How to learn about buying wholesale and selling for profit?

S: How to learn about buying wholesale and selling for profit?
I’m 17 and I’m really interested in the whole idea of buying items in bulk/wholesale and selling them on for profit.

I have no idea where to start, where to buy wholesale goods from, just basically all about selling on wholesale.

Any books/websites where I can learn?

here’s an excellent website to buy wholesale products. https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=wholesale&Country=&CatId=0&IndexArea=product_en&ssk=y

Also try https://www.ebay.com/sch/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=wholesale&_sacat=See-All-Categories
You can narrow the categories on the left side menu.

Some info on buying wholesale and reselling can be found at

The link above is not a referral link from me. It’s the only way to get to the page.

Here’s a great book you can get. https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Shipping-Sellers-Complete-Without/dp/1430311096/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250197395&sr=1-9

Also try your local library for free books on wholesaling. Reselling. Drop shipping. ETC.. Talk to your librarian. They are immensely helpful.

I hope this helps.

The wholesale website i think is nice, 7 Days Return / 15 Exchange Policy is really good.
Help it helps.
