What is a good way to find good wholesale sites?

To reduce the chances of getting ripped off, one can use a rather expensive membership site's Certified Wholesale Supplier database at WorldWideBrands.com, they also have some decent free booklets for ebay sellers worth getting. Saleshoo.com is a New Zealand based? kinda clone site.

You should also check if you are near any inventory liquidation outlets where you buy pallet loads of old styles, customer return, etc. dumped by large chain stores.

Those in NY and LA can buy direct from their fashion districts, a business license is essential to get wholesale rates.
