Have you tried doing a google search for appearal wholesalers? When I started my jewelry business, http://www.halfmoonsales.com, I did a google search for wholesalers in general. Man did that bring up a number of listings. So i narrowed it down to jewelry wholesalers, but still it was a bunch of listings. Then I tried sterling silver wholesalers, it brought up a lot of listings, but not near as many as wholesalers in general. So figure out exactly what product you want to sell, then do a google search for that paticular wholesaler. This will require a little of your time to do the searches, but it is free!

If you are looking to sell more than just one or two different products, try searching for dropshippers in the same way.

Some wholesalers will require that you have a tax id number. This can be obtained from your states dept. of revenue. A wholesaler who requires a tax id number is a true wholesaler. A wholesaler who sells to the public is most likely not giving you true wholesale prices.

If you need more help about this subject, you can email me at steve@halfmoonsales.com, I will be glad to help.

Good luck in your new venture!
