Wholesale appliances ­ How to sell to retailers If you are looking for a new business opportunity, buying liquidation stock, wholesale appliances or refurbished appliances and selling them to retailers is a great idea to start making money on your own. To put it simply, it means you buy products at low prices from wholesalers and sell them at higher ones to retailers. Finding a wholesaler to supply the goods you want to sell should be easy if you search through online wholesale directories like Wholesalecenter.com or you could go directly to an online B2B Trading platform like Britcomdirect.com, where you can find a wide range of refurbished and wholesale appliances, from trusted brands. You’ll have to ask yourself what types of stores you want to approach when starting this kind of business. First you have to carry out sustained research and make sure there is a high demand for the products you want to sell to retailers. Search for a more high­end product that will surely sell in the stores in order to obtain a bigger profit.

As a beginners hint, you can start with wholesale appliances or refurbished appliances, from famous and trusted brands, since these products are always in demand. Food preparation appliances, vacuum cleaners, espresso machines and white goods are just a few examples that can help you in your research for products. A higher range of products is available on websites like Liquidation.com and Drakus.com. At first, you should make a few tries with smaller lots of liquidation stock or refurbished appliances to see how it works and only after that decide on your retailer. Make sure your wholesaler doesn’t have a minimum amount buy clause and fairly negotiate the prices for the wholesale lots. This is an important part of the process, because it will determine if you are going to get a fair price that will bring you a stable income and also allow you to be competitive.


Trade shows and markets are a great opportunity to target appropriate retailers and choose the right one for your business. Don’t forget that retailers are constantly on the lookout for new products and to attract new customers, so you will be the right person in the right place. Also, visiting potential retailers’ stores that might be interested in your liquidation stock or wholesale appliances, and doing some research can help you identify what the store needs so you can try to fulfill it.

Consider maintaining a constant contact with retailers once you have started your collaboration and make sure that delivery is always on time. Nurturing a good professional relationship with retailers is very important because it raises the odds of repeat business from that retailer, it will provide you free advertising and it will allow you to reach a large customer base.
