i have no clue man, my suggestion to you is..
watch ebay/amazon/craigslist/ect for good deals. watch local stores/pawnshops for deals aswell.
also, i would assume that you could find things cheaper in cuba than in the states, ive never been to cuba though so i am probably wrong.
good luck with your endeavor man, if your business blows up and your rolling in the green, remember your friend kyace!

Unless you have a business license and federal/state tax id you won't be able to buy from legitimate wholesalers. Even if you do have that, you don't get much of a discount unless you're buying pallet quantities of products (usually 50+), and the prices you can charge for some products (Apple, MS) are set for you by the manufacturer so you won't be able to compete with the big boys unless you're selling the stuff under the table or as a personal sale on ebay/CL. If you're buying stuff in small quantities, chances are newegg will have the best price you can get, and in that case why bother doing all that work if people can just buy it from newegg instead of you?
What is your business going to be, you selling the items from the trunk of your car to people for cash, or sales using ebay or craigslist over the internet?

In that case, I'll just offer two things: don't pay for those "wholesaler list" things all over ebay, they're a scam, and exporting products to another country to sell (especially electronics) will be too expensive to compete if you are paying duties and it's considered smuggling or black marketing if you don't. There's a reason why things in the stores are so expensive and why they're considerably cheaper buying them out of someone's trunk.

There is a wholesaler in phoenix called, DBL and they have decent prices on stuff, but you have to be a certified retailer of some sort and have a business licenses. My dad has one and is already a retailer so I was able to get cheaper things like usb drives, 3rd party xbox controllers, goldplated firewire cables and other little things like that. I wanted to get a business license myself because it is fairly easy to get in phoenix and open up an under the table cash-only facebook electronics blackmarket. but when it came down to it, there was no profit involved. I could get stuff for friends for like 10 bucks cheaper but they would have to wait a few days while i went down to the warehouse and waited for them to pull the object off their shelves. in the end it wasnt worth it for any of us. and I would be losing money on everything.
And all the cool things like apple ipods and stuff like that i would have to apply to be a certified seller by Apple. My dad was denied and he already is a retailer...It wasnt worth it.
Also Shyda, i would probably avoid international imports unless you can do it all illegally...otherwise it wont be worth it. But if you need any imports from Japan...you know where to find me

you give it to me. Then I take your money and the money i took from hundreds of other people and I invest it in a fake charity called the Human Fund. Then I take the money I borrowed from the other people and pay you back plus 150% interest. Then I take the rest of the money and flee the country. They we are both rich. Too bad for those other fools... ... ... Anyone want to invest in my Ponzi Scheme...I mean, my legitimate charity?
