I know that this has been asked several times, but I am coming to my wits end here!! I am about to loose my home, and I scour the internet hours upon hours searching for a legit wholesaler. Everytime I think I found one and I google to research it, guess what? I end up on this forum. Can some one please point me in the right direction? I mean, if you cant tell me the name, thats fine, maybe PM me any info about where I can go to find something. I just went through lots of dropshippers, and wholesale lists, and if I spend $300 for a list of dropshippers and wholesalers, and they dont have designer handbag I will flip! I barely have that to begin with, what do I do? I keep finding that the 'lists' you buy are bull, and I dont want to get ahold of fakes...I am so stressed..
I am losing all hope and I dont know where to go or where to look.
Someone please help with any information, any little bit will help, just a place I can go find my own, or something..

Did you try a search of TPF they should have several threads.

lgreen23 · Oct 23rd, 2009, 04:57 PM

I did, and the titles of the threads did not seem to have anything to do with wholesaling. I was hoping maybe even a wholesaler them selves would let me know, so that way I could start spending money wit them! I dont want to sell replicas, I want to sell authentic purses,and there are too many places out there that have fakes.

I spent time looking through the ones that popped up under wholesale, and some of the threads are hundreds of pages long, I dont have a clue which page might have info on them. I was up til 2 am searching and found nothing but two places that sell real purses, but not at wholesale, only retail..

Im bummed out ....
:(

I understand people not wanting to help out because that means more competition, I totally get that, but I feel like I will never find it unless I get a hint of where to look. There all these places with 'directory lists', but I just had my credit card info stolen and full of unauthorized charges from some of the places I went to. I cant keep losing money for BS, I am hard up enough as it is. I only have enough to invest a little to start small.

I dont want to be huge, I am just doing this while I am in college..I just need money to pay bills, not get rich..

There are places that are reputable like world wide brands, and they charge 300 for a membership, but after research I found out that they dont have access to designer bags, thats bites!!

I have sold some of my purses on ebay, and I dont want to resort to selling my good LV, I am already selling a old Fendi.

I collect Coach too, and I am not about to start getting rid of them yet,I havent been able to buy as many as I want! But I have been selling what I can stand to let go of.

Wholesalers sell fake bags and the PF and its members do not support sales of fakes.

As for "wholesalers of authentic bags," they simply do not exist.

Designers sell their merchandise directly to authorized retailers (e.g. NM, Saks, Barneys, etc.) and not to individuals for resale.

Sorry but you're barking up the wrong tree here.

so basically, when I find all these purses discounted, brand new, its fake? All the new ebay purses are fake? Whats the point of selling on ebay , or buying if they are all fake? You might as well buy retail!

even the ones they pull of the shelf and sell as lots in liquidation?

Geez, this sux!

Unless it's an authorized retailer discounted bags are almost always fake. Not all bags on ebay are fake, but many of them are.

I don't know what brands you're specifically talking about, but not many designer bags are sold as lots and liquidated.

It does suck, BIG TIME. But no, there's no secret underground wholesale place to buy LV, Chanel, etc. . . they control who sells and how VERY tightly. Neiman's, Saks, etc. . . can't even sell them online.
If they were wholesaling, we'd ALL be buying, trust me!
