First, and this maybe one of the harder techniques discussed. Develop a relationship with a brick and mortar store that's selling the brand handbag you want to sell and if they don't have a presence on ebay, offer to bring their business to ebay for a share of the profit. This can become a win-win situation for both of you. One, you will have gotten an unlimited supply of authentic handbags to sell on ebay and for your supplier, you have just increased their business. Offer yourself as the expert of ebay. You will create the website templates and maintain the ebay site. Now you will have to work out the details as to shipping. I suspect your distributor would want to handle the shipping and that's great for you. No stock!!! Just collect the money and send the order to your distributor for shipping.

Second, find a middleman. There are actually middlemen out there that will find you the product you are looking for if you have the right price. Now most of these middlemen will want you to buy in bulk. In bulk means minimum of 100 units or up at a time. But the more units you can purchase the better prices you can negotiate. Now don't expect to get handbags that are up to date. Te bags are authentic but these handbags usually come from the past season, over production, or close out items. Don't get discouraged with that. These bags still sell like hot cakes on ebay and overstock auctions. Middlemen can be found on the Internet. But be careful. Always look for authentic handbags. If the middleman does not have authentic handbags they usually omit authentic from their sales Internet pages. Do your research on these middlemen. Check their about me pages and their guarantee.

Last but not least, go directly to the wholesale source. Go over to Italy, New York, France and purchase the closeout items yourself and hire a shipping company that specializes in shipping overseas and dealing with US customs. This is where you will get the best discounts. But you will need to fork over an large sum of money. But you will most likely make 2 times the amount paid once you get this merchandise back to market.

hi scott,

you can always go back to my first suggestion though it's tough. having a brick & mortar business partner will guarantee you an unlimited supply of authentic handbags. try to build relationship with them and offer to help them to market their products online. Both of you share the revenue.
