Access to suppliers evens shopping playing field

Being an Internet professional who is immersed in online content for at least 12 hours every day, it’s hard to remember a time when knowledge wasn’t a click away, you had to pick up the (corded!) phone to call someone, and you shopped in actual stores.

Of all the boons of the Internet, online shopping is one of the largest and most profitable of all the industries. Shopping is no longer about one price or one retailer - even for the most obscure items, shoppers have options.

Settling nicely into this niche is the new Secret Wholesale Info website (Click here), which offers weekly updates of wholesale and drop shipping merchants selling mostly high-end and name brand products. More importantly the site provides a rating system, so visitors can track where the best deals are (and those that should be avoided).

This, in fact, is the published Mission Statement of the site’s founder. He wanted to help shoppers explore their options whilst also avoiding getting ripped off (a scene, unfortunately, all too common online). eBay is now a drop shipping haven, so why not give the average consumer access to these same resources so they can make their own purchasing decisions?

It’s a pretty noble idea, and so far it seems to be working. Clicking through, the site has some great links to wholesale Valentine’s Day ideas (discounted perfume - a huge industry in itself - and jewelry) and “boys’ toys” like aftermarket auto parts and electronics direct from China.

Whether you’re trying to start your own eBay selling empire or simply want to buy bulk goods and avoid the scams, the Secret Wholesale Info site is a great place to start.
