Seattle Man Creates Innovative Website To Expose Wholesale And Surplus Fraud
Besides being a forum that features topics about the best methods and practices of wholesale and surplus suppliers, Surplus.cc ( http://www.surplus.cc/ ) also offers business beginners, as well as established enterprises the opportunity to purchase lifetime promotional advertising for their products or services through the Internet Marketing Association Of Surplus Dealers network..
Washington – March 22 2006 – When consumers think about purchasing a big ticket retail item, or are seeking a consensus opinion about a particular product or service, some will perform their due diligence by turning to web-sites such as: Eopinions.com, Cnet.com, Amazon.com, MySimon.com, and Edmunds.com.
These online resources, in some cases, feature a variety consumer opinions regarding the efficacy of a product, in addition to evaluating whether or not a retail seller has a particularly good customer service record, or the ability to deliver a quality product.
Finding information about the retail side of the product chain is well defined. However, researching and understanding the companies and distributors that actually supply retailers with the products that we see everyday can become an exercise in futility.
If you ever considered starting your own resale business, aspire to be the next Amazon.com, or are thinking about becoming involved with merchandise marketing, then you will also need to locate companies that can supply you with products that you can buy - and then resell.
Commonly referred to as Business To Business (B2B) suppliers, this niche industry is comprised of wholesalers, importers, manufacturers, closeout, surplus, overstock, and liquidation dealers.
Retailers, Ebay Sellers, and just about anyone who is involved with mass merchandising depend on at least one or more of these supply sources to stock their store.
However, locating a distributor that can provide the right price parameters you need to make a profit, as well as one that fits your particular business model can be a daunting task.
Furthermore, newcomers to supply side purchasing can find themselves buying from B2B companies that misuse the Internet and other advertising venues to fool unsuspecting buyers into thinking that they can purchase popular retail items for pennies on wholesale dollar.
Some people starting a new venture can find themselves wasting start-up capital by purchasing what they think is a legitimate offer for resale product, only to find that they have succumbed to a “bait & switch” scam.
Enter Shane Epperson….
Having been associated with the surplus industry for sometime, Shane noticed that there was basically no where to go to find reviews and evaluations of wholesale and surplus products suppliers.
Realizing that there was an overlooked niche in the marketplace, he then launched his own supplier review forum called Surplus.cc ( http://www.surplus.cc/).
“I created Surplus.cc to be an educational forum for those who are uninitiated to the methods and practices of the wholesale and surplus industry.
By uniting both buyers and sellers of wholesale and surplus merchandise, the forum provides an environment of free flowing business ideas, as well as an open dialog about the reputation of individual suppliers.”
“Anyone who is considering a start-up venture, as well as established companies that want to research the background of a particular surplus dealer, will have instant access to member opinions and evaluations about companies that have defrauded members of the Surplus.cc ( http://www.surplus.cc ) community.
The forum also provides positive feedback from buyers who have purchased products from companies who have proven to be an honest broker, and delivered quality resale product on a consistent basis,” said Epperson.
Surplus.cc ( http://www.surplus.cc/) also covers topics that go beyond just supplier and distributor reviews, including, but not limited to: Tradeshows, Import-Export, Collection Services, Shipping Rates, Selling Ideas, Sales & Wanted listings, Seller Feedback, Buyer Scams, and lifetime advertising memberships through the Internet Marketing Association Of Surplus Dealers. The forum currently has over 700 registered users.
