    Is there a way i can order electronics (ipods, cameras, cd players, etc) cheap enough to make a profit selling them online? Or how would you do it?

    You could buy a bulk lot of electronics off ebay or something, but the market for electronics online is pretty competitive so I wouldn't really recommend it.

    Yes, it is potential profit business . You can buy lots from China factory at wholesale price and resell in your place.
    I am glad to help if you are interested.

    You can utilize dropishipping method.
    By doing this,you need to keep the stock.
    When customer order ipod from you,then you order it from dropshiper company.
    They will handle all the delivery job.

    Dropshipping is a good business but when it comes to buying something you should know some good dropshippers.But thats the hard part.Nobody shares it with you except for a few sites that are popular.And people will try to sell you some dropshipper lists.You will buy them only to see that they dont work or it wont be profitable.So it's really hard unless a guru comes and shares it with you...

    You can't find cheap ipods unless you become an authorized Apple merchant.

    Try China. Most electronics are manufactured in there. You could get a huge discount if you buy in bulk. Just a word of caution, make sure that you buy from legit sellers. Probably, a referral would be best in this situation.

    Maybe you can try to cooperate with any Chinese supplier,it is cheaper than other countries.And China is the biggest electronic factory.

    I have been marketing product for 20+ years and i know there is now money in electronics unless you are on a grand scale.

    I know it's tempting because electronics are so freggin cool and it would be fun to sell them...Unfortunately, there is littler room for mark-up $$$

    I tried selling electronics in the past...very difficult to sell. There's always someone selling at a lower price than you...usually for less than what you paid for the item at wholesale!
