There are many people who never pay retail. They understand that buying products wholesale can be done, even by the little guy. Yes, you’ll hear people talk about wholesale products and sources, dropshipping, minimum orders, minimum quantities, etc., But the truth is, there are smart people who know how to save the retail markup on almost anything they want to buy.

You really can buy it wholesale if you learn how to work in the manufacturer, middleman, agency, retail outlet arena.

The huge majority of products available today are not retailed by the actual manufacturer. There are a few exceptions, but not enough to concern you.

Almost any product you find in a large retail store like a Target, Wal-mart or Best Buy can be bought wholesale.

Some product lines are easier to source than others. The question is “Is it worth your time to learn how to buy it wholesale?”

The average retail markup on consumer products is 20% to 200%. Saving that kind of after tax money can make a huge difference in your lifestyle.

Sometimes, being able to buy it wholesale means the difference between a good product, and buying the top of the line item. It’s a no-brainer if you can buy the best product available (at wholesale price) for what everyone else is paying for the average product at retail price.

In my humble opinion, taking the time to learn how to buy it wholesale is a good investment.
