Im currently looking for manafactuers for electronics like mp3 players, cell phones, digitals cameras, memory cards, ect ect. Im trying to cut out all middle men & buy straight from the manafactuer themseleves. Im having a HARD ass time trying to accomplish this. I know I may not get to buy DIRECTLY from the source which would be lovely but if I can just get some stuff from the next in line then I may still be able to make a lil profit. Ive been getting at Da Don but tha brotha's pretty busy & I aint tryin to keep buggin him so just wonderin if anyone else may know of some spots. Thanks.

It is possible to work with the manufacturerers, but you will need to break through their red tape and build a relationship with an internal contacts abroad. Unfortunately, you typically don't get an invitation unless you're already pulling down $80-300K in annual tickets. Best place to start is partner programs... typically run around 15-30% off MSRP. If you move enough product, you'll get someone's attention and maybe they'll be willing to do a little horse trading with you.

Good luck fam.

yah, im already a member of alibaba.com ...ive been talkin with ALOT of manfactuers from there but this one chinese lady had contacted me, & after a while of just going back & forth with me she started to open up a bit & let some good info go. I was looking at some Sandisk Ultra 2GB SD cards for digital camera's or camcorders. Everything on there looked legit & their business had been verified & they had a trusted stamp of approval. Well when I got to talking to her she finally let me know that all of thier products are OEM & basically they have a person there that just applies ALL of the little details to thier product to make it an EXACT clone of the ORIGINAL SD cards...The also hadIpod nano's for sell & she sent me a behind the scenes type picture of how its packaged, what comes in the box & im not lyin when I say that I seen ABSOLUTELY no difference in a original but she said that if she was me that she wouldnt trust that because they aint that reliable but she said that thier SD cards were really good & if I had a company logo then they can put my logo on there but I said nah, that I'd rather just have it look like an authentic Sandisk card

I can get the Sd cards from her at $37.50 each & then resell them on ebay at like $50 but Im not sure if thats a large enough profit when its all said & done.

Pharoah, do you have any info. on some partner programs homie? Like i was tellin Da Don, I have about 10-15 g's that im looking to flip legitly without having to stand out on a corner, u feel me. Im already a powerseller on ebay ( street_dealz ) so my feedback is there... Just need some more product


A lil about myself, I feel I have a good business mind & have already tryed jumping into the clothing game. www.gentlemensdepot.com is my site but the demand for dress clothes isnt to high although I have already made my money back plus more but it took me like 5 months, thats why Im letting everything go for soo cheap at the moment just to get rid of it. Last year I refinanced my house & pulled out like $120,000 in equity & I turned around & bought a few rental properties at 100% financing ( which are already rented out now ), fixed up the house I live in now where I still have around $150,000 in equity, went & bought all that clothing for a few thousand, & took care of some bills but now with this last little lump, i wanna flip it to tha best of my ability so thats why im in need of yall help so I can get led in tha right direction & if yall ever need a favor in return then I gotchu.

Visit your Chamber of Commerce and find out if anybody in your area is importing from China...they don't have to be in your field all they have to do is set you str8 on some things..eventually you will have to go there and make the contacts yourself, I know because I'm in a similar situation with my business and I'm looking at going to Mexico to find suppliers because thats the only way I can sell to major retailers and still make some cash. Just for the record, if you succeed in this and get into the big leagues you are looking at a million dollars on your 1st sell to chains like Target and Walmart so no matter how hard it is at 1st you should do what you gotta do to get in the game.

Ima take u up on that advice homie ...but on a side note, has anyone ever messed with alibaba.com? I mean ive been talkin with peeps who are gold suppliers as well as trust pass members but im still leary on it. Can anyone vouch for doing business on that site?

Brotha, you need to go to alibaba.com That site lists CHINESE MANUFACTURERS. If you're looking for Japanese brand names, your best bet is to contact a DISTRIBUTOR.

I'm sure there's some legit people on alibaba.com but when you are dealing with something this serious you want to make sure your shit is right, you want to see it being made. That means going to the source and making sure they are taking care of business not getting info over the net from people you don't know or trust. You can go to the Chamber or SBA and get a list of people that are doing what you want to do and let them guide you through the process.

Dawg, All I’m saying is to be very careful when dealing with the Chinese’s and that site. Are there some genuine business people on that site? I’m sure there are. If you can afford to travel there, even better! You can see them face to face and get a better feel to what is going on. However, you are still on your own.
Stay up! LICK !
