finding wholesalers/manufacturers

[mattZkplz]

Hi RFDers,

I'm planning on buying goods, more specifically softball bats, on bulk, and reselling them. I was wondering if you guys know of a wholesaler, or a manufacturer in and around GTA that have high-end quality bats, such as Easton, Worth, etc. Is there a site like globalsources.com, or alibaba.com, that has a list of Canadian/American wholesalers that actually sells brand name goods?

Thanks,

Good question, I am wondering the same, but for a totally different field of goods.

liquidation.com ?

They have some wholesales.

liquidation.com is more or less a wholesale that sells a bundle of different types of goods, but thanks anyway Tehz. I'm looking for a wholesalers that specializes in sporting goods that I can buy bats in bulk.

It depends on what you mean by bulk. You can import them from china (www.alibaba.com) but you are looking at getting at least a 20ft container. Which is a very very large investment.

Ask a National Sports manager about this. I'm sure he will tell you where he got his wholesales from and that way you can buy bulks. :)

ROFL yea right. As if that would work.

i could try it aimfox, but i highly doubt it'll work. Retail stores, like National, Sportschek, etc, all get their bats directly from the manufacturer if I'm not mistaken.. I dont think they actually wholesale.
