Question

Sources of merchandise in wholesale market

Answer 1

Source 1

Brands. The brands themselves

will often have below wholesale pricing

on the items that they were not able to sell

or simply had too much of. Many brands from

Tahari to Calvin Klein to R&M Richards need to

liquidate excess merchandise and clear out

past season products. If you are a serious

buyer you can possibly get some really good

below wholesale deals.

Designers. Even the best designers

will sometimes meet market resistance for their

newest creations. Or perhaps the designer

produced too many dresses of a certain style

and now needs to find a buyer for them.

Get in touch with designers and

find out what deals you can make with them.

Factories. Clothing factories will often produce

merchandise in anticipation of future sales.

When those future sales do not materialize

they will need to liquidate that clothing. Factories

can also have clothing from cancelled orders

which they need to sell.

Department store overstock. You would be
surprised at the quantity of merchandise that

department stores liquidate every week. Department

stores buy a great deal of merchandise because

they want to have stores full of merchandise so

that they can attract customers. But since they

have so much merchandise they realistically

will not be able to sell it all and therefore

must liquidate it.

Online retailers. Online retailers

get a large amount of returns from

their customers for various reasons.

You can purchase those returns

at a fraction of the original 

wholesale price.
