K I'm a ....., I just re-read your post Fedor.
Yes I could approach them (and maybe I will), but I like the third-party distributor thing better cause I don't need to limit myself to one company's products. centraltrade carries pretty much everything I've ever heard of, so I'd be able to stock a variety of products.
Aren't there other places like that? I can't see that being the only one. Maybe the sellers are just hesitant to reveal their sources and risk creating more competition, which I could understand. If it helps, my immediate plan isn't to start a website. I'd sell for cash in person.
Thanks for the suggestion though Fedor. Next time I'll read more carefully.
