UK-Traders UK Wholesale guide Ebook

Introduction.

The directory is current and I update it regularly. The last update was completed in June 2002. I am confident that all of the businesses contained within the list are still trading and if you find otherwise, please let me know.

This e-Book was originally written in 2001 and was based on my experience as a seller on online auctions - I have been trading on online auctions since 1998. Since publishing the first edition, the manual has been updated several times and is now used by all manner of different traders, from online auction sellers, to market traders to car-boot fair sellers to traditional retail outlets. The e-Book is packed full of UK wholesalers, many of whom I have used or do use on a regular basis. If you want to buy stock to sell at a profit, then this e-Book is for you.

There is no doubt that considerable profit can be made by selling on online auctions such as eBay or at markets and car boot fairs - if you are prepared to apply the necessary effort. I have traded successfully since 1998 and with particular stock lines I have managed to make sales of over ?500 per week consistently, working just a couple of hours per day. Don't get me wrong, selling on the internet is not a way of getting rich quick (regardless of what others may tell you), but with a bit of effort, you can make regular and worthwhile profits. Many of the product lines sold by wholesalers in this e-Book can be sold at 100% mark up, so you can double your money - in fact, when I sell on eBay, if I can't at least double my money on a product, I don't bother selling it!

Obviously one of the main problems with trading is having a good supplier of quality stock. The companies contained in this manual can sell you a massive range of goods and I am sure that there is something here to interest everyone.

At the time of writing (June 2002), it was possible to purchase DVD's from as little as ?3.20, mobile phone covers from 30p, jet flame lighters from ?1.10, DVD players from ?40.00, 28 inch televisions from ?50.00, discman players from ?3.50, Playstation games from ?3.80, Electronic Body Building Belts from ?2.45 etc etc etc. With a bit of effort, everyone should be able to find something to sell.

Note that whilst all of the companies in this directory are wholesalers, many of them do not have any minimum order whatsoever and those that do often have a minimum purchase of just ?50 to ?100! The days of not being able to buy from wholesalers are long gone - the industry is highly competitive and these businesses want your money, they want to sell to you. I have NEVER had any problem purchasing from the wholesalers that I have used and I have always openly admitted that I don't have a shop/market stall etc and that I just sell part-time on the internet. They have always been happy to sell to me and if I don't order for a couple of months, I often get phone calls from them to see why I haven't been buying.

One last thing, when you speak to suppliers in this e-Book, please remember to tell them you found their contact details in the 'UK-Trader's UK Wholesale Manual'.

I hope you find the information contained in this e-Book useful, it has taken many hours to compile and will save you a huge amount of time.

Good Luck!!
