Wholesalers?

I was just at Ebay and was wondering where they get all that stuff at. Such as all the used and new laptops. Actually all the stuff they have on there. How do they get the DVD's so cheap?
Is there some kind of secret society theyt belong to? I looked at several "Wholesaler sites" and found the cost to be low but the shipping is a killer.

Do people really make a living doing that?
 
You partially answered your own question.

At high volume rates, shipping is much cheaper for them than you and me. The fact they charge an even higher fee, which is also not penalized by Paypal, allows them to save even more money.
Many DVDs will be the cheaper Asian counterparts, or possibly even bootlegs.
If they're Dell Laptops, they either got in on deals from the Dell Outlet, or get in on them when Dell runs the specials.

A lot of the eBay stores have special deals with the manufacturers or take losses with some items in order to make progits with others. A lot of the non-computer items can be had cheap er from other countries if you buy in large quantities, but finding good foreign wholesalers can be difficult.
 
A lot of people on the "hot deals" sites buy stuff and pawn it on ebay for $5-$10 profit...which is kind of pathetic if you ask me, if you want petty cash like that just get a job.
