Nobody is going to hand out their supplier list to you free of charge.

You have to do your own homework and find out.

Good luck!

Hi

Good to have you here.

I don't think you'll get many positive responses to your query, however. Folks here are not known for sharing sources.

You can't blame them, actually. After all, you could then become competition to them, for a start.

But it's really much more than that. Most doing any business have been through the blood. sweat and tears stages and feel you should have to suffer, as well. They have done lousy deals, probably lost some money, bought source information and just learned the hard way.

So, the thinking goes, why turn around an hand you the benefits of their efforts on a silver platter. Nothing personal, but you could become a competitor.

There is plenty on the forum about how to do many things. There is a lot to be learned about how not to do things. But you are going to have to dig it out, no one is going to take you by the hand and lead you step by step through the maze.

Good luck!

PC's in my opinion is a no go area unless you have a lot of money. As you can easily pick up a good PC for $600 in PC world.

Agreed. Prices are going right down, how much was a laptop fives years ago? Look at how much they are now.

That's not to mention how many other companies are doing the exact same thing you plan to do.

Look for a niche within computing, there will be better margins there for sure.

as you said you are new ,so don't say sorry .
the following is my some comments for your reference :
1.if your goods not the brand goods ,and the Qty is over 1X20', then ,you need sourcing B2B,How to say, if your goods is yourself brand ,then ,the good price good supplier must can be have .
2.if your goods is the brand goods, and the Qty is not much ,then, the will have some troubles in your sourcing process .
3.someone have the good supplier in their eyes ,when your get the same supplier, maybe they are not good supplier in your eyes .
of course ,when your sourcing some supplier ,when your need know they are legal or not ,your can show this website .everyone will give your advice .
good luck.
