Hey everyone. I'm trying to find new places to purchase products to sell online. I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with buying items from Ollies? It's a store that buys a lot of products that are left overs and out of season stuff. They're prices are pretty good but I'm not sure if I should try. Anybody else try Ollies?

What kind of stuff do you currently sell online? I would base your future purchases on how you are doing now. Will you make a profit based on current selling prices? Check out ebay or other auction sites before you buy anything. That way you know what kind of price you have to get your stuff for in order to make a profit.
Any store can be a good place. Look for clearance items or special purchases. The key to making money by reselling items is knowing your market. Do your research about what kinds of items you want to sell. Some things simply dont sell well online! Other things sell for so cheap that you cant purchae them in a store to resell for a profit.
Ollies or Aldi's or Big Lots are great places to find good deals. Kmart, Walmart, and Kohl's all have great clearances, so check them out too!

Honestly, I have no idea how to find a market because I have never done any selling online. I would think the best way to find a market is to find an existing one and see what goes.
Sorry I couldnt be more help. I hope you can find someone else to answer your questions.

I have shopped at Ollies quite a bit but never to resell the items...I usually go there to shop for early Christmas presents because they have a lot of great items for cheap. We have a large family so for me it is the better way to go.
I think you are on the right track though trying to buy items that are good but you can get them for cheap, that way you can make a profit off of them. Have you ever tried a bulk store like Sams Club? I know that they have a lot of great items and you can buy them cheap in bulk so that you can resell them for a bigger profit.
